youre reminded of mixing while you try to keep the speedo exactly on the sped limit (beatmatching. think of the pedal as the pitch fader, the needle as deck b and the speed limit as deck a)

You know you're a DJ when you're thinking of tracks to beatmatch to the ticking of the clock when you can't sleep.
you run from one side of ur day job into the lobby because u hear the faint sounds of a song youve heard sampled but cant place what remix it was...
Your boss gets you mixing in your work notebook at your dayjob with traktor pro and a mouse :D
....
Your boss ask you to hear what you are mixing and ask to learn how to mix with traktor :D :D :D
lol
You're trying to beatmatch indicator lights in your mind
when you go to the club and notice every single mistake the DJ makes throughout the night.
you know how some people mess around with a cue point and make a beat out of it before they hit play?
select a textbox and hit backspace, i tried the cuepoint thing
I'm guilty of this one.Quote:

When you can guess a song by the first bar of its intro (even if it's just a drum beat).
When you can't just listen to music anymore, and your brain automatically over analyzes it, no matter what it is.

also when i actually get to run the lines i sometimes fiddle with the settings to get different 'rhythms' from my machines to mix with each other.

OR
It's one of the greatest moments of the week/ month/ year when you have the radio on and at the same time your cell phone rings and the two tunes mix together.

when you own 7 remixes of a tune but not the original (couse it sux and was made better by guys on soundcloud)
when you dont want to "juggle" your girlfriend after some beer BUT your vci100
when you only flush the toilet when it seems to fit the mood of the track playing on your set you are listening to
You can name six different kinds of Techno and three types of Electro.
You instinctively listen for the outro mix point on every piece of music you hear, including pop and rock tracks, mentally inserting a beat to hear how you can keep the energy level. (Did that with Train this morning)
You hear usable loops in the soundtracks of adverts.
Driving over a railroad crossing gives you an idea for a breakbeat.
when u go to a house party and wish you brought your dj gear as a "pauly d" is on the decks

whenever you hear an interesting or unusual sound, first thing that comes to mind is "Woah, that would make a really cool sample!"
I do that! Even at work! :rolleyes:Quote:
