Analyse of Boys Noize's build up effects on Pioneer mixer
Posted on: 13.01.2013 by Mitsuko Hamade


it starts around 3.01 and that buildup is really sweet, that song is phantom (boys noize remix) and i am sure it has quite different buildup. he might looped upcoming song and made a buildup with the drums but still there is some effect he turned off right before the drop .

any ideas?

I'm perfectly happy to be proved wrong, and I'm no expert in production effects so maybe there's a consensus I'm not aware of. However, the point stands that traktor has a good variety of delay options.
"Echos" and tape delays are extremely similar. One point is the variation between a "multi tap" tape delay (the multitap delay effect on the DJM-2000) which is effectively a delay that cycles more than once, with not much emphasis on the decaying bit. An echo is only a single transient, that repeats on a time division and decays naturally. Tape delays tend to have decays, but can be a bit variable. A true "echo" is defined by it's decay.

Dude, echo and delay are basically the same thing and there are multiple delays available in traktor.

In the video he's probably using a loop, possibly coinciding with the drum buildup of another track to emphasise it and right at the end I'd guess it's the noise or crush color FX on the DJM-900.

I agree, Delay and Echo on my denon x1600 mixer are very different. Echo is more of a 'one off' echoed sound where as delay actually sounds more like a repetition of the sound..if that makes any sense?? Pretty poor explanation really

but I like BN effects are damn cool. Wish I could do it! ha
