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.

Not much tbh as most of them already planned
I’m huge fan of Armin and Above&Beyond, most of their sets already set (duh). Sometimes they adjust the sound here and there to match the crowd, if they want more of that particular part you don’t simply press repeat right?
And the actual thing they do is smoothen the switching between tracks (as they has different bpm so it doesn’t sound abrupt). If you ever watch their live sets, you can hardly notice the switching between them. It’s so smooth and doesn’t break the dancing mood
Some DJs do things energetically just to live up the mood, you can’t simply dance to DJs that only sits there and push the play button
But the most important thing is that they produce those tracks, and making a good music with their own style is a talent of its own. Many people ridicule this kind of thing and refuse to acknowledge music if it’s not actual band playing on stage or metal
I’m not a musician or anyone with experience, and I believe they got much more in stage than what I tried to explain
