    Leaving the effects on in Serato from the previous track and then mixing it in perfectly only to drop it at the perfect time and then ..... echoooo echoooo echooooo.....

    Leaving the filter on the incoming track.

    The anticlimax of forgetting to turn the bass back up after a massive buildup that I've been effecting the crap out of (oops)

    And of course the obligatory taking the needle off the wrong deck.

    Accidentally hitting cue point 1 on the active deck ... doh!
    At least the music doesn't stop

    as a DJ last saturday:
    "Dafuq? What is that song ?! oO no browser or itunes running ? I never heard it before !!" It took me 20" to realize the rock band who played before me found out it would be really nice to jam with me... without asking me before. And no, it doesn't work.

    as a rock musician, in rehearsal :
    "Computer is almost out of battery" , by the Mac lady voice, full on, on the soundsystem.

    as a musicien, on stage :
    "Why the fuck is my computer down ? I plugged it on AC!!!" , turns out the techie plugged me to a light-show outlet, turned off most of the time, it went fully out during time between sound check and headliners.

    mixing a record until it runs out and not dropping the fader before attempting to queue the next record. very very bad habit I'm normally very good at avoiding but for some reason it pops up every now and again.

    I did that tonight. Thankfully it was at home, and on traktor, with sync. So it just sounded stupid and wasn't a complete disaster.

    I need to add those VU lights to my X1s.

    piss break. 16bar loop. meeting an old friend at the toilett. chatting for 20 min. realizising that the loop is still running. going back to the dj-booth. realizing that the crowd did somehow enjoy the past 20 min with the same loop. (it was sandstorm by darude and they were still screaming and whistling the melody)

    similar thing happened to me before. only that i forgot the loop the running song. so when i got back from the toilett the whole florr was empty and the night manager was yelling at me to move my f***in ass upstage and play some f***in stuff
    I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.
