For those who create their own loops, one shot samples and tracks and add them to their DJ sets. Do you have them mastered first? I assume there would be a difference between for example, a loop that you made that hasn't been mastered and someone's else's track that has been. More so utilizing stems or individual tracks of your own song that hasn't gone through the mastering process. You can remix with stems or all the individual tracks on the fly but you'd be lacking the extra polish of the track being mastered.

So, is this made up for in plugins? Like if I am DJing with Ableton, add certain plugins to the track or master 2-channel out. I started thinking about this watching a tutorial on bringing in your loops from Maschine to Traktor Remix Decks. Drag n Drop is nice and all but it's obvious, for example, unmastered drums sound weaker than mastered ones. Or am I over thinking this?
