I'm not talking about the trains colliding type but more so the type where the average clubber/listener won't really notice but as a dj, its the biggest deal ever.
are they a deal breaker? |

Reworded because I think some people were understanding what I was saying differently than I meant it:
On a demo, yes it is a big deal. In a club, absolutely not a big deal and 90%+ of folks won't even notice or care. (IMO) |

| I would think they exact opposite.. Your general populus are going to be too drunk to care or even hear.. The promoter, if he is really a passionate EDM follower and maybe a trainspooter.. he might care more |

generally it's best not to up |

I think we're saying the same thing. If you f* up live (but too bad) in a club setting, you might get a few people who might be like "that was a bit off, i think, at least i thought i heard it". But they'll get over it quickly. However, on a demo, the ability to rewind your performance makes it easier to spot flaws.
Always put your best foot forward. |

Eh. If I send out promos to promoters, I make sure it's spot on.
You don't know how critical the guy is going to be, so better safe than sorry.
If you're going to do something, at least do it well |

| a slight flaw adds character imo. reminds you you are listening to a real human instead of a boring ableton mix. if promoters let little flaws where you have had to correct the mix affect their selection then the tunes you are palying dont grab him enough. its all about the tunes imo. |

In a club no one notices stupid mistakes i should know the majority in clubs dont have a clue about mixing you can get pretty slack with it. |

| practice, pre-arrange, edit out your ups, hell you could even sequence the whole thing in ableton, just make sure you put out the best demo possible AND you can back it up live. |

| Honestly, if someone hands me a demo with train wrecking on it, I trash it. I understand people trainwreck, hell, call me Amtrak. But take more pride in your work when you are showcasing yourself to get more work (catch my drift?). |

very much agree with that ;)
small beatmatching mistakes makes the mix sound "live" |

you don't put out your resume with a little typo on it "to give it that little touch of character"
a demo is like your dj resume, you want to put your best foot forward |
