The same can be said for "musician" -- a person who puts live sounds together.
But we each can have personal standards that we choose to adhere to, so that I can state that a person who simply noodles on a midi keyboard and prints whatever comes out through a computer is absolutely NOT a composer. And you can state that anybody who simply uses prerecorded sounds to put together a live sound (even if it means scratching a disk back and forth on a turntable) is absolutely NOT a musician in your mind.
But if you don't think a deejay is a musician, perhaps you would favor us with your list of criteria which a person must fulfill to cross your threshhold and be considered a musician?

A co-worker insists that a deejay is a musician. I say that is a load, that at most he is perhaps an editer or producer.
Can a legitimate case be made in his defense?
