Mixing trance is like telling a story you don't rush it coz the sky is the limit!!
16 years later and this is still helpful. Building my dj skills on old forgotten trance vinyl and this vid helps!
I can't believe how many different setups this guy has. Equipment isn't cheap but it is like hes got one for each room!
Dude, you're a good teacher
Nostalgia galore
Finally someone understands how trance mixes are supposed to be!
Thank you very much, sir. I was looking for this exact explanation, someone just breaking it down, showing me, and then wrapping it up. Brilliant. You've inspired me to go ahead and find a nice controller and get to work
love the vids you're posted. love seeing djs who have fun doing their thing cuz there's sooo many djs that in my opinion take themselves too seriously
thank you for your videos. your videos have helped me out djing.
i always get this imbued with enthusiasm when i listen to you!!! thanks!
hi, to be honest it can apply to any style, but the likes of trance ,hard house and psy trance i feel it is better to play the whole toon.
j
remember just my opinion
you are the best tutor in dj'ing ik now. you tell everyting that I understand it!
This is the most helpful video I've ever seen, gonna practice asap! Cheers
Ellaskins this is the first vid ive watched of yours and ill deffo be watching the rest, great quality and great tutorials.
thats called HARMONIC MIXING
Thank you Jonathan for this video. I'm trying to become a trance DJ myself and it's nice to refer you and your vidz for help. Thank you again. Love the track selection as well.
Great video, Thanks mate helped me out loads.
Dude,You ARE A LEGEND!
Considering this video is 4yrs old its still applies today. Good to see things like that
your an absolute legend, keep up the great work
Very educational! Your vid really helped me understand mixing trance better.
Your videos and speaking style are really good, thanks for uploading!
that advise of trying to make a track with all the set is a very good idea, Thank's man
good mix man, very educational. when someone knows their profession, just to look at them is "out of this world". good trance too. need more educational vids like this sir. thaks again.
I never plan on being a DJ , but this video was very informative ! job well done.
I totally agree with you, keep up the good work!
From Mexico... Thankyou very much dude x)
another great tutorial, well done man, you do excellent videos.
its very nice! ive been learn a lot, just by looking 2 movies!
I know right. This guy is really cool for helping everyone
Awesome video, great tunes and keep them coming!! thanks
excellent video, thank you for the tips
Excellent! thanks so much !
I freaking love you
on that particular mixer jonathan is using there is buttons above each of his channels called "CUE", basicly whatever cue buttons are pressed are in the headphones regardless of what the fader levels are at, so if you have the fader up on track A, fader down on track B, CUE button on both pressed, the crowd will hear track A, your headphones will hear both
FINALLY! Thank you!
dagadagadagadaga... yeah man, well said, this is the essence of trance, the baseline, and, of course, the strings; these tracks are made to give you the impression of high speed flying so they go well with flanger effects
thanks mate... i'm gettin decks very soon this will help me alot..
Its awesome..... i learning a lot of him =)
wow yeah that was a pretty smooth transition
thnaks m8 :) these videos helped me alot.. god bless you!
@DjAotaka not 100% true, most commercial Trance is yes, but even in 1998 and earlier there were tunes at 132 BPM. There are still 135-142 BPM tunes out there just not as much on the huge labels anymore. Just look further than Armada and Anjuna and there are loads of 135+ BPM tracks still being released. More than 132 BPM to be honest.
Its pretty easy to mix a trance mix as oposed to funky house etc..just make sure they are in beat at same bpm..can be slighly more challenging on only vinyl but only slighly..great videos cant stop watching them:P ..you made quite a name for yourself
unbelievable job
i do hardstyle, so this is really useful to me as well. basic same concept and ideas
Yeah mate totally, Judge Jules explains mixing trance better than anyone! There are points in songs that have been placed there by the producers as sort of mix points! Use the breakdowns and use filters on them as well that can sound really cool! If you watch some Eddie Halliwell Cream videos, he does that all the time! From my experience of mixing trance, work the breakdowns, be great at beatmatching, and use your EQ! Then use different filtering fx to create "mix points" so to speak!
Where I can find JJ explaining how to mix ? Thanks
Damn youre good. I love these tuitorials. What about when the bpm goes up and down alot?
Yeah that's a tough one I can't stand not knowing the bpm of my next track I've been spoiled by my virtual djay software that analyzes track & key but even then still sometimes ya need to transition more than 10%+or- bpm. Playing tracks in key is one half he was trying to explain about how they'll sound alike armin did a lil lesson on doing this using que points pre-cues & how he marks all his CDs with the track ID 1 per cd and the key & bpm. Helpful but not for transitions outside of the 10% -or+ bpm either way is so difficult this is what causes me to train wreck multiple times or stay hitting the cheat sync button which still doesn't work so well somehow they don't get past 0.00 beats they should probly go to milliseconds to maybe 0.000 at least or 0.0000 for example 2 tracks that are 130.17bpm one maybe 130.179 & the other 130.170 or even 13.1798:137.1701 but the bpm on the software only going over 0.00 wouldn't detect this slight difference so 2 tracks that appear to be the exact same bpm maybe off by nearly a milisecond or less & it really affects it some 8-16+ bars later they start to get out of sync and using the auto cheat match sync bpm button only makes things worse as it'll try to fix it but ends up making them noticeably off and the horse gallop train wreck of bpm can be heard. It's even harder without a headphone option. Also auto sync cheat buttons can really screw up the pitch or tone key etc. of say a song that's 60-80bpm and a 128-132bpm song it'll make the vocals sound way too deep or like chipmunks & the beat is not in sync at all but sounds like a totally new song in a bad way unpleasant to the ear besides in very rare cases like nearly any song off W&W's mainstage album can sound like an amazing slow down tempo chill track when slowed down so much but it's hard to find songs that do so yet a great trick to use in the production of trance music is to start around like 30bpm create a riff then speed it up if it still sounds good as its tweaked and slowly brought up in tempo till 138-140bpm then the track should sound good at nearly all within that range but I am having the same problem with these specific transitions from +or-10bpm than the track I'm currently playing & we don't always have time to gradually bring the bpm up by 1bpm per song like 1-3 or even 5bpm is harder to notice any change compared to 10+ more bpm changes. Idk if this is even a helpful comment lol it's less than helpful but hopefully it helped someone learn something, I learned something about why songs that seem like the exact same bpm will still get way out of sync and quickly by writing it for some reason I learned there needs be at least 1 more decimal place in bpm detection, display, and matching software lol.
gotta love it..... THANKS ALOT!!!!!
well done jon. i mix trance, its the best :)
Great video, cheers mate.
Very Trancee :) Good explanation and good choice of tunes there too.
you are awesome dude
dude u r awesome!

big hug
keep
Many thanx Psychrobatic will do RESPECT!
BIG IT UP
Thank you very much. Very Clear
again nice vid. and sweet shirt !
Sweet sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright,
Thanks allot! Keep it up!
Great info!
you make some valid points
@gulyzor that's what headphones are for. he sets the second track to the same bpm (tempo) as the first one (the mixer will tell you which each cd player is in) and then he cues up the 2nd cd player so that when he hits the cue button, it lands on a beat. he then matches beats by hitting cue on the same beat of the first CD player.
Drawr a picture... Love ti. Thanks for the tutorial. Helped. =D
Dude I really would like to meet you in person! you're giving the world great advises about djing, nd I would be proud that I've met you (if I do) . =)
keep it up
pumpupumpa all over the place! haahha nice video, you give me inspiration
I am buying myself a $300 Numark dj in a box set for Xmas just for hobby. If I get better, and people like what I do I will think about upgrading into a setup like yours :)
I think I understand how to mix trance now... Its pretty much making song out of many tracks (trance) that sound the same but make your own rises, fall, etc.
God I love trance! :D
well said!!... and a very important point that MOST of the "dj's" miss completely with the learning curve shortened as much as it has with the technology available today...
Sweet! Thanks!
pretty cool and helpful man.
Nice tutorials you ´ve been doin here.
pure uplifting man:D
amazing You help me mixing better
thanks for the video my friend. :)
Yes your right I still love trance music and always will Armin Van Buuren is fantastic and listen to all armada label complations in the gym and in my car. As a DJ however I prefer mixing Prog House.
Thanks so much man, this is one of the best channels on youtube. Only advice would be to try and pack a little more punch with less talking and more "doing" cause watching it done is the best way to learn I think. BUT you do both, thats great for some people. God bless
Hey mate do your record mixes, would be great to hear the variety of your Dj mixes
pristine explanation my friend. very helpful 5 stars
Excellent... :)
Thank you Thank you.
@donzaliko and I am happy that YOU were born, and have registered on RUclips, cuz that was a funny comment and it made my day. Thanks.
Long awaited video for me :)
You know how you mentioned in the end of the video "its a good idea to play the whole track"... Would that/can that be applied towards hard house?
Hey nice johnathon im sure armand van buuren would have liked that keep it up
Verry good video :)
Wow! Thanks! I'd really like to make some trance!!!! I'm impressed by that staff that Djs use. And trance music is the best in the whole world, I fell always so free when I'm listening to Tiësto or van Buuren or every else good-sounding-trance-track. Could you tell where I can find these things you have? And what about price of this? If I want some good one, but not too expensive, could you give me some tips, brands etc.?:) Thank you in advance!:)
GREAT VIDEO! Thanks ella, & keep up the good work! But I think this calls for 2nd follow up video? What do you guys think?:)
Agree with the comments below. In trance tracks there are certain points made specially for mixing, keep an eye out for them and you will have great transitions. That is if you choose the tracks well and have a good playlist. Trance is more about choosing the right tracks in the right continuity, if u do this well you will have great succes.
music aside, you gotta love his shirt!
very well explained
=)
To be honest if you learn the basics of mixing trance music and then buy our own equipment, the best thing to do is simply spend hours and dedicate time to getting used to the equipment and creating your own style.
Thats how a great individual DJ normally makes it out of the ranks.
In my opinion, it varies from song to song, I've done complete sets of progressive house with both basses on fully, without even touching them, the thing is, most of the time the basslines were either almost identical or they complemented each other completely. If there was a disruption or clashing bass lines, then I just didn't mix them together (I'm not a fan of messing with EQ's to mix).
Nice t - shirt bro Jack Daniels FTW!
could you do a video on how to mix trance and other types of dance music. I have tried and not done very well doing so.
thanks,
DJ Jemnastique
harmonized mixing is important with Trance, most specifically , because the dj is keeping the same key , same tempo from track to track, and not have harsh transitions that jar the floor in any way due to them being in incompatible keys ..IN trance mixing, it's about making gradual key changes by going with key of A and the next song being G...since those sound right together those can be used if you don't wanna stay in A forever..If you know keys on a piano/keyboard this will help.. Zenya.com can aid you with this..
Hi Jonathan, I had been following tutorial for a while. I must admit that I have become a fan of yours. I like Paul Oakenfold, Above & Beyond, PVD, Matt Darey, Ferry Corsten, John Digweed and many more. I love trance music, not the Goa ones, but the classic progressive trance. However, do you have any idea about the A&H xone:3D/4D midi mixer? Please advise... :)
Great vid Jon...
BTW, What happened to your left trustworthy 800Mk2?
rly usefull tips...!!!
Coast 2 Coast FTW!!!! =D
