    School & Teen Events Party disaster

    I did a 13 year olds birthday party this past weekend. There was a total 13 people that showed up. I was asked 2 different times to turn the music down. I am glad I received payment before I started. I would estimate that I played less than 20 songs in 3 hours for the party for dancing. The...

    Stand or Truss???

    Thanks to everyone who's gave there ideas. I think I will go with a couple of stands instead of the truss system. Just sounds like it would be more versatile. My only concern with the stands was the look of it. But it sounds like the ease of setup and take down and able to use everywhere...

    Stand or Truss???

    I will be the first to say I am just getting into it and every gig I do I really enjoy it. That being said i do not do this full time. I live in a small town and will probably only do 5 to 10 gigs a year so I do not want to go all in and bet my inheritance on becoming a famous DJ. Baby steps...

    Stand or Truss???

    If you have read the previous post he was mentioning hanging the speakers from a truss. Do not think I want to hang 45lb speakers from a truss. At least a truss that I can afford. Can you say kaboom.

    Stand or Truss???

    I have 2 B215D and usually place them to the side. They are powered speakers so they are fairly heavy.

    I am using virtualdj home. I mostly just use the playlistism function and it all goes through one deck. Just was wondering about if it would help with sound quality. Also was wanting to maybe use some headphones to possibly preview music that is requested to make sure it is appropriate...

    sound card needed?

    I am curious if I really need an external standard for my computer. I do weddings and small parties. Just wondering if it makes a big difference in the sound quality of the music. If so, which one to get?
