    American Audio VMS4 Anyone?

    I'm looking at buying a controller, but not sure which one to get. I run VDJ Pro and bought the Numark Total Control as soon as it came out. I liked it other than the plastic construction. Never had any issues, but it always seemed kinda chinsey. I wasn't DJing anymore and hadn't used it...

    This Is Pretty Cool

    I ran across this years ago, but it really came in handy when building my new/old website. It's an online website archive. It's pretty fun to go back and see how your site changed thoughout the years. http://www.internetfrog.com/mywebsite/archive/

    Project we've been working on.

    Since it's Veteran's Day I thought I'd share a project that we've been working on. As some of you know, we lost my brother-in-law in 2007 to an IED in Iraq. The main reason we relocated was so my wife could be closer to her family after that. In October 2007 we visited Schofield Barracks...

    My New/Old Website. What Do You Think?

    I've kept my web address parked for the last 3 years or so just in case I decided to put on the headphones again. Well, the time has come. :tribiggrin: I used to have essentially the same website. In fact I found an archived version of it online. I had great luck with the layout, wording...

    Just Registered My New Domain...Website To Follow

    So I registered my new website... www.yourmichigandj.com with GoDaddy. Now I've gotta wait 12-24 hours for Dynamod to get all set up with the nameserver change. :) Guess I'm back for real now. BTW, still gotta figure out a name. :tard: --- Well, it's up and running (kinda). I put...

    So I went to the local music store...

    I went to a local music store that's actually owned by one of the area's biggest multi-ops. Just looking around to see what they had (not much). When I asked the guy about pricing on some different products he turned around and went to his computer. What did I see on the desktop? A Limewire...

    Dilema

    So I've tentatively decided to rename the business "A&J Entertainment" when I get started back up in the next few weeks. After doing some research I found an "E&J Entertainment" not too far from where I'm at. Our service areas might actually overlap a little. Are these names too similar?

    So I screwed up...need suggestions

    Last year I hung up my headphones with the idea that it was for good. Of course I've gotten the itch to start back up in my new area not only because I miss the job, but the money as well. Anyway, I let my domain name lapse and now it's gonna cost an arm and a leg to get back (a few hundred...

    Compressor/Limiter Help

    I picked up a used Alesis Nano Compressor/Limiter a while ago on Ebay. I haven't hooked it up and I'm not quite sure how. I use a Mackie 1402VLZ mixer and right now I send signal from the Aux. Send to an Alesis Microverb 4 and then back into the Aux. Return. This is the way I'd like...

    Wanna get good concert tickets?

    Wanna get those good seats that always seem to be gone? Sign up for the band's email list. They just might send you an email for advanced sale tickets. A couple weeks ago I heard the Blue Man Group was going to be in Saginaw. I went to their site and saw a link to sign up. I figured "What...

    Hey Mr. Chuck Lehnard, wanna do lunch?

    I'm going to be in Hawaii next month for a week. My brother in law Casey's unit is coming home from Iraq and my wife's family wants to meet them. There's also going to be a small memorial of some kind for Casey when the unit gets back so we want to attend that. That said, I can't make a...

    Need Some Help!!!

    I have a bride that saw a game at another wedding where the guys lined up on one side and the girls on the other with the bride and groom sitting on chairs in the middle. The guys and girls went back and forth singing verses to a song (she doesn't remember the song). She really liked it...

    What I've been up to during my absence...

    Sorry I haven't been around, but I'm staying at the inlaws for the time being and they don't have internet access. I started my new day job last week. It's going great and I couldn't ask for a better company to work for. My daughter started first grade this last Tuesday at her new school...

    Ford Focus Traveling At 85MPH + Deer =

    Yep, that sucked!!! I was on my way down to the in-laws for Angelie's birthday party Saturday morning when the deer jumped in front of me. I got a face full of airbag, but I'm OK. I think the car is probably going to be totalled.
