producers and engineers do this to musicians too, pretending to turn up the monitor mix on the console while looking at the artist until they signal "ok"

The 'DFA slider' (does fuck all), just move it and ask if it sounds better.

monitors are for the artist only, and if they're too loud, they start messing up the mix coming through the mains--after a lot of time spent by the sound guys ringing out the monitors, pre-sound check, depending on the acoustics of the room. a lot of artists don't know and don't care how any of this works-- they want what they want and don't care what "problems" they're causing for everyone else.

hence the pretend turning up the monitors
