I got a hand written card maybe 2-3 times. That's pretty awesome. I think some of it is a generational thing that younger folks just don't do as much of. I'm sure there are exceptions, like Tasco's clients.... I don't know them, but from what I understand of them, they remind me of the old...

Big fan of Post Modern Jukebox. Especially when Haley Reinhart is singing. I could marry her voice, LOL. Not listening to much this week.... but I've had two songs stuck in my head lately.... Pink Pony Club and Suga Boom Boom. Why you ask? I wish I knew.... I don't even recall the...

Just wondering if anyone here has ever used Sweetwater's Gear Exchange to sell any of their used gear? I see they take like 7.5% for their fee, but I'd imagine visibility is better than my local FB marketplace. Seems like they handle the payment process as well, so not getting paid shouldn't...

I'm probably on the opposite end of the spectrum from the initial thought of this thread, but I'll share... even before I did my first gig on my own, I bought a pair of EV 18" ETX subs with 12" tops. I had hoped I'd use them for every event, and I'd offer great sound to everyone and be able...

In my area, fairly rural, but both dj's and photographers travel - photographers are getting 1.5-4x what DJ's are making.

The Everse 8 came out a few months after I bought my Bose S1. I've wanted one since they came out, but it's hard to justify having an S1 I've only used maybe times. LOL. Anyone wanna buy a "like new" Bose S1 speaker? :P

I'm in the exact same boat (minus friends in the Bahamas, LOL). I'm a computer guy by trade as well... maybe it's an IT thing, LOL. I will say, in my short 3 years of dj'ing as a hobby, I've learned it's a tough industry. There is no way I could do it in my area full time and earn a high...

I have the ADJ pro-event table II and it's been a good table. I also have the i-beam for lights that goes with it. My biggest con with the whole thing is just the bag for the table itself. It's garbage. I'm on my second one and it already has holes in it. ADJ gives you a very thin, cheaply...

Is that an Evolve 50?

These numbers blow my mind. I live in Pa and the Avg. is 33k. THE AVERAGE. My wife and I spent right at 8K for ours, and that included everything... Technically, to get that average, someone else is spending 58k on their wedding. I just can't imagine. I guess we do get wiser with age. My...

Maybe... If you're just starting out and don't have 80% of those, sure, it would be worth it. If I had to give my top 40 songs played at a wedding, maybe 1 or 2 of those would be on there. I think you'd be better off doing an internet search for top 100 wedding songs. Look at a few different...

@logisticalstyles - Yep, right there with you. Since the weekend I've been playing around with my Rockwedges, Wash FX's and even my little Kinda fx using the Rockville dongles for the wash's and kinta, and having great success with all of them doing what I want, when I want. I'm happy with...

Just figured I'd follow-up to my original post here. I ended up buying a Rockville Rockforce W4 384 dmx controller. I got it on Friday and had some time over the weekend to try it out. There is still a learning curve, like any DMX controller, but I was able to get everything the way I wanted...

@Ausumm - The Control One is basically an interface box in itself. It connects via usb to your laptop and has two outputs. I use my wireless donner transmitter in one of those and that's all I've ever used. The software is installed on your laptop, and has a built-in interface for Serato and...

Last summer, I switches from Chauvet ShowXPress to SoundSwitch for my lighting control. I had been using two laptops for ShowXPress and it just felt really cumbersome. I liked that I could control different sets of lights independently. I bought the "Control 1" for Soundswich to have the...
