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.

I went to see Hot Chip, and it was clear most of them were doing busy work while playing songs. If you watched a certain member you would see them play a certain synth part, then look really thoughtful as they carefully moves knobs around while nothing changed.
I’m sure there’s stuff going on I’m not aware of but there’s no way 5 guys need to be that busy to make that music live. Fair play though I’d do the same in their situation.
