How do I know if i can play my own tracks ?

Enough with the English apology already Xavier. Your English is fine 🙂

You don’t really. Only way is to go out and play it, if it sounds really horrible, be prepared to mix it out real quick. Otherwise just make notes of what you need to change and fix it at the next opportunity.

Was at a workshop with some Dutch high end producer/DJs and they actually told us they’d play version 1 of a track and all intermediate versions until it was finally ready for release.

And if you have done it enough, you’ll probably learn how to compensate. Your brain will recognize when something sounds one way on your monitoring system then it will sound that way on a big system. And you can compensate.

I’m with Vintage. I think we as DJs have taken the audiophile thinking to an extreme, and thus we’re losing the DIY rebellious spirit.

Go listen to “Time to Jack” by Chip E, or “On and On” by Jessie Saunders. They never sounded too “amazing” in my ears when you think of audio, but they ran out and played it, thus making them anthems.

If you get 100 folks asking for that tune, then either learn to master or pay to have it mastered. For now, do the best you can do and see how crowds like it.
