    Interactive DJs Singles Awareness Event - activity suggestions for singles?

    Steve, Thanks for the Nuts... but I'm afraid this might not be good for "matching." I have a feeling this might be a "rebellion" against romance. Getting people of opposite genders together might not be the best idea. Any thoughts?

    Interactive DJs Singles Awareness Event - activity suggestions for singles?

    I've been asked to DJ a "Singles Awareness" event (Valentine's Day celebration for those without dates) at a local bar. I expect we will have between 20-40 people present and thought it would be fun to include a couple of activities for them. When I've done corporate events, the "oversize...

    Looking to replace Old, tired JBL EON 1500's (Passive, G2)

    Well... I bought a pair of the JBL 415M's... not sure if I like them yet. They are a bit on the CRISP side... not a very good low-range ... then again, I might have to upgrade my AMP too.

    Looking to replace Old, tired JBL EON 1500's (Passive, G2)

    John, I'm interested... but I don't know if they would be worth the expense of shipping to the other coast. I'm in So Cal.

    Looking to replace Old, tired JBL EON 1500's (Passive, G2)

    I'm looking to replace my old, tired and battered JBL Eon's. They've been great, but now I hear a buzz and I think either the voice coil is about to go, or the drivers are loose inside the enclosure. In anticipation of failure... I'm starting to consider alternatives. Any suggestions? I...

    Bar & Club Thursday Night gig

    Spoke with bar owner last night (I also have a karaoke gig with him on Tuesdays). It seems he wants to attract a younger crowd. I have a feeling my "start older/classic" and move to new might not work... but I will continue to check it out. I saw quite a few middle aged folks there when I...

    How can I mount a digital camera/webcam on truss?

    You guys are awesome... a great wealth of knowledge. I opted for this camera as a starting point: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003LNZ1L6/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details. I hope this will get me started. I like the wireless option. I don't necessarily want something very high quality... and...

    How can I mount a digital camera/webcam on truss?

    Looking to start a new weekly bar gig, and one of the "perks" or cool things I want to do is take some sneak pictures of guests dancing, showing them on one of the TV's. The showing part is easy... I can just do that with VDJ (I think). But I want to find a camera I can mount/clip on a truss...

    Bar & Club Thursday Night gig

    I would love some help from the pros here... I've just been asked to DJ on Thursday evenings at a local bar. They've got a band playing there currently, but the owner wants more dance music and he doesn't think the band is working out. I checked it out last week and people were dancing...

    I had an odd request for a wedding in my gigbuilder. Called customer and found out she is not in California. I told her I would try to help her out. Since I don't know the area... please help. I believe she is in Windsor, CT. I think she mentioned New Hampshire. She's in a bind - DJ...

    Attention, TECHNOIDS

    Thanks, SVO. I think I'm getting most of what you wrote... whenever I use an EQ... it's usually not to ENHANCE a frequency, but to DETUNE a frequency. Perfect example: We did a wedding at a local venue. Nice, 5 star hotel. We walked in, set up, and started sound check. As it turns out...

    Attention, TECHNOIDS

    Can you elaborate on this? Kinda curious as to why...

    Attention, TECHNOIDS

    I anticipate possibly going to a powered setup in the near future. However, I still love my passive speakers and want to have "the best of both worlds" so I can pull out powered or non-powered speakers on demand, depending on the job. I have all my cases hard-wired, so they have a connection...

    Electro voice sb2a sub and options

    I also just picked up a pair of the SB2A at the DJ conference (Thanks Ben!). My hope is to drive my 18" subs with the second AMP. Since I always run my subs away from my rig for placement, I can now run XLR cable instead of Speaker cable without signal loss, to the desired location for the...

    Has anyone ever blown a pair of K12s ?

    If I'm not mistaken... one of the advantages of powered speakers is that they have clip/blow prevention circuitry built-in. I would say, they should be hard to blow... not impossible... but definitely not easy.

    Best Virtual DJ Controller?????

    I have used the PCDJ DAC3 and the Denon DNHD 2500 with Virtual DJ. I prefer the Denon because it has its own built-in sound output. If you're not using a dedicated sound card, this is the way to go, IMHO. If you just need "a controller" then you can check out the DAC3. It's good for a...

    Is Barry Manilow Washed Out?

    I just saw a new release from him... new song is called "Bring On tomorrow"... not sure if everyone will agree... but it seems over-engineered to me. Still the same Barry sound... with lots more effects to give him greater appeal IMHO.

    4th of July gig

    so here's another question... since it's a civic show (city is putting it on), should I play more "vanilla" selections rather than Top 40 and current hits?
