This is a simple and fun routine that has been effective at my shows. It’s meant to illustrate a straightforward and accessible way to use the Remix Decks in Traktor. Plus, Old Man Shiftee finally gets some shine after all these years searching for the perfect soup. -Shiftee
The track used in this video is 040 (Swindle & Joker) – Let It Be Known, Out Now On Butterz Records.
DJing with Traktor Program
The definition of DJing has changed dramatically in the last decade. Laptops, controllers, and software have emerged alongside traditional turntables and CDJs, smashing the barrier to entry. In today’s digital age, anyone can become a DJ. To reflect this renaissance, Dubspot has created the DJing with Traktor Program. In both our physical and online schools, students will learn how to DJ entirely with Traktor’s cutting-edge technology. An emphasis will be placed on the concepts of DJing rather than simply learning how to use the software.
