| Well, interruptions and heat I can deal and have dealt with. If I'm in the middle of a mix I will ignore almost everything and anything unless it's life threatening. The things that get me the most are fatigue, mood (if I'm in a depressed mood I mix like ), and alcohol. Once I mixed fairly drunk and recorded it and all the while I was mixing I thought I was doing awesomely, then when I listened to the recording it was complete and utter e. So when I mix it's only a red bull or two, an occasional beer, and water until I'm done. |

Too much caffeine :(
When I'm depressed I play really emotional sets, when I'm happy I play very uplifting.
Never had a problem with heat. And while playing at parties I always find the room to be cool, even though it might be 30ºC+ in there .lol |

1. Getting too much sleep, like 9+ hours -- something about it just makes me really bad at beatmatching.
2. Not knowing the tunes well enough to know when to start mixing into/out of them
3. Hunger! |

| changing genres, when you've mixed rnb for a week, and then you want to go back to trance. I forget which beat to cue on. |

Heat really gets to me... distractions, not so much.. just yesterday, my mom came into my room while I was just starting the transistion and while she was talking to me, I was EQing at the same time and listening to what she was telling me... All I know is that it was a good transistion and I did what she asked me to do after I was done mixing.
1. Heat
2. Tired
3. Not interested in mixing (I can ALWAYS feel like listening to trance, but for some reason there are times when I just can't be assed to DJ)... its wierd.. if that feeling was to hit me on a night where I had a gig to do, I think I would be ed cuz I would spin an absolute set. |
