| 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
