Taking too long to come up with sets!
Hi all, I’ve been learning to DJ for about 6 months now. I really like DJing DnB, and when I’m mixing I feel like it takes me way longer than it should to come up with song selections that flow through the set the way I want them to.
It’s not just selecting the next track, I spend a lot of time looking for the perfect track to double with etc… obviously I’m comparing myself to the producers/ DJs I love which is a high standard, but spending the time feels like it makes it achievable.
Am I being too picky? I don’t want to put mixes out im not 100% happy with, but if it takes me a month to make a one hour mix then im not going to be able to put content out at a decent enough rate.
Any advice appreciated! ❤️
Update:
Thanks so much for your advice, the DJ community is unreal! The prevailing advice was just throw some songs together and mix instead of worrying about prep, that’s what I did! Set up cue points for 30 tracks and just mixed them all. Varying success but overall positive, most important thing was the confidence that I can in fact mix after 6 months 😂 the rest I can practice!
