Then DJing and making music are two different things. There is a demand for guys who play records in a continous mix because ppl like it. A pianist with 30 years of training who can play blindfolded will not satisfy the needs of those ppl. In that context he sucks, but that does of course not mean that being good at playing piano is shit, it's just a different thing.


You really do make some of the most quality posts on this forum.

You def. have no idea about DJing, you might as well drink some poison and go to sleep.

You're saying as a dj you have to "act?" Well, i hate posers man. I don't go to a club to see an "overweight chump" play 80's choons, I go to a club to have a good time and get some proper education.

Djs have it easier than musicians? It's like separating chlorophyll from plants. Djs are musicians, most of what you call "djs", usually have their own studio and make their own tracks. The mere action of composing and writing makes you a musician, the whole idea of arranging music, mixing, eq'ing and playing for the entertainment of others, makes you a musician. Therefore, djs are musicians...

I've seen straight faced djs that bring the house down every night they play. Djing is not easy, you can play cheesy records all the time, that's easy but all it makes you is a freakin sheep.

Once you're looking under the kompakt back catalog and digging for "Guerilla records" on your basement, or playing that long lost track on WARP you can consider yourself DECENT.

Go to bed...

Very true, but people with one leg get a bionic one, and DJ's who can't mix get Traktor or Albeton

Both Musician's amd DJ's are entertainers. They use their skills to take people on a journey and help them enjoy music. Each has it's own set of skills.

I am a musician and a DJ, and trust me, neither one is easier than the other, they both require extreme dedication and passion. Lord knows, they're not the best paying jobs in the world!

A shit DJ is a shit DJ. Ableton or Traktor aren't worth shit if you don't have a clue as to what you're doing.

Traktor and Ableton do not turn mixer knobs for you.

Pete Tong doesn't need to mix well. He is probably the most influential person in EDM of all time.
