Input please. I recently had a wedding where the venue mentioned two weeks prior to the event that the First Dances, Toasts and Dinner would occur in one room and the Dancing for the evening would take place in another room where a permanent bar area was (but no seating in this area). I've not...

Hey, anyone have issues with their Dongles lasting? :laugh: In particular, I have a pack of 4 Donner receivers (battery operated) and I've had one just stop working entirely and it's a crap-shoot as to how long the others last without plugging them in. I had them fully charged before doing a...

Anyone use a mic like this for livestreaming or recording etc? https://www.kpodj.com/jts-pm-35-usb-livestream-microphone-usb-podcast-mic-w--stand-p-112210

I read the thread talking about storing gear in the cold. My question is a bit different. What about playing in colder environments. Just for fun I thought about mixing on my front porch during Beggar's Night...Some fun songs for kids and the adults. However, the temp took a turn this week and...

Okay, as I keep trying to learn audio routing etc, there is one thing I've never understood looking at a sound board. When a channel says 5/6 or 7/8 on a board what does this really mean you can do (in layman's terms)? From the picture, If I have a musician that needs a vocal mic and needs to...

Okay, I'm sure I will get push back on this ... but I hate most of the 90's music...for weddings. I love it for any other setting - Fun! However, I'm sorry but the vast majority of this decade sucks for great dance music for wedding receptions. Are there exceptions? YEP! Is there great music as...

I searched to see if this topic was already talked about but didn't seem to find it. I'm sure it has been. Wondering if any of you consistently use games at a reception? Do you coordinate that with the bride/groom prior? I assume so. If you do use them, what do you do? I'm in the midwest and...

Hey, I just wanted to take a quick minute to wish everyone on here a Merry Christmas and a relaxing holiday season. I also want to thank many of you who've taken the time to give your valued input and suggestion this past year. I truly appreciate it. For those of you who've been on here a long...

Decided I'd start doing something for my wedding couples to hopefully set me apart from the typical (I'm assuming others around here don't do this but don't know for sure). A few days before the wedding this past weekend (Gig report coming. Video just got done today). I ordered some cookies for...

Do you prepare a playlist, choosing every song, placing them in the order to be played at the gig both harmonically and according to bpm? For this recent weekend wedding, I had spent quite a bit of time prepping the playlist to ensure some good mixing. It was actually more challenging than...

I have a wedding gig tomorrow. A while back I had worked with Mydmxgo for a long time, using every troubleshooting avenue available (the FB forum, here, videos...). Finally punted it and started using Soundswitch. I was really encouraged though it took a while to program autoloops and the...

Just posting a curious question (didn't see this on any previous posts). Assume the bride/groom or whomever did not give you a list of specific slow songs or anything like that. How many do YOU play at one time? Also, how many songs as a whole do you typically play during the course of an...

Anyone ever order or buy from these folks? They seem to carry quite a bit. Didn't know what people's experience was with them as far as pricing or service? -Tom

I have the Gravity Stands lighting stands with the heavy base plate and pole but at the time I waited to get the T-bars to keep cost down and knowing I wasn't going to need the complete set until later. I bought them from Projectorgram. They don't seem to carry the T-bars anymore (and why...

I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with Xmix but i thought I'd post for those who aren't. Joined Xmix dj pool about a month or so ago. They seemed like they would have some really good remixes (and they do) but, wow what a horrible experience. What attracted me was the Short Cutz (quick hits)...

I have been thinking of using my Ipad for a backup to my computer (until I can get a 2nd computer for emergency purposes) and simply making a playlist in Itunes of the wedding songs I have organized in Serato. Anyone doing this? If so, since Serato only organizes music that is already on a hard...

Issue: Lights (Chauvet slimpar Q12) do not respond at all. Lights don't even turn "on" (though they have power chords plugged in and power is on. FYI....I've tried reading the donner instructions (several times over)...It's like trying to read broken English from someone who stutters and has...

I'm looking into SoundSwitch as a backup alternative to Mydmxgo. It seems that it syncs with dj software but does this mean you still have to program each and every song? I'm trying to understand how it syncs to the music etc. It seems like the advantage of Mydmxgo (if it works the way it...

I have a Lenovo Yoga computer and an Iphone 7 Plus. I have a hot spot on my phone (and enabled) but cannot for the life of me connect my Lenovo computer to the hot spot. It will see my phone in the list of networks but when I click to connect it simply says it can't connect to this network. It...

Came up with some fun advertising. I'm calling it Epic Fail....Enjoy! :laugh::laugh::-/

So I get a groom-to-be call me up on June 23rd and say he was referred by a friend of his that was the photographer for a 10th wedding anniversary I DJ'd at. He mentions he's interested in my availability and hiring me for 5/18/20. Awesome, right? Nice to nail something down for next year. This...

Just thought I'd post that I finally pulled the trigger on getting a couple of QSC K12.2's. Pretty stoked that they come tomorrow. I've heard nothing but good things consistently (some from here). Could only afford the tops for now but looking forward to eventually getting some appropriate QSC...

I have a gig coming up for Oktoberfest. They were going to have a polka band but decided to go with a dj to play both polka and some current music. I have only a handful of polka songs (like literally 5...I don't get many requests for that....and I hate polka :-/ ). Anyone know where to get a...

What companies (or methods) are people using for your online planning forms and/or tools. I've been testing out DJ Intelligence. For those not familiar, they have tools that you can incorporate into your site like Availability Checker, Booking Form, Online Payment Gateway and Planning Forms per...
