Effects in your set
View this Thread in Original format
DSILVR
Hey all i am pretty new to the Trance Addict forums. I am currently mixing house/electro on my CDJs and i am soon to move onto trance as it is my favourtite genre of music. I am interesting to know what effects can i incorporate into my trance mix's. At the moment i can put some cool effects into my House sets like looping, using reverse switch on vocals etc. How ever i don't think i could so this on trance as it is a totaly different genre of music and can't be mashed up as much as house/electro. I am interested in what effects you put in your sets. Do you drop loops in etc? If so how do u create your loops? Do you just get a music chopping program and cut the songs vocals and beats up etc?

Cheers DSILVR

I use a Filter (Bass, Mid, Highs) that's pretty much it.

Filter, maybe a flange or two, an echo, a delay, that's about it for straight up trance.

loops loops and loops!

Echo, delay, 6 different filters, fuzz, jet, flange, and wah all get a fair amount of use from me :)

could use the reverb to fatten up your 2 and a half hour long buildups.

Yeah FX need to be pretty subtle in trance :) Main ones I use include phaser, flanger, echo, transform, wah, filter & not forgetting reverse delay (sounds like the track is playing backwards when it's still playing forwards. I use it for a couple of beats at the end of a phrase).

Some none FX tricks I use for trance include jamming on the reverse switch & the old fave the spinback :tongue2

Allied Nations - I'm really crap at loops, they jump all over the place :( Do you do them on the fly or have them set up on CDJ1000 hot loops?

I never use effects.

Filters, Echo, Jet, and Zip (on very rare occasions).

If the song fits well enough, I'll sometimes tease it into the live track a little bit. Look for what song I wanna play after the cued track. Look for the song I might wanna play after that song. Have a few sips of my beer. And of course, dance. :D
