@scottrichter4077 4 года назад

Great video, thanks. I'm trying to use the remix decks for mixing in well known loops to my existing set. Right now every time I grab a loop and put it into the sample deceit either plays too fast or too slow? When I capture these beats, how do I capture it or set the settings so that my captured beats sync to my existing set/songs?

@digitaldjtips 4 года назад

The remix decks have a sync function just like a normal deck, so you need to have that enabled on the Remix deck, hopefully that should fix it. If not, take a look more closely at individual sample / slot level, as sync can also be switched on / off there too :)

@jonlawrance8383 Год назад

How do you save the samples you choose and edit so they're all back there next time you open Traktor? I spent some time playing around with it adding samples and then closed the programme thinking I was set but it was all gone when I opened Traktor again. Can't seem to find a save button!

@user-qv7lo1xz3g 7 месяцев назад

I’d like to know this too

@paddymcgrath605 6 месяцев назад

I'm new to Traktor, come from Rekordbox. Quick question and it may be a stupid question. The sample you grabbed at the end "let's drop".. can this be done on the Kontrol S3 mk3 in the same way? Have only seen it done on the S4 Mk3. I'm presuming it's software that allows it.

@amitkatri7229 5 лет назад

Hey there great video! When loading samples I've cut from Sony sound forge, the one shots tempo is not in sync when I'm mixing on the fly, it's either too fast or too slow? Can you tell me where I might be going wrong? Better still a video? 😊

@lgessa 5 лет назад

Also, you can access all the slots from the remix set straight from the S4, using shift and the browser knob. But is a shame you can no longer drag a loop directly into the slots.

Indeed! Thanks for sharing Lourdes.

You can scroll through the samples by using the Browse encoder I believe :)

@ysasmendi 5 лет назад

How are you seeing the mixer and the in/out loop points while using a Mac? I have a Retina display and cannot get the in/out loop points to show at the same time as the mixer. I have to hide the latter to make room for the former.

@SteveCanueto 5 лет назад

Hmmm, go to preferences > decks layout > deck layout and make sure that you don't have "essential" selected. This will remove the loop buttons. You need to have "Full" or "Advanced" selected and it should show up. Hope that helps! :)

@Nedicine 5 лет назад

PLEASE answer this. How can u map a freaze mode on s4mk3. I didint expect them to get away that feature from tgis controler... I mean even s5 have freaze mode and its almost half of its price... i asked this question on many videos even urs and no one mention this mode on s4mk3

@digitaldjtips 5 лет назад

At the moment you can't map anything to the S4 MK3, you only have the default mappings. Maybe soon they will open it up to be able to customise.

@Gruftgrabbler 4 года назад

I got catched by the native instruments advertising saying that on the S3 you have "full control over the remix decks" After some trying out I realised that this "full control" almost means: "absolutely no control", if you want control buy a F1 ... great ...

@luigiavila6102 3 года назад

Yup thought there would be more hands on control.. still the trackpad and an f1 seems like it is needed. Laaaaaaaasame

@wielkilew 5 лет назад

how do you record whole phrases,? i.e. id like to be able to record 16 bars of the song im playing currently and put it in the remix deck so i can play the loop over some different tracks in my set later. but not by dragging the title, it can get a bit messy playing live

@digitaldjtips 5 лет назад

You need to create 16 bar sections of the tracks as samples and put them in a remix set, or you could try the loop recorder for doing it live.

@wildamerican2771 4 года назад

How do you record one shot samples to quantize and stack loops? Basically make a track

@IncisionSheffield 3 года назад

When sampling directly from the deck does that sample save in your library or is it lost once you remove it from the sampler deck ?

Yes you should be able to save them automatically, check the settings

@digitaldjtips 5 лет назад

It is possible to use other rows but is is VERY clunky. Here's what Native Instruments say: "Holding down the lower pad will select the corresponding remix deck cell. Using the browse encoder while holding the pad will give access to select the next or previous sample by turning the encoder"

I'd check in on the Traktor forums, might be some "power users" who can help you out :)

@manny_f 5 лет назад

Personally, I think this is gimmicky crap. When I started off with Traktor 8 years go I tried to cram every feature into my controller mappings, but once I started doing real DJ sets it quickly dawned on me that a lot of those fancy features, while very attractive on marketing blurb, are not very useful at all in a set. I've used one remix decks mainly for one shots and playing a loop over other tracks. I wouldn't ever want to tap out a crappy drum loop during my sets. Just me anyway.

@digitaldjtips 5 лет назад

No fair point, a lot of stuff you can get excited about ends up unused when actually gigging - still there are definitely those out there that do take full advantage of what's on offer :)

@imskydrop1251 4 года назад

Porter Robinson as well as quite a few other big name djs have opened sets with them making a drum beat to the song their introducing. Just because it's a lot of work to be doing a lot of APMs during a set doesn't mean it's "gimmicky crap" IMO.
