What exactly does "programming your set mean?"
Is this figuring out your song choice in a certain order before presenting or what ?
HAPPY EASTER! |

| choosing song selection and transitions works best with ableton. Doing it with cdjs just gives you that live feel. |

| it's a fancier word for the trackselection. you should know your tracks so you know what should go where and how to play the mix out for the best result. |

| I remember when I was younger (I'm only 20) I remember reading somewhere, that dj's are supposed to "read" the audience and choose track selection off hand?!? Does this ring a bell? So it seems people "program their sets" these days. Do people still try to read the audience etc... |

Yeah thats about right. Programming is good for only promo mixes. |

| It seems as though alot of big names program their sets, before playing it out to an audience. |

It goes both ways.
You can read the audience, but if you read and think too hard, you might just not know what to play next.
I just go with the flow when it comes to spinning live. Test out a few tracks, maybe one or two and go from there. |

Instinct, intuition, and knowing your tracks. |

| So programming before your set and during your set is ok?? (The questions is mostly about the before part.) |

The only time I ever pre programmed was my first set in public because I was very nervous. |
