Another way I use the remix decks live. I do 1 shot vocal stabs I chop out of tracks and accapellas and vocal loops. that way I can do remixes and mashups of tracks live on the fly and set sounds different every time. I have a lot of fun with that. Especially bringing old classics back like renegade master and pump up the jam etc.
stems yo! yes.
I just experimented with that today. Accapella of the vocal of my next song with filtered delay so you didn’t actually hear the words but more of the vibe of the melody, as I got closer to the transition, let up on the filter so the words started coming through. Loved it. Gonna try more of it.
I always use du assault samples! You should try it
Same here! Check some of my videos apply this technique! This controller is some next level thing!
I've had this mixer for 8 years stopped djing for the last 6 years but just now learning what I can do with after getting back into djing shows again. This was a great demonstration of how to use this. I never used to even touch the remix deck this makes me wanna have fun with it.
This set looks so powerful, unlimited possibilities and so much fun!!
I'm seriously considering trying it out coming from rmx1000 zabiela style mix
I've had the S8 for 8-9 years and it still has more creative possibilities then most Dj's equipment. You can probably get one for like $350 nowadays. I recommend it.@@djmcdazur
I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work over the years, Ean. You are a god amongst men!
I'm from Mississippi. And man, I wish these people liked Techno the way I do.
Great vid, Ean! The quality of the video production is excellent and your content and delivery are top notch. Thank you for posting!
Just picked up the Traktor Kontrol S5 from my Tax return it's quite the upgrade from my Numark Mixtrack 2, These videos are quite helpful in learning my controller. I'm loving the onboard screens that I can just close the Laptop and just play right on the controller
wow this was helpful. ive been djing for 5 years and i still watch these videos... very cool. Im excited to upgrade from my s4 to an s5/f1.
You gave me a couple ideas for when I head home from work. Very insightful vid - thanks!
Great video again Ian and DJTT team! This demonstration helped get my inspiration flowing and I think I have dreamed up a few tangent ideas that you seemingly overlooked (maybe you decided they weren't worth mentioning). Including, but not limited to:
1 - a grid of one shot synth samples (gotta make sure you have ones premade for the correct Key) for soloing on the fly (A "Mad Zach Sound Pack Lite" if you will)
2 - acapella loops of recognizable choruses or repetetive house vox loops to augment the song or really help glue together a transition
3 - dropping in an acapella to usher out one song into a new song (on the fly mashups in general)
4 - use a loop of another song to acheive the same effect^^^
4.5 - (Continuing from the idea above) Creating a new build up to the drop for the next song. I imagine the heavily filtered and oh-so recognizable intro from Daft Punk's "One More Time".
5 - personalized, yet playable, DJ intro. A sweep, a couple vox samples, a couple other wierd sounds and another outro sweep to play as soon as the song starts.
5.5 - a similar breakdown for ending a set or transitioning between different genres/tempos.
I will make a video in the next couple days to demonstrate what I am thinking of :)
Awesome post again! Please keep'em coming!!
Thanks for putting this together Ean.
I am not a pro and have little experience, i am happy i found all the ways you are showing to play the remix deck, it's a great comfirmation i am going the right direction, i didn't know this fighter twist can do sequencer, omg, i also could had 2 more ways to use the remix deck....thank you so much!
Long time no see, and I noticed you have a new haircut. In another note, I see you still educating your audience the right way, like always. This is awesome!!!
I'm in love learning tips from Ean. Such class man!
Im goofin around with my traktor effects up there
Haha.. Same
Thanks for this. I only have the S4 but will be trying some of these ideas out tonight.
Loved the one where you dropped the sidechained noise!
Man,this is the reason why I want to get S8,you can do whatever you want!
@George- to record loops or the full song to the remix deck first play the song on deck A or B which u wanna extract the loop, loop it 4, 8, 16 or 32 as you wish, then press shift on your remix deck and capture, then select the deck from where the loop or song will come from (CA or CB / DA or DB) C and D are the remix decks in where you wanna record the loops. thus select which pad you wanna drop your loop or full song.
Much appreciated Ean! Great video.
Just got my Traktor S4 MK2 a week ago :) Everyday is Christmas!
nice!
I'm really leaning towards this for my first purchase do you recommend?
wow this is such a strong tool.
only people living in the past would not appreciate this :)
This dude is so awesome, nice vids bro! Cheers
I have been using my F1 for these fills and low end boosts since I got it last year...I love it.
can you recommend the f1 besides a midi fighter twister? do you own a twister, too? because maybe i want to buy a f1 for my deck C while i have my decks A and B controlled by my reloop beatmix (2-channel jogwheel-controller) and deck D by my midi fighter twister...
but i don't know, if it's really needed, if i have the twister...
thanks in advance for your detailed answer!
congratulations !!!! always I like to watch all ur new videos and soon i will get my traktor s8 Im still saving money!!!!! greetings from ca usa my friend!!!
Interesting and useful video: just mapped my Akai APC Mini to play sequences. Not so easy at the beginning, but very challenging and satisfying once you succeed!
I got mine today :0) Excitement. I will start setting up my loops. I can already see doing pretty cool stuff with this grown-up toy. Started mixing in 1990 (never cared for CDJ's btw, to me they're a bastard transitional phase from vinyl to truly digital, an adaptation that lasted way too long). I remember when Traktor came out, being told that "digital" would never catch on.. I was like "WTF" of course it will ;0)
great and inspiring video. THANKS!
as a big fan of traktor, I love this video well explained
Love this video. It really helped me. So great 👍
Excellent, like allways. I hope i can see you next time in Ibiza.
thx for the review. very interesting points in this one for me.
Great video!
Nice video.
I think I'm going to get myself a Midi fighter twister in the near future
As a producer I got this controller to allow me to goof around, in a way I wished it had even more goofy around stuff. As tool should never style the performer but the visa versa, but hey it's a DJ controller (6 years later)
Thank you so much for sharing 🙏
With a kaoss pad 3, on the fly, you can accomplish quite a few of these effects. but this device clearly can do much more.
This is dope you can in essence make a hole new song lol.
Thank you, it works perfect!
Great tutorial! Thank you so much! :)
Thanks for uploading the info. .For the oldskoolers out there embracing the technology, it would have been nice if you could have shown some vocal samples working in the remix decks for a live set.
lol, I've had my s8 for like 4 months now and use it every single day. How did I never see that there was a capture button? I guess I get too into my own groove and never explored what else this controller can do.
I use the remix decks for mixtape intro. In the beginning of my mixes for about three minutes it's called crazy edits. I use vocal stems and 4 second loops. Dj Will Vargas on Mix Cloud April Mix. For example.
wow ian great video
Amazing! keep going! full Support!
Thank you for the inspiration! :)
This is awesome. Top notch all the way around. Just got Traktor software. Thank you for posting!
I've been using the S5 since it came out, and although it's missing the faders and a few other features. The only issue I'm having, is applying effects independently to STEMS/Remix Decks. I've had a difficult time finding any info on the S5 online.
Any suggestions?
BTW, The Midi Fighter Twister will be my next purchase.
I think that's going to make a really nice addition to my portable setup!
I use the remix deck live in every Set if live set or DJ Set together with The complet kollektion. Okay live into tracks from Pads till Hooks! Native Instruments are for me the best
Great video! I would like to use the S8 but I want figure out how to make it a master deck and sync it to the regular track decks from the controller.
Great video! I see now why getting that twister/seqencer might be better for me than buying maschine with my s8. Thanks!
Good Stuff!
¡Gracias!
tanks man realy good video
Hi been catching up on all your video's and was just wondering is that MIDI Fighter Twister ok to use with RekordBox as i use two cdjs and a djm850 via midi.
Just ordered an S5...
I'm curious about the quality of control I'll have for the Remix Decks, which are one of the best new features of Traktor Pro 2.
I use a clap + reverb T3 + gater + filter to create something like a sidechained white noise
Hello guys,
How can I erase a pad on the remix to free space?
Genius!
Hello Ean this may be a stupid question but on my remix deck how do you route individual effects to the send/return knob/button on FX Section #4?
The midi fighter sequencer is cool but can you add swing to the patterns? They're too tight. We want to loosen them up.
I have been reading about its possible handle the Remix Decks with any MIDI controller. So, is it possible control the Remix Decks with an Akai MPD 24 or 26? Why not?
Can we see some examples with different genre's Ean? Not just with this video, but a lot of DJ Techtools videos seem to centre about fairly minimal techno type stuff. We understand that your sound has progressed since your earlier videos, but it would be good to see some other music making an appearance, even from the other guys of the Techtools crew.
QUESTION: If I do a live performance on a remix deck within the S8, will it record into another remix deck so that it can save?? Can I do that live without Menu screen surfing? (Meaning: Going through multiple folders in the men to pull this off)
Ean, where did you get that awesome mirrorball stand?
Awesome
Great tips on how to use remix decks, the only concern I have is when layering a low kick underneath, wouldn't you have to match it to the key of the track? Thoughts on this??
it's a-tonal, no tuning will put it in or out of key.
Remi decks are super creative. I like it a lot especially to make a continuity in the mix. I think that it's wird feature but it's works very well. I'm opinion has more sense with loop samples than the shot samples...
I agree, I prefer using loop samples instead of one-shots.
retroFuture
it all depends on what the sample is i guess, i have remix sets of both, one shots to add into the loops for a more diverse sound then just the same loop, and other sounds for one shots like vocals and what not.
Ok my problem is that it is very difficult to control the tracks in the remix deck, I know where and why to use them, but they keep playing or cutting without me having full control over them. So, I basically do this beautiful undertone of whatever I want, now, I want to move on to the other part, these things are still lighting up or have gone on a loop without me hacing set them up ...
Terrace - 916 Buena Avenue.... where can I get this version of it?!
Severo tutorial ñero ese traktor es re guasaaaaaa gracias mi papá por tremendo tutorial más makiaaaa
exelente!!!
Is it possible to get the remix set? Its awesome!
Hey what is the model of the small controller and can i use F1 for automatic play hits like this controller Thanks
best tutorials for traktor
Still don't have pass on S8. Still on S4 with two F1. I thing it's way more flexible than an S8. Can u give us your feedback about it ? I mean, u are using it. on the S8, u can only have access to 4 sample at a time. So for life performance, it's quite complex to remix live, using a lot of sample. Till the time, it's a beat, a snare, a drum.. finger in the noise. but when it's loops, beats, accapellas, break downs, effect, ambiance, and when u have to control all of it it's becoming complex with the S8.. I think
I have a problem where if i put anything in a remix deck all the samples play at the same time. If i try a drum beat like in this video kick, snare and the bass would play at the same time
I get my first D2 last week and i have a couple questions..
1-i cant loop my samples,but i can some of them,why?
I want to use only triggering my remix deck loop samples,but i have problems with that,i couldnt find why,any help?
Hi! I know its kind of old video. But from where do you download these Basic Drum kits.
Thanks for the vid!! What is unique about the midi controller fighter twister thing? Is it the fact that each button also has the rotary aspect so you can change the volume of each part? Or is there something I'm missing?
the unique thing to the midi fighter twister is, that it has its own step sequenzer built in, which syncs up to traktor, that means you can sequenze a whole drumkit without even touching any button (once the rythm plays). additionally you got it right, that you can change the trigger volume of each step and sound.
furthermore you can hold these 2 middle buttons right and left on the sides to get up to 4 pages of 16 pressable encoders, so there you can map own stuff like fx and let the sequenzer play while using these pages! so you got 2 basic ideas in one little controller, for me it's just an awesome controller besides my 2 channel jogwheel-controller (reloop beatmix)
I recommend it without any drawbacks!
What is the midi controller?
DJ TechTools I can see this working with deep house and tech house and any other minimalistic house. But what about tracks that are already full? such as electro?
Then you can use loops of the tracks and layer, and specially use it to make new tracks on the fly. Whatch Roger Sanchez layering with CDJs
people still play electro? ;)
Robert Garvan Snyder I play what i like. Not what's popular.
i play electro as well and what i love to do is find the tracks that have no vocals or any vocal builds, or even a simple build that seems to be lacking and add my own sounds, find some cool vocal track, chop it up and get a good 4 beat vocal and loop it (everybody everybody everybody everybody every every every every everybody make it bounce [for example]. Another thing that i love doing is adding a kick build or snare build, most tracks have them but if you have any rhythm or drumming experience then you could pull of a kick or snare roll.
Your possibilities are endless if you think about what your options are.
A little secret i'll give you is instead of loading an acapella onto a deck and play it along side your other track, do what Ian said and move it to the remix deck, load it there and play it from there, chop it up by the section and you can play what ever part of a songs vocals wherever you want, great for mashups. If you play any hip hop or trap and know that producers put in snaps claps and vocals like "hey - hey - hey -hey", add those samples to the remix decks and taadaa!
***** Thanks. Sadly since this comment i switched to serato. :(
Should be all basic stuff... but it seems, some People need more Imagination. Nice Vid. ;-)
Great track Roberto Clementi - Lordpole
But you can do all this Stuff with Maschine. Except Recording and looping with Remix Decks. But can also be done with a much larger Setup (Allen & Heath xone 92 & Focusrite Saffire Pro 40) & Maschine (or with any Setup including a second Output and a second interface).
I noticed you didn't show the kick loop you captured.
:)
Buenas noches saludos ,, tengo un problema con mi traktor s8 , las dos pantallas se quedaron en el logo y no e ayado manera de que vuelvan a su función normal , incluso intente presionando los botones S y Q pero lo único que hace es ponerse en modo demo , espero me puedan ayudar 🙏
How do you change the trigger type without an F1?
A cool setup would be a synthesizer on one Deck and the remix on another one. so two tracks (A and B) to mix and one remix deck and one Synthesizer deck (Hardware-synthesizer)
using an fi z1 and x1 mk2 how do i use the effects 1 and 2 on my remix decks loops im controlling from the f1? thanks
+LectroSoul first activate them by activate it on the remix deck like a normal song (pressing the round 1 or 2 knob), aditionaly you have to specify at the f1 wich slot you like to use the effect by pressing shift and turn on or off the 4 buttons on the fx row (on the 4 x 4 field the 2nd row (described on the right and left border of the 4x4 field))
Where can I get this package of sounds?
i love ste s8 ...
what about the s5?
My problem - the remix decks don't actually run in sync with the track decks - the sync button has been turned on and the correct BPM number appears. Nevertheless, they do not run correctly - what else could be the reason ?
Is it possible to step sequence on the s8?
My Electribe S MK II will play it's PATTERNS on the remix deck.
My friend please explain how to record loops into the remix decks, and how long they can be. 4,8,16,32 bits ??? or may be a full song ? could u explain that please. thanks
I know this is an old question, but in case anyone is wondering: the capture button on an F1 records the loops. While holding Capture, turn the encoder to select the deck to record from. When released, you can use the encoder to select capture duration. Then press one of the pads to set that section to the button.
To load a full song into a spot, enter browse mode, and press the button you want to assign it to when the song is highlighted
how can i swich from deckA to B with keyboard? i mean every time i try to capture with z,x,c etc i always get a deckA loop,when i use ctrl+z it records from deck B but it's not a loop
program your keyboard in the settings to switch decks
thanks :) just got my s8, loving it. however, creativity is something inborn, fluid and subjective. The processes shown here are nice, but you can bet your sweet ass everybody will follow them so religiously that they become common place. I will to, but id like to think that i can wring more out of these technological offerings. Here we go and a toast to experimentation :)
Nice Content about the S8. Maybe you could make a Video about the S8 in other Genres than House. What are the Pros there?
I see what you are saying, not everyone DJ's tech house and techno. And correct me if I am misinterperating your question, but the pros of demonstrating with house tracks on the minimal side of the spectrum allow for the viewer to hear and differentiate the application of the software, samples, effects, and techniques better than say, Dubstep or Big Room. But I agree that a proliferation of the genres used in the demonstrations in general would be useful and appreciated. Maybe even help DJTT appeal to an even larger audience. Good insight :)
***** Thats the point bro. I am a cross genre DJ and i need something that suits every genre. It would be very interesting to see some Turntables plugged into that thing or the standalone mixer section with cdj's and turntables :)
I don't see why that couldn't be the subject of another DJTT video- they have plenty of gear. *cough* IAN *cough* ;) It sounds like you are a multi-format DJ as well? I think a hybrid turntable set up with the S8 could open a lot of doors to new creative possibilities- especially with the additions of remix decks on the controller.
Side note: OMG a nice person with constructive comments on CZcams?!?!?! :D
Same to you dude :p
i feel the reason he used house to demonstrate this is because of houses simplicity and structure. You can loop a 4/4 anything and get it to sound good with house, so why not experiment with a genre that is simple to explain vs. a track with sounds on off beats, that requires song knowledge and understanding/practice, which is more personal.
But i totally understand your question, which i believe he should have touched on and said something like what i just explained to avoid these kinds of questions.
Pls make video for remix deck map settings
hello ! nice post.
how do you record the traktor interface to show us what your doing ?
+Anselme M I think with a screen capture program?!, just google screen capture and you may will find a lot of diffrent software. Sry for my English ^^
