I have a few venues that absolutely eat tape, and a handful I barely use any at all. I carry black, grey, brown, and white all the time. I've been using a ton of grey lately because we work at a venue called DAR a lot that requires a long run for main power across foot paths that guests use...

I've posted that I own these elsewhere, but I'm a fan of the EV. The onboard power that can run a wireless receiver is a huge value add for me. Being able to pop a wireless receiver on this makes it a perfect candidate for my typical use case. The speaker itself sounds a touch flat to me...

Correct. And they must not have sold very well cause the next iteration of them was a very much cheaper speaker that didn't sound nearly as good. But I have heard those Pioneers AB tested against QSC and RCF speakers and I think it sounded better than both.

After complaining about having too many speakers, I ordered a second Everse 8 yesterday. The battery powered flexibility is really powerful for me. I've got a historic manor wedding coming up in September and the ease of not having to bring a battery in addition to the speaker itself is too...

The speaker inventory part of this is fun. And it makes me feel better that I'm not the only one with way too much stuff hanging around. Current main system: 2 RCF NXL14A Tops 2 RCF SUB 18 AX Subs 2 RCF J8 Column Arrays - for small gigs or hand-carry situations where I can't practically get...

If you removed the derby's and added their little movers it would be more compelling to me. But I rarely see DJs using these types of solutions doing the type of work I want to do.

I think there is a balance to the thinking on stuff like this. Some DJs can't stop themselves from buying gear even if it won't ever make them a dime. But more commonly, I think your sentiment is the one I see. "If I can't charge X more, why would I invest?" There are lots of things that...

No highs, no lows... must be Bose :)

What does that have to do with the thread? How many bookings do you have contracts for this year, Mix?

I've had much better pacing for my Spring, 3 YTD weddings and 1 sound rental set up that I did. 1 more this month 4 in June 1 September 6 in October 2 in November That puts me at 17 for the year, which is exactly where I wanted to be at 15-20. I would still love to spread the pacing even more...

The irony here is the two stories you're telling at the same time. Story 1 is how locked in you are to exactly what you do and how you don't want to change. Story 2 is how after your partner pressured you into finally caving on using a laptop to DJ, now you love it! You are resisting change...

My number is published, but I hate when people call it out of the blue. Its just my normal cell that is listed, so I don't necessarily answer it like a business. Most inquiries I get are through my web form that has the date of the event which lets me confirm availability and then set up a...

Ebay is kind of a strange place to look, but iDJNow has one open box for $718 listed as mint condition: https://www.idjnow.com/qsc-cb10-speaker-system-1pk-used.html I have the EVerse 8 which I really like. It has onboard power for a wireless mic receiver, so I can use it as a totally standalone...

That's a very cool shot. I started getting into hobby photography when I bought a Nikon 3300, and really enjoyed what I could do with a prime lens and creating the depth of field look. The fact that phone cameras can reproduce that look fairly accurately right now is crazy to me. I know they...

Where do you keep all of this stuff? Are you paying for storage or just keeping a room full of gear in your apartment?
