people are overthinking again…
over thinking things is the only way, that djs as a collective group have risen to the level we have.
its the only we can perfect things and get better. 
Harmonics. Phase. Eq. No cross faders only line faders subtle eq changes till 7(5% or so then when outro of track a ends make sure melody or start of epic kicks in on track b .. Profit
Not likely profit most newer djs who have not been djing since mid 90s and eary 2000 do not realize that trance is not as easy as some think. Kind of like mixing prog house from the 00-04 era long tracks subtle breaks and so on.
The poster early referring to big room trance. I think he means a sub genre that was called nrg but a sub of epic. Heavy use of supersaws strong deep bass lines hh sizzles claps so on. In bpm range 138-144 a large amount of people believed this style was easy to mix due to it sounding as though transitions are just slammed. This is highly incorrect and these people missed the 2 to 3 min mix that happened prior to the start of track a outro.
Also mixing today’s trance 128 to 136 is nothing like mixing trance prior to 2005
i only start the transition when there is a like 14 seconds of pure silence.
When the first beer bottle is hurled over the booth , i know i went like 2 seconds too long
Well said.
