OK, this comment has enough support for me to do this. I'll look into now and will aim to do asap - will move it up the schedule.

techno would be hectic

@Rekit Ralph Seconded - would love to see Andrew mix some Acid Techno!

@@maxdee9525 i do techno on 3 decks with a sample bank. its hella fun. techno is the most fun to layer and mess about with i find, its like the base for your creativity. plus you can basically remix tracks live using loops and FX now. my GF plays piano too so going to try having her on my 4th channel live and see how that goes.

But thinking about it. This way of mixing we end up mixing alot more on the build up then on the outro. And you're an old school guy like me, mixing in the easy areas was considered kind of cheating.

i love getting some new tracks. sorting by key and just jamming, seeing what goes with what and sometimes you hit gold dust. its a great feeling isnt it? or like when 2 vocal samples just align and make a new chorus or something.

Thanks so much I really appreciate this!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you so much!!

Appreciate it! I'll try to make more mixing based videos then :)

I really appreciate this, sorry for late reply, things been crazy this year, love it!

i find ethnic type vibes work really well in that environment. you have sample banks etc to use for it? i use traktor with 3 decks and an F1 for samples and it gives so much flexibility. you can link ableton etc in with all that if producing too. i lack the production skills so i make up with samples and loops and an extra deck.

Thank you 🙌

Thanks Erik, I really appreciate this

Have fun!

Much appreciated!

Haha nothing wrong with sync, and I often use it when prepping, but I just try to ring home, people should know how to beat match so if they find themselves in a difficult position they have solid understandings of how it all works - sounds like you already have that level of understanding - great work Martin!

Much appreciated!

Thanks so much I really appreciate this!

I'm flattered thank you

🙌

and you use a book of eckart tolle😅 how amazing is that

That is awesome!

Thank you so much 😀

yeah man, reading the grooves. not as easy as now with spectrum tho as it gives you a better idea (can see synth coming etc) plus you can even see the beats.

Glad it was helpful!

i think with people using more than 2 channels a lot now crossfader kind of lost its use unless scratching. i never use mine its just there to knock and screw me up haha

Great suggestion!

Wow, thank you!

trance relies a lot on melodies. my advice would be to try and mix in key and watch your melody loops. dont clash them too much, use your EQs. echo/delay & reverb etc on the synths and stuff works really well too. trance really doesnt like being mixed as much as other stuff like techno tho as often more things going on. i like to say bring a loop with some of the next track pretty early, just to get the listener used to a hint of the next track. loops are your friends here. trance also doesnt like to be that aggressively mixed i find. its all about blending into like a seamless experience/vibe. some tracks the melodies will compliment and some sound awful. best to just try and see which go into each other. i used to DJ a lot of psychadelic trance in the 90s and that stuff was super hard to do much with. so many things going on. modern trance is much easier tho to play around with.

Thanks ✌️

Thanks so much I really appreciate this!

Is there a good club scene for quality music at Penn State? Thinking about doing my masters there but unfamiliar with the area

@@pastelle_music honestly no, not at all. There are a few spots but it’s mostly just your average college bar scene.

Sounds great Mike. Yeah I know re: best video of late, I have been playing catch up post end of year party season!!! Appreciate your support :)

@@pastelle_music come to Miami 🤙🏼

How was it?

With difficulty - educated guesses

If you want I can look into it, but it'd help if you emailed me the list of some tracks and artists that do this that you'l like to hear mixed and I can at least have a look :)

@@ClubReadyDJSchool That would be absolutely stellar! What email address can I send it to?
