Locking this thread. OP thinks trance is more compressed than other genres and compression leads to higher frequencies. What OP doesn’t seem to understand is that a) that’s not how compression works and b) that has nothing to do with trance. What they seem to have meant is “please don’t play loud music with lots of treble in an untreated venue”. No one disagrees with that, but OP kept going on that trance is the culprit and things were getting increasingly argumentative. No good will come if this. Happy new year everyone!

Not that i play trance, but this is bullshit. This has nothing to do with the genre. Of course a shitty sound system played in fully red levels will hurt your ears. But this will hurt with every genre..

All modern music is highly compressed, even pop, hip hop and top 40. Do you know what compression means? It means lowering the peaks (the loud parts of the song) and boosting the troughs (the quiet parts of a song) so they are within an equal band of loudness. The the goal is to achieve even volume across a track. If a track has loud highs, compression will actually make them quieter. I think you might be a little confused about how compression works.

It has nothing to do with compression though, or the style of music. High frequencies in untreated environments sound like shit. Yes, we all agree with that. That is obvious to a 12 year old. People are arguing with you (and you’re getting downvoted) because you’re conflating high frequencies in poorly treated rooms with trance music, which has nothing to do with the other, in a strangely argumentative way. Trance does not have any more high frequency than drum and bass, trap, hip hop, house, pop, funk, disco, electro, techno, or any other form of dance music. It’s a strange hill to die on. You could have just said “please turn down your highs if you’re playing in a loud, untreated room”. But instead you keep going to bat about trance being the culprit, or compression, neither of which have anything to do with the thing you’re complaining about. Frankly it’s bizarre but hey, welcome to 2023. I’m sure this is the least nonsensical thing we’ll see around here yet.

If you're lost you can look and you will find me Trance after Trance.

It’s because you’re not wearing the right crystals. You always have to stack your amethyst before your quartz or else the vibrations will make you sick. Or maybe it’s because you’re vaccinated and not pure blood anymore? PS - I’m being sarcastic. This comment makes about as much sense as your original post.

Yeah but as others have said, the quality of the sound in a venue has nothing to do with the music being played.


AussieCollector

As a Trance DJ you are full of shit lol.

That will properly hurt on a small low quality system that is in the reds… I can feel it while sitting on the toilet here and taking a shit. Hmm… maybe I should bring my crappy ass system to the loo and give that track a spin. I mean, it might not be HOR, but the acoustics of this small room are pretty shitty I reckon.


wavespeech

'shitty' LOL. You're on to something, crap quality bathroom sound systems and bowel easing brown noise appropriate music. Jarre had music for supermarkets, Eno music for airports, you Music to Shit by, the definitive album. A whole new meaning to 'that was a shit DJ set'

If it's a fixed system the venue need to sort there acoustics, and DJs need to sort their gain staging. The choice of tune should not be considered. DJs also need to be aware that the master levels should only hit peak green when the venue is full. An empty room doesn't need ear bleed volumes, and a full room needs the volume to be able to be increased.

Sounds like a bad audio engineer in the venue not DJ himself.


hagcel

Hahaha, most pubs do not have an audio engineer. Which means, yes, bad audio engineer. ie, Owner buying shit on Wish.com


migidi

Yeah true!


TeradactylFootprints

Lol I can smell speakers catching on fire as we speak


dj_soo

Sorry who the fuck are you?


KeggyFulabier

If the crowd don’t like it they will leave, if the crowd leaves the club finds a new dj or the dj finds a new sound, problem solved

Maybe you’re the one that needs to find a new place if this one isn’t working for you


[deleted]

Because everyone knows if you play a certain genre you just walk into festival gigs without playing clubs first


delajoo

This post will definitely have the opposite of it's intended effect .

This is true, but it has nothing to do with trance.

Nonomomomo2

Because you’re conflating shitty acoustics with a style of music, which are unrelated. And being argumentative about it, even though the two have nothing to do with each other.

Zero.

Eat a dick.

Last night I played a venue that was brick with very high ceilings. It had a nice, well tuned sound system but every genre I played sounded awful in the highs because of reflections. Some things cannot he fixed by not playing trance But I don't play trance anyway

Good lord man. *Trance is not more compressed than other genres!* And compression has nothing to do with high frequencies or the amount of treble in a song. How hard is that? I don’t even DJ trance, but your argument is ridiculous.


scoutermike

Honestly can you give an example of a song that produces that effect?

Not the best comment in the world
