I use Rekordbox 7.08, downloaded tracks, and horizontal waveforms, but the "tools" displayed here in the middle (scissors, zoom in/out, etc) don't show. How should I do to have them?
Okay I have worked this out- it’s slightly different to rekordbox 6. Once you have found the loop you want to sample- there is a menu on the top of the waveform. By default this shows a + and - but use the arrows to navigate across to find the little scissors
@@djkarlthomas Thank you ! 🫶 I'll try asap 😊 EDIT: I found it and it works, awesome! 😃 (The "tool" menu appeared pressing the little arrow on the far left of the screen with the horizontal waveform)
Hey I have a quick question regarding the banks in which the samples get saved for my DDJ 400 it only gets loaded too the left hand side is it possible too load saved sample banks on the right hand side?
@djkarlthomas No, sorry it's just because it flahes up when your hover over the samples (the information). I was just wondering what slicer was really!
Karl, Does the BPM of the sample stay the same as when you took it? Or does it play to the same BPM as the track loaded into that deck? E.g. if the sample is at 125 and the loaded track is 130, will the sample play at 125 or 130?
Have you downloaded the tracks or are you using a streaming service? This will only work for tracks you own and where the files have been downloaded onto your laptop
how can I change the sampler default folder path in my MacBook? the rekordbox folder is automatically set to my music folder and ive managed to move the recordings folder to another directory but the samples is still stuck there (I don't use samples at all) and each time I delete it it comes back when I start rekordbox. how can I fix this? thanks :)
@@djkarlthomas I have the same problem as the original commenter. I don’t see the scissors icon at all. I am on the most recent update of rejordbox and I have all my tracks downloaded to my computer hardrive.
Are the samples saved? Where can I find them? Say if I make 20 samples this way and want to choose. Also can you save samples with stems? Example if you mute vocal and instrument and want to sample the beats. I've tried but didn't figure out how to do that.😊
In order to trigger that hotcue loop you would have to have the track loaded into one of the decks. With the sampler you can have whatever tracks you want on the decks and trigger that sample at any point
Good video I can’t wait to get the DDJ FLX2
Big thanks for this! Quick, simple, straight to the point :)
Thanks for watching and glad it was useful!
Been using rekordbox for years now and never knew this lol thank you! 🙏🏽
Always something new to learn!
Super. Thanks for this :)
Great vid - brief, clear …..& informative …… many thx
Glad it was useful! Thank you for watching
Super useful, cheers !
Wow, i like this. You can make your Flx4 like a 4 Chanel mixer with samples from songs ready to go beforehand.
Your videos are extremely helpful, thank you!
Thank you for watching and the kind words!
About to do this. Remixes about to be a little sicker
Nice! Have fun with it
@@djkarlthomas thank you will do
Great video 👍
Kan you do this in combination with stems, so that you only get the vocals and no instrumentals in the background?
Unfortunately not when you capture the sample it doesn’t copy your stems settings
You are a great teacher
Thank you for the kind words! Glad it’s been useful
Awesome thank you 🙏
Glad it was useful!
So helpful! 👍🏽
Glad it was. Thank you for watching

I made this tutorial in rekordbox 6. Will have a look into rekordbox 7 and get back to you

Should be okay to load to the right had deck but let me check and come back to you
How do you get your wave form in the middle of the screen like that in Rekordbox
Top left- should be a drop down list with different view options!
great video!! what's the slicer mode?
Don’t recall mentioning a slicer mode in this video?
@djkarlthomas No, sorry it's just because it flahes up when your hover over the samples (the information). I was just wondering what slicer was really!
@danielgwillym9339 oh right! I’ll need to check that out myself as I’m not sure haha!
Can your newly created sample be saved to a folder? (great vidoes btw)
Yes should be able to do this
Karl, Does the BPM of the sample stay the same as when you took it? Or does it play to the same BPM as the track loaded into that deck? E.g. if the sample is at 125 and the loaded track is 130, will the sample play at 125 or 130?
It will use the original bpm so something to bear in mind! Good call out!
are you able to do this in the free version of rekordbox?
Yep I have never paid for rekordbox!
Sweet! I don’t see an option for the scissors for some reason, what could I be doing wrong?
Have you downloaded the tracks or are you using a streaming service? This will only work for tracks you own and where the files have been downloaded onto your laptop
@@djkarlthomas gotcha!! So helpful! Thank you :)
Thanks a lot

hey thank u so much but i cant see the scissors icon near my track, how can i get that please?
Have you downloaded the track or are you streaming?
@djkarlthomas download

:3 cool djdude
Thank you for watching!
sill learning :3 great to got u
This won’t work with Streaming tracks though. Also this would be dope to do with stems💪🏽
Thank you for the insight! I did think there may be an issue with streaming tracks!
Are the samples saved? Where can I find them? Say if I make 20 samples this way and want to choose.
Also can you save samples with stems? Example if you mute vocal and instrument and want to sample the beats. I've tried but didn't figure out how to do that.😊
I drag the cut track to the sampler panel. But it doesn’t load track into the panel. How should I do?
Are you using streaming tracks or proper downloads? This will only work with downloaded files.
What's the advantage of using the sampler vs just having a hotcue loop set up?
In order to trigger that hotcue loop you would have to have the track loaded into one of the decks. With the sampler you can have whatever tracks you want on the decks and trigger that sample at any point
@@djkarlthomas Ah that makes sense, thanks!
Does the sampler track need to be loaded every time or is it in memory in the Rekordbox?
It’s saved in memory
but can the samples be trimmed ?
They are your own samples so can be any length you want them to be
@djkarlthomas yes but only per beats , the sample i want has some trimming needed before and after the selection I was able to cut
@djkarlthomas hard to explain lol but thanks anyway 🙂
@@anthonyowens8416 try without quantize switched on
mine goes blue but wont load in the sampler
Are you using a streaming service?
@djkarlthomas It's ok thank you my friend once I plugged controller in it worked just wouldn't work without the controller
