The Best Add On Controller For Your DJ Setup? Remix Decks - Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol F1 

FYI - There is a few pops and clicks around the 6 minute mark as there was an issue with the recording, but I hope that doesn't put you off. I'll make sure it doesn't happen on the next one. :-)

I just found the perfect youtube video to get started on the F1. Love how you've explained every feature step by step so concisely.

Amazing tutorial. I hope NI is paying you for this.

Found this late but thanks mate just what I was looking for 👊🏻

By far the best tutorial series on the F1, above all else. Love these, very thorough and straight to the point.

I've had an F1 now since I won it from NI's FB during last Christmas. Now, I could goof off with it, but I really needed something like this tutorial. Thank you very much!

Thank You So Much! You just introduced me to a whole new realm of creative possibilities with the Remix Decks and Traktor Capture1

Loved it. This was much needed for all the traktor F1 users. Detailed information. Looking forward to the whole series of these videos on traktor F1.

9:12 LOL 😄 tnx for the video 👍

I almost bought Roland TR8S but you just trained me on making my own sequences but my F1. Thank you so much!!!! I wish Native instruments would have this type of training on their products.

Just ordered an F1 to add to my rig; I appreciate this vid to give me some idea of how to add it to my workflow. Thanks.

Thanks. This is so helpful! I got an S4 Mk2 and a couple of F1s a few years back when NI dropped prices to push STEMS but never quite got to where I used them as intended. These tutorials are pitched perfectly to get me using these controllers to make the sounds I want.

Crushing it D.A.V.E....thanks for your information and help. You are a Guru. I'll be back for more.

This thing is a beast! It looks so complex that I find myself wondering how to increment my sets but without overdoing it and having to think too much. :)

finally got one of these to complete my setup. CEX selling them really cheap 2nd hand. and mine looks brand new

hi dave lockdown dj here bought an f1 on ebay six months ago , just watched your tutorials an im gonna finally plug it in & have a go cheers for the videos there the best on here .

Great mini tutorial, very good hands on how to, and with the F1 at my side immediately made it happen. Keep up the great work.

Best tutorial I've seen thus far!! Keep up the good work bud.

I got this last week and I'm loving it. I am a producer not a dj so this works perfectly for me

finally bought one of these for £70 from CEX (much cheaper than ebay). great little gadget, i already want another one. give me so many options.

Epic, thanks for that. Cant wait to watch the other parts. I have an F1 in the post, to stave off the lockdown blues.

You just sold this to me in a couple minutes. I was looking for an alternative to the RMX1000 for Traktor and this is incredible. Thank you!!

Thank you friend! I was looking forward to a kick ass F1 tutorial to learn how to use the two I just bought on ebay :-) Perfect tutorial! Thanks!!!

Love your Geek Level Training!!!❤❤❤

Nice tutorial. Excited for the next episodes! :)

This video convinced me to buy one, keenly looking forward to the 3rd video in the series!

U are amazing! Iv been stumped on how to use the F1. Iv have It for a couple week and this is going to help me a great deal! I feel some great mixes comming along! You are amazing!

Just got mine. Very good tutorial THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Sir, thank you so much for sharing this video.

thanks man, now i feel rdy for my new f1 :)

Looking forward to part 3 hopefully will land soon

Thanks Dave, another really great tutorial 🙌

Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

Wonderful tutorials...Using Remix Dex and Stems are the way to go... I wonder why they never really got wide acceptance?

el mejor tutorial de traktor f1 , gracias DAVE!!!!

I love you so much, man! 😩😭 thanks for this video. I haven't even seen the other 3 vids.

Best dj tutorial on youtube! Thank you soo much! :)

have helped me make my mind up with what I'm buying

What a nice explanation! Still wondering how would i benefit using it with my S2mk3. Keep up the good work!

Hi Dave, Great videos, have learnt alot from these. Was wondering if there was a part 5 (midi) as mentioned.And if it can be recorded on a daw in midi and then edited 🤔. Thanks again 👍👍👍

Very Well Put together Tutorial..Keep it up. waiting for the next one

Boss is back! I almost bought one 2 weeks ago, it was 50 neuro second hand, but someone was faster ;D im using x1 with sldzs. (edit) now im sure i will continue lookin for Fone!

Hey, thanks for the cool, informative video. I was wondering if anybody on the comments could help here. I have a Traktor Audio 6. Using Scratch Pro 2 Timecode Vinyl. Turn tables in to Audio 6 - Out to my Denon prime 4 inputs. With a Traktor X1 connected so i do not have to touch the laptop with Traktor Pro 3 installed. All works 100%. However, i would like to connect my Z1 to be used as the primary mixer instead of the Prime 4. Would like to eliminate the Prime 4 all in all. Any advice how to do this as the Z1 only has outputs and no inputs for the Audio 6...

Great Tutorial, and I'm only on the first one!

I’m glad your bringing this back!

Awesome content Dave, you are really great at this. Hope you have a great set where ever you are jamming 👍👍👍

Dude you're a legend

Thanks so much for this. Great explanation with a bit of humour. ♥️

Wow awesome tutorial thanks! Looking forward to watching the rest in your series.

excellent stuff man, this helped convince me to buy an F1.

subscribed...Great Tutorial

Thank you!

Awesome Tutorials mate. Clear precise instructions

Thanks for this! help me a lot

Great! Thank you! MORE!

thanks a lot im thinking about getting it to complement my S5 and have more hands on control of my remix decks as well as being able to use the step sequencer since im not able to use it with the S5

THANKS TO THE NEW LATES.

DAVE - RU-vid needs more quality instructional content just like this. Thank you soooo much for covering everything bruv! I am a huge fan of the F1 and enjoy learning more about it (thanks to you). Now this question I have is more software related and I'm hoping you can help me out here - My question is regarding the saving of the remix sets. I checked in my Traktor settings and I have the box checked to auto save the remix sets. It will save a remix set but it seems when I start a new remix set, it overides the previously saved one. Any ideas?

Thank you for these

Super tutorial.Hands on wit practical application is the sweet spot. Also I'm loving jungle warrior.So if I'm running my decks (A & B) as track decks and my BPM is at 180 and I load the remix decks with Jungle warrior can I keep the BPM constant upon loading?I think the default was 169?

This was really good and helpful. Thank you :-)

Super video, nice one DAVE!

Nice one DAVE. Been waiting for these. Hope you're good. Long time. : )

Rave alarm!

Great tutorial!

Excellent! How about setting up one shots via tracks in Traktor and adding them to a Remix Deck on the S4 MK3?

Thanks for the content DAVE! Any real experience using F1 together with S2? That's my setup at the moment, usually I would perform with s2 (and traktor pro 3). Now after getting f1 I didn't realise before that f1 will be mapped for 1 deck. So if I play normal tracks on track decks A and B using built in S2 mapping then I have to map S3 to DECK C or D and then my biggest issue is that a lot things have to be done with the mouse(disatvanted of having 2 CHANNEL controller yeah). Simple question here: any good mappings on how to perform 2 track decks plus 1 remix/stem deck at the same time and using only S2 and F1? Cheers

helpful thanks

I like the beat

Hey great video. Just one question before I buy, can you please advise if the F1 X1 & Z1 will work with virtual dj 8. Many thanks.

I appreciate this vid to give me some idea of how to add it to my workflow. Thanks.

This is an excellent video. @Dave Digital and Vinyl Expert - could you have a normal mixer (4 channels) with a Xone K2 (4 channels) and use the F1 as one of the channels on the K2 and have the sample deck then 4 channels of its own via the F1? I.e. can you use the K2 with the F1?

Your traktor vids are the best I've seen! I have one silly question about pro 3: I have a s4 mk2 and every time I hit the browse button on the controller it sets it into a mode that won't allow me to play with the browser open... if I use the space bar on the computer the browser opens but I can still play songs? I want my button on my s4 to act like my space bar!!!! How do I do that?

My wife just bought me a NI Kontrol S2 for Christmas, I haven't mixed in about 15 years, can this work as an add on for that unit for Stems etc?, or will my unit cover all of that?, bear in mind I haven't set it up yet due to space constraints, thanks!

Dave - Massive Fan of your channel mate - great vid. I am buying a Z1/F1/X1 next week so bear w me - is it possible to capture a sample of a track, save it in memory and then use it over two different tracks playing on Deck A and B?

Do u have a patrion ma bro? I need to say thank u PROPERLY. you tought me a MASTER CLASS WAAAAAY BETTER than any course

love working with Traktor can be so creative with it between the remix decks and started getting into the Stems... but then my S8 started giving me problems the PS kept going bad after the 3rd one the whole unit stop working.... was thinking about these F1's cause they are USB power...heard some stories about USB going bad let me know

HEY DAVE question when making you remix decks do you do them and name them by BPM... it would sound crazy trying to put in remix that was 120 with a track that was 130 cause with sync on that track would be playing to fast.... so do you try to play remix decks similar with the BPM you are currently in cause it is crazy having a remix deck with BPM all over the place

U r videos always awesome and self explained 🤩😄👌🥰 I really learned from you a lot thanks man 💓 Quick question can i use this as midi controller and map it on ableton live daw To record and edit sounds at the same time while I record my podcast

well DAVE thanks for these tutorials, they are awesome. BUT i cant seem to pass the first step for three days now. I have searched the whole internet and no answer nor fix to my issue. I cant seem to get the NI remix paks to work in traktor pro 3. I downloaded the remix sets from NI, loaded them into track collection in traktor, they o appear there in terms of titles but they have exclamation mark on the beginning and when loaded into a remix deck i get the following message : "can not play due to a missing or corrupt file'. I dont get how can these be missing nor corrupt when i got them from NI and i loaded them from my folder into traktor. If anyone can help i would be very greatful as i couldnt find a fix for this after trying everything possible that has been posted n the internet

Hi dave, you mentioned to watch the phase meter with the remix decks. I am having a weird issue where my remix deck C won't sync with track decks A or B. I have remix deck C sync on, quantize on set to 1 beat, beatsync on and the master clock internal set so none of decks A, B or C are the master. My remix deck C will only sync properly when I play the first sample (beat count is 1.1.1). Any new sample played after does not sound beat matched. The samples are beat gridded correctly, as when i load them into a track deck they sync fine. I tried a sample in A, track in B, same sample in remix deck C. The sample in remix deck C was slightly lagging the same sample in track deck A. Any ideas?? I posted on NI forum too. Thanks.

Hello I would like to know if we can use the effect of maschine inside of Traktor pro 3 like send and return I use xone 96 Many regards

❤🎉

Hey best F1 tutorials around! Question: How can I disable my Remix Decks C&D from also playing my Cue Points on Tracks Decks A&B? It seems that when I'm on the C&D Pads, they still trigger the A&B Cue Points for some reason...

Can the F1 be used alone to control traktor? I need to trigger/beatmatch

Hi Dave, congrats for the tuto. Just a quick Q : I noticed you triggered Stop by holding Shift and a mute button. Is this a specific midi mapping ? Cause it's been some weeks I am looking a way to stop a remix deck without using my laptop keyboard in order to load another remix set. thanks !

Hey Dave I have two F1 and Im really interested in get one F1 in user mode to play with the step sequencer in deck C , for example, and for the other one F1 in midi mode running the Endo's Fx mapping in midi mode, Is this posible? And How? Best reggards from Spain!!!

For the traktor kontrol F1: Are there any digital download tutorial video free or for a small price?

can you capture a loop from a track that is playing live, if so what are the appropriate settings for snap/quantize?

Do you have a video on using Machine 2 software and Maschine Jam?

Can I use this alongside my XDJ-XZ? 🙂

There are no videos or instructions on cable connection of the F1 to a DJ controller.to a computer. how do you connect where and what? What is connected to what first?

GO is Gate override.

Dave do think this would work if i was to use a midi connector that plugs into RJ45 PORT and it work

Q: I hit a snag - when I toggle to step sequencer mode after setting up a sequence, it won't play. There's a single yellow pad and whatever others I selected in blue, but when I hit Browse nothing happens. I tried switching modes, hitting Browse a few times and Shift+Browse - no dice. Help! Does it matter that I have two decks (original S4/Pro 3/PC) in Step Sequencer mode?

I need help desperately, i download the file, unpack it but traktor does not load the file(no file cover either) and don't know what to do.

hi, i made loops on ableton on 1/16 grid and exported them to make a remix set, i use the remix sets with sync but there is latency issue, the remix decks sound off time, how do i fix that?

will the Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol F1 Controller work on theStanton SCS.4DJ

Hey Dave is there any way to capture a loop into a remix deck straight from Traktor? Is there a capture button in the Traktor Interface...That is, without the F1?
