Respecting the song by mixing with outros?

[DISaS73R]

I'm afraid I don't understand what you're trying to say?

[SlvrDragon50]

I don't really know what his first question is asking...

Some songs can certainly become boring if they have the exact same parts repeating in the first and second half, but the best productions usually have some differences which make it more enjoyable.

I'll definitely mix out early if it's repetitive, and I don't believe the second half is bringing anything new to the table. Otherwise, I'll play through.

A lot of older DJ's philosophy is that tracks should be played their full length and with minimum of effects added afaik

That's not true...it all depends on what style of tunes you are playing. You have to maintain a flow and groove. That is your job as a DJ. I am a "older" and have no problem moving tracks in and out. Alot of newer DJs can't stand there for 3 or 4 minutes while the meat of a song plays. They want to me the center of the music and not let their tracks selection and mixing skills speak for themselves...

Or they think their mixing skills are more important than the music.

My mixing skills are not as important as the music, but then I think about people like "2manyDJs" and yeah, his mixing skills are as important to the music because let's face it, who here would ever dance to Dolly Parton normally.
