Looking for tips on practicing

Hey DJTT,

I’m looking for some tips for practicing mixing. I’ve been mixing for about a year now but I want to step up my game. I am using traktor 2 pro with the NI S2. Most of what I will be mixing is house and moombahton with a little bit of dubstep. Any help is appreciated you can hear one of my mixes here

There’s no secret to practicing, just have to do it and keep at it and keep listening to other peoples mixes as well

Yes. Protip for practicing: Practice :smiley:

Perfect practice makes perfect. Just make sure you’re practicing correctly and not developing bad habits.

Look up what ‘deliberate practice’ means…

You want to practice the right things:

  • Record yourself, and listen back, did it sound good?
  • Work on your sets progression, just dont play any track at any time.
    -Work on changing a set depending on a crowd (or a pretend one)

and ill say it again, record your sets… and listen back.

That’s good advice right there

If you record yourself, and your mix sounds 100% perfect, listen to it again, and find the subtle things that can be worked on. DJing is an art, and artists will never be 100% happy with their creations. Find something to work on, and make it better.
