| More info - bit.ly In our Digital DJing with Traktor Pro 2 program, students learn the fundamental concepts of DJing via Traktor's intuitive interface. In the second and third installments of this video series focusing on our Digital DJing program, Dubspot Instructor, course designer, and 2x DMC Champ DJ Shiftee breaks down the techniques and talks about how he utilized Native Instruments' Traktor Kontrol S4 to achieve the live performance routine in the first video. In the second video, Shiftee explains how he uses the S4's Loop Recorder to record layers of sounds (in this example, multiple takes of his own voice) and build unique loop combinations and compose live remixes on the fly. He uses the Dry/Wet feature to jack and forth, from his live remix to the original track. Shiftee also uses the undo/redo feature, which allows you to remove and add your latest loop layer. The bottom line, according to Shiftee is to have fun. Use the sample players in conjunction with the loop recorder to create your own drum patterns for your remixes or record your voice singing/rapping/talking over your new beats with transpose effect pitched up or down. |
