8.3 Recording samples
The title that is monitored serves for recording a sample. Thus, during a live mix, you can play a title on the
other deck and monitor the sampler operation via headphones without the audience listening in.
• The sampler mode is not controlled by the controller but with the mouse.
• With Virtual DJ LE, recorded samples are only available for the duration of a session.

Enter the sampler mode in Virtual DJ by clicking on the [
SAMPLER
] tab
in the center section.

Start playing the title and click [
REC
] at the appropriate time to begin
recording the sample. The field is highlighted in red.

If the title is in a loop, the loop is captured as the sample when clicking
[
REC
] (without red indication). Otherwise, click
[
REC
] a second
time to stop the recording. The red indication extinguishes.

You can set the volume of the sampled with the corresponding volume
fader.

To check the sample afterwards, click [
PLAY
]. The field's color changes
into green and you see the playback bar below fill gradually.
6
By clicking [ ] you can select if the sample is played once or as a
continuous loop. In loop mode, the two arrows below adjust the sample
length by half length or double length increments respectively.
7
To delete the sample and start recording a new one, click
[
REC
]
again.

The sample is stored on a fixed memory location for the duration of a
session and can be selected and played with the controller just like the
preset samples.

For each sample cell, there is an sample options menu available by
clicking the selector button [ ].
