Have you ever...............

been playing music and looked at your music software then your mixer and not seen anything moving then realize 20 seconds later that the music is coming from your browser.

Post your DJ faux pas and goof ups here if you dare lol.

Drunken crossfader confusion. Gets me every time.

Hate it when you cant find out where the music is coming....

Accidently pressing cue on wrong deck & the occasional incident of mixing a tune in only to realise the channel fader is down

I've pressed cue on a playing track quite a few times :|

I thought I was done with that phase until I did it a couple weeks ago.

gotten angry at a mixer because you thought it was broken when trying to use effects but then realized that the effects were selected to a specific channel and not master output.

Last week during a gig, I told the DJ before me not to press the wrong cue button as a joke... 2 songs after I took over, I pressed the wrong cue.

I haven't made too many fuck ups myself, other then accidentally cueing the wrong cdj (tho the On Air status of the CDJ2000's linked into the DJM900 helps with that. CDJ platter turns Red when the channel is "live").

But working in a nightclub doing lights beside the DJ booth every weekend for 2+ years now, I've seen quite a few things.

Dj's computers dying cause they didn't plug in the charger. not realizing the CDJ was on Reverse mode. Pulling out USB sticks during a changeover (that's why I rock SD cards now after too many noobs pulled my stick out mid song). having crossfader turned on and not realizing why sound is only coming out of 1 channel on mixer. leaving the flanger effect on for 5+ minutes not realizing because they were mixing in headphones and not cueing the master channel. having Tempo Reset button turned on the CDJ and wondering why the tempo fader isn't working. having Master Tempo turned on the CDJ when using serato timecode and wondering why it keeps jumping around the track slightly. I've also seen a DJ duo almost knock his partner out by accident thrashing hard at the drop of a song.
