One thing you learn NEVER to do is push the platter with your hand - always use the pitch slider unless you're confident about mot making it slur when you do it. if you really get in a mess, you might have to 'push' it, but then you know it's totally noticable and you should start your mix again. things like this, promoters definitely notice. if your names jeff mills and your putting in one record each twenty seconds, i can understand it but if you're not - you HAVE to be tighter.
my advice is to do the same mix AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN. spend all week doing it - every day every second. be a perfectionist. do every change in volume level methodically. plan everything if you have to but everything must be as tight and clinic as a robot. that's techno.
then you'll have a CD that you will be so confident with, you'll want to post it on every site across the world and send it to every promoter you can think of. i guarantee it.
