I’m assuming many of you, like me, barely ever touched the sampler outside of playing with it at home. Some might be using them with loops and sounds, but others are more likely to only use the sampler to fire off name drops. If you’re performing with a DAW like Ableton Live, then you have even more options at your fingertips. Some of you are already using your samplers. It doesn’t matter if you use Traktor, Serato, Virtual DJ, Mixxx, or even are still on Torq or an older version of Deckadance samplers are now standard in almost any DJ software you pick up. We’re going to start things off with software and finding sounds to use. Today’s article is the first of a three-part series where we’ll get you started and explore the world of basic controllerism, and give you some ideas on how to bring these techniques back into the basic DJ set. Another is the newer methodology of fired samples, loops, and chopped up pieces of music – a major element of what is often called “controllerism”. Some of you are already taking on this idea in our new Scratching For Controller DJs course – but this is just one way of making your DJing stand out. To make an attempt to go beyond our normal realms of DJing and just try to “take it to the next level”. This series will introduce you to these controllerism techniques.īack in January, we made the New Year’s resolution to learn something new. Shiftee is a famous exponent of using controllerism alongside turntablism to really push boundaries… and you can tap into hot cues and samples too to spice up your DJ sets.
