So, does anyone who doesn't have a kontrol S4 even use them? I'm really having a hard time justifying them...
My previous method of using one-shots and vocal samples was to just put them into tracks, and use cue points to juggle around inside them.
there aren't any cue points with sample decks, so I'm having to chop up my samples with a wav editor just to use them...
There's the "copy from deck", but that is quantized, doesn't work with vocal samples. I'm finding it easier and more effective to continue using standard decks.
I can understand swapping in and out loops, but it just doesn't seem like an efficient system for one-shots at all...especially when you're not on a S4 anddon't have dedicated controls for them.
I spin a lot of DnB and dubstep, which don't lend themselves to swapping in and out loops nearly as well as some other styles, in my opinion. So I really can't think of an excuse to use sample decks, but I feel like I sohuld be able to put them to use.
Thoughts? What do you guys use them for?
