The Perfect DJ Mix Set Will Get You to the Top?
Contents of the video
So, you're trying to get that perfect mix. You try and try and try for months, sometimes years, until eventually you get that seamless mix with no issues, 100% absolutely perfect. In your eyes it is the perfect mix. Beatmatching is perfect. Transitions are perfect. Phrasing is perfect. Harmonically it is tuneful. But, when you reach that level, it is no longer perfect because it is too perfect. You have lost the body and the soul of a true DJ mix. A true DJ mix should sound as though it has been made by a person and not by a machine. Management are very clever. If they hear something, they will be able to tell. If a machine has done it. So, if you're trying to get to the level of what machines can do, then you're wrong. Come down a bit. Remember you're a human. Make your mix organic and real.
If it goes out of time for a second or a millisecond, great. If it stays perfectly in beat all the time, not great because it needs to be real and organic. Management is perfect. You need to hear and need to know that you did it, not some damn program or a sync button. Remember, keep the soul in your mix. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
