A post for the loners out there!

OK,

I do allot of first dances etc. and they always follow a speech in which i am away from the booth. Being a loan DJ how can I remotely play the first dance or any other tracks (ie happy birthday) wirelessly

In some situations it would bebetter not to have to go back until half way through the first dance etc. Or when I am in the crod and need to play a certain track (ie embarrassing a birthday girl or something, best man speech audio etc.)

I have some wireless tranmitters but they are cheap ones.
I run a vestax VCI and a macbook.

I was thinking of an ipod type afair?
It needs to be discreet.

I can stick this on the booth and just use the remote



Any other ideas

Toby, firstly...if you're a loan DJ (as said above)...loan us a few grand!

Does it really matter to be out on the floor? I never do that personally and stay put behind the decks. Everyone knows where I am.

Thats why i bought a wireless mic
I see your point, but like to get in amongst people at some events (not all).

I like it especially at dinner functions for older folk.
They seem to be more friendly when i get going.

Dont know I just never wanted to be the DJ hiding behind loads of gear shouting out muffled humour all night that no one can hear or understand.*
Come on we have all been to weddings with DJ's like that.

you could always get a tonium pacemaker Toby - hey, you can even join the guests on the dancefloor and DJ at the same time

what software are you running?

Toby, I have a wireless mic and have wandered out before. I generally do it if someone wants to make a speech so I walk out and announce it and give them the microphone.

I could even do the first dance for the groom. He can go to the bar and get some drinks.
That is a good idea although I usually use the djing as an excuse not too when i get asked.

The pacemaker still needs a wireless sender? an ipod would suffice as its only one track. or several for a best man speech or so.
I am always wandering at the end of an event sorting out lights or what not so it would be very helpful then as i often miss the end of some ending tracks (not that anyone ever notices).

what software are you running?

Serato Itch
But i use itunes for playlist. so a wireless device that can control a playlist of a few tracks would be helpful.
also got DJAY but do not use it a the VCI controls both even though I have told it not too?

I've successfully used one of those USB remote clicker things that you can get for doing powerpoint presentations.

Basically there's a dongle goes in the computer and a handheld switch.

Line up the mouse pointer over the item you want to click on (PLAY, for example ) and away you go.

There's a bunch of them like Logitech R400 Wireless Presenter: Amazon.co.uk:... but make sure you get one where you can map a button to left-click

I am not with you

So you line up the mouse over the track? What if it moves when its in your pocket and puts on the wrong track?
Would it work through an itunes playlist?

Looks cool though:
