When evaluating a set, I usually listen to the mix, as well as the song selection. The songs have to fit in key and the set has to have a direction, not just random, song playing.
A dj is only as good as his last track. |

| Not sure exactly what your asking, but if you just wanna know if a set is good, its todo with both the flow and how well the beats are matched. |

my evaluation depends on what I'm listening to... if Progressive or Trance maybe I'll pay more attention to beats and EQing, while Funkin' House/Techno I'll be interested in the use of Effects and acapellas/layering (obviously, tracks must be beatmatched etc but I won't bash Morillo or Dave Clarke for a trainweck in the middle of all that's goin' on, while I may be more demanding beatmatching-wise for Prog DJs).
But obviously all sets must have a direction, it must flow, whatever the genre is :) |

firstly u should know what djiing involves and wat the dj is actually trying to do out there..eg beat/phrase matching, key changes, no clashes of melodies/vocals...
what sounds good to an untrained ear may sound absolutely e to a trained one. And if u reckon you have a pair of 'seasoned-by-trance-ears', then chances are .. if it sounds good it is good.
my 2 cents

Just keep listening to sets, eventually you’ll be able to work it out yourself. ;) |
