As soon as I get rid of this lovely cold (mixing splits my head), I'll record and post up a drum n bass mix too.

Jerky Beef Kong posted:Please add tracklist soon - I need some of these songs now. Is there no mixer in that setup? I added what I could figure out yesterday while at work. Will have to fill in the blanks by going back through my traktor playlist at home. There is a mixer (a DJM-800) in that setup, between the turntables, you just can't see it from that angle. It's directly underneath where my laptop is God drat I have long skinny fingers

I love that track Peep Thong. Bought it a while back. My favorite part is how they literally wrote a measure of music and then used effects on it for four minutes with the occasional addition of disco strings. Its so drat easy to mix!

Yeah, His Majesty Andre never does anything interesting with his production, but he always has a great loop going He has another one called NRG 555 (I think) that's killer Altoidss fucked around with this message at 23:10 on May 7, 2009 |

Shoodz, your mix got pretty weak when you tried to mix in that pirates of the caribbean track too early. You shouldn't have mixed it in until the drop, the intro is really underwhelming especially coming from peep thong, which bangs pretty hard. All in all I really like the mix though.

Yeah I noticed that after hearing it again and you are completely right. The pirates track is, as far as I can hear, not beatmixable in it's intro so you have to either cut it there or mix it in before. It's a shame because, gimmicky as it is, it's quite a nice floor banger. Thanks for the response!

Alright, been tossing around the idea of actually putting something on here, decided I finally am. If you want to add me to the list: PsysiX - NW Ohio (Toledo and Bowling Green area)- Electro/Fidget House and Dark Psytrance - http://www.myspace.com/djpsysix Yea, it's an odd combination. I started with darkpsy and eventually tried doing fidget house on a whim and enjoyed it, so I do both now. I'll have an electro set up here in a couple hours (getting it ready for upload) and a drkpsy one in a couple days. EDIT: Alright, electro mix uploaded! http://soundcloud.com/djpsysix/electrix-1 May take a bit to load, it's FLAC. Feel free to download and share as well, just give credit to me and those who produced the tracks blah blah. setlist posted:Hardrox - Feel the Hard Rock (Up to no Good)(Heiko and Maiko Mix) EDIT 2: Darkpsy set up: http://soundcloud.com/djpsysix/audio-cide-2 setlist posted:Para Halu - Domination (Through Controlled Minds) SixOhSix fucked around with this message at 21:51 on May 10, 2009 |

I'm not good at explaining effects, so just experiment and you'll figure out something good

If anything, it makes for an absolute dire trainwreck emergency move, so you can attempt to play it off as "yea, I meant to do that." The best method of action is to rehearse the set lineup to ensure that such a situation is not needed. A well constructed set won't need any sound collage because the tracks will flow off each other. What helps even more, is if you have the time, rehearse mixing your tracks independently off each other. This will help give you a feel of what in your set compliments certain tracks well, and will also help build an ear for knowing what will work just by knowing the structure of the tracks in your library.

This will help give you a feel of what in your set compliments certain tracks well, and will also help build an ear for knowing what will work just by knowing the structure of the tracks in your library. I agree on the effects. FX should never be used to cover-up transitions. I'd much rather hear some off-beats or a track simply drop out than hearing a DJ blasting tons of FX al off a sudden. That'll definitely get your crowd looking at you in a bad way. I resent structuring a set beforehand though. Two main reasons: 1) it makes you completely unable to respond to the crowd and more often than not things you thought sounded great at home will sound only mediocre in a club, track and transitionwise. You can never really anticipate your crowd that well. 2) And maybe even more important, it makes DJ-ing extremely boring. What's the fun in simply repeating a process you've 100% thought up at home when playing in a club? "1:43 minutes untill I start in "random track", then I transition after 33 seconds and then I fade the other track out around 2:54." Making a pie-chart on the how and why of female caterpillar feeding patterns sounds like more fun to me. The second part of your advice is very solid though and basically the exact opposite of structuring a set. Get to know your tracks, get a feel for them and soon enough you'll start to realize certain tracks might fit well together. Once you do DJ-ing becomes so much more fun and you'll never ever want to structure a set again. That way you also play a different set each time you perform, even though at least 50% of the tracks might be the same.

I get what you are saying, but at the same time I really can't fault someone for practicing a set beforehand, especially if it is a really important gig. Also, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to know exactly when and where two songs are going to match up, just that they are harmonically compatible and so on. No doubt the best advice in either case is knowing your tracks really well.

It's to get a feel for how things should go with your set and make sure that transitions will work. If you're just planning every little detail out on the set beforehand then yea, you might as well just use the native input recording in Traktor. I usually just pick out a framework for the set, try things out beforehand, and then when performing live I'll flesh things out as I go.

No doubt the best advice in either case is knowing your tracks really well. I can definitely understand why someone would practice a set for a very important gig. Yet I'd still advise them to try and add as much "live" decisions as possible, maybe even stepping away from the planned course entirely at times. That way you build confidence in your mixing and track-selection skills, which will make gigs a lot easier and a lot more fun. Knowing your tracks is probably the most important (and most underrated) aspect of DJ-ing all together.

I usually create a playlist of songs I feel like playing and that I think will work with the expected audience. I cram it full of tracks (sometimes 5 times more than I'll be able to play) and once I'm actually playing I let that playlist "guide" me. It sort of gives me hints as to what track to play next.

download any of Umek's sets to see what I meant effects aren't bad, in fact most people wouldnt even notice them when someone who knows what they're doing uses them (christopher lawrence or umek pop into mind) an example of bad effects is Paul van Dyk's set at Trance Energy 2009, his entire set was basically overlaced with a flanger Also I agree with everything Rivfader nand Ben & Stew said

Speaking of practicing for important gigs... I'm playing a small festival in Carthage, Missouri on May 23rd, and it would be splendid if one of you gentlemen or women would come and watch me play my set. There's one outdoor stage that will be primarily goa and psytrance, and then another indoor stage that will be more chilled out. From the looks of the flier, it's going to be and especially heady event :2012:    I am Dialectic Sines

Recorded first take in Ableton Live 8 after coming home to chill with some good old (and wild trancers I might obligatorily add . . ) after I stopped by the Above&Beyond show with them last week. Oh Oceanlab, waves of nostalgia and illicit chez (queso . . . cheese ... ... trance leads and sexy female vocal classic touch!) poured into my being and the essence inspired me to go home and just play and record. [[ Note: Inspired action to mix/DJ, and in no way meant from a musical perspective of the term...  ]]Any feedback would be greatly welcome, I feel I'm finally getting better at this shindig and not in the "hooray I hosed up less tonight" way or equally as annoying technological disaster nights I felt one too many times initially after switching to Ableton for DJing last year.

There's no trance in there lol, I was tired out of my mind when I wrote whatever I did there too lol. As for the original mix thing, it's purely because of the naming convention I use when organizing all my tracks, just copied all the filenames from explorer into the tracklist/graphic template I started sometime back in Gimp. P.S. I hope everyone realized whatever craziness I wrote about essence and stuff or whatever was sarcasm in relation to just having got back from a ridiculous trance act, but I suppose that didnt come across loud and clear?! Whatever, thanks for looking/listening regardless.
