Something that is taken into less consideration these days. Everyone wants to be a know-it-all instead of enjoying the music for what it is.

What? djing is just about playing good music.

You guys make it sound like it takes a 6th sense to dj.

You're correct in saying that "djing is about playing good music" but not everyone has a sense of what is "good" for the right time/place. So in a way, it does take a bit of a 6th sense. Anyone can learn how to beatmatch and figure out how to put tracks together in a pleasing way. But not everyone can read the certain atmosphere of a party and now what to play when, and most importantly, when to switch it up if it gets stale.

I don't think reading an atmosphere takes any special skills, more like common sense and good judgement.

Which, I guess, in todays world, could be considered special skills

Perhaps, and it makes sense. But experience tells me that prearranged sets = slight boredom.

For a radio show? Hell no. It's completely different.

A lot of live sets that work amazingly well can actually bore you to tears if you listen to them at home. It's a totally different listening experience.

A lot of DJs think this and then fall flat on their face at reading the crowd.

Anyhow, last I heard peeps like Armin and Markus use Ableton use Ableton and can do their shows in like 10-20 minutes. Saves them a lot of time...lets them just do their show quickly while on a flight or something. I could be wrong, just what I heard.
