Hey guys. I was playing around on my live sound mixer the other day and I was using my usb sound card for inputs. I was mainly just messing around with the processing effects goofing off. I started to compress the input from the usb card and noticed that the bass tightened up considerably and...

Hello all, I have been looking at new speakers for some time now. I was going to buy some a several months ago, but bought a new 20' trailer and some other gear instead. I basically got tired of playing tetris every time I had to load and unload my trailer. Ok, back to the point. I am...

Hello all, I am looking into buying new truss, but can't make up my mind. I have looked at tons and tons of trussing online. I have somewhat decided on this one 170-TR492 from cheaplights.com. It seems like the tubing is a little thin though. I use...

Well business has been good.....better than good.....it's great!!!!:tribiggrin: I have been turning potential clients down for a while now because I am already booked. Even if the new potential was a lot more money than what I had already booked for. Matter of principle on that one, not...

I have been mulling the idea around for a while about building a new set of subs. At first I was going to build a set like the ones that I have and just double the wattage for bigger events. After surfing some and reading few posts on here I decided to build some Bill Fitzmaurice design Titan...

Hello all. I know it's been a while, but I have been buuuusssssyyyyyy. I am looking at starting another op in a couple months and have been browsing for new mixers. I came across this one http://www.numark.com/product/c3usb and it looked like it would suit my needs perfectly with VDJ and the...

I need some help here. I have 2 s Christmas party customers both repeat customers. They are wanting some sort of an interactive DJ game for door prizes and awarding Christmas gift etc. In the past I have used a name that tune type of that thing with old show tunes. They are wanting...

I am curious about something. When does fog and hazer juice freeze? I know it's water based so it will freeze eventually and if it does, does it affect the quality if it doesn't explode and make a huge mess. And what about possible damage to hazers and foggers stored outside in a trailer or...

I DJ'd a wedding tonight and they kept requesting skip-step music. I had no clue what they were talking about. Finally one of them brought me an ipod with a couple songs. Thanks to prime cuts I was covered. Kudo's to those guys. I played music along the line of jump smokers remixes the...

Does anyone here do live sound reinforcement/pa for bands as well as DJ? I have been doing it more and more here lately and for me it's a lot more challenging than just DJ'ing. There has also been some growing pains, as my credit card and Ben can attest to. Anyway I am thinking that if...

Well, tomorrow I am doing my biggest exposure event. I have to start setting up in a mere 6 hour. And I am not even going to be a DJ mainly. I am doing sound reinforcement for a musicians memorial event. Filling in with music when the bands are tearing down and setting up. My dad is being...

I have been upgrading all my gear and I am starting to accumulate a large pile of like new equipment that I don't need anymore. I have lights, controller, effects, you name it. And I am running out of room to store all of it, but I am a miser when it comes to gear though. You never...

Looking for ideas for a heavy duty, light weight, and very portable dj table. I need something that will support around 300lbs. Amp rack etc. I have a plastic/steel table that folds up already. It works but I don't trust it (a little wobbly for my taste). I also don't trust venue supplied...

How may of you have family members that work/help you out. I have a fifteen year old daughter that thinks this the coolest job ever. She has been helping me out for about the last year. She lugs gear, hooks it up, dj's and is pretty good at it. She has a little trouble with the old school...

I am switching over to DMX controls on my lighting and I am curious about LED strobes. I am currently using 2 Chauvet techno strobe 2000s 75w strobes and was wondering how the led strobes would compare.

Hello all, it's been a while I know. Been through the Big D and a few other things in the last year or so, but still DJ'ing. Things are settling down and business is good. I have been doing some upgrading lately. The B-word gear is still rocking hard for me and have added some DBX and JBL...

I am looking into a vocal processor for my karaoke set up. I am not sure what I need to get though. I am looking at the Behringer DSP2024P or possibly Peavey DUALDELTAFEX. They both have reverb, compressor, Parametric EQ, and lots of other goodies. I was planning on using the effect...

Has anyone ever thought of using something like this in their rack for lighting control or pc dj'ing? http://www.maplesystems.com/ftp/literature/goldseriesdata/pc419a.html This one I use time to time during the day job. These things take a beating and they are a touchscreen. Dump a drink...

Hello all, I have a chance to buy 2 used Martin Roboscan 812 fixtures in good shape for $150. Does anyone use these or have they ever seen these. The only have 150w lamps in them. Is 2 of them enough for a gym? Do they have limited operating time? Are the lamps outrageous to replace...

Which fixture do you guys prefer: American DJ 250EX or the Chauvet Intimidator 1.0 I can get the both for about the same price, which has a better effect or are they about the same.
