    the way i've always looked at it, djing live and making a mixtape are two wholly separate things. a band goes into the studio and meticulously records their album, doing many takes and overdubs and getting it exactly the way they want it. it's not that they can't perform the whole song live all the way thru, they're two different things experienced in different ways. now, if you go and get gigs based on something so far off from what you're able to achieve live, that's a different story, but i expect a mixtape to be near perfect while live i'm aware that mistakes will likely be made. loud sound systems mask a lot of errors anyway.
