It's really interesting to see where this will eventually go. Part of me suspects that the brands that make gear will eventually need to create showcase environments for their stuff since the retailers will largely be gone. Consumers clearly want to be able to see and touch some of this...

The Chauvet Wash FX is a much brigher fixture from a color throw perspective. With that light you should expect more of a flood of color, while these are more for just how they look on the stand. But I believe the Wash FX has some fun eye candy stuff built in too. But that's tougher to access...

It's so funny when you start looking for an effect and see it more often. Just like when you buy a car and then see a ton of them on the road. The Iron Chef set (Netflix version) apparently has a bunch of this style fixture: It's easier to see them in the show itself, but they have a bunch...

I deal with this all the time, doesn't even phase me anymore. The couple wants the memories. It's my job to make sure there is something fun to take video of.

The ones I've found in the US are shockingly expensive. This is the one I purchased...

Hey folks, Just thought I'd share a quick update I'm playing with on my right right now. I typically offer a few different lighting options ranging from uplights, movers (which I'm about to sell), and a wash lighting solution just for the dance floor. I wanted to add a bit more eye candy to it...

I'm not trying to derail your thread about speakers based on this... but I'll just share what I now use. For my officiant's I've started using this Acaia Audio headworn mic: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LizProT4Tan--acacia-liz-pro-headworn-microphone-for-shure-wireless-tan My...

I've been using the Evox-12s since 2018 I think. I think they sound nice and clean. The low end is really nice for a wedding, but isn't boomy or obnoxious. And similar to Taso, I think it has an upper end range of about 150 guests... you could push to 200 if you had to, but I think it's a bit...

I really liked the utility of it, and I believe it's supposed to have some of the best mic pre-amps on a controller today. I wish they would have made one with a larger form factor and actually gone up against Pioneer. But the small jogs and how tight the interface is was a turn off for me. But...

I've got a subscription to my local chain of car washes. I try to run it through twice a month just to get enough value for paying the subscription price. But I could run through every day if I wanted and the cost to me doesn't change. More often than not I just judge what the line looks like...

I haven't had a landline since I left home for college. At the time, we had 2 landlines in my parents' home. I used one of those as my "business" phone that was listed on my business cards. I didn't want to change the business cards so I ported that number to my cell phone and I've never looked...

I consider 2001 my real start, but I did a few small community events before that. Just a kid with more enthusiasm than talent* :laugh: * Some things never change.

But see... I'm not. Apple is. Apple is refusing to switch to RCS which is more secure and robust because they believe (I suspect) that the social pressure on us "Green Bubbles" is going to encourage people to convert to iPhone so that their friends don't make fun of them. It leads to actual...

I started with iPhones, but I made the switch to the Google pixel line of devices about 5 years ago. At the time their camera was absolutely destroying the iPhone, particularly in low light. I also really enjoy that I can set a default music player that is not Apple's own product. The iPhone...

I bought them specifically because I had a planner and client that wanted it. The planner relationships for me are the most important relationships I have in this business. When they come to me for something, even if I don't have it, I try to make it happen. If they are referring me 5 weddings...
