some of my home mixes were fully pre-planned, most weren't - there was no difference in feedback...

not planning anything more than which records that i want to be in the mix. like, im going through some vinyls before playing, and just pick out records that i want to use in the mix. but it doesn't mean that i won't use any others i've not picked out on before hand, it's just that some records are a must

Mine all depend on my mood with no preplanning.

I'll completely pre-plan most sets to ensure that my mixes are in key, there's not huge jumps between sound types, I know the best cue points, etc. It takes absolutely ages to sort evertyhing out & some of the process does get tedious.

I've played blues guitar since I was a kid, where tight rhythm & perfect note choice is essential to sounding good. Guess this has made me so banal about putting a set together.

some parts were sort of pre-planned - when i played out i found that some record combinations just fitted well, so i just kept those records together.
but i have to admit that i did a first run with this one which i wasn't satisfied with.
so i recorded a second session which in some places turned out to be quite different and very much extended...
