Any of you guys in the Council Bluffs, IA area that can handle a wedding on 7/20. I have a lead that thought I was in their area and is ready to book. PM me.

I'm working on some voice recordings for a clients IVR and need to convert the WAV files created in Ableton to CCT U-Law format. I had a utility on my Ubuntu box whose PSU blew a week ago so looking for a windows alternative. Any suggestions appreciated.

I bought an On Stage Stands T-Stand about 4 months ago and have used it 3 times with the last this past weekend. When I packed up that night I noticed the button on one of the extension legs missing and the cap on the same leg was gone. I take care of my gear and did not drop or bump it, nor...

I have a wedding coming up this Fall where the couple wants "spotlight service" for their grand intro. This will be an add on to the existing contract and I promised a price today. I am a one man show and would like to handle this solo but will charge enough to pay an assistant for that night...

I picked one of these up after Steve recommended it in another post. It arrived today. I am pleased so far and will be getting another. It cost less than the Bose L1 compact and has a little thump thanks to the sub. I played a couple of tunes direct from my NS6 and it sounded great for...

"Question: HELLO MY NAME IS TONY AND I WAS WONDERING FROM WHAT TIME WILL YOU NEED THE DJ AT YOUR EVENT AND HOW MANY HOURS.WILL IT BE INDOORS OR OUT.WHAT KIND OF MUSIC YOU WANTING.AND HOW MANY POEPLE WILL ATTEND" Just saw this question from another DJ to a wedding prospect. At first thought my...

Just upgraded to Serato DJ and did this with the NS6 and LaunchPad via the new (to me at least) midi capability. Its a bit rough , about 2 takes. I plan to clean it up or do a retake in Ableton in time for a birthday party Im doing in 3 weeks. Let me know what you think. Dougie MellowMix

Just recieved my first cancellation for the year for a late April wedding. I met with the couple this past weekend and all seemed well at the time. Go figure. "Hi Theo, What a difference a day makes... I'm sad to say that we will not be moving forward with the wedding. We ended our...

Prepping for an upcoming wedding. What are your thoughts on this monogram?

I met with a couple last night. We went through the basic stuff and out of no where they asked me if I could beat box. My response, "of course". Then I asked "what exactly are you looking for and at what point during the reception would you like this done?" They laughed and came back with...

I have 1 of 16 SlimPar 56s (#7 in the chain) that isn't responding to DMX. It started while testing some programming in Freestyler for an upcoming gig. I last used the lights together in December via DMX without issue. The following was done to troubleshoot: Ensured channel was...

Did a venue visit with a client today. During the lighting demo portion my Galaxian was not responding well to the remote but enough to get me through. The activity light was strong so I assumed it was the fixture. When I got back in I thought to try a new battery and it worked like a charm...

I have a wedding in a couple of weeks where I will be in a cramped space and am considering this to streamline. Any thoughts on why not to try this? This idea was inspired from another board. I added my own flavor to it by mounting a Jellyfish below the integrated top plate and a P36 LED...

I have a wedding in July where the client wants a gobo, slideshow, and a couple of pattern projectors to accent the head table and floor in front (she didnt ask for them by name but shows me some pics of what she wanted). I have 2 projectors that will take care of the gobo and slideshow. I am...

I am looking to add a wireless system to my ceremony rig to reduce setup/tear down time. I have my eye on the Line 6 G30 or the Wi Digital JMWAL35. For the speaker I am looking at the Samson XP40iW. Are any of you doing similar if so what are you using?

Interesting controller from Numark. Its more of an add on to an existing system. http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/23/numark-orbit-wireless-midi-dj-controller-hands-on-video/

Did a 3 hour holiday karaoke party today for a food services contractor at NorthWood University. Its also my last gig of the year. Things started a bit slow. There was no room for dancing so I did a lot of holiday music between performers and door prizes. Had about 12 karaoke sets 2 of which...

Did karaoke at a church function last night. The folks had a blast. I picked up a new client as well. I used Karaoki and the Remote Request system that a few of the PCDJ developers put together a few years back. Its pretty cool. I just wish there was a way access my library and make...

If a client made claims in a review about your service that you disagreed with would you take them to court? I read this story on foxnews where a contractor sued a client for defamation. Here is a link if you wish to read it...

I am starting to get more requests to do karaoke and am looking for a better way for singers to search for songs other than my 120 page binder. I really want to figure out how I can create a database that I could use on my Android Tab that will allow singers to sort and select eliminating...

The security team of the company I work for just released a warning about a scam offer for an iTunes gift card. The message has "iTunes, Christmas gift card for [Your Name" or "Christmas gift card" in the subject line.

Its looking like my feedback response rate for 2012 is going to be 10% of my total bookings for the year (2 of 15) not including 2 events I have in the next 4 weeks. All of my clients have verbally expressed satisfaction with my service and I have received tips on all except 2 events however...
