27) Best tip that you learnt this year for your Djing techniques or music composition:
Stargliders: It was great to visit Armada music masterclass during ADE 2016 by Armin Van Buuren and Fedde Le Grand... I (Evgeny) can say about some special things and plugins they've discussed, but during Fedde's class I got a thought the most important is always be attentive to the details in the track. If you lose any detail that would affect the overall picture. So don't be afraid to be a perfectionist and a geek in a good way.
