This looks very promising, indeed. :)
edit:
So, your transitions are excellent! The flow very well done and overall a nice mix! BUT (there always is a "but"... :D ) why do you play it so damn slow? Comon... give +3% pitch and we're talking. This way it's much too progressive and far from being uplifting. I mean: You had to pitch down "Children of the Sun"...that one is a burner pitched up, not down...
Otherwise it's a really good set. :) |

You're right though I could have bumped the bpms up a bit for the 2nd half and given it bit more energy. I'll definitely keep this in mind for next time.;)
I was happy with this mix though and didn't want the bpms to increase too dramatically considering the tracks range from 125-140 bpm which is a bit too much of an increase for an hour and half set imo. So I had pitched the first few tracks right up and some of the later tunes right down to keep the flow.
BUT! I will also say that it's not really the tempo that makes music uplifting, more the melodies i think which I think are uplifting here for most the part but I'll let others decide that for themselves. Thanks for giving it a listen and for your feedback.:) |

Certainly, the melodies are important for the feeling, but without the right speed, nobody will fall into trance. :) Btw. do you have some personal maximum pitch? I mean, is there a limit of how much you pitch up a track?
I have two or three tracks that I like to pitch up by +8-10% and they sound especially nice then. Just try it... ;) Also I avoid pitching down as much as possible, which is my personal rule. :) |

| 125 to 140 is easy to do in an hour and a half and will add a lot of good flow to it! |

Well I really don't place any rules on my playing, it's just a combination of personal preference and track selection. I used to pitch all my tunes well up to +6-8% but got out of that habit because it can kind of limit where you can go with a set and also doesn't work well for me with other genres I play. I do think I should have increased the tempo a bit more for the 2nd half now though.

Each to their own. I'm not saying it's hard to do, it's certainly doable, I just feel that a tempo increase like that will sound better over 2+ hours than in an hour to an hour and a half. |

I agree with you on that. :)
Ok, besides that stuff about the speed your mix is definately better than what most of the "Pro's" offer nowadays! ;) |

Definitely agree with that one, and personally I thought the mix was really well programmed ;) Would have liked a little bit more speed at the end, again that's just personal, but it definitely worked well and the mixing and track selection was great.
[Also, I'm a bit liberal with my tempo increases haha] |

Thanks a lot for the kind words guys. Really inspires me hear stuff like that.:)
Also Lews I just remembered that I did a psy trance mix earlier in the year for Meat187's genre challenge, where I did increase the bpm's a lot from 135bpm prog psy into more full on stuff around 150 at the end and it worked rather well, so perhaps I should try that more often.
A lot of the deep house/tech I play I don't like pitching up too much usually keeping close to the tempo the tune was produced at but I do find that pitching tunes up works well with trance a lot of the time.
Just about to put on your trance mix too btw.;) |
