The things I have work well for me and the events I do. I know one of the things you're talking about. The Phoenix Pro 5000 wireless mic system. I get that you wouldn't even consider that system. For me it works. I don't have any issues that that system. It's not the Shure QLXD...

I said it how I meant it. Hopefully you learn over time what to buy and what not to buy if you stay in this business long enough. Some think of this as an easy thing being a DJ. There's more to it than what people see. So some quit because they find out it's not as easy as it seems...

What are you talking about? You're one in a 200 great DJ God. My experience is that there are different reasons why a person wants to become a DJ. I just know the ones I know and have talked to have told me when they first started out they didn't know what they were doing buying equipment to...

I bought a pair Gem Sound wireless mics from GC many years ago for $50. It was a purchase just to get by with. Pure junk. That system has been in the garage I guess 5 years ago. My experience is when you first become a DJ you don't know high quality equipment vs stuff that works but not...

That's what normally should happen. There should be more than enough food for an event and the caterer should charge accordingly. Better safe than sorry. Also there was no restrictions on how much each individual person was allowed to put on their plate. What happened to servers for the...

Ricky brought up the thing about the Pandemic.

The Pandemic was designed to scare people into getting that experimental vaccine claiming if you don't take it you have a strong possibility of dying. I have never taken that vaccine and never plan to. Anybody can catch anything from anywhere. The thing was for people to go into panic mode...

Thanks for your post Ricky. I like what you said. He's the deal. You said it was Christian people attending the wedding. That explains why there was no alcohol at that wedding. You said you were surprised at how much they partied at that wedding. Alcohol doesn't always have to be at...

I don't know what photographers are getting paid in this area. I haven't asked a photographer what they are getting paid. My concern is what am I to be paid to do an event? That's what's important to me.

I had some songs I put on my HD because I have back to back Fridays to do events. I went to see if the songs I added would come up on VDJ and on one laptop they wouldn't come up and on the other one they came right up. That's strange to me. I don't know why those songs would only show up on...

I love your thing about a promotion. Other companies have done that. For a limit time drop the price down to a level that's comfortable for you to make the profit you want. Say for example advertise the regular price. Then for example give the discounted price and make it for the last day...

I have a few questions for Rick. Please Rick don't take this as a put down or anything like that. On average with Ryan's Acres how many bookings do you get each month? Are you satisfied with the number of bookings you get each month? I'm asking these questions because it's about anyone of...

I have a question. Is there a DJ causing problems for your business? What I learned is to stop blaming other people for my short coming and keep the focus on what I need to do and fix the things I need to fix. There are those on here that are not worried about a DJ charging $300 to do a...

Thanks sir. That's one of the best post you've ever made because you didn't put anyone down for how they are running their own business.

When will you have time to do those things you mentioned? You're busy with Karaoke and at times other events besides owning a venue. LOL.

What this reminds me of is when Gibson bought Cerwin Vega. They don't have a clue about DJ gear. They came up with a 15" top speaker that I saw in GC and listened to. It wasn't cheap. It sounded like sugar honey ice tea. I know the speaker was selling for at least say $750. I was...

I see you missed what I'm saying. I said that some potential clients will have on their mind how much they are looking to pay a DJ to do an event for them. Where do you get the idea about a potential client telling a DJ how much they will pay for said DJ to do an event for them. When...

I bought 2 cables to use with my phone and Bluetooth ear piece. One of the wires never worked at all. Both wires are exactly the same. I don't understand why one cable works and the other doesn't when they both identical made by the same company.

Damn that sucks. I love my QSC K12.2 speakers. I wonder what will happen to the production of those speakers?

The title of this thread is funny to me. It says people tricking a DJ into giving away an item or service for free. How does a client trick a DJ into doing that?

Here's right where it's at. Some potential clients already have a price in mind on what they want to pay a DJ to do an event for them. It's our job to do our best to convince the potential client to book us. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Sometimes a potential client has a...

I said it the way I did because I hate when the topic switches to price. Instead of saying doing a wedding for $600 is not enough for a DJ to do a wedding. Just simply say you wouldn't do it wedding for $600. I don't mean you sir. I'm talking in general. What one DJ would do an event for...

I don't know.

Again what is cheap? What some may call cheap others see it as some decent money $600. It's about what you are able to command. Some on here wouldn't do a wedding for $600 because they know they can get paid a lot more and someone is right around the corner willing to pay their price to do a...

I know this is an older thread. First off it's about if you have the things to offer and what the cost will be if they want that item/service. So there's no confusion. I can't blame the customer for trying to get something for free. It's up to the person providing a service what they...
