Spot on. Experimenting can bring much better results than preparation. Not to mention that it also helps with b2bs and playing new tunes.Quote:

That all sounds rather complicated. Just mix, and if it sounds shit, try again. Rinse, repeat.
Neither way is wroing. It's just a personality thing.
For me, jamming is specifically for finding some very "happy coincidences". These are great - but once I've had one of these "happy coincidences", I methodically go about trying to recreate it with different tunes. That's where having a very methodical approach pays off.
Personally, I'd never like to rely on stumbling upon a couple of "happy coincidences" during a performance.
A lot of great DJ's will tell you that DJ'ing is 90% preparation (practice), and 10% execution (performance). Make your mistakes during the preparation, and only bring your proven elements to the execution.
Track structure is key
Just spam the flanger if you obviously mess up a mix (Protip: The audience could give a toss, unless they are Dj's)
hahahahahahahahahahah
Mixing??
