Mixing with more than 2 decks

[B33SON]

Oh. Okay.

But that's sort of a strange question then. Sometimes you mix into a new track that's on Deck C/D, sometimes you loop a nice bassline or drumbeat. Sometimes you use it to add an acappella. Sometimes you use it for staging your next mixout in case you want to burn through tracks really quickly. Sometimes you use it for a phase shift effect. In Traktor Pro, I've started to use it to scratch... try applying the gater effect while scratching.

I agree with you B33SON.

I use the fourth deck in a similar way as you do.

My advice for putting this into practice is first make sure you know your workflow and get comfortable with 3 decks. After that you will just fell the need for a fourth one. You will know that you could add something else or use it to enhance your trasitions. You will know that you are ready to step up the game, just as now you know you need a 3rd deck.

Recently i have been experiementing with using 2 decks ontop of Ableton live looping a kind of 4 deck control - yeilds some pretty interesting results. Should be really awesome once its finished development.

God I hope you can get this. I just couldn't get the thing to stay on phase sync'd. I should try with the new version of Ableton.

I have got this

Throwing the midi clock out the window is a great first start to keeping Ableton and Traktor in time !

If you want to do tempo changes ontop of that... i have recently discovered a trick that keeps Traktor and Ableton in time when doing tempo changes much better than the midi clock ever could too.

Lol. Word.

I'm looking forward to see what you came up with.
