All he can do is put an effect over the top of the track, and instead of grabbing a loop to mix with the track to add intensity say, he can only turn the actual track into a loop.
Hmm can't he just load a loop into one of the 4 decks then? Or did I misunderstand your post.. :P

What I gather from all this is that there's just a whole lot of magic going on.

um, you have a total of 6 channels on a zone 92... not 4. you have to aux tracks - effects work there too.

I'm pretty sure - this whole story would be even more effective with ableton live. This is simply marketing tool for traktor and a&h. You can easily score the same effects with some other setup or am I wrong ?

I think that defeats the point of digital djing. There are many tools outthere that can achieve similar results but this is Richies setup using Traktor.

Quite innovative IMO. Coming from vinyl djing, it actually made me look at digital djing in with more open eyes.

Of course its a marketing tool for Traktor, he is a spokesman for their product. It's no different then Tiger Woods and Nike.

Currently at Serato/vinyl controlled, I find this interesting too, and convinced me that this/something like this, surely is the future and maybe not as far away as I previous thought it would be.

seeing 4 waveforms at once must be handy. browsing is also probably a bit nicer than with ableton
