Do you have any pointers on how to go about it ?
Do you use any specific software to extract the different samples ?
Pls keep in mind I have never done this before so just pointing me as as a complete beginner in the right direction to get started will be much appreciated ^^
Peace 🙂
You can actually use the caputre function on the f1 to take any loop size from the chosen deck. Then you can build from existing songs. I have a bunch like these.
Your going to want to have a plan in mind before you start adding samples. Thinking logically as to where you want similar sounds to be placed and most importantly keep it consistent. This is what I do:
First column – All my kick drums loops. I assign this colour red.
Second Column – My snares/claps/melodies loops. I assign this colour blue
Third Column – My vocals/acapellas. This is yellow
Fourth Column- One shots (any sound I find interesting that can be played for a short duration). This column is white.
So every time I load a different remix set I made they al ahve the same structure and coour so it takes alot of the guess work out of the way during a live situation.
Makes sure all the samples you use sound likey they should be used together. It really helps when they are in the same key to minimize clashing sounds.
For making sounds from scratch I have maschine so I manipulate 6gb of sounds it comes with anyway I want. I know tracktor has samples as well so you could use those and add effects to your liking.
I would check out the below two videos. I checked them out when I first got my F1 and foudn them pretty helpful

Lastly HAVE FUN! some people say its boring making the remix sets but I find its part of the fun. Making something no else has, or taking something familar and putting your own spin on it!
