Do you use Decks C&D at all?

Personally I don't use them at all. What's your take on them?

out of more curiousity, what kinds of samples and loops are you guys using, and with what styles of music?

call me old fashioned but i still do a lot of just a to b mixing, but im also playing fairly musically complex stuff like electro and progressive house, that would be totally ruined by putting fatman scoop over it....

i could see if someone was running just straight techno or pretty minimal tech house stuff that 3 decks might work...

just curious to hear/see some examples of how youre using more than 2 decks. links please?

Use Ch D for a mic at my student gigs. Dont use the Loop Recorder at all at these gigs so ive mapped those buttons for other uses.
One is used as a Mic Talk Over button, its simply mapped to Hi,Mid,Lo EQ Kill so i can talk and cut the music with a button.
Mapped the Loop Recorder knob to the headphones so i dont have to piss about with the little one on the front.

Ch C i use for samples.

I don't have an S4 anymore, but I still use C&D pretty much exclusively for sample decks.

or S2 + X1 ?

i kinda prefer the S2 layout, smaller and less cluttered, plus i wont have to confuse myself with the A/C /B/D layering

Same set up as Van Gogo. C for Sample & Loops, D for Mic. i'll also use C as live if I'm working with another DJ and we are running my speakers. this way my S4 becomes a simple mixer with my added effects.

Uh sample decks?


Joking sort of. Percussion samples and loops, a place for my loop recorder loops (see blog) on deck C, Deck D for mic input with Fx and yes samples (as I have buttons mapped on another controller to change deck D between sample track or live), and a way to keep a song going while you load a different song in the deck by copying a loop to a sample slot.
