    I look at it two ways:

    1) If people are coming to hear the DJ, plan your set…
    2) If you putting it out there for them to listen to, Don’t plan, feel the crowd.

    You always have your bangers in your DJ set, what you end up resulting to is a set that you’ve either played or wanted to play.

    I personally plan my sets…1 hour at a time, with a 5, 10 and 15 minute set. works for me…

    Oh yah totally I get it. So you’ve done your prep (warping, cue point setting etc) on all the tracks you’ll think will go off but you’re still picking and choosing out of the playlist folder. That leads me to think why don’t you just have all the tracks chilling in session view good to go instead of dragging them over one by one? I mean you’ve already prepp’d them so if they’re all in rows in session view you could pick and choose.
    As a side question, are you incorporating any of your own stuff in there? I read before that you’re a musician and I thought you might be chucking in your own loops, samples, and synth lines in tandem with the tracks?

    Hahaha, because I only have Ableton 7 LE so there’s a limited number of tracks you can have in session view!
