I always I need to attempt to be aware of anything that could possibly affect my performance if possible. I would have looked at the fuel gauge when I arrived and mentioned it seemed rather low to the person in charge, not my responsibility to fix the problem but taking a very small extra step sure makes my day much better
We've never had an issue with the sound cutting in and out at an event outside.
I'll say it again. The sound didn't cut off. Like I said the first one we did wasn't a large crowd. It certainly wasn't just 10 people. It wasn't a super large crowd. Just mediocre honestly. After word spread about the first one and how the DJs played, the second one was through the roof! .
150 people is not through the roof that’s an average night at a wedding for me
The thing is that was a guess. I know it was way more than that and please remember you said a wedding. This was not a wedding. Compared to the first crowd for the first time we did it, this was WAY better with more people. The sound wasn't cutting in and out all day. As you put it 2 minutes if it did happen.
It’s weird how you always talk around facts that you admit were a problem in a previous post about the event, it’s almost like your deny facts much like an addict does
That’s what I do I have the cables I need for 99% of events in a small cable bag, I have an old mechanic tool box with sliding drawers in the trailer with spares and stuff i rarely use
Yup, I do that. I don't have much use for RCA cables these days yet still have a ton of them. My 1/4" cables are only used when I deal with live acts so they don't come to many gigs. My 100' cables stay at home most of the time too as do my Neutrik cables if I am not using passive speakers. I have plenty of short cables but these are mostly used in places where they remain permanently wired (e.g. in racks). I don't need additional ones of those at gigs. That still leaves me with plenty of cables (XLR, AC) in 10', 15', 20', 25', 30' and 40' lengths. I don't need most if I'm not doing live sound. I bring what I think I need and a few extra to deal with a couple of broken cables or an unexpected hookup.
Sure, but I seriously doubt that was the issue.
Of course why would you want to put in any extra effort to attempt to improve your reputation
Again we were never contracted to have anything to do with any generator for the event. Please remember what I said. There was no gas can filled with gas as a backup. That's what should have been there even if it never was used. So stop saying we should have seen ways to prevent it from happening. I know you're never going to see it our way and that's fine. You have a right to feel the way you do.
That is a key difference between you and the more successful DJs. You may not be responsible for the gen but you are dependent on the power from it and you did nothing to insure you would have it. It would have taken you 30 seconds to see if the gas was low and then maybe another minute to find a responsible person to report that more was needed.
