| I 'mixed' for the first time when I was 8 or something (my neigbour has equipment), I wanted to be a DJ then, but for some reason music kinde moved to the background of my life (then I wanted to get into the computerbusiness or gamingindustry or become a vet). 2 years ago I started to listen heavy to elecronic music again, and now about 6 moths ago I bought a vmx300 and 2 cdj100s, and 2 months ago a stanton80. |

bull.
It depends what you mean by good. It doesn't take 6 years to be throwing down quality sets. Maybe if you touch the turntables like once a year ;).
Even after a few months you should be able to put down sets that aren't bad to listen to. Sure there'll probably be a few mess ups, but they should be small. And you only get better from there. |

Been spinning the tables for almost 1.5 years. As for how long you need to spin to get good, well, I remember listening to the sets I did three months after I got the tables, thinking they were really good. Listening to them now, they sound way worse than I remember. So the thing is, the common crowd of people that has never been DJing may think that you're mixing well, while a professional DJ may think otherwise.
Hour-wise I would guess anywhere from 200 hours + behind the wheels to advance to a semi-professional level. You know when you're ready to play out when you have confidence in what you're doing, like when I do a mix nowadays I'm never worried that it won't sound good, because it kind of goes automatically (of course everyone makes a mistake now and then). |

That is true...
I've been spinning 5 or 6 months. While my girlfriend and some of my friends may think I've put together some pretty amazing sets, and I definitely like listening to them...i'm sure if tiesto or someone heard my stuff they'd think it absolute .
And listening to my sets from a few months ago..he's right.
I'm also not as consistent as I'd like to be. I kind of have good days and bad days. I'm sure that'll go away with more experience. |
