3 Software Installation
Before starting the TRAKTOR software installer, here are some points to be aware of:
Software Installation
Installation on Mac OS X
▪ Make
sure you have downloaded the TRAKTOR software to your computer by following the
instructions on the registration page:
www.native-instruments.com/go-tsa10
If you have already registered your device but need to download the installer again, you
can find the relevant downloads in the "My Account" section of the NI website:
https://www.native-instruments.com/en/my-account/my-products-serials
▪ Please carefully review the installer screens and the suggested installation paths in order
to avoid that any unwanted folders are created on your hard disk.
▪ Moving installation folders related to Native Instruments software after installation is not
recommended. Future software updates rely on the directory locations set during initial in-
stallation.
3.1 Installation on Mac OS X
At the end of the installation process you will need to restart your computer. Please save
your work and close all applications before proceeding.
3.1.1 Locate and Start the Installation Program
1.
Locate and unpack the downloaded installer package file on your computer.
2. Double-click the Traktor 2 Installer.mpkg file to start the installation procedure.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
3.1.2 Select the Components to Install
you have accepted the software license agreement, the installer window displays the
After
components available for installation. This installer screen also contains information about how
much disk space the individual components will use.

Software Installation
Installation on Mac OS X
The components selection screen of the installation program.
It is recommended to keep all features selected unless you have a specific reason to dese-
lect a feature (such as if this feature is already installed on your computer, or you know for
sure you will not use the device).
Basic Installation:
This installs the TRAKTOR software along with its documentation. This component cannot be deselected. It also installs the Service Center application (required for activation of your product) and the Controller Editor application, which allows you to configure the
controllerʼs MIDI assignments for using the controller with other applications than the included
software.
Audio 8/4/2 DJ Drivers: This installs drivers for the AUDIO 8 DJ, AUDIO 4 DJ and AUDIO 2 DJ
audio interfaces by Native Instruments. If you do not intend to use any of these audio interfaces, you can deactivate the checkboxes.
TRAKTOR SCRATCH A10 - Setup Guide - 11
Software Installation
Installation on Mac OS X
Traktor Kontrol S4: This installs the driver for the TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 controller. If you do
not intend to use a TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 controller on your computer, you can deactivate
the checkbox.
Traktor Kontrol S2: This installs the driver for your TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 controller. If you do
not intend to use a TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 controller on your computer, you can deactivate
the checkbox.
Traktor Audio 2/6/10 Drivers: This installs drivers for the TRAKTOR AUDIO 2, TRAKTOR AUDIO 6 and TRAKTOR AUDIO 10 audio interfaces by Native Instruments. Make sure the TRAK-
TOR AUDIO 10 component is selected as the interface will not work properly without its driver
installed.
Traktor Kontrol X1: This installs the driver for the TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 DJ controller. If you
do not intend to use a TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 controller on your computer, you can deactivate the checkbox.
Background Components
These components are not displayed in the installer window, but are installed depending on
your system configuration:
Controller Editor: The Controller Editor application allows you to configure your Native Instruments hardware controller (e.g., TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 or X1) for use as a MIDI controller
with applications other than the TRAKTOR software. This component will automatically be installed if you install one of the controller drivers (unless a newer version of Controller Editor
already exists on your computer).
Service Center: The Service Center application is required for activation of the TRAKTOR software. It will be installed independent of the selected drivers (unless a newer version of Service
Center already exists on your computer).
Control Panel: The Control Panel is an audio settings configuration tool, installed with the driver of the TRAKTOR AUDIO 10. Most of its settings can too be controlled from the TRAKTOR
software user interface, so you probably won't need the Control Panel when using TRAKTOR.
For more information on the Control Panel, please refer to the TRAKTOR AUDIO 10 manual.
It is strongly recommended to install the TRAKTOR software to the default location. If you
still need to change the install location, click on the folder icon in the Location column and
select the desired folder.

If you want to use CD players instead of turntables, you can skip this chapter and continue
reading in chapter ↑5.4, Connecting CD Players.
If you want to use the specific Control Vinyls to control your tracks playing in TRAKTOR, you
need to connect your turntables to the TRAKTOR AUDIO 10 audio interface as described below. Please note:
▪ We assume that, when viewed from the DJ's position, one turntable is placed on the left
of your DJ mixer, while the other turntable is placed on the right. Therefore, in this Setup
Guide, the left and right turntables are labeled L and R, respectively.
▪ We assume that you have already connected your turntables to power outlets, but did not
switch them on yet. If your turntables are switched on, switch them off before proceeding.
