The moment you open up the box of a pair of HDJ-2000 Pioneer headphones feels almost magical, and it better would, as the first thing you can say about these headphones is that they're definitely not cheap. Pioneer really put the price mark far above most other DJ headphone offerings on the market, around 300€'s including VAT in Europe, or 350$ in the US.

On 1 November 2008, Native Instruments, the company behind the hugely popular Traktor software line released the latest version of their DJ-ing software package named Traktor Pro, along with it’s companion Digital Vinyl System (DVS) Traktor Scratch Pro, allowing users to control tracks on their computer using traditional turntables and control vinyl’s.

All these changes clearly indicate a paradigm shift away from the traditional 2 decks mixing of Traktor 3, towards a more flexible and live-oriented performance software that Traktor Pro is aiming to be. Interestingly, in the DJ software world, the largest player for live performance software has always been Ableton Live, of version 8 was recently released.
