It has all the essential functions you need to launch and manipulate clips without becoming another crowded, button filled Midi device, plus it works straight out of the box. Personally, I think the best way to control Remix Decks is with the use of Native Instruments’ very own Traktor Kontrol F1. Hooking up your Traktor Kontrol F1 Connect your Traktor Kontrol F1 controller to your laptop via the included USB cable, no extra power adapters necessary! This is where you can load individual audio loops, samples, and one-shots from your collection, and this is also where all the audio files in a ready-made Remix Set go. Done! You’ll know you’ve switched a normal track deck into a Remix Deck once you see four columns with empty cells.

To do this, you click on the track deck name and choose “Remix Deck” from the drop down list. You’ll know you’ve properly enabled a Remix Deck when you see the normal track deck turn into a grid with four empty columns and rows.Įnabling them is simple: It’s just a matter of changing the track deck. As long as you’ve updated to the latest version (Traktor 2.6.8), you shouldn’t have a problem, and even though you have an older installation of Traktor, Remix Decks have been a part of it since version 2.5.
