Loading Samples in S4
Loading Samples in S4 Posted on: 11.04.2012 by Carie Powlison I just got the s4 and i'm loving it. only thing i'm curious about is how to load samples that you've previously made. What i mean by that is, when you load in a song and make a sample for it, then go back another day load in the same song, how do i get those old samples back in? i know that all samples i make are saved as wav. files but i was hoping there would be a way to assign them to the track they came from so whenever i bring up that track the samples are loaded in as well. is this possible? | |

| Shantell Sommese 22.04.2012 | You still have to go fishing for the samples in the All Samples playlist, but you can put them into a new playlist, and load them with the sample buttons, so the pieces are all sort of there for some sort of batch load. The problem you run into is that when you overload one button in the mapping to do a bunch of things, they all happen at the same time. If there were a way to make Traktor do them sequentially, then you could pick a playlist, and have it load #1 into slot #1 and so on. The thing I wish we had was some way to easily rename samples you've cut from the sample slots themselves, by right clicking or something. then finding where the system saved them wouldn't be such a pain. In short, I don't have a real good answer to your question. I hope my rambling was somewhat helpful. |
| Arlinda Finazzo 22.04.2012 | Really looking forward to that feature in 2.5... one main reasons that I rarely use the sample banks, is because you can't have preset banks that you can quickly load or switch between. |
| Joesph Kasian 22.04.2012 | Don't you just make the sample, then drag them manually into the sample slots? I believe as Van Gogo stated it isn't possible to 'automatically' do it with current version. |
| Shantell Sommese 19.04.2012 | Like VanGogo said. I spent some time messing around with a batch load sample mapping, but the closest i could come was loading sequentially from a playlist with a button press for each slot. It never worked very reliably either. |
| Charline Dye 12.04.2012 | Not possible. When 2.5 comes out you will be able to load a group of samples saved together, but not with a track. |
