using the crossfader for quick cuts and forgetting to re-center it is a common one lol

EPIC FAIL!

Done this so many times.

However the best mistake I have ever seen, is a friend of mine had his headphones round his neck, someone offered him a drink. So he goes walking over to them misjudging the length of the cable, and pull's the whole system of the side. The whole thing came crashing to the floor, bits of cdj everywhere.

Nightmare.

Also, My biggest mistake was accidentally clicking the reset button on my powerboard. music stopped.

@karma, funny thing that it wasn't even our gear we had lent it of a m8. Who funnily enough wasn't actually that bothered.

AHHHHH I fucking hate that!!! I wish Traktor could warn you that the source file was lost or something and not continue to show the wave forms going along the screen to confuse the fuck out of you.

Leaving the filter all the way up then going for a smash cut and.....no sound. Fairly easy to cover up by slowly bringing the filter down and pretending like you meant to do it. The worst one is leaving the echo freeze on and then panicking as you try to figure out why theres no sound!
