We've got the Tour d'france near us shortly so I've been asked to do a Euro disco for a coulple of hours to round off a 'euro evening'. I thought I'd try and get them thinking by asking them to name...

Thanks DazzyD - I know a couple of sparkies so I'll tap them up!

I bet it was the polarity that was wrong - the adapter does have a dial to alter it. I'm waiting for another reply from American Audio - seems to take a couple of days! I see a few companies on the...

My VMS2 controller has no mains adaptor but works perfectly well on USB - that is until for some idiotic reason I thought I'd try it on one of those 'multi-voltage' adaptors set to 6v. The unit went...

I'm using these as well and have to say I was disappointed at them clipping on red on what I would consider to be not overly loud volumes. I concur with the poster who said to stick your master on...

Thanks for all those ideas guys - I listened to the Irish Washerwoman on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CewyTGQR9Pw (familiar tune actually, hear it everywhere)
and going by the style...

I've picked up a 50th in July and have been asked if I can play a couple of songs to Barn Dance to. Got me stumped I'm afraid, are there any 'standards' that a barn dancer(?) will instantly...

Thanks for those thoughts - I've decided my next lead purchase will be a better grade. I have had a few fail over the years so if it gets rid of that problem it's worth it.

Read one or two comments on here about using top grade XLR leads (Van Damme etc.) from mixer to active speakers. Is there really much of a difference in sound quality if I 'upgrade'? I just use...

Just to close this out in case my experience is useful to anyone. The 15" driver on these is dead easy to get out. Just take the front grid off and there it is. Screws out and unclip the leads -...

Thanks Chrisj, I'll give them a try.

The main driver (15") in one of my Alto ts115a's has blown. Does anyone know if I can source one of these drivers in the UK as the Alto website says they have no recognised dealers in this...

I use this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unK1yGbL9nk

Go Team - Bust Out Brigade I use samples of different parts of the song as well throughout the night.

He does a bit of Dj'ing - he was in Manchester city centre a few weeks ago. I think he should try a wedding and see how well and evening of punk and indie goes down withy the usual mixed crowd. I...

What do you think of this article on wedding dj's by respected Mancunian muso and journalist John Robb? Love his band, Goldblade though... Mind you they use a set list like everyone else!!

...

Cracked it. Thanks. Turns out it was the latest updates to the Atheros wireless driver that caused it. Trouble is Win 7 keeps trying to update to the latest so I've disabled the auto update...

Thanks for that. Just got in from a kids disco - It's my main machine so hate it when it does something I'm not used to! Performs pefectly at gigs though. Funny how you come to rely on your laptop...

Gave those a go. Thanks for your help, but no luck. Still the lovely blue screen. Ok on ethernet though. As soon as I type the access key in on wireless - Bang! it goes. The drivers themselves are...

Thanks Guy's for those thought's. I'll give them a go when I get in from work later.

I always enjoy reading this forum so will take the time to contribute where I can. I DJ part time, a few weddings a year and a regular spot at a local club. Have been doing it for about 7 years now...

Any ideas on this one? My laptop is hp g780 running windows 7. For some reason it's started crashing whenever I try to connect wirelessly. It's fine with an ethernet cable but immediatley gives...

I usually end with Morecambe and Wise - Give me Sunshine. Some of the younger end may not know it, but if you've got a few 30/s and 40's in there it's surprising how quickly they latch on to the...

Hello again - latest from planet Dalzeah. Tried the laptop again and banged the volume up this time - thanks steve. However the volume was only where I had it for my last gig, (about 50%) before I...

Got me thinking for a minute there! Yes, I pulled the plug from the laptop headphone socket whilst it was playing and got sound from the laptop speakers.

Thanks Tone, Really appreciate the help - I'm learning!
