My new set up S4 & F1, Apple Mac Retina. Posted on: 25.03.2013 by Mirian Gaura Very pleased with my new set up. Only had it for about 3/4 weeks (as of 25/3/13) and only spent two evening mixing due to time but it has a lot of creative potential and the F1 is a lovely additional extra.I produce a little bit of music in Ableton and Logic so my intention is to export songs as stems and loops and perform them live using the F1. If I really get into it then I might buy another F1 for complete control. I was believeing of getting a second hand an Pioneer EFX 1000 or Korg quad pad for additional fun but for now I am going to hold off and jus enjoy what I've got. Any question, ask away!

| Mirian Gaura 29.03.2013 | Yeah I can take some screenshots. I've been running 2880 for a while but I change it depending on what I'm doing. |
| Basil Forshee 28.03.2013 | Are you running its native resolution (2880x1800) or a scaled one? Can you take a snapshot of 4 decks in full size on 1920x1200? I'm curious how that looks on the Retina Mac. |
| Delfina Suedmeyer 27.03.2013 | it was just a little tease guys. sorry. |
| Jeannine Drobney 26.03.2013 | I run an s4 and an f1. I do love the combo. Plus NI gives you so much great free content with the remix decks from their website that its easy to let remixes fly. I personally love recording each cell on the F1 on the fly and getting some way interesting results, especially with phrasing. Sync button is only as good as your gridding |
| Mirian Gaura 26.03.2013 | Thanks Sam. I can see a few methods of using the F1.. 1) Grab live loops and improvise on the fly in conjunction with the 5th deck of traktor. 2) Use it for pre-made samples, one shots, acapellas and general mix mash of everything. 3) Prepare a track and perform it back live (a little bit like Ableton) Ive made a full page of beats and simple loops in Ableton. Next I am going to make simple percussion then bass then lead lines giving me 4 banks (or strips) in the remix deck. Then I will just experiment and see what works through trial and error. I know its not everyones way of working but its a quick, easy and exciting of finding elements of a composition that work well. I have signed up to http://www.remixdeckset.com/ so I will be adding my stuff there in a week or two... hopefully! |
| Neil Daavettila 26.03.2013 | Nice setup, glad you found an F1 and let me know how you get on with creating your own remix sets. Been trying myself, but going slowly at the minute. |

| Lanelle Panarella 25.03.2013 | Nice setup! Nothing wrong with having sync on at all, some dj's like rather spend time being creative and not just beat matching. |
