After a forum discussion where a DJ complained about sudden setup glitches and that awkward situation where equipment fails just when you need confidence, I immediately remembered how a similar feeling had thrown me off-kilter before an important set: my hands were shaking, my concentration was waning, and even though I'd fixed the sound, I was already falling apart. Trying to distract myself, I looked at

Seeing others also go through moments of complete loss of control makes it easier to pull yourself together and calmly return to your equipment.
