I am not moving forward with skills

Not trying to be harsh or negative, nothing wrong with a hobbyist, just wouldn't want someone to drop thousands on a setup to just sell it later, see it much too often.

Here's a good example (from another thread, unrelated): when someone wants to save a buck and hires their friend with a consumer-level camera and free editing software...does this make the bar look appealing?

The misstake they've done here is to equate 'expensive equipment' with 'proffessional'. Both photography/filming and DJing takes skill, no doubt, but it's a skill that can be learnt by practice, you're not born with some inherent affinity for mixing tunes or taking pictures. Some may have an easier time learning it, sure, but I really don't think that there's some cosmic lottery that says what you can and can't learn.

I agree with you to a point, Cybertrash, but how do you explain those who are better than others even though they have put the equal amount of practice time in? Of course some individuals are born with certain or specific affinities. Some are naturally intellectual, others are artistically creative, some are born with rhythm, others are tone deaf...

As I mentioned, some might have an easier time learning, but I honestly believe that practically everybody can become good at it given enough practice.

There might be some difference in the absolute top field, like not everybody can become DJ Q-bert, no matter how much they practice, but I'm not entirely convinced.

Biggest problem I noticed with your mix is that the levels are all off, some tracks are significantly louder than others and vice versa.
