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 convinced I'm going to make a change... but I've been considering my speaker configuration. There are certain events where I want a little more headroom than what my Evox-12s can deliver. They're great most of the time, but while they still aren't very old I feel like my resale value on...

I'm channeling Ricky for my best poll impression. I want to add some new looks to my front board wrap system. Instead of just buying them and guessing, I just sent a poll to a handful of the wedding planners I work with most often. I cherry-picked a few designs that I thought might be...

This might be primarily a question for @djtaso as I'm not sure how many others are running totems. But I wanted to ask in a forum anyway since it might help others. How much extra fabric do you buy for your truss scrims to get the scrunchy look? I've got a 2 meter truss (6.5 ft), and currently...

With the supply chain struggling the way it is, it looks like it's not a bad time to unload used gear right now. I've got a QSC KW-181 in very good condition in my garage that leaves the house... maybe once a year? On ebay/marketplace they look like they are selling for $1,100 - $1,300 listed...

I made a new pre-mix (I use them during cocktail hour when I have to break down ceremony at the same time). I thought there were some fun tunes in this that most people might not stick in a cocktail hour so I thought I'd share. It's got a little indie, pop, throwback, etc. while trying to keep...

I'm finally making the leap past my Yamaha MG10 mixer. There's an old thread where we were debating the merits of the QSC Touchmix 8, the Bose Tonematch 4, and some others as an upgrade for my ceremony rig. I was always worried with the QSC that having fader control on the screen might be...

I was inspired a little by Macho for this question. I have a sneaking suspicion that he bought the Alto Stealth just as a "flex" of sorts, just to tell his DJ buddies he has one. What gear have you thought about buying but held back on? Either because you couldn't make a business case for it...

I'll preface this by saying... I've never hosted karaoke. It's not something I've ever aspired to offer, and the thought of hosting it regularly is not a way I'd like to make money. But... one of my June weddings is concerned about DC's "no dancing" rules that are currently in effect for events...

Does anyone here use any of the DJ event planning software systems? I've avoided them for a long time. I felt like it removed some of our ability to be consultative with the process of creating a timeline with our couples, or just having a discussion around music. But I'm curious if I've been...

Is anyone else getting a really massive header on ODJT? It's coming down about 50% of the way into my browser, and I've never seen it like that before.

I just saw a preview on this, but Rane is updating the 12 (and the 72 mixer). The particularly big deal for me is that it has RCAs and the ability to work in Relative Mode. The original 12 had to operate in Internal Mode. That gave it a much more controller like feel to me, versus a turntable...

Super bummed that one of DC's iconic nightlife spots is closing. But they are auctioning off all of their equipment, including sound and light. I've never bought anything from an auction site like this, but it's interesting to see...

I know there has been mentions of other streamed sets in other threads - but I wanted to break this out since streaming is a bit of an off-shoot of the core in those threads. I know Chris has done them and is having some success. The one I did was really for a captive audience. My company's...

SoundSwitch released version 2.2 recently. It's got a WILDLY improved autoscript algorithm. I don't think it added much in terms of capability, but it makes it much easier to a great looking light show. I was bored and wanted to play with the new tech, so I set a lighting rig up in my garage...

Almost all of my gigs are either weddings or nightclub events. So when I get asked to do other types of events, I always have to re-set my thought process. A couple that attended one of my 2019 weddings called me and asked me to help with their anniversary party which took place last night. The...

I had A BLAST last night at one of my regular spots. A lot of times I play Capo on Fridays. And while I always really enjoy the place, on Friday I normally worked all day in the office and then have to get myself wound up for a long night. I enjoy the DJing, but it's always a little squeezed...

My couple for Saturday sent over a couple of their Spotify playlists as inspiration lists... I'm shocked how little of this music I own currently. But I'm having to buy an enormous amount of music to be able to play it. Part of me really enjoys when a couple shares some music I don't know very...

Mojaxx is right on with this review. The looping function out of the box was super wonky, but after a quick remap of the midi it works exactly like it should have. And I did notice the auto-bpm detection being a bit funny, so I'm glad they are addressing it with the firmware update. I'll get...

I cracked up when I saw this... Sorry about the language, hope this is ok.

I added a couple of facade options recently, and this was my first time out with one of them. I wish I had gotten a slightly darker looking wood grain, but the system itself worked pretty well and I look forward to other options. I can stretch any number of patterns across this frame and create...

I thought you all would appreciate the use of gear for some fun at home. It's our first year in a new neighborhood, we decided to have some fun for Halloween with the house. Unfortunately, they were calling for nasty storms tonight so I didn't want to put a bunch of gear outside. I was planning...

Right now I'm using Shure WL93 capsules for my ceremony lav system. But I took a look at what was out there... and I was curious if anyone has experience with good alternatives. The MX150 looks like it's an upgrade in the Shure line for an omni directional mic. I also hear good things about...

All I can say is... wow. View: https://www.facebook.com/mau.huerta.56/posts/1496081723837467

I've been debating about this for a long time... but I'm finally re-doing my ceremony rig. My typical set up is a Yamaha MG-10 mixer. I have a QLX-D lav mic. And then if I need a handheld I have been taking the one out of my reception system, and then reconnecting it later. I carry it all...
