Eli5 – What is a DJ like Tiesto actually doing when performing a live show?

675 views

I don’t really know much about the process of remixing a song but I can imagine it is a process that is like editing a video – layering tracks, adding beats, etc. They are clearly not doing that kind of editing live so they are basically playing something that’s already had some amount of that already done.

So what are they doing live besides maybe mixing between songs?

I just don’t understand what all the knob fiddling is about.

They just press play and listen to audiobooks on the headphones for the entirety of the show.
