lol, you're right you wouldn't be able to do that with a 2 channel mixer for the exact reason you gave, unless it had a matrix input assign (where you can put any input on any channel, like the dn-x1500 has but then that's a 4 channel mixer anyway).

I was talking about layering tracks together etc, which you'd obviously also need a 3 or 4 channel mixer for.

Is it just me, or is this guy forever playing ith his EQs... and watch as he turns some of those knobs... his back must be under a lot of stress getting that knob to turns.... (especially when he's playing with the bass).

I have noticed this a bit.
I went to a bar a few weeks ago, and the dj there was brilliant, and half the time early on in the night he'd slap a track on and sit for a minute or two if it was a long track and sip a pint.

I lol'd

to be fair...some physical movement along with twisting the eqs doesn't seem that out of place. i mean, you see djs who rock their fists to the beat (does their banging really make the bass kick louder?) or djs who punch at each breakbeat during the breakdown...on some primitive level, you feel as if the dj is creating the sound from the visual cues. simple example would be if the tune is getting higher in pitch/volume/energy...the dj naturally raises his arms. ever wonder why everybody follows? if you are twisting the eqs to get a dramatic effect...why the hell can't you twist your body with it?

on another point, can't remember where i read it, but eq'ing the track for effect can be quite dramatic in that when you cut out the bass and push up the highs...you are in essence creating an almost painful sound due to how we hear things. therefore it is only natural to scrunch up your face in agony/ecstasy.

(but yes, i do agree some djs are way out of hand...too much of anything is never a good thing)

"Especially you" I said.
"You are virtually the ring leader, the way I see it."
Then, I blew out the candle.

totally agree! sometimes my friend just barely touches the knobs for like 2 minutes during a mix. He just taps the knob so as to make it looks as if he's doing something.

do some drugs
plan the rest of ur set
dance a bit
play around with effects
maybe do a bit of cutting

keep it simple id say
