Trance legend Ferry Corsten is launching his first-ever comprehensive mixing course with us here at Digital DJ Tips, and you’ll soon get the chance to learn from the master himself.
As this is such a big launch and is bound to be hugely popular, we wanted to give you some vital information ahead of time.
In this short article, we’ll explain to you what you need to know about Ferry Corsten’s Trance Mixing Masterclass so you can be ready to become one of the first students of this exciting course as soon as it launches.
What type of course is this?
Like all of our courses, this is an online course, where you do everything in a browser. Ferry teaches you how to master long, flowing transitions – creating those extended, euphoric blends that define trance, mixing tracks for minutes at a time while keeping every moment interesting and musical.
Whether you’re already a DJ wanting to master the unique skills trance requires, or you’ve always dreamed of learning from a true legend who helped define the genre, this course breaks down everything that makes trance mixing special.

It’s taught with video across 62 lessons and 30 follow-along annotated and practice demo videos. You get to watch Ferry performing and talking about everything he does, close up and detailed. He covers all energetic melodic genres including trance, psytrance, progressive house, and melodic techno – the full spectrum of modern energetic electronic music.
The material is organised carefully into modules, and your learning is self-paced – buy it to enjoy next week, next month, next year – it’s completely up to you. Your Digital DJ Tips tutors guide the lessons on your behalf, asking questions and helping you understand – it’s like being there with Ferry!
The course is yours for life once you’re signed up, and that includes all future upgrades. Of course we pioneered this style of teaching DJing, and since 2010 have successfully launched many such courses, teaching over 50,000 students, so you can be sure the course will be effective (and fun!)
What will I learn?
Ferry Corsten’s Trance Mixing Masterclass is your unique chance to learn how to DJ with trance like the best, directly from the best! From setting up your gear properly to finding the best tracks, getting the timing right to every performance trick…it’s all covered in the 62 lessons and eight modules of this course:
- Introduction & Philosophy – Understand the foundations of great trance DJing. The musical influences from Italo disco to early trance that shaped the genre. The philosophy behind track selection, flow over perfection, and why old and new music belong together
- Gear – Learn to set up any DJ gear (from controllers to club gear) to DJ trance effectively. The course covers the essential features you actually need, recommended settings for effects and EQs, and how to optimise your set-up for the long, flowing transitions trance requires
- Music – How to find great trance music across all the subgenres. You’ll learn proven methods for auditioning tracks, organising your library, and keying your music using Ferry’s “bass note” technique. Plus an effective approach to metadata that makes finding the right track instant
- Mixing Fundamentals – Master phrase mixing, volume control, and the critical bass/mid/high EQ techniques that keep trance mixes clean and powerful. You’ll learn the exact process for structuring transitions, managing levels, and making two melodic tracks work together beautifully
- Advanced Mixing – Take your mixing further with reverb, echo, and filter techniques specific to trance. Learn to extend outros with loops, shorten tracks on the fly, and supercharge builds. This module reveals all the creative tricks for adding that extra magic to transitions
- Extra Mixing Tips – Navigate between different BPMs smoothly. Use a third deck for creative layering. Master the “fader formula” for silky-smooth blends. Plus live performance techniques, crowd control tricks, and making quick edits using hot cues
- Performing & Success – Get insights about playing festivals versus clubs, dealing with negativity, balancing career and family, and maintaining mental health in the DJ lifestyle. Learn from Ferry’s 26 years of experience navigating the industry at the highest level
- Bonuses – Watch all of these techniques adapted for both vinyl turntables and modern DJ controllers, proving these methods work on any gear. Perfect for understanding the fundamentals behind the technology
