How Do You 'Actually' Feel When Your Work Is Criticised ?

Ok then… your shit… 😉

“Well; Why Did It Suck; did the Person Tell You Why; [B]do they have the Authority Of Technique and Skill to Say That ?”

[SIZE=4]99.9 percent o the time the answer is big fat NO..the majority of critisim comes from people who are looking out for there own interests when it comes to dj’in ….example being, I played in a bar and some pretty middle aged woman come up to the dex and says “can you play something else,people are leavin and no one dancin” she was sober..as I look out to the floor I see folks skankin out smiles a plenty..”she then goes on to say im such and such if it wasnt for so and so you wouldnt have played” so I turned to her and was polite to the point of being rude (if she was a guy I would ave got my mate over and chuck a egg at her 😉 …. I get the rage from people with no concept of what dj’in is about seem to think your their persoal jukebox they say jump you say how high sort of thing…the only critisim that should be taken onboard is from the person shaking your hand saying you made their night/day/weekend the rest of em can get to f……[/B][/SIZE]

Personally i feel very happy because it means that someone was really listen to me, i prefere criticism instead of a “it’s ok” “nice” “good” that means that people prefere doing their things….

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS
SO MANY TIMES THIS

for me it depends on whos doing it. if its just a normal clubgoer i smile and nod and move on,if its some dj who just came out the bed room ill listen and if its something useful ill take it in. if its a dj of long standing who knows what there saying ill take in and learn from it and try to make myself a better dj from it

“I had a chick come up to me one time saying that “this isn’t chicago house”, even though it wasn’t supposed to be.”

that’s really funny 😀

I’ll take an “honest” criticism in, regardless of whether the person criticising is a DJ himself or not, a guy who knows the technicalities or not. See, I try to live by the principle that creativity should not be elit – ised. If a guy tastes food and he doesnt like it, he doesnt like it – he is entitled to his opinion even if he is not a chef or doesnt know how to cook at all. Likewise, if a guy listening to my music/DJing doesnt like it, he doesnt like it. I’ll of course take into consideration his general taste in music (if I can), and if it coincides with mine, then I’ll have to take his criticism under consideration.

As for the “why”…I prefer to figure it out myself because in the case of a simple listener the truth is most of the times he doesnt know why he doesnt like it – i will ask for “why” though if the guy criticising is a DJ-producer.
