Since there aren't many tutorials on psytrance mixing, I've decided to make one.
We will be going through 4 different basic transitions between 2 songs using EQ, filter and the loop function. I used Traktor Pro 2 and a Denon MC3000 to do the tutorial, but the transitions can be made with any software, controller or even CDJs. This tutorial is meant for those who already know the basics of djing but are a bit lost when trying to mix psy.
While these are basic transitions, the idea is to show different kind of mixes than the old boring intro/outro mix.
Next tutorial using effects: • How to Mix Psytrance: ...
Please comment, share and subscribe if you like.
If this tutorial is appreciated I will make more.

Thank you!
Lets be honest, there are so many of us here that would have lost interest in mixing Psytrance without this video. The raw basics presented in 7 minutes. It is so good. In my opinion you don't need more and maybe you shouldn't even watch more, its the foundation to create your own style.
Totally agree. Typed "psytrance transitions" into a search bar and found this video on a reddit post from 8 years ago. Still relevant. Adding echo on the FX and using crunch on the hi-pass also do wonders too as just layers onto this foundation.
This how tutorials should be. Straight forward, really laid out well and written instructions with NO talking. Thank you. I will subscribe!
🔥🔥 Hey, thanks for watching!
I'm working on new tutorials on psytrance mixing. Be sure to *subscribe* and *hit the bell* for more!
Stay tuned 🙃
More please...
TH-cam is seemingly devoid of psytrance tutorials
Please make a tutorial how to mix more agressive tracks (progdark, forest, etc)
Well if you are used to listen to psytrance (or any electronic music) you will clearly notice when a new phrase comes in. Every 8 bars (32 beats) something happens, sometimes is a big change in the track, sometimes is just a new sound added and sometimes is just a cymbal crash that's telling you "HERE starts a new phrase". Start paying more attention to what you listen and you'll get it easily =)
my problem on finding out this new phrase coming in was IDing what a phrase was! lol
btw, on 3:00 did you really mean 8 bars before the swap point? it seemed much more to me but I'm not literate in music xD
amazing video for beginners btw, much thanks! :)
Thanks for the great tutorial!
Honestly. Perfect
You didnt tell us your whole lifestory or how psytrance djing was invented and what so many people do wrong and whatever
You just deliver quick
Thanks!
That last transition impregnated me
So how's the bebe
@@abdsnomadicescapades7773 I've been carrying for 4 fucking years now I think its some kind of alien
@@acidbubbles419 yeah maybe it is 👽 🕉️ ey your channel is awesome I'll def vibe to the music you've curated.

(0:00): Track Preview
(1:07): Bass Swap
(2:28): Lead Swap
(3:44): Progressive EQ Mix
(5:04): Loop Roll Build Up
hello
I feel these techniques can be used in other genres too. Great lesson!
depends, tried the lead swap on deep house, but most of the buid ups are just to weak in order to make it smooth
Trance in genral it can be used. Good exsample is hard dance or hard house.
I've seen these techniques all work with the right DnB tracks. Though the phrasing is longer with DnB usually.
that last one was smooth

Thank you, video 11 years old still hitting, helped me a lot!
Ok even for traktor dj'ing the last loop and filter out transition was f'n badass! Cheers from Denmark! 🤘🏼🎧
The final is amazing, but as a beginner I think I'm going to go for the second one. Love that.
Cool video! But quick little tip for anyone trying that last transition, start the loop 1 bar (or beat) later so you don’t have that constant ringing cymbal/crash. That way it isn’t as obvious that you’re transitioning another song.
I keep referencing this video over and over again as I learn how to mix for the first time! Hitech psytrance is my poison and I haven't been able to find much online like this, thank you so much!
The Denon is the one I use. It's very solid, nothing cheap. But you can start with any midi controller. I started with a cheap Hercules mp3 E2, so yes... just be sure it has the Traktor mapping, so you wont have to build it yourself.
This was cool! I've been mixing PsyTrance for 13+ years and I learned something from this. I appreciate this video. Thank you.
Bang on with that last transition. I always hear them but it's amazing to see how it actually works
I dont think that he is realy professional psytrance dj.... Check out my mixes, learn what is REAL transitions

my word, DJing is so much easier than it used to be. trying to keep 2 psy tunes in for ages using old vinyl was always fun ;) none of this 10 second trasitions and auto cues etc.
thats why psy trance used to be one of the hardest genres to mix.
PsyTrance is still pretty rough to mix because of all the synth leads going on. Not as hard as it used to be by a long shot. Fortunately back then I was mixing UK hardhouse mostly but that gave me a pretty good foundation.
You have the basics here, just experiment yourself. Last transition uses the filter to slowly hi pass the track while the other is building up. You can also try mixing only with the filter. For example, start highpassing A, while slowly add some low-end from B (start with the filter at full left position)... then slowly turn both knobs clockwise.
Fukkin brilliant bro, simple yet effective.... Plus, to actually execute the 3rd is not at all how easy you made it look... Respect!
cheers for this, simple, easy to learn and fun to try
Yes, they are in the same key. This works also on harmonic compatible keys, like 1 fifth above/below. But if they are in totally incompatible keys you would have to do quick cut and drop or find 2 tracks that really go well together even if they are not in compatible keys.
You are a god. Thank you so much for these transitions
Bravo. Nice simple transitions, and nothing overly complicated.
Thanks. Psytrance is trance at last, so yes, they can be used for any kind of trance. Glad you liked it!
wow I am a complete beginner and just did my first transition EVER....this video really helped me doing it. I used the bass swap and now I will try the lead swap THANKS For your HELP 🙏
Sure mate, just keep thinking out of the box, keep experimenting. These are just ideas I'm showing. Make your own way. And listen to psytrance, is freaking amazing !
The last transition was so dope !! O_O
Super Psychrobatic!
Big thx for the nice basic tutorial here mixing psytrance!.
Even i have learn something that makeing much amateur psy mixes
for fun with mixmesiter :D
Keep up the good work dude!
Thank you..This tutorial was very good for me to get excited about doing psy remix.
I love that you can notice the screen moving after landing the last transition, assuming that was a victory dance :)). Great tutorial, thank you very much!
You inspired me to finally start mixing goa and i'm loving it. Picked up a cheap used MC3000 that should serve me just fine till i can get something more modern/capable.
Great lesson mate! I have just got back into DJing after a 10 year break and found this really useful (especially the last one!). I always mixed vinyl and have just got a DDJ so good to see how its done digitally! Keep up the good work and Thanks Again!!!!
my journey to the psytrance mixing has begun after watching this video--amazing
You're actually really good at this man :) I don't really listen to psytrance much, I usually do techno, deep house, edm maybe, progressive, but I was requested like a few days ago to do a party and play psytrance, and I actually never did psytrance, but I would like to do it because I like to play with different types of house music, so this was really helpful, I definitely look forward to seeing more of your videos of this kind. Keep up the good work man!
It should be noted in this that track A is a twilight/night time full on track and track B is a full on track so that beginners can recognize the sub genres being played here. A lot of the principals are generally the same however I mix Psychedelic aka uptempo psy which is often mistaken for full on and I use 32 bar mixes to create a progressive sound that makes it hard to tell when one song ends and the next starts.
These mixes are very good and manage to create that progressive flow without using long mixes, there are other ways but this is a great tutorial.
I just visit once in a while to witness this last majestic transition
Thank you! The last transition can get better by adding the right effects =)
Nice video man. Simple 😊
I generally use the first three types. As I'm mostly playing uplifting tracks. Generally I prefer the progressive mix type you have shown here.
*runs away to drop some psy tracks*
Awesome tutorial! I'm so happy i finally found a video where someone films what they're actually doing. Helped a lot :)
The last one was very cool! Thanks for the advices
OMG! I love the last transitions. : )
I just watched another video of yours and things are much brighter now..I didn't asked my question good because i can't put it right in English :) Don't worry, i figured it out. thanks
5 stars video! Thanks!
The MC3000 works just okay with Traktor Pro 2. You need to download the mapping from Denon website and then import it into TP2. DJ Software is a matter of choice, but I'd definitely go for TP2 instead of VDJ. Go to Denon website and ask in the forum if you can't make it work with Traktor.
Exactly what I wanted to see right now. Great video!!!
Thanks a lot for this video!
I have been starting to mix psytrance a few weeks ago when I got my first controller and your video is my mentor! :D
it was nice of you to show me how to mix psytrance clearly!!
thanks a lot!!
It's the Raycotek's mapping with some modifications. To jump 8 bars, you need to map the button to Deck Common > Move > Beatjump and there select -32 or +32. Good luck!
nice final transition!! i find that adding reverb on some "messy" intros before filtering the bass over smoothens things out depending on the track
Great tutorial!! I just perfected my loop mix! Thanks m8!
this just confirmed me I was doing things right, I wish I had this information earlier because I spent some time figuring out how everyone did :) Great tips man, was just searching for some new techniques since I'm doing a small gig tomorrow =)
hey this is great help for me, really apreciate it! :)
where can i download progpsy tracks to practice and mix? i can't find any :(
Dang, not as fancy as some other tutorials out there but very clear and effective! Big thumbs up!
Thank you. Yes, each bar has 4 beats, so 8 bars are 32 beats, a typical phrase. Regarding keys, search "harmonic mixing" on google. I don't like call them "rules", there are no rules. A tutorial on mixing progressive is coming, but to put it in a few words, the transitions in progressive are slower than full on. Slowly and progressively (duh!) mixing the next tune in. Stay tuned for the next tutorial. Thanks!
Woooo that last mix was freaking awesome. Respect!
I just learn this years before but it shows me that I need it to remember this well explained.
very cool man thank you
you opened my mind and i finnaly beginning to understand how to mix
thank youuu
Thanks mate! When mixing psytrance you have to think outside of the box as it's not a "standard intro/outro structured" genre. Just go crazy and experiment with it. Yes, I've used mixmeister a lot in the past, but just to prepare a mixed playlist for a party. I still use it for that purpose, but only when doing "normal" parties. In psy raves I like to mix it live, much more fun. Don't be afraid of buying a cheap midi controller and start mixing with Traktor/Serato/Whatever. Good luck! =)
finally a basic tutorial that actually works :))))
God I really liked the last one, nice job here !
Man this tutorial is amazing! Thanks from Argentina, can you do a tutorial about basics on traktor? how you set your cue point, and things like that? that would be really helpful for the noobs like me in the dj world
there are alot of utorials like these already just type in "traktor tutorial"
+ExtaSe please tell me some of them so I can learn more!
Pablo Maríncola here is a full PLAYLIST of videos where every bit of traktor is explained: replace the DOT with a "."

Awesome tutorial man, thanks a lot was exactly what i was looking for. More videos will be much appreciated! Greetings from South Africa.
That last transition yoh, have a thumbs up :)
Make sure your In and Out ports are pointed to the Denon. Preferences>Controller Manager, then select the Denon under the drop down menu, then change In-Port and Out-Port to Denon. Sometimes when you unplug the USB and plug it back in, it requires you to do this again when you start Traktor. Hope that helps!
I wish i found this tutorial 4 years ago :) Nice and to the point and every DJ needs to know this.
This was very helpful, thank you!
Thanks for video, especially for last one method) i'll try

Thank you, my friend and I are looking into starting to mix psy trance and this tutorial is extremely helpful.
that last transition! Spot on! thanks for the vid man! Really really great advice and tips! going to go give them a try :) post more tutorials please!
Nice one! Right to the point and no yakking about yourself. Great ideas for most any genre. Thanks my friend.
THAT. WAS. AWESOME.
Great tutorial, man. Thanks!
Good Job!
Yes, they can work with songs with vocals, as long as you don't overlap both vocals together, that will probably sound bad. Regarding other genres, I haven't experienced too much mixing other stuff, but yes, probably. Why don't you try it yourself and let me know? =)
That final transition was dope.
According to the Bass switch - how do you know when the cue point on deck A is 8 bars away?
And of course thanks for the amazing tutorial !!!
the last is crazy !!!
I just don't like to over-categorize stuff but I'd say these could be something between night and hi-tech full-on (definitely not morning).
nice tips💙
Thank my brother :)
Very concise, probably working for every genre! Thank you mate
sick tutorial man! much appreciated! gunna try these techniques out RIGHT NOW!
