But the real value of a DJ comes from a few other areas, just like those other jobs mentioned above. Yes, anyone can switch songs back and forth, just like technically ANYONE can take pictures or even bake a cake. However, that’s NOT what we pay DJs to do. If DJs aren’t doing that, then no- the act of DJ’ing at that point is not much more than using a computer or some turntables to switch between songs. Truth be told, the actual technical act of ‘disc jockeying’ is NOT very hard, especially if they’re not doing things like beat-matching or song-mixing while they blend songs.
