I just turned 18. I have a Halloween party that is paying $400 on October 26th. I dropped $500 on some new equipment to actually do the gig and get it done. Right now, I had $300 already. So I'm in debt currently at $200 with my parents until I do the Halloween gig. Everything is signed...

Had a gig 30 minutes away from me. Left 2 hours early so I could take my time that day since I was tired. This gig was a low paying one of only $250 for a client. 3 hours of music, birthday, 150 people about. Got there at this venue which was very large, but a bit run down looking inside...

Just thoughts, and random findings.....no debating..... My friend who is a "gear head" on computers and audio/video equipment, recently did a test. He has many amplifiers ranging from Behringer, Technical pro, and Crown. Mostly ones he got just for around the house and small family parties...

Well, as with my previous thread of songs/attire for a Casino/Talent night, I come across the choice that since it is the same place I played at least year for another event, how to fill the room with sound. It is a large room, high ceiling, and when I ran my 2 15" tops only, it was quite not...

Just seeing if I'm the slow one, or if it's normal. How long does it take you to setup and tear down, and with what equipment? For me, a T stand with lights, fog machine prep, amp case, mixer/cd/mic case, 2 15" tripod speakers, and the decorating of a tabletop facade/table skirt, and wire...

Well, I have a nice upcoming gig on January 26th. Another company party. Theme: Casino Night/New Years/Employee Appreciation. It is from 5-10pm, and will have about 100-150 people, including some teens/kids from workers families. My time to shine now since I built a nice tabletop facade out of...

Just though I'd share this in case no one ever saw it, and the behind the scenes of over 100 mics. http://www.tarkan.info/20090914/work-related/t-mobile-trafalgar-square-karaoke-sing-a-long/all/1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orukqxeWmM0...

Got my first PROFESSIONAL 3ft x 1.5ft vinyl sign for my table. Got tired of using my crappy paper/cardboard homemade one :P. This package was only $29 including the shipping, on Vista-print. Also got 250 business cards. How do you guys transport your signs safely without them getting all...

I had to turn it down because I didn't have enough equipment. Have the experience, but not the right amount of stuff needed for a live sound gig "THIS" big....

2 Months ago, my father asked me about a gig for his co-worker. He is located 45 miles away, so a decent distance. All he wanted was some party music and effects for his wife's 50th birthday. So, I sent him an info sheet and contract. He returned it with the address, music, time, options, etc...

Anyone here have a Behringer EPQ2000 amp? They like it? Work well? I wanted to get one in a year or 2 (yes, I do a lot of future shopping) to run my 8 ohm 400w program speakers. I know Behringer is a pretty good company that makes pretty decent stuff for the price...

Yes yes......late posting....this is a Neighborhood 4th of July Gig I recently did on Saturday July 7th. Played everything from 80s' 90's and top 40. Had fog machine with a fan blowing it towards the pool, and LED lighting at night. The fog hung nicely around the in ground pool. Everyone had a...

I'm just asking this question in general. I have my own 6ft folding table I bought for a few gigs I do because some people don't have one to supply me with, that is sturdy and large enough. But I can't bring it most of the times because there is no room in the car. Do you guys bring your own...

I did a HS graduation gig for family. Criticize me! Let me know what/if I should add anything or not. Keep in mind, this is just a hobby, and have no spare cash. I do this just for fun, since I have a passion for music. I do know 2 things I should've done: - Tidy up the cables a bit more...

I got a few awesome buys at a few garage sales the other day. A NIB Monster Power Surge Protector. Home Theatre powerbar 1100 for only $10. New it is $200. I'm going to use this for DJing. Belkin 10 outlet surge suppressor for $5. Not going to do much for surge protection, but I can always...

Would I need an external crossover with this sub if it says it has a "Built in Passive Crossover"? I would have it on a separate bridged amp from my mains. I am looking for a good priced sub that will add some kick to an upcoming gig I have. I've been using a pair of 15" speakers and they have...

I am not big in lights for DJing although I want to add a little punch to the setup. I need it compact since I have to fit everything into a car. I can't even get a subwoofer because of space issues. I usually have everything just fit and doors close with what I have. (2 15" speakers, rack case...

How many of you have built your own rack cases? I just got a new amp, and I want to build a new 4u rack case to protect it from dents. It won't fit in my slanted rack case, and its also getting too d**n heavy with a mixer, cd players and mic receivers. I can't spend $100 on a case, so I wanted...

I got a website for my hobby DJ biz..... Its a free website (it has the domain hosted by weebly in the URL) Its professionally laid out and looks great. Free too! So I can't complain. Especially since i'm on a hobby profit. http://sounddesignentertainment.weebly.com/

I have an el' cheapo Technical 1100z amplifier. It gets the job done. Since I'm on hobby profit, I will be buying a new more powerful better amp "Seismic Audio LE-3000" after this gig. I've heard many good things about SA, and I have a pair of their speakers that are UNBELIVABLE! Loud, bassy...

I'm new here. My name is Sean, hence the username "seansy59" :) I love collecting audio, and am an audio dude! I am a DJ, kinda just a hobby one that does 2 or 3 gigs every few months and have a gig coming up next week that NEEDS a somewhat decent wireless mic. Its going to be use for prize...
