Staying organized is key to being a great DJ.

I know that statement lacks all reference to inherent talent. Isn’t it the hours of practice, love for the art of DJ-ing, the music, reading the audience – all of that should be key to being a great DJ, right? Or course it is, and there’s no way I’m going to argue otherwise.

But, you can have all the talent in the world. If you’re not organized with your collection, careful about keeping your software updated, Staying in tune to the newest dj technology and careful about keeping your equipment in top shape, your performance as a DJ is going to suffer.

Here’s another reminder for you: Native Instruments recently released an update to Traktor that “allows anyone to see the full Stems files.”
