    Practice.
    dont alter the playing track unless you really have to, cue up in you phones and set tempo/ pitch on new tune until it holds as you are doing now. Tempo / pitch is now set so dont touch that slider!
    Now stop the new track (If you want – sometimes you strike lucky) and cue up the new track to the beat you want to start the mix on.. hit play, when you are at the right point on the old track, bring in, nudge if its out of phase – simples!

    So if I could CHOOSE what kind of feedback to receive, I would always prefer 100% brutal honesty versus a nonverbal response to peacing out and coming back whenever the next DJ is on.

    The emptying of dancefloors will ALWAYS happen from time time, dont take it to heart, just keep going..

    I think i have mentioned this on here before, a few year back my mates ran a night in Liverpool – Hazydays
    It was always a certain flavour of choons and one night it was arranged for Graham Park (Yeah THE Graham Park ) to guest DJ, and he EMPTIED the downstairs room! If it can happen to superstar big names, it can sure happen to us!
    I’ll not elaborate why i think he emptied the room, last time a few on these boards were baying for my blood!

    Ahh – i think you miss understand, Emma, i was using the word “Criticism” in its literal sense, which can mean good or bad.. positive critiscism is good, negative bad if you get what i mean!
    People often mistake the word criticism to mean only the bad side, a fault of the media i guess?
    Certainly no bashing or offence intended here..
    And to reinforce my earlier post, i’ll only accept bad criticism if it is Valid, not just someone saying ” That Sucks”

    I disagree on Boy George.. His mixing could be hit and miss at the best of times, but the passion and choon selection was always 100% and sometimes, just sometimes, that can outweigh technically brilliant mixing skills but godawful tunes

    Hilton? Set to ignore and carry on, i’m afraid..

    I find using Mixcloud / Soundcloud and listening to other DJ’s mixes gives me some of the best ideas for new tracks to look out for..

    Constructive critiscism? Hell yeah i’m all for that, otherwise how do we improve. And that applies to all walks of life, not just work.
    Remember that criticism can be positive or negative. If something is good, let me know and in what what way, if something can be improved, again the same applies. If something is dire, tell me- its far kinder then lies so as not to hutrt any feelings! But also tell me why you think its its dire
    But bitchin for bitchin’s sake? Without giving a valid reason?
    My opinion of such a person is instantly zero. I’ll not even register any word that’s issued from someone like that. That kind of person is nothing to me

    Fxn And DJ Max D both hit the nail squarely on the head
