I don't practice nearly as much as I really should...I would said that I play on average 2-3 hrs a week, that includes doing my live show on TAW....Got loads of work at the moment so when that quietens down then hopefully I'll get back and go for 1hr or so a day.

Cheerz,
Mike Mackay.

Depends, Sometimes, I really don't wanna play, so I just listen to music... But, I think I must spin about 15 hours a week...

i used to play everyday

but then i realized when im playing at home and i play like everyday...i spin like shit

i guess its because it becomes more of a routine rather than something im all hyped up to do

so now i only spin when i get the urge to...and now whenever i play in my basement i find myself becoming more and more creative and my mixing is becoming a lot more flawless

so sometimes ill spin for like 1 1/2 hours one day and that's it for the week...other times i won't play for almost 2 weeks...it all depends on if i have any gigs coming up and if i bought any new vinyl

Now thats what I do too. It becomes a routine and then you suck. When you don't like what you do, you begin to suck at it and when you really feel the need, you're creative...

I think alot of people have that feeling.

Now that's where I disagree with ya. It's totally pointless to do that. I usually hear it afer mixing 2 tracks weter i suck or not. When I suck, I stop mixing, and just lay back to just listen to music. But ofcuz its thrue that the more you practise, the better you get. It's also wise to record your mixes, and listen to them. Now, you could say: "why don't you record those BAD mixes you make when you're not doing it very well"
Well, cuz I don't learn from that. I make the stupidest mestakes, hit the wrong buttons and eventually, it sounds like shit. Those mestakes are mestakes I don't usually make, and I shouldn't be making due to my gained skills...

yep ur right..
after some mixing u know how to mix and its really pointless to mix everyday..
i got no equpiment and i went to a friend and in the first time i mixed i got some perfect beatmixing and all..
when ill have equipment ill test myself ;]

Naa, mixing everyday does have a point, but when you feel your doing much worse than otherwise, you better stop. cuz
1) You get hopeless
2) you lose courage to do it everyday
3) its a pointless waiste of time

i mix for an 30 mins/day, sometimes i dun even mix for weeks but i got low attention span...plus having confidence helps in practicin long sessions i think. Maybe even a change of venue, but like its been said before mixin by urself pretty much sux!

Usually if i have quite free time i spin about 2 hours a day but there are also some period when i have to do other important things and i spin only few hours...
