EDIT:
How often do you record sets per month? Or how often in a month do you play live somewhere? (or per week, if that often.)

I don't play out anywhere yet, but get a lot of good practice recording an average of 5 or 6 sets per month (and about 8 this month).

I'm curious...anyone?

when i am just messing around with my tables by mixing 2 to 3 songs and playing with the EQ/ other effects i will not record.

however, anytime i do set (by set i mean mix 5 or more records) i will record it. if any of you ever played a sport during college/high school you know that after every game you have to watch video tape of yourself and you can really see what you did wrong. i think its the same with djing. i usually listen to every set the day or the day after i record and and trying to see where i messed up my timing or where my beat matching went off. it is really really helpful.

also, if you record a set, listen to it once, put it away for a week, and then listen to it a week later... and if its still good, then youve got yourself a nice set right there.

Yep. My speakers are actually hooked up through my computer....so recording is as simple as opening cool edit and pressing record. And I do that every time I'm playing more than like 40 minutes. You never know when you'll play an amazing set. Plus...it's always good to hear yourself.

Not to mention - if I record all the time, then it's no big deal. Back in the day when I only recorded with the intention of making a cd I would get...i guess nervous and i would always fuck it up.

So I record every time basicaly.

always ... you might beat a tiesto or a pvd you never know ..

i have a minidisk recorder hooked up to my decks, so i record everything i do on them. then i usually listen to that in the car, walking around campus, etc... i like MDs cuz you can just keep recording over them, gives me a chance to hear my mistakes better and improve. when i get something i like, i transfer it to my computer, and will sometimes burn it to a CD
