Hi, I just joined DJTechTools and am a budding DJ who is familiarizing himself with his new Kontrol S2 and Traktor. I started with a Numark Mixtrack and VDJ and am now working on getting gigs and performing.
Here's my question. Traktor allows for the manipulation of songs in a lot of different ways, filters and looping readily come to mind. However, as a DJ with no real signature style, I'm having trouble know when/how to use all of these tools. I feel like a lot of it depends on the song and what kind of set I'm playing, I understand that, but is there any hard and fast "rules" or even suggestions as to how to go about using different parts of Traktor?
I find myself using filters for a whole song, and then doing looping on a another, and then I run two songs simulatenously and mix them together. I can't seem to do all of this at once. Will it come with time, or is it best that each of these techniques remain separate of each other?
Any feedback would be great.
