I have been learning Traktor using an S2 and a Kontrol F1 and have a good grasp of both of these.
Now I want to branch out to use CDJ (I will probably maintain the Traktor skills but want to be flexible to do my gig on either) kit.
I love using my Kontrol F1 to push out samples at the touch of a button/pad (spoken words, noises, special effects) and get cool sounds looping (drums or sounds) over the other decks (A&B).
What is the equivalent in the CDJ world?
I would love to build my current Traktor set on the CDJ ... but I have some cool sounds and loops that I would like to throw into the mix on the CDJ (like the Remix Decks) but they are only used in the mix for a few seconds (so not worth getting another CDJ just for this) but don't know how to (my only idea is to have my laptop nearby running Traktor and use it as an input to the mixer - but this seems clumsy and I want to do away with the laptop and move to CDJ and USB. I know that you can use the HiD to connect Traktor but I would like to be able to do a gig JUST using CDJ and DJM.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Traktor but my local club has CDJ2000Nexus decks and DJM900Nexus Mixer so I want to make things easy for myself and just take a USB to the gig.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
