now peter, can you tell in what circumstances you would use a loop when DJing?

[thedjpodcast]

@RicMansur There are sorts of reason why one would want to loop a section of a track. You can use the loop as an effect or combine parts of multiple tracks together. I can do a follow-up video on this in the future.

i love these myself. i just wish you could do one with more detail about how to record with the sample decks.

[thedjpodcast]

@djwhiteoutTraktor What about sample decks in particular would you like to see a video on?

[RicMansur]

@thedjpodcast in my case, since i just bought a S2 i would actually like to know what the sample decks are for since i didn't even activate it but i feel like i might be missing something cool?

[thedjpodcast]

@RicMansur The sample decks allow you to incorporate additional music elements like isolated drum hits or acapellas. Remember, there is no harm in trying something out. If you don't like it, turn it back off and revisit it sometime in the future.

[RicMansur]

@thedjpodcast that would be really appreciated!!

[RicMansur]
