    Actually, what I implied by my usage of the word “proffesional” is that literally its root word is “proffesion” which I always thought (not a native english speaker) is synonymous to “work” only a bit more “formal”. As such, I always thought people often mistaken the word profesional” with ” a guy GOOD at his profession”. However perhaps Im mistaken, because I just looked it up and it seems like the word certainly appears to have some sort of “quality” stamp to it…..

    Anyyyyywayyyys, probably wrong usage of words on my behalf, but I think in the end, we are on the same path! 😉

    I tend to approach my live mixes with as much professionalism as any other DJ would. (Or in my opinion, should.) What it sort of comes down to, I guess, is that just because it’s a hobby, doesn’t mean you don’t need to take it seriously. With the side note, that it is possible to have fun, while still being dedicated.

    .

    I understand what you mean “profesionalism” here, and I fully agree. In fact I have often got into “verbal fights” with guys when they dont deal with the required seriousness and dedication – profesionalism with the excuse:
    “Pffff, who gives a ….Im a nobody anways”…My reply always is: “And you will continue to be, being in such a mindframe”.

    I’m not a native speaker either, I think you may have meant it more as someone in the DJ profession.
    But yeah, we’re on the same page. 🙂

    Spot on! Completely agree!

    And it’s also one of the key factors in the mixing process, as a DJ, when something goes wrong, you need to take action (be decisive). If you don’t take it seriously, if you don’t take yourself seriously, when you mess up… Well, your point has been proven! 😉

    On a side note, ultimately, it’s about the person themselves: “Who gives a …”; if you don’t care for/about yourself, why would anyone else do? But as much as I like psychology…we’re getting off-topic :p
