    Karaoke backup vocals on a separate channel

    On occasion I have had guests ask if I do Karaoke. I explain that I don't have the system with me, but if they really know the song, words I can make it work. So, I play the song to make sure it is the one they want. Then, I do a "sound" check with the microphone and singer. Next, I sample...

    I don't need to be shown the door, I know where it is.

    Could it be that a DJ could also become a "novelty" in the future? I mean, a 70+ or even 80-year-old DJ. Just imagine the decades of music this DJ would bring to the event. No research necessary.

    A couple more "new guy" questions about DJ'ing

    I've always used 4 rubber "puzzle" squares; three across with the fourth attached to the center piece. The three are just right for an 8-ft rectangular table with the 4th square attached to the middle square which goes under the table. My Monster Power strip sits on that square.

    Have you dealt with uneven ground?

    If you can find the larger rectangular milk crates, place two side by side to put your sub on. Use shims, too. Don't forget to bring a couple of the very large black contractor plastic bags and same for your tops to pull down in case of rain. Never hurts to be prepared. I've even brought a...

    Have you dealt with uneven ground?

    Use a milk crate (black) to set sub on. Take level with you and small baby sludge. Pound on the corner of the crate to level it. Also, take several pieces of 2x4 or package of leveling shims to assist in leveling the dj table. Worked for me on many occasions. Do site survey so you know how...

    Would you use a Subwoofer at this wedding reception?

    YES. I would bring subwoofer, but not for the "big" thump but only to add a bit of depth to the sound of the music.

    How many email follow ups do you do with prospects who inquire with you?

    @tunes4045: Yep, they will move on as you state. But asking for additional information on which to base your fee quote makes it easier to cross them off your "potential client" list. Either they are not that far into party or reception planning or are simply looking for price quotes. I use a...

    How many email follow ups do you do with prospects who inquire with you?

    The retainer ensures that the Client will not lose the date. My booking dates are several months out, so it guarantees both the Client and DJ have the date secured. Then plenty of time to negotiate an appropriate fee for services. Client is assured that DJ will not book same date to another...

    Priced out of work...?

    Not necessary to put your price on website. When the call comes be ready to ask questions who, what, where, etc. I never quote a price unless I have all the information necessary for me to provide an accurate quote. I always send email with questions that I need answers to before making a...

    Upbeat Positive music with no lyrics

    If I recall, Top Hits USA has instrumental versions of popular songs. I think an instrumental version of "Family Affair" - Mary J. Blige would be a cool strut. When's the fashion show? I made a CD of up-tempo popular instrumental songs. See if I can find it. Will look tomorrow (Tuesday).

    Your opinion on DJ sitting in a chair while deejaying?

    Still use those colored jigsaw 2x2' squares to stand on. One under the table for power strip to keep it from moving, attached to center of 3 pcs of jigsaw. All pcs turned over so only gray side is showing. Been doing that for many, many years.
