    Lasers

    Been doing a little research on adding lasers for school dances. Even ran across the International Laser Display Association website with warnings, classes, etc. So if you use lasers in your shows: 1. Is safety training the way to go? 2. What brands/models are proven performers? 3...

    Website for Lyrics

    Any trustworthy site(s) for lyrics to newly released songs? The few that I've checked are loaded with adware/malware, etc.

    Crossover/Subs Settings

    As I've mentioned before, I am new to the crossover/subwoofer world but I'm learning. For lows we're using: BBE Maxx-X3 crossover, QSC RMX2450 amp (mono bridge), (2) Peavey SP118 subs. What we're getting is clipping with the QSC amp - even though we carefully watch the signal levels from the...

    Weddings Who would be the boss?

    Reception Playlist I too am paying close attention to this thread. Had a recent reception where bride & groom had specified "oldies" and "sappy love country." At our follow-up meeting (bride & MOB present), I asked for a few examples of preferred oldies. MOB chimed in with Aquarious and...

    Song ID

    Thanks Guys Neither one is it. Guess it's possible that the music on the show may not have come from the car - could be some production music inserted by truTV. FWIW, my phone app couldn't ID the song either.

    Song ID

    Just caught part of Speeders and this song playing on car stereo: "Come on make it roll baby. Let me see you drop it now." Google was useless. Any idea of artist-title?

    Bridge With NL4 Connectors/Cable

    Need cable advice to mono bridge a QSC RMX2450 amp: 1. Cable must be 4-wire with a Neutrik NL4 connector? 2. Any problem with NL4 connectors mating with amps, speakers, etc.? 3. On the NL4, I have to disconnect the -1 wire and connect +2 wire to the -1 terminal? 4. Anything else I...

    Wireless adaptor for microphone

    Wireless Conversion A touring band suggested the wireless adapter config. to us a while back. Been a while since I researched them, but for the brand(s) I checked - the cost of a wireless adapter was almost equal to an OEM wireless mic transmitter/receiver.

    House Song

    Wife is watching SYTYCD and I heard Fedde Le Grand - Scared Of Me on their opening dance routine. House/Techno is not generally what we do, but this one sounds promising. I plan to give it a try at two school events this weekend.

    Christmas Music Suggestions

    Looking at ODJT history, Christmas music isn't a favorite topic around here. :sqbiggrin: I'm doing a playlist for dinner music and need suggestions for contemporary artists' versions of Chrismas songs. I'll start: Whitney Houston-The First Noel, Air Supply-Sleigh Ride, Manhattan Transfer-It...

    Apps For Dual 15's

    I've been thinking (dangerous) about dual 15" two-way speakers - say 800W-1000W: 1. Is there an ideal application for these? Any limitations (besides weight)? 2. I'm wondering if they would be good for reinforcement in a larger school gymnasium, etc.? 3. Do you use them? Why or why not?

    Sound Processing

    Configuration Our audio chain is pretty basic right now: Allen&Heath ZED-14 mixer-QSC RMX2450 amp-Yamaha S115V speakers (4). Goals are: 1. Add (2) 18" subs/amp(s)/crossover 2. Suppress mic feedback 3. Enhance playback music (if possible or practical). 4. Anything else we should be doing...

    Sound Processing

    Mic Thunder, I do tend to push my mic to almost feedback level. Close proximity to speakers does that (as we know). Thunder, you are a sage of advice on here. I appreciate your help. 1. Is a compressor/gate the best answer for mic feedback? 2.What EQ or other processing do you use to...

    Sound Processing

    Had a chance to see a fellow DJ that I regard highly work this weekend. His configuration was some JBL 15" speakers/B-52 dual 15's/EV sub. I also noticed a dbx 266XL in his rack. He was busy doing his thing and I didn't want to interrupt so.... I am not currently using any compressor/gate. I...

    School & Teen Events "All Summer Long" Suitable for Schools ?

    All Summer Long It has been my decision not to play Kid Rock-All Summer Long at middle or high school dances. "Smoking funny things...drinking whiskey out the bottle...making love, etc." don't play well in towns/communities where we are. Yes, children may have the CD and hear it all over...

    A Gem From My Collection

    Good One Being the gear geek that I am, I can't believe the studio used a Shure dynamic mic to record a national level song. And I thought all the big names used Neumann mics only.:sqerr: Maybe the Shure was for video purpose only.....
