@DeeJayEndo How do you do that DJ Endo, there so much on this thing I just can't seem to get enough time i'm on it daily. Thanks anyway.

[DeeJayEndo]

@Deathcoree That might be a bug actually. Try changing the deck size by double clicking on the deck header or in preferences - decks

[DeeJayEndo]

@Djcol1990 Yes you can use the sample decks to cut out your favorite parts of your track and quickly recall them in the track collection / all samples folder. This can be a great way to play those party rocking loops that you love from each track without having to find the track, find the loop in the track, set the loop, trigger the loop, and sync it. You would use the sample decks to capture the loop and its there for whenever you want to recall it.

@xRxAxTxOx you can adjust the filters of ALL of the samples together, however stay tuned to Traktors twitter page for future Traktor announcements. *hint hint*

[DeeJayEndo]

@jauwjauw2 preferences - effects and in the global section at the top you can choose what effect your using by clicking the drop down menu. Then tweak them with the effects buttons on your controller

@remmaster96 I don't understand your question

[DeeJayEndo]

@johnmarquart94 Thanks! - Endo

[DeeJayEndo]

@djedwnpk Correct. For now... stay tuned to Traktor's twitter for updated info on future updates. *hint hint*

@Djcol1990 loops are very useful for mixing, it's very often used in mixing, for example for a transition to repeat a certain part of the song that you want to fade out etc.

How do you activate the filters next to the volume in the sample decks? It only shows volume on mine, thanks in advance
