So, those of you who read my Pre-Gig post, know I was concerned about this gig. When i got to the site, having to take my mom's car as my truck isn't covered, i was pleasanty surprised at what i saw. They had a professional wedding-quality 16x16 tent set up with walls (that came down when it stopped raining). Very sturdy. The only disadvantage was that the ground was a little wet and uneven, preventing from putting my speaker on the sub. I grabbed a piece of pywood to set up my sub on under my rack's table and was good to go. This was my 2nd major gig running primarily PCDJ and with new Vista software, an upgraded laptop and memory and an external soundcard, the sound was EXCELLENT. The event was 5 hours and overall went well. I brought 2 laptops, one was for PCDJ and the other was for emergency downloads which i had none of thank goodness. The new DNX-500 was amazing and really improved my sound. Oh and it cleared up for about 4 hours and ppl enjoyed the pool and then it poured and i was surrounded by about 20 very..attractive young ladies. (keep in mind i'm 17 here ppl). Comments and criticism accepted and duly noted and thanked. And yeah the skirting is messed up, the sub and moisture killed them plus i had to cover a piece of plywood the sub was sitting on.Facade is the next purchase.

We need to see the women before providing an opinion :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
 
I think someone needs to learn how to resize pictures....


Just a thought...
 
Gotta love them shows out on the lawn. Table legs and speaker poles sink into the ground. You'll sink too if you stand in one spot long enough. :D

Congrats on a successful show. :)
 
Thanks for resizing them. I havent yet figured out how to do it on vista. Perhaps i'm an idiot. And downloading a resizer is too much trouble for lazy me. Thanks though. As for crowd shots, i typically never take pics of the crowd and i had already put my cam in the truck anyhow. Sorry fellas.

When I have to set up on grass I will put small pieces of plywood (8" x 8" sqaures) under each foot of my speaker stands to prevent tipping and increase stability. Just a tip to avoid future potential problems.

How did the event go for you?

Excellent idea, something that I've never considered...until now.

One hell of an idea, and just like you mentioned they won't sink into the ground and less adjustments are needed to make the stand stay straight.
 
I like the idea for the plywood but sinking wasnt an issue in my case. The ground where I was set up was hard as a rock, but the grade of the land lowered and it was very uneven, i was finally able to find a spot for the stands but it was still pretty uneven. The event went very well anyhow.
