True. Very true. And, of course, moving forward I'll do just that...simply delete any strobing from the programming. Easiest solution. And of course, if it was one of the guests that came to me with the issue I would have immediately spoken with the bride and groom to let them know why I was...

Agreed. As much as I wanted to accommodate the venue (if I could have easily done so and still given the bride and groom what they paid for), I would have certainly done so. I don't approach it that it has to be an "us" (dj's) versus "them" (venue) mentality. We both have the same ultimate goal...

Interesting perspective. Thanks for the input, Rick!

I appreciate the input knowing you operate a venue. Maybe you don't realize with Soundswitch the limitations that existed to try and accomplish what the venue was asking in the heat of the moment. I do feel that I try to accommodate whatever I can in the moment be it from venue or B&G or even...

Input please. I recently had a wedding where the venue mentioned two weeks prior to the event that the First Dances, Toasts and Dinner would occur in one room and the Dancing for the evening would take place in another room where a permanent bar area was (but no seating in this area). I've not...

A hopefully helpful reminder: Sometimes all of the fault-finding on here gets draining. It's simply not productive and reading through this post I gotta admit it sounds like an old crotchety married couple just bitching at one another and looking for something negative to say to the other...

Hey, anyone have issues with their Dongles lasting? :laugh: In particular, I have a pack of 4 Donner receivers (battery operated) and I've had one just stop working entirely and it's a crap-shoot as to how long the others last without plugging them in. I had them fully charged before doing a...

I like Yeti mics...Thanks for suggesting this one!

Thanks everyone! Kinda wondered. I mean, I know expensive doesn't always mean better but it seemed to have a cheap feel to me.

Anyone use a mic like this for livestreaming or recording etc? https://www.kpodj.com/jts-pm-35-usb-livestream-microphone-usb-podcast-mic-w--stand-p-112210

Has anyone used these? I like the rechargeable idea but it said run-time is 3 hrs (unless, of course, you're only using solid color which who wants to be limited at that?). 3 hrs seems to make it rather worthless when you're doing at least 4-6+ hrs of dancefloor or up-lighting

For me, the challenge is that, being newer to the biz, I was just starting to ramp up before all of this hit so, unfortunately, I don't have the advantage of many years of referral business to help maintain some momentum. So it's been a bit tricky to know how much to invest in time, energy...

These are awesome! Where'd you get it? And can you whatever songs you want and it will play video accordingly with animation?

I read the thread talking about storing gear in the cold. My question is a bit different. What about playing in colder environments. Just for fun I thought about mixing on my front porch during Beggar's Night...Some fun songs for kids and the adults. However, the temp took a turn this week and...

Just noticed this too. IMO that's sort of sales technique is lame. If you really are going out of business and are trying to liquidate your stock without taking a bath, don't try jacking up prices to give a fake percentage off. Simply adjust your percentage accordingly. I was looking at the ADJ...
