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............:-)

"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.

@Sychro 11 лет назад

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.

@djsteelivyproductions2515 7 лет назад

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 5 лет назад

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

@podfj 5 лет назад

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 5 лет назад

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 ;)

@KingValas 8 месяцев назад

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.

@MaelstromExceptions 11 лет назад

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.

@Sychro 11 лет назад

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.

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.

@nathannewbery2608 7 лет назад

Behringer 4 channel and vestax cd j. I think it was the 2nd vestax cd mixer. We used to leave the vestax slider in the middle (and use it to break/load) and plug the behringer into the 2 cd top load drawers of the vestax. The other 2 were open to sampling via other auxiliaries mini disks were the rage back then hahahaha or another mixer at parties. Djs will become like classic music composers on stage with one or two of those little sticks for high and melody, hips for middle and feet for bass programmed into a feed of your choosing (ie dance moves/and composing = Mix) Fuck yeah 💃

@bernardsteyn7306 8 лет назад

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!

@chacalmexico 11 лет назад

No, thank you. I've always wanted to be a DJ but that boat has long sailed hahaha. These videos are well put together. Keep it up

@Sychro 11 лет назад

Glad to hear that! Let me know when you have something to listen to.

@Sychro 11 лет назад

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.

@ewanmclaughlin6534 10 лет назад

Great mix, I am looking into starting mixing psytrance after failing to produce it ;) Though I totaly agree far to many producers just play their album start to end with little mixing at all, however mixing like this is so much more dynamic and I dont have to sit around waiting for breaks to end, which is fine when casualy listening but not live :D

@Sychro 10 лет назад

Bands don't play the album from start to end in a show, they always do something new, different, in another order. So why is that psytrance producers can't do the same if they have even more tools to do it? Lots of great ways to do REAL live acts when you are a producer (you have the stems of the tracks, you can mix them, re-arrange them, etc). They are just being too lazy... I do more stuff live than those called "live acts" and it shouldn't be that way... I hope someday that'll change, but unless people start demanding real live acts (which is what they pay for) instead of boring premixed sets, nothing will ever change.

@ewanmclaughlin6534 10 лет назад

You should push the scene and try and get a set at a psytrance festival maybe? I would pay lots after hearing your mixes and seeing what you do live here, I remember seeing a zentura set online and despite being two of them, they still seemed to only mix out the end of each track rather than how you do it. Oh and what software and controller could you recomend me to take this up?

@Sychro 10 лет назад

Ewan Mclaughlin Thank you Ewan, I really appreciate someone notices my effort in doing this. Regarding in playing in a festival, it's definitely on my plan, problem is I live in Argentina, where the psy scene is really small, there are no big festivals really. I'm planning to move to Europe, hopefully in 1 o 2 years. Once there we I know I can get gigs anywhere. Where are you from btw? The software is the well known Traktor Pro 2 and the controller is a Denon MC3000, but it could be done with any other software and controller. I had awesome results with both.

@ewanmclaughlin6534 10 лет назад

Yeah ok, cheers, I will have a look online and get some stuff :D I am planning on playing sets at freind's house parties in an effort to convert them to psytrance, so would you recomend getting a decent audio system to use there? I live in Britain, where like where you live the trance/ psytrance scene is almost non existant. But mainland europe is where its at, you've got Ozora, Boom and many other festivals. You should definataly move over to europe, I've heard that the psy scene in North East Europe and Switzerland is commonly appreciated. Where are you planning to move?

@Sychro 10 лет назад

Definitely, psytrance is only appreciated with a good audio system ;) Yeah, I know about those festivals and how the scene is in most european countries. Right now the plan is to go to Portugal (which has a huge full-on scene),

@rohitvijayapuram123 5 лет назад

Your are amazing brother. Love you.

@Sychro 11 лет назад

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

@Sychro 11 лет назад

Yeah, it takes time. But at some point you'll be listening to one track and you'll know in your head which tracks could be mixed in. Pay especial attention to the basslines. Just keep practicing and enjoy it!

@Sychro 11 лет назад

Yes, the progressive set I have in my channel is done this way, layering 2 tracks most of the time. And because they have less elements than full on it's easier to get a good sound with 2 tracks. Only problem is... I don't like prog very much. In fact, I hate how everything is turning proggy =P

@MaelstromExceptions 11 лет назад

I found some cue delays,bad detection problems,etc, Finally found the culprit, If you press the sync button and start messing with the cue button, seems like theres a bug between the mc3000 and the traktor pro 2 program, setting up cue's is not very accurate, pressing cue button at times doesnt do anything, sometimes some delays,etc, but soon as I take he sync button off, PERFECT!!. I rather have the sync button on as if you hit the tempo control, it wont do anything, its locked.

@MittenpunKt 11 лет назад

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

@Sychro 11 лет назад

Yes, key is one of the most important aspects while mixing psy for me. So of course I consider it. I don't like how swapping between completely different and harmonically imcompatible basses sound. Haha, being the "psychedelic ravine" would be awesome, need a lot more of subcribers for that =P

@Mistanyycguy 4 года назад

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.

@Sychro 11 лет назад

Both are great controllers, but I prefer the Denon because the S2 doesn't have dedicated filter knobs. It's a matter of personal preference.

@FilipCool911 11 лет назад

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.

@Sychro 11 лет назад

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.

@mickgatz214 7 лет назад

thanx for sharin' the new age of musik!!!!!! Greetz from Austrailia!!!!!! (KEEP UP THE MIXES)

@Sychro 11 лет назад

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

@ChocPretz 11 лет назад

Are you using a custom mapping? I see you're using the pitch bend (-) button to jump back 8 bars.

@deanwynne2888 8 лет назад

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

@Sychro 11 лет назад

Thanks. Not as much as you'd think. You have to know the songs, yes. But you don't have to know them from start to end in your head, you help yourself by looking at the waveforms. If you do the right homework, then you can choose tracks you know go well together. That's not a lot of preparation, that just the preparation a DJ needs to do. I mean, you can't mix smoothly bananas with potatoes ;)

@Sychro 11 лет назад

I can't help you with that. Just start by mixing what you like, experimenting and just enjoying. This isn't a channel about how to learn to mix. This is just some ideas about psytrance mixing (but you should know the basics already). I can recommend you the following sites. digitaldjtips and djtechtools (google them) - Good luck!

@Sychro 11 лет назад

There are parts that sounds overloaded, yes, I give you that, but there are parts that both tracks sound great together. This is not a set that I'd play for an actual crowd, this is just a show off of mixing techniques, trying to show that psy can also be creatively mixed, that you can do more than the plain old intro/outro mix. But yes, it's exaggerated to show the point and some parts doesn't sound good. Check out my latest set "Xtreme Dementia" and let me know if you can enjoy it =)

Dude I agree pretty much all the way. I was mixing 2 trax in this manner in the late 90s with a behringher 4 channel T, M, B, which didnt go all the way either lol. There was and is an art. I know a couple guys who have produced and played all over the world mixing 4 trax back in the forests of Bonalbo, NNSW, Australia represent. Had to beatmatch then too the stuff now is awesome. Would you reccommend any gear my friend. My aim is to get into producing via mixing and playing live. That way I can have loads of fun whilst learning whats going on, on that side of things. Its been about 15yrs or so....I became a tradesman and learnt the universal lesson the long way brother and want to come home 😃 Where are you from mate I know some guys you would be very interested in listening too. Have a listen to Strange Planet. Also I think there is an attitude towards minimal breaks and bass movements with what I have respect for....Entrancing. My aim is to be physchedelic melodic goose bump hard style minimal if that makes sense. I suppose though it depends on the situation and the vibe of the party. I know I would be more inclined in a bush or nature party not to break too hard where as in a club environment that may change and become bit funky, etc. But yeah bro I agree, its more fun too. If you could suggest some start up gear that would be awesome? ❤💃👆✌

@Sychro 11 лет назад

Sync and key lock are very different features. I use sync because it does the mechanic job, which saves me time and allows me to do these kind of mixing. And I don't use key lock because it degrades the sound, check this video /watch?v=jM64W96xqP0

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.

@Hooraciox 11 лет назад

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

@TheoToYou 8 лет назад

Thanks for the reply, I think im gonna go with the s4 for all the great optios it offers, what do you think?

@francoisgermain5580 10 лет назад

Very nice mix bro! This is definitely how mixing psy should be done with 2 tracks. Now to elevate this, buy a pioneer 4 tracks mixer and play with more layers!!! :) :)

@Sychro 10 лет назад

Thanks, that's what I think too. I already tried adding more layers, but since I like to mix high power full-on, more than 2 tracks end up sounding like a mess. Maybe with a more trippy psytrance or progre-psy could be done, where there is more space in the frequency spectrum.

@francoisgermain5580 10 лет назад

Psychrobatic Yeah man, I'm not proposing to add more layer at the same time at all but to use 4 tracks instead of 2 to compose your mashups. Anyway, don't stop, you're good! :) Do you DJ in partys?

@Sychro 10 лет назад

But what's the purpose of using 4 tracks if only 2 are going to be used at the same time? That can be done with 2 tracks =P Yes, I do, but only in Argentina for the moment. Hopefully next year I'll move on to Europe and get some really great gigs =)
