Mixmag had a joke once about DJs who pretended to play every track through minute adjustments to the treble knob. It really is just to make them look busy, and is probably down to insecurity about what they're doing.

Originally posted by Guest Ever watch a dj that keeps fiddling with the mixer (or controller) even though they're not really doing anything? I never understood this. A track can only be EQ'ed so perfectly and then after that there's really no point in fucking with everything. I'll see if I can find an example on youtube

hahahahaha. word.
