Hi, its a KAM KBA15 - thanks.
Selling these as I have long since upgraded and already have other back ups. No more space for hoarding gear! Hardly used, felt on one speaker a little scuffed in the corner but not noticeable....
I agree. If prices are already competitive you just end up attracting the type of clientele who are hard work and you spend the evening at the gig thinking " and I am doing this :Censored: for how...
That does sound like an intersting idea, I use the DDJ SX controller and I cannot get happy with the quality of the sound from the mic. interestingly, when I have dispensed with the controller, use...
In terms of compromising weight and performance, I continue to find the Mackies SRM 450's a good option, on their own, although for bigger functions 120 - 200 I add a 15" sub and have never had an...
I find when its really cold, go to the venue a little early, let the gear warm up before hooking it up.
Silica gel in the flight case / bags doesn't help with the temperature change, but the warmer...
Hi there! Welcome!
Thanks for this, and in case anyone may find it useful, I have been told mixmeister can also do it.
Hi all, here's a question I am sure someone can can help with!
I want to make a continuous mix and save it to a USB. I use Serato DJ and a Mac.
I understand I can record a live set directly...
A lovely local wedding on Sunday, which was great fun - small setup, and 90's were most of the requests.
Received a round of applause, having had a request for Laidback Luke, Pogo, never played it...
Did a 50th, which turned out to be a function for local Travellers which I was unaware of. Bar closed at 10.30 with mandatory fisticuffs in tha car park TrAveller style. Yikes. Made my escape at 11....
I use the mackie srm 450s and recommend them. Save up if you can, they are light to handle, sound good and pretty robust.
Okay, we had a slot today, so agreed to do a kids party. I never do under 13, but a rush of blood to the head and we are surrounded by 50 seven year olds. Told the father we are dj's as opposed to...
They will expect big tracks after midnight, but its the same as most functions, read the crowd, don't peak too early, and dont forget a few sing-alongs after 12 too!
Last week was the most drunken wedding I have ever done. I arrived at 6pm to set up and most of the 60 or so guests were bladdered. First dance, bride dressed as an air hostess and danced around the...
I turn down any 18th enquiries unless they are in upmarket venues with private security.
Not really interested in the hassle otherwise
Was playing Kingston town, bride came over and demanded it get changed because "reggae is too easy to dance to" :confused:
I had that problem on a pair of Peaveys once. A drop of epoxy sorted it for good.
I think it's a judgement call, between keeping the guests happy, and flying solo. I find that if i have the dance floor full, any requests will be played later on. If it's quiet, play them straight...
I guess you choose a price you think you are worth, rather than sell yourself short. Ultimately the market will dictate if this is sustainable. If you are busy at your price, then the market has...
