DJ Gig Log 105 | How I setup up my basic package | Pro tips for days

So of all the powered Speakers out there such as the QSC,EV,DRX,Mackie, RCF and Alto. Why did you choose JBL system to do your event? I’m curious because I am looking into purchasing my first setup that will be good for a very long time use.

Where did you get your power and how many extension cords did you have to run on how many circuits. What distance and what gauge of extension cord (10 or 12) did you have to use?

Hell yeah ,I understand this situation real good

practice dj mixing ......

success ;) orginizers would of been happy. so thats a win :)

It's 2022, can't you guys starting using Gravity/K&M single distance pole speaker stands?

Scrims are so, so tacky.

I understand this is a big ask but is there any chance you can post the set list for this gig, Im really interested in how you Structured this gig and how my mixed eg. The old songs into the newer songs

I usually carry a backup mixer in case my main one blows out for any reason.

Where did you get that laptop mount?

Hello I have a question about speaker height in a small party. Let's say it is only a family's gathering of 10 to 25 people tops in small backyard party. Do you actually need to set the speakers at 7 to 9 feet in height , knowing that there is no audience way in the back and all guess are just withing 10 to 15 feets of the music . Can I lower the height so I don't have to increase so much amp power on the speakers or what is the best option in this scenario

built catch? hhhh

Holy crap first time watching ur videos and half of the video is you bragging about ur purchases good lord. Nobody cares about ur truck rims and garage door opener

cache sounds like cash. lol

Makes me wish I had moved to Greensboro a few years ago. Still living in Wilmington myself. Great video and setup.

Just find you , loved that video

Why do dj have headphones? I’m really curios

Do I need more than one ampliers for each set of speakers like base , long range , tops or one powerful amplier with two channels can work if so which one do you recommend me , lastly how can I avoid burning my speakers when playing them at very high sound ?

think I must leave and go home 🏡

Yo. Whats this track at the beginning

Beautiful set up how did you mount the Wash Fx's

Dude, solid video, incredibly informative, thank you.

Found the vid informative. Im Looking to get into sound hire

I am enjoying your videos, it's like being there to see a modern DJ in action. I was a dj in the 80s and 90s and just wanted to chime in on the always play requests policy. In general yes, of course you want to play requests. Obviously there may also be exceptions to the rule. After experiencing more requests than available time you start to think things through - and no I'm not talking about a night so dead everyone was requesting instead of dancing - in my old days kids simply got a thrill out of getting their request played. Yes you are there to serve and entertain - the entire crowd, not just the most vocal requestors. Ultimately you need to play what is best for the whole, and that is always a judgement call. I remember one night I had over 200 college aged kids on the dance floor, and one young woman begging me to play her song, not letting up while the song was ending and I was in the middle of a mix. It was toward the end of the night, I was short on time and had plenty of hits left. She stopped her plea mid sentence letting out a scream and jumping when she heard the song I had just started - and ran to the dance floor. It was not her request, but it was the right song for the crowd, including her.

All that for 8 people dancing SMH 🤦‍♂️

nice dj But the base sometime i rlly can't hear the music Lol

Where can I get picture of controller you have on wall behind you at the beginning of video. tyia...LS AUDIO SOLUTIONS

Just gave us gold mah´good man, great job and those tips are priceless, speaks of your amazing craftsmanship and professionalism, plus you gave us all the equipment you use? Are you kiddin´me ? Thanks bro you earned yourself a new sub, loved the setup btw, my OCD goes away and actually is so satisfying watching how you do your stuff, great, great work my brother! ♥
Over and out greetings from Las Vegas brother!

What did you make?

how long was the gig for, went from daylight to night

Nice one man

I myself like a clean setup. Cables etc, minimized. I learned some good tips from you. Thank you for this!

I think you set up too far! Makes it hard to dj

Amen on the cooler, fan too

Where are your Subwoofers?

No subs ?

Excellent video Rick.Thanks.

Very fun

Labeling everything is a brilliant idea, last gig nearly came to fisticuffs because the club owner was claiming very expensive equipment was their's at the end of the night.

I am from Peru, excelente tu canal y tienes muy buenos equipos, que sigan los éxitos !!

The crowd seemed a little weird but nice set up!

Rick i am very angry with you
how dare you put all that stuff on top of the supreme PRIME 4????

Lots of Pro Tips - Thanks for each and every one of them. When I play The Wobble, I back it up with Da Butt; crowd seems to love that mix. As for the "older" crowd, do not confuse their age with their music preference. I do many "mature" events and while I will not play High School Prom music, I will not just play 50's-80's; they do like current music, too! But, yes, throw backs done correctly gets them energized and mixed current music in just raises the bar. Love your vids - keep 'em coming!

you just need to switch to QSC man
