    Hi!

    I started mixing a few months back, and I still consider myself a novice at best. If there is one thing I have learned, it is to listen back on your music. Share your successes and your failures. People can listen to your great mixes, and you’ll never hear a word about it. If you share the stuff you’d like feedback on – that’s where the real value lies.

    Getting feedback on your work, good and bad, is vital to your progress. For me, having people give me critical feedback has been very valuable to my development. When you’re in the “zone” while mixing, you only see your side of things. Listening back to it later, again and again, you’ll eventually spot your own flaws, and be able to learn from that as well.

    Hey Tord,
    Thanks for the reply.

    I agree with what you’re saying. Feedback is important.
    For good and “need to improve” (as we like to say at work instead of “bad”) stuff.

    Thinking about this once more, I would add another argument why I should upload it.
    The main reason I am uploading those sets is to share the music I love with others.
    So bad mixes here and there shouldn’t hold me from sharing.

    Hope this question helps others.

    Cheers,

    (and I just noticed my typo. I meant feeling, not filling …)

    I totaly agree with Tord. Not to forget that WE as Djs are trained to hear the details of mixing but most of the general audience wont even hear it… Most likely other Djs will hear it and kindly give you constructive comments. They’ve been there, so they can relate to how you feel about it. It’s all good and a year later you will be able to see your own progression. Remember Djing should be all about having fun!

    Enjoy!

    I know I’ve chimed in late here but definitely upload your mixes no matter how good or bad! I was speaking to someone recently and they said, “Oh I’d love to hear some of your stuff” and after looking through mixes I’ve published going way back from when i started until now, It’s so ridiculously valuable!

    Number 1) It made me say hang on its been a while since I’ve posted anything I’m really proud of
    &
    Number 2) I’m so glad I’ve posted the imperfect ones because it really does show how far I’ve come as a DJ since I’ve first started!

    My advice would be to always upload the mixes! They’re so valuable and too valuable to leave sitting in a folder on your desktop!

    Best of luck in the future guys!
