How I Mix Psytrance: Full On Psytrance Mix ॐ May 2013

▼ FREE DOWNLOADS: bit.ly/psychrobatic-sets-free-...
Hi there psy lovers!
Today I'll be showing an example of how I mix psytrance. I will be mixing 10 tracks but not in the traditional linear way. Most of the time there will be 2 tracks going at the same time, coming back and forth, etc.
The advantages of this kind of mixing are:
1. Mashuping multiple tracks at the same time makes the mix more interesting and powerful.
2. You decide when to throw a break, not the track. It's kind of annoying to have a break every 3 minutes (if you're mixing one song into another linearly).
3. You can create dynamic build-ups on the fly.
4. Kind of re-editing the tracks live.
5. It's way more creative, versatile and, of course, fun.
Disadvantages?
1. Well, it takes practice =)
As I said, this is just an example of how I like to mix psytrance. The techniques are still under development and I believe they will always be evolving.
This is my answer to how, IMHO, psytrance mixing has not evolved at all compared to other electronic music genres. You can see lots of DJs doing crazy stuff in pretty any other style, but for some reason, psytrance DJs only tend to barely mix one track into the next and that's it.... which is kind of boring nowadays.
So, up to you know...
- Do you think psytrance live mixing should evolve?
- Have you noticed the difference with other genres?
- What do you think about those "live acts" where the producer just plays his album tracks from start to end?
- And just, what's your thoughts on the subject?
Thanks!
Namaste.

I appreciate anyone that can mix PsyTrance. I fell in love with it a few years back. It's strange but I'm 50, white and live in Missouri. Yep, I love Psytrance. I noticed you have Azax on this one...Awesome...My favorite band is Electric Universe. They make me happy. Thanks for the awesome mix here...Keep it up............:-)

[@McGettoXD]

thats great dude but electric universe is not a band but one DJ

[@auradjmixes4748]

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I wasn't saying I won't be uploading more sets an tutorials, just speaking my mind about the scene.

[@BappinProductions]

"psytrance DJs only tend to barely mix one track into the next and that's it.... which is kind of boring nowadays." Guilty as charged!! So glad I found these tutorials, I will definitely be coming back to these when I get my decks up and running again.

One of the most powerful sets ive heard

[@Sychro]

Thanks! Checkout my latest one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqKzfH2GfJmfeJY =)

[@djsteelivyproductions2515]

Wow i never realised i had been mixing psytrance the way you do ! I personally hate when dj's play tracks from beginning to end with little mixing, superb mix !

[@Sychro]

I do too. it's certainly boring to limit yourself to do just that.

[@KingValas]

I’m a professional psytrance DJ. I play uk psy which many people confuse with full on for their similarities and watching you is like watching a masterclass mate.

[@amindundone]

It's wonderful to see people havin tan clara.

[@Sychro]

Thanks mate. And yes, you're right. But I didn't do this trying to build a set, this was just to show that psytrance can be mashuped and mixed more creatively than what we're used to listen.

[@Ineffable_Experience]

Really nice to see you just sharing all this. Rave on! Thanks so much

[@stevenmcfetridge1675]

That was sooo sick dude! You're so talented keep it up. I got my mc3000 a few weks ago and have been teaching myself a few basics of mixing and your videos really helped me out a lot so cheers for that.

[@PereCats]

Excellent MIX. Excellent tutorial. Good job.

[@podfj]

Adding bass fader in the breakdown and tidying it up is strong =)))) In fact, no one has been using such a technique for a long time.

[@Sychro]

Yeah, when mixing full on, where there's a break every 3 minutes, you have to do something with those. Otherwise people get tired of having a break so often ;)

[@nitrousmc1992]

all i can say is your mixing is spot on, the tunes are sick and that why i subcribed!!! keep it up

[@bernardsteyn7306]

what a smashing mash up! this is definitely the way to mix psytrance, going back and forth in tracks! and so what if you sync :) leaves room for creativity!

[@smplr]

You're amazing! Awesome tips, I've learned so much from your 3 videos already.

[@shchepetov]

Very lovely job! I agree that this way of mixing is way more interesting! I got back to psy after about 10 years of other music and now enjoy it a lot while working (im research scientist). Especially your mixes get me to good mood. And btw, its funny to see yourself dancing :)

[@MittenpunKt]

Well done good sir! Looking forward to some new mixes soon!

[@Skanoh]

Good videos man ! Learnt alot over the last year just watching these videos ! Cheers man !!

[@MaelstromExceptions]

I'll be posting mine up hopefully within a week or so. I am getting better, for some reason, ever since I watched this video, I am now all mostly into mixing goa/psytrance all mashed up like this, on this video. yuppers, you get very interesting results and at times you will be surprised how well it sounds together I know I did.

[@Mistanyycguy]

Just got into mixing, trying to teach myself and having fun so far. :) Watching this makes me want to get this good haha. Very creative and energising. Dictating the flow of the vibe/audience.

[@deanwynne2888]

Brilliant, this is amazing, the tracks sound better like this. I am only just starting to mix, and this has given some great inspiration.

[@damianlobos8593]

I never comment videos. This one deserves it. Amazing.

[@MrIliasboufidis]

a) thank you for doing this and sharing, b) it would be very educational for us if you could use notifications to explain what you are doing -or at least a hint, (just an idea, because i really appreciate this and your psy mix tutorial). thanks again, i

[@Sychro]

I'll do another "How I mix" soon and I'll try to include annotations. Thanks!

waking up and the first thing i'm doing, is finding this video:D its a nice morning :b: D

[@lapzjen]

Very impressive mixing skills. Your mashups float nicely without getting too loopy or drowned in FX. You could however try to make the mix to go more progressive into full-on over the full lenght.

[@Sychro]

Thanks man! Cheers from the other side of the world (Argentina).

Que grande!! me volaste la cabeza!!

[@AizatFuhRen]

This is Superb!!!!!!!

[@Craverism]

Dope. Love it

[@Sychro]

Hey, thanks! I downloaded Raycotek mapping but modify several things. I remapped the pitchbend buttons to beatjump -32/+32, look for them in the controller manager. The freeze delay is done by mapping the "button 2" of a delay effect unit. If you have to hold it to freeze, then just switch to to Toggle mode instead of Hold. I suggest you read/watch some tutorial on Traktor controller mapping, it's hard to understand it at first. Good luck

[@arvidschiller6475]

sounds good dude !

[@Nicopinus]

Muy bueno en verdad!!! gracias!

[@SoundMediaVibes]

Amazing!

[@DroidAssembly]

wow!!! awesome mix, would love to see you play at an aussie bush doof, would be awesome to stomp to this!!!

[@MaelstromExceptions]

Hey its sorrowfulconscious21 again, so far its going prettie good, this is one good mixer, been playing around for over 4-5 hrs I believe. I found some tracks while putting them together like how you do in the beginning, I was just experimenting to see if it blends well, I found some and I was surprised how well it blends together, this certainly takes some time to get used to, Well get better overtime. Ever dj at clubs,etc?? your very good I think, you should go out and do at gigs.

[@zbeqem9507]

good work guy

[@gategamma97]

amazing dude!

[@tecnoiztapalapa1368]

Saludos desde México hasta acá se escuchan tus mezclas

[@Sychro]

Thanks man. I'm going to NZ next year, so maybe.

[@Sychro]

No, I'm not using any of the new Traktor Pro 2 Macro FX. Digital LoFi and Gater are old Traktor effects, you should have them. Try going into Preferences > Effects and see if they are in the list of "Pre-Selected Effects". If not, add them from the Available Effects list aside.

[@OliverXJP]

I love this style of psytrance!!!!! I call FullOn Hi-Tech.. do you agree?

[@carlosbayona3723]

Que buen mix hombre ! , tengo el mismo controlador y me parece genial aguanta todo , comparto mucho la idea de hacer en las mezclas algo nuevo y no un tema tras de otro sin nada interesante de por medio que muchas veces en trance se entra en ese juego . He estado viendo a Jordan Suckley y me inspira ya que sus mezclas son muy dinamicas!

[@Sychro]

Thanks! Which style do you like?

[@Hooraciox]

I was trying to figure out how to mix psytrance in a good way. Thanks to that video and your guide now I at least now 'something' (need time to process it nad fully understand it). Although the problem for me is the lack of mixer and it's kind hard to mix tracks on traktor without it (I'm a beginner so I just mix tracks in linear way). Still I haven't seen that kind of mixing anywhere and I hope that it will occur more often. Subded and waiting for more psytrance mixes :D

[@Irene211084]

That is so cool friend, really good stuff. I hope your good xX

[@hannespi2886]

16:20 Great use of technique

[@JoozyJigz]

Awesome act! Man, you're really talent in psy-djing. Respect from russian trancers)

[@feuquegougueul1592]

thx for sharing!

[@Insonia420]

amazing

[@minimamusik]

Que buen video te rifaste hermano, saludos!!!!

[@Sychro]

I'm not sure exactly but yes, a couple of months, practicing almost every day. Just go with it and enjoy it =)

[@ffob9311]

nice mashup, glad u put some portuguese power, D_Maniac! congrats

[@Sychro]

I recorded the screen with Screenflow (Mac), recorded the set with Traktor's recorder and, of course, recorded my controller. Then you need to know a little bit about video editing and put everything together. I'm no expert, but I googled how to overlay a video on top of another.

[@macramole]

sick dude, you really tame that shit, very good timing and harmonic coherence maybe a little too perfect for me tho, like to hear the human behind those knobs : D thanks for sharing !

[@Sychro]

Thanks mate!

[@ziegler8033]

Holy fuck, I can't believe this. Amazing.

[@Sychro]

Thanks mate! I'm planning on doing another one when I get some free time. Stay tuned ;)

[@jaggerpot]

wow... sick dude! timing was brutal, how do you do it without cues?

[@FilipCool911]

I can tell you immediately that you know what's going on on that mixer to 125%! You're amazing dude, one thing I've noticed is how you jump back and forth in the track by just pressing a single button. I've got the same controller with Raycoteks 4 Full Deck mapping, and I can't find the shortcuts for beatjumping. Neither can I find the instructions how to "lock on" the freeze delay effect so you wont have a hard time holding down the freeze delay button meanwhile doing other stuff.

[@jaraluca]

great man

[@jameskmb]

i do alot of 2 tracks mixing in psy and prog but i do it very different to you i love how u fade then bass up on secondary track then drop back into primary. when playing 2 tracks together i am always very conscious of the otherwise it sounds abit off do you consider this?. but anyway i have been waiting to see an actual video of someone DJ'ing psy as apose to just a mix with some picture. you could be the psychedelic ravine! so keep it up ive subbed =)

[@Sychro]

Yes, it's a modified version of Raycotek's mapping.

[@johndoe-px4dm]

proper mixing not touching em thangs just for the show ✊️

[@zebulon303]

I think I understand now why I need a midi controller :-) Very inspirational, thank you

[@eparizzi]

Yeah, exactly. I just don't understand how some djs use Traktor with only a mouse and an external mixer. It's not enough.

[@Sychro]

[@MaelstromExceptions]

When you get a chance, upload some of your work, I'll upload mine when the time is right, I am still all very new to mixing, I was big into producing back then, don't have the patience for it, I might do it here and there but mostly all mixing for now. Also BTW: Artha - Insidelamp FTW

[@asd45043]

This 6:38 transition , you really know your shit ! Sound awesome.
