To sit or not to sit? that's the question... Posted on: 02.03.2013 by Lanelle Panarella Obviously in a club setting I know dj's always stand but I wonder while at home or in a area of practice how many people sit down to play there routines or just jam out. I have always had a personal battle with this and just wanted to get a feel on this. | |

| Tessie Spice 03.03.2013 | "Should I sit down?" The answer to this question is the same as the answer to the following question: Am I playing guitar in the following video? |
| Larita Smaga 03.03.2013 | Whenever you see videos of Q-Bert sessioning at the Octagon he's generally perched on a stool. And if it's good enough for Q... |

| Brunilda Kora 03.03.2013 | In the comfort of your own house, you can do whatever the hell you want. For me, DJ'ing has ALWAYS been a stood-standing job. But the preparation (DJ'ing should be 95% preparation, and 5% execution = 95% work, 5% play) is a sat-sitting job. |
| Alyse Chiong 03.03.2013 | Even when Im sitting I still get the shoulders moving! Fuck whoever hit me with their car...wasnt for them I wouldnt have this problem Edit: Strike that I often forget until I am standing that my knees have been completely destroyed so that doesnt help very much |
| Piedad Apelian 03.03.2013 | i stand when practicing, just good practice and muscle memory junk or whatever |
| Venetta Cawyer 03.03.2013 | Depends. If my control surface is right in front of me and every aspect is reachable without getting off my chair.. Fine in laid back / lounge areas but in clubs it's generally a no-no. But usually with [CDJ2000][CDJ2000][DJM900][CDJ2000][CDJ2000] a little walking around is necessary. |
| Iluminada Vandevoort 03.03.2013 | No DJ should sit at a club... |
| Lanelle Panarella 03.03.2013 | Very true Mdcdesign! Even coming home from a long day at work I want to just play some tracks but the thought of standing makes me not play. I'm going to have to by one of those high stools for home |
| Doreen Schurle 02.03.2013 | I actually sit sometimes when at a venue, it COMPLETELY depends on the environment. Last Thursday, I was doing a set a student pub - ie, a very laid back environment - and after 3 hours I was fucking EXHAUSTED standing around all the time. I noticed they had lovely "high" chairs designed for sitting at high tables/bars, so I dragged it back to the booth and plopped myself down on it. I was still at the same height as I would've been if I was standing, but my legs weren't killing me anymore - job done. Will be doing exactly the same thing next Thursday |
| Charline Dye 02.03.2013 | I stand for practicing/mixing, and sit for track prep, working out routines, mapping, etc. You can't dance/move to the music in a chair very well. |
| Alyse Chiong 02.03.2013 | I sit most of the time at home practicing because I dont have a tall enough table to stand comfortably and I recently fractured my back so standing like that is painful. The one thing I dont like about sitting though Is I am always dancing a bit while playing so it takes away from it. |
| Everette Akhtar 02.03.2013 | personally, i sit down at home when practicing. but a dj should never sit while performing |
