Was your first demo perfect?

When you put out your first demo, was it absolutly perfect without any little problems at all. Also, what are the best programs to use on a computer to record a demo? Or if this is a subject that has been beaten to death, please post any links to any related subjects.

If you're a PC user I'd recommend u to use Soundforge or CD Spin Doctor 2 if you're a Mac user !

Yes, it was pretty much perfect. Keep trying until you get it perfect because if you do get hired, you need to be able to back up ur skills.

Some people's are perfect, some have few imperfections. Check out the amateur DJs promotion section to see what i mean.

This may not be all that helpful in answering your question, but I have yet to produce anything that I consider to be "perfect" for demo/compilation purposes. I think we are all our own harshest critics, and I know that I generally pick my mixes apart to death...

very true. anytime i record something i listen to the transitions over and over again. i criticize them so much, everything about eqs, volume, phrase and beatmatching and well. everything! when my friends here my mixes they dont notice what i may have done less than perfect, since of course i know the records and songs way better than them. what kibon says is true, we generally are our own harshest critics

Both of these posts are right-on. I myself have recorded over 130 mixes, but I do not consider a single one of them to be perfect. Hell, several of them were edited to death. There's always room for improvement though, so I personallly don't consider a perfect mix to be a reality unless you have a very, very specific idea in mind of what you want that mix to be like.

The better you become as a DJ, you will find your definition of perfect changing. What you accept as a new cat is totally different to what you hear when you have been doing it for years.

Nobody does a perfect demo first time round unless they do it on a PC and you would have to question even that.

Cheers
