No. They are completely different things.

Okay. I don't know much myself, so I'm trying to learn stuff.
But bands convey their music in one way, by playing their instruments.
DJ's convey the music by playing it and mix it and whatnot. It's just a really different thing and probably ALOT easier than actually playing the instruments, I don't know... I've never DJed before.

at least she can sing. Does Tiesto sing? NO! That's my proof.

People with no legs might find it difficult to run?

Originally posted by Beethoven My point is: learning how to be a DJ is far more easy than any other musical intstrument.

Why are your trying to compare dj'ing on a set of turntables with the playing of a musical instrument, for a start playing records is use of pre-recorded music whereas an instrument is live. Your comparison is as flawed as your use of the english language. Anyone who compares dj'ing to playing the piano as one in the same thing is seriously retarded, there like chalk and cheese.

You can't compare DJing to playing an instrument. DJing involves so much more than mixing. It's 99% mental work. You have to be an expert in the field, you have to know and own thousands of tracks, and that means you have to spend hours and hours every week with your nose in obscure music catalogs going through hordes of crap tunes just to find one. You need a good sense of what music works when and where and how to place them in a mix. (and by the way, all of this is exactly why Tiesto is not a good DJ by any standards).
