Micro-DJing: Faderfox MICROMODUL DJ4 out now
German DJ controller maker Faderfox has a new all-in-one device, the MICROMODUL DJ4, and it's about as portable as you can get.

German DJ controller maker Faderfox has a new all-in-one device, the MICROMODUL DJ4, and it's about as portable as you can get.

It's coming up to two months since Apple released their latest OS X update dubbed El Capitan. Is it OK to upgrade yet? We round up the latest news.

Traktor 2.10 adds support for the new Kontrol S5, but for many of us importantly reopens the audio interface back door closed in 2.9. Yay.

A good day for controllers it seems, and NI has officially taken the wraps from the Traktor Kontrol S5, a cut down Kontrol S8 for Stems toe-dippers.

The online stores are selling them, and NI has the hardware ready for them. And now you can make them. Yes — the Stems Creator is out in public beta today.

Traktor 2.9 is out, and with it come Stems. You can head off to the usual sources to buy some, but you'll have to wait a while to make your own.

The open source Stems file format edges ever closer to release. And to tide you over, NI has released a teaser video of Stems files being mixed.

As NI's open source Stems technology edges oh so slowly towards release, an official Stems website has appeared that should satisfy all questions.

Last month via a live webcast, NI's Chad Carrier demoed the upcoming Stems multitrack format and did a live Q&A. And we have it exclusively on DJWORX.

NI has lopped the end off of a S8 and called it a Kontrol D2. Jared got a pair and used them with his S8, turntables, and just about anything he could lay his hands on. He wrote many words, and named it a review.

The Kontrol D2 is out, and so is Traktor Pro 2.8. Out too is NI's closed door policy, which brings Rane certification and Pioneer CDJ and XDJ support.

The NI-led Stems audio format looks to shake things up. But I got to thinking about the real untapped potential, so in a future-looking moment, I scribbled down my ideas.
