Question about djing

[honey-d]

I know the initial query was whether it would be ruined if you recorded it only. But to the people who suggested to go back and edit it, you can't exactly go back and edit in a live environment so it would be bad practise to do it normally too.

Recordings and Live Performances are different in the sense that your mistakes are not recorded in a Live Set.

Recordings are listened to Over and Over in some cases, So it gives the listener greater opportunity to be critical, that's why you try extra hard to make sure everything sounds perfect.

I don't see much wrong with going back and editing. A Large part of your skill as a DJ is your intuition for Tune selection and Blend Quality, if you want to highlight that in a Recording. Whats wrong with that? It will probably make the recording procedure a whole lot more painless, I bet the Record companies do it on big releases anyway.

As long as your not hiding the fact that your completely incompetent and shit.


That said, as advice to a New DJ, you need to make the mistakes to learn from them. Usually you will find, when you listen back to a recording you have greater idea of what exactly is wrong with it then when you were actually doing it live.

I dunno if i went back on a mix I recorded and remixed things in that didn't quite go in right it would be faking it for me.

good practice.

but when it's like 45 minutes in, it's a pretty awful feeling.
