I have been wanting to start doing this. I've been wanting to personalize the DJ process a bit more and start editing some of the tracks I really like to mix with. Usually there is just small arrangement changes I want to make to work something more into my style or cut out certain sections to shorten some longer tracks. I feel like it is also a way to really get more involved and creative with the process and really know your tracks inside and out if you are altering them.
I know a lot of DJs and producers will DJ exclusively with original material, remixes, and custom edits of other people's tracks when they play out live and I think there is something to be said for that. So I'm wondering if many of you do this and what types of changes you make to enhance or fit a track to your style. There is also something to be said for keeping the original mix as it was produced and mastered so I'm interested to hear both sides.
As a bonus maybe post up some of your track edits along with a link to the original, I would be curious what they sound like side by side.
