How to use TRAKTOR remix decks 

I know this is 4 years old but i just got an S3 and your videos have helped me immensely the past week. I ended up making a Midi mapping template for Maschine MK3 that maps Group pads E-H to all 64 slots on the focused remix deck. It also maps the 8 knobs to the POTS on the maschine to control D/W and the single/group FX POTS For unit 1&2. Has pad group D that functions to stop individual slots in remix decks. Pad group B allows you to cycle which FX are active in the units aswell as take snapshots and toggle between Single and group fx. It maps the buttons above these knobs to activate and deactivate the fx individually. Pad group A is mapped to the mixers function of FX unit sends so you can also press a pad to activate and deactivate the fx units in each deck individually. And lastly it maps the 4D-Encoder to switch the focused Deck.

Alright this is amazing. I’ve had the Traktor S8 for about two years now and I haven’t messed with the remix decks yet, but this is really inspiring. Great tutorial! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

I'm blown away by this. It's and amazing tutorial approach too. I have been looking into making a few remix paks for my own songs and for the Groove Shadows concept. That is amazing you can just splice on the fly and drag them over. My brain is finally get wrapped around the power of this approach to music.

This is the best review I've ever seen , though plenty of other channels do proper work . I loved watching you and did not expect to still discover , or consider new stuff . CThanks !

Amazing deep dive into the remix decks. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

YOOOOO at 45min where you drag the loop from Track A into the Remix Deck in B and use it as a LOOPED SAMPLE, BOOOOM!! That was sick. I thought you were about to use the recorder to do that in a round about way. Just the straight drag and drop, UGH, so sick. Glad I kept watching, this is why I chose TRAKTOR!!!!!

Just....wow,,,,this guy is the best tutorial I've ever gotten, just in general....I don't think I want to watch anyone else's tutorials anymore.

Superb. Wish I’d started watching your tutorials ages ago. Have an S4 Mk3 and have only ever used remix decks for 1 shots. Got an F1 arriving tomorrow and can’t wait to play around with it for doing on the fly live track remixes

17:47 you still can just double click on phase meter with your mouse to insta reset ;)

Fantastic tutorial, so inspiring! Thank you.

Thank you so much! I have been trying to figure out this for years.

Always top of the line content!

Thank you so much for this useful video! now I love Traktor :D

Totally amazed by what you’ve taken us through here. Thank you

Thats the perferct introduction! Thanx!!!

Cheers, that was awesome. I've spent a few days with both Serato, VirtualDJ and Rekordbox and am glad to have finally found what I need ('need') in Traktor's Remix Decks. I also appreciate the little producer tips like setting the In and Out points when the deck is stopped to edit samples. I'm going to go hunt down your sequencer video now. P.S. Hello from New Zealand.

Thanks for the tutorial!

Thank you for this amazing video! It‘s answered all my questions.

Been looking for a tutorial on this topic , thanks!

I've just invested in some software and the controllers.I'm super excited to get into this remixing.So wish I made the move from Pioneer sooner.

This is a really useful video because I've been using an S5 for ages and I never knew I could do all these things. Now why couldn't Native Instruments include a tutorial like this in the 1st place?

Thank you

Your channel is lit! Keep it up! Great work!

Traktor Remix decks; this was the reasons why I bought an S8. However hardly used them.

Thank you Dave🙌🎛 thank you!🙆‍♂️🎚🕺

You're such a good teacher~! Can't wait to get the F1 now :-)

thanks man !!! great stuff

I found your channel by chance and I subscribed to it I am a beginner and do not own any device dj or controller ! All I own is a computer only and I have some information on the basics of music And I was looking for a program that would help make a simple remix of any song without complications of the DAW And I found this program Traktor Dj Thank you for this explanation, and I hope that you will provide us with other explanations or an explanation to make a remix of a particular song I followed the entire video. It seems that this program is easy to make a remix I just have to learn and understand it well And I can remix any song using the computer only without controller dj or any other device Thank you for this explanation

❤

You can double click the phase meter to get it back in sync without using the nudge button

Hi! I have a problem with samples. When i play them in loop mode its out of rhythm I mean tempo. Nothing is synchronize even if the sync is on. Deck C and D are not sync with A or B. I sync every column manually bit its out of rhythm.Only A and B deck are sync. Does anybody know how to set it up or I have software problem or I missed something?

Wicked video guys . You made it look so easy and easy to follow the instructions too .. but did you really need that many cameras ;)

thank i learn a lot.

Hi Dave, thanks for the video mate. I have an issue tho. When I use F1 controller, I have no pre-listen function (the one that is activated by pressing Shift+ monitor on F1). And when I press pre-listen on the remix deck in TRAKTOR - the signal of the running loop from F1 goes to the headphones as the same as the main output. I cannot hear anything in cues. Do you know how to fix this matter please? Thanks a lot for your time. Cherrs, Charly

Hi, absolutely love this video I've just bought an F1 and x1 to go alongside my S4 and this has been so helpful to get an understanding of how to use it properly!! I was wondering, I'm about 50 minutes on this video and you're making your own remix set do you have to think a lot about key when you're taking the samples because I presume they can all get a bit messy if the key doesn't match? Will be watching more videos for sure, are there any others in particular that would be good to watch for my setup? Thanks!

Hey man! Thank you very much for your video, it’s great! I have one question to you - I am currently using Pioneer DJJ-Wego4 controller (2decks controller, track deck mode A&B), and I recently bout Traktor F1 to add some “spices” in the way of using the remix decks for deck C & D. And my problem is that the Volume Faders (left & right) on my Pioneer controller control at the same time the volume of deck C & D. But I just want to have volume control over my remix decks on F1. Any ideas, which changes can I make to change this? So simply I need to deactivate the volume control option on my Pioneer control for the deck C&D. Thank you in advance!

Its not working properly. When I activate the 1/4 Quantize , and play a rythm on maschine with one shots, samples play a very weird rythm not in time. Please help !!!!!!!

I love this video thank you! I feel the f1 looks a little limited for what I'm hoping to do. What is your favorite controller to use with the samples deck other than f1? anything to flat out avoid? Thanks!

because I am not Carl Cox times 4 :)

Question: it appears you have either stickers or some sort of overlay of the traktor key mappings on your qwerty keyboard? Could you share how you acquired and or fabricated that? Great video, look forward to spending time reviewing the others

My D2 kontroller is not syncing always..Samples are ok but its not syncing with djm 900nxs mixer,do i need to use internal mixing for remix deck?

Have a problem with saving my remix sets something about a corrupted file flashes at the bottom .. and when I try and load it back in . Wasted an hour finding sample clips that I thought I was saving as I went on to find it wouldn't load anything back and lost the lot. No happy

Hi man, but... How does the Traktor S4 MK3 control the 64 samples bank in each deck? Considering the pads are only 16 per channel... I wish a quick sample use in a musician style... Thank you!!! 🙏😍

hey mate, you got any idea how to load/fill all sample slots in remix deck at one time instead of loading them individually to create a remix set? I saw it somewhere there is a keyboard shortcut to do this. Do you know it?

Is there no way the remix deck to beatmacht perfectly to the normal deck without doing it by ear using the bend? I mean to match both beats using just sync and getting no phase shift as normal decks would do. Thank and great video

I have a problem which i cant figure out if is even possible on the Remix Decks. I collected several drumsessions from popsongs. They have different bpm. One is 85 bpm, other is 125. Offcourse i know the sync-function, but….. im making a mashup of songs. So after 1 minute of looping 85 bpm, i want to switch to 125 bpm. I could change the mastertempo, but they should be done manually (as far as im aware) in the software. And that is my problem: i wanna do that within a second. The questions is, HOW? Or am i trying an impossible thing to do? Ableton does have the possibility to switch the mastertempo/bpm in any part of the song…. But i wanna do it with my F1’s in Traktor. Im a (bedroom)DJ, not a producer….

can u video on 'how to link traktor with ableton'. thnx clear a doubt about remix decks.

My master clock disapears when i have 4 decks enabled! How is yours still showing?!

whats the order of the slots on the remix set/deck? thinking about mapping a k2 for remix deck

i have a F1 ,i miss my S5 now

I can't seem to find a single video or site or in the manual how to delete a sample from a remix cell slot. Either in the Traktor Pro 3 software, or on the s8 controller. Can anybody please help?

Bu african drums sadece 2 pack var. Daha çok nereden bulabilirim? Lutfen yardim

Hello, thank you for your explanation, from where can I get all this sample ? I have only four on my traktor software , especially I won't to download west African , thank your for your response.

really good video man, cheers! I got a question and maybe you can help me, i m a starter and i have a traktor kontrol s2 mk2, I normally use 2 tracks decks and 2 remix decks. Everytime i got a good loop from deck A or B and send it to deck C, i m trying to leave it in the deck C but it sounds at a diferent time, not talking about the bpm, but about the moment they re playing. What i want it s to use that loop from deck A in remix reck c but playing at the exact same tempo and time, so i can leave it playing in the deck C while i search for a new song to deck A and without having any notice in the audio. Is there anyway to do that?

I've been searching for this for ages, but how do I scroll through cells on a remix deck WITHOUT buying the F1? (Just with the main mixer)

Carl Cox times4 🤣

Hi, is it possible to use Traktor F1 with traktor S3?

I can't be bothered to actually DJ at a party!!! LOL!!!!

how can you compare the scratchbank to using remix decks

Please can traktor work with xb3 controller on macOs?

U JUST NEED TO PUT A FOLDER FULL OF MUSIC IN THE PLAYLIST BIT AND AUTO PLAY THE WHOLE FOLDER CROSSFADER ACTION IN THE SETTINGS,NO BUTTONS TO PRESS FOR EVERY SONG U CAN PUT FADE INS FADE OUTS ON TRACKS U CAN JUST STAND A WATCH IT DO ITS THING ITS AMAZING SOFTWARE

is it normal that the volume with loop recorder is WAY lower than the original sound? Also on some tracks it makes some funny stuff, like it chops something off from the last beat...

hello question , I can import sample from tracsource to remix deck?

This video was super inspiring so I downloaded the remix package from NI website and followed the instructions to load them into the latest version of traktor and when I did they all came up blank when I load them into a deck and it is causing traktor to keep crashing. I requested support from NI and they sent me a tool to open but the link is non functional. Has this happened to anyone else? Maybe delete everything and start over? Thank You for all the tutorials D.A.V.E!

Step sequencer tutorial :)?

the stems software does not work

2:04

The " reason " im using " traktor" is " lógic" .

Do more advertising, is it serious to watch 4 promotional video before the Stream even starts?

That sample kit may be good for Trance, House, EDM, etc.. but. I'm not seeing the benefit of the samples for hip-hop. Traktor would be much better if NI hurry their ass and come out with Stems Like Serato, Algoriddum, and Virtual Dj have,

putting entire tracks into remix decks is an absolutely stupid idea that has nothing to do with reality

Hi Dave, What an amazing video. I'm really getting into it. I have 2 D2 Kontrols and a Z1 (soon update). Now do you know, how ean golden, dj tech tools, see vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MNFomR4srLw.html Can assign wav.s from one colloumn, to ind. Buttons on his controller! I thought you could only use 1 of 4 in each rmx deck. What he's doing is another whammy on top. How does that work? Love J

Such a superficial video!

My D2 kontroller is not syncing always..Samples are ok but its not syncing with djm 900nxs mixer,do i need to use internal mixing for remix deck?

hi guys...can anybody help me....i have a mixer s2 mk2 and the traktor pro ..when i turn on the sync on the track and remix descs the song make some glitches and gets out of the beat between samples and song..is anything wrong on the setings or is it a software problem ..thank you.

How do you save a remix set?
