Help me build a system for speaking events only. I would like to be able to cover a small gym up to about 500 people. Remember this system is for 95% spoken word, and the other 5% will be music from presentations. How many speakers would you use? What size woofers? Lavalier or headset...

I don't want to step on any toes here so I will ask first. I have been approached by a friend and business associate to help sell and distribute a new brand of guitars. I won't mention any names or anything until I get the ok from Dan. young...

I have a hall manager who sends me at least 5 weddings a year plus some other work. We have a great relationship and I have bailed her out a few times when she needed technical help. The hall has a sound system built in done by a professional but it is not set up well. She has asked me if I...

I was at a party for the plant I worked for that just closed down and decided to have a little fun. I mashed up Beyonce with Pitbull. I had a lot of laughs when the lines "All you single ladies", "I know you want me" came out. I wouldn't recommend this at a wedding but since everybody knew me...

I have a wedding this weekend for a couple in their 50's. They really like 70's music with the exception of disco. They are looking for some of the more obscure one hit wonders. I have a list and man there are a lot of songs I have never even heard of. Anybody else have any suggestions...

I just found out that my school dance this Friday is doing a beach theme. Of course i'll do the limbo and some other games. The big problem is that a lot of beach music is from the 60's and kids these days don't seem to relate well to oldies. I'll sprinkle in a few but what other beach songs...

As of right now it looks like I will be moving the family four hours away from here for the sake of a full time job. My DJ business has become a slight after thought after losing my full time job. I won't be able to continue doing business in this area because of the travel but I have built up...

I had a bride contact me about her June 13 wedding and she now wants to do some up lighting. I have never done this and don't own any par cans to do it. I am looking for a rental place that will rent me the fixtures or a company that will sub contract. If I had the budget and funds I would...

I am starting this thread so as not to hijack Snoconeguy's thread. I am getting into up lighting very soon and I was just wondering a few things. How far apart do you space the fixtures? How much do you charge per fixture? Which fixture do you recommend? DMX or not? young...

Can you pronounce that? It is a rare form of cancer in the brain that has no cure. Tonight I am DJing a fundraiser for a couple whose wedding I DJed two years ago. Jim has OLIGODENDROGLIOMA and is going through radiation after surgery that removed 30% of the tumour. They say that since...

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone here at ODJT who have helped me gain valuable knowledge and helped put me in a place where I have the know how to go out and grow my business. I have been DJing for the better part of five years and on my own for just under two. I have...

I DJ'd a wedding last night at a facility where I have worked once before. The hall manager recognized me right away when I walked in. She was very pleased with my previous performance and wanted to see if I could repeat it. Half way through the night she approaches me with the bar manager...

I know Wavy Davy is the SEO master and to be honest I don't really understand what SEO is. I am looking for a little help maintaining high rankings on google. I seem to be hit and miss on the first page. young...

I am thinking it may be time for a new logo. I am finding my old logo to not represent the product I am trying to sell very well. I am going to be buying a new van for my business in the coming weeks and I would like to either get decals or a wrap done but I want something a little nicer and...
