I am new to this whole wedding DJ thing and I am in need of a wedding contract. Before I get alot of people telling me that I do not want to just jump into the entire wedding thing and ruin someone's wedding let me first state: I have DJ'ed school dances and birthday parties. So I do have...

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...

I have recently purchased 2 New lighting stands with a t-bar. I am only planning on using one of these for my lights for now. Just curious as too what everyone thinks looks better. For the light stand be beside the Di table and the speakers be spread wide, or the speakers (on stands) be next...

I have a question about working my set-up. I am just recently starting out DJing and have done a few events. My question is "How do I set-up so that I can listen to cued music through my headphones only while playing another song." My euipment is: Laptop, Behringer UCA202 soundcard, Gemini...

I have the Berhinger B215D's and was wondering if anyone has ever put a t-bar on top of the speakers. The speakers have the pole socket on top just like the bottom. These speakers are 45lbs and the speaker stands will hold 100lbs each. All my lights I use are LED lights so they are not very...

I would love to put up pics of my setup, but I am fairly new to the dj world and have not taken any pics yet. I have a gig for a benefit dance for 6th-8th graders on Friday. I will take pics then and post.

I thought i would start a thread where everyone could brag a bit and post pics of there setups. I know alot of people are always curious as to what the next guy is doing. So here is where you can find out. Please post pics of what your setup looks like.

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...

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...

So I guess i will sell everything i have and set back and just stare at the dirt and wish there was a trench.

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.

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

I am wanting to buy a light stand or the light truss that has a 10' span that you can breakdown to have a 5' stand. I have 1 Eliminate Swarm, 1 LX5, 1 Chauvet Mini Moon, 1 75watt Strobe, 1 Lazer, and 2 2' Blacklights. just wanting to get everyone's ideas on what they think works, and looks...

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...

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?

I am doing a bday party on Saturday. Was wanting to get a few ideas on maybe some party games. Some of the games I have read about seem like they would be for younger kids. Seems like a 12 year old now days is like a 16 year old when I was ! a kid. Anyway does anyone have any ideas?

I am new to the DJ scenend am wondering what DJ software I should use. I am not really wanting to mix music, just play it. I am looking for something that will auto fade between the songs and easy to use. Also looking for something that I can save a playlistism order prior to the gig. Not...

Was wondering if the DJ's out there play background music for these events. If so what have you been playing.

I have recently purchased 2 24" 17watt blacklights for my set-up. I am wondering how much light these will put off. I know for a bedroom they would work just fine, but I was wondering if they will even be worth taking with me when I DJ small halls.

Ok, first let me start off by saying I know that LED last 10X longer than Xenon strobes, Use less power, and no heat. My question is for the money which gives off more light. I was looking at may be getting a 70 - 75 Watt strobe. I was wondering how many LED's will it take to produce the same...

What light is it??

I did alot of checking around and decided on the Eliminator Swarm and the Chauvet LX-5. It appeared that the Swarm had alot of coverage. I decided to spend the extra money and go with LED so it will last and will not have to replace bulbs. Next question is when you install the lights on your...

I tried to check out nlfxpro.com website but it does not always load. Must be having issues. Will try later. I was wondering what everyone else has had success with. It always looks good in a small dark room but once you get things out on a bigger dance floor sometimes it just does not look...

I have recently became a Dj and spent all my money on my sound system. Was curiousas to what light would give me the best light for my buck. My budget will be $150. I would like to purchase a couple of lights but not sure which ones to get. I will be doing weddings and birthday parties...

I am new to the DJ world and have a few questions. I am curiouse as to how many lights one can plug inro on eoutlet with a power strip. I have a laptop, mixer, 2 Behringer B215D powered speakers, 2 strobes, 1 Eliminator Swarm, 2 4' blacklights, and a 4 bulb color bank. Sounds like alot of...
