I have a ceremony coming up and thought it would be nice to also record the ceremony. Is there an app for the iPhone that will allow me to record from the headphone jack as an input? Anyone else done something similar? I don't have the budget for a handheld recorder at the moment, just thought...

I own the Audio Technica AT2000 wireless handheld mic system but need a lavalier for an upcoming gig. Instead of buying another AT2000 system with a lavalier could I just buy the unipak and lavalier and use with my existing receiver? I am aware you cannot use both the handheld and lavalier at...

Who has the best price on dmx cable? I need to get a few short cables to connect par cans on a tbar and the shortest cables I can find doing a short search are 5ft. I have checked nlfx's website, what other stores do you recommend?

I added a sub to my rig and instead of just getting a regular crossover I decided to purchase a driverack pa+. I haven't purchased the rta mic yet but wondered how many use thier driverack with or without the mic. Also I am using one Peavey SP118 subwoofer, what frequency should the...

So far amazon has the best deals I could find. Does anyone have a source that has better prices? I am looking to replace the stock power cords with my flat par pro's.

I need to purchase some new dmx cable and IEC power cables for my uplighting. I have only 15 lights at the moment. How many and what size cable lengths would you purchase to cover a majority of venues (whats a good assortment to keep in my cable tote? not too much, not too little) Maybe? 10...

I need to be able to project custom gobos and have had my mind set on using the Martin PR1. I ran across a deal for a used qspot260 for about the same price as a new martin PR1. Would you just buy the qspot260 since you can rotate the gobo and move its position over dmx? Or is the 60w led not...

Situation has been settled......mods please delete this post

I am ready to purchase a few colorstrips and remember hearing over and over again about how bright they are. What I don't understand is that they have a dimming channel for dmx, so why is everyone complaining? Can I use dmx to make the colorstrip go through a program to play all of its built...

I was searching the board and saw that odjt member rlelek created a guide called "The FreeStyler Guide" a few years ago and I was hoping someone here still had a copy on thier hd. I was able to download the first 3 chapters he had uploaded to the board but after the 3rd chapter he only released...

What are your thoughts on the mini moving heads like Chauvet Min Spot? Is a 15w led they bright enough? I cannot find any videos of the gobo being shot across a large room, every video I see is a living room or small bedroom with the lights almost completely black. Most of my venues are not...

I just got into uplighting and was wondering if I should just buy a spool of dmx cable and make my own custom cables or just buy a large variety of various cable lengths? Would you just create your own cables or buy them? I have a total of 30 uplights. Thanks, Shane

Would like to know what cd's other guys keep in their toolbox for ceremonies. I am in need of some good traditional music for the guest arrival and contemporary music for the guest departure. Anyone know of any good compilation cd's for each type? If not a compilation cd what are some must have...

I need to pick up a couple of mics for a few different purposes. From singers to comedians, I need an all purpose mic and always heard that this was pretty much the standard. Would picking up the SM58 be a good choice or is there better within the same price range or less? Shane

I have a ceremony coming up and now the bride emailed me saying she needs a guitar amp and 2 microphones on stands for musicians who will be playing music, in between the music she asked me to play. Why is it musicians take gigs without amplification or a PA period? That's like me agreeing to...

I am starting to put together a small ceremony rig and need a mic. Do you guys mic the officiate or the groom? Or do you just place a hand held mic on a stand nearby? I am thinking that putting a lav on the officiate would be the best option so guest can clearly hear him as well as the...

Just had a client call me who cannot find a dj, we are booked for that date. She is having a post wedding celebration and just wants to have a nice party for her friends and family at her parents house outdoors. Send me a PM for the clients email/phone. edit: she also mentioned they rented a...

Don't see this brought up too often...... What is appropriate for a female DJ/MC to wear during formal events? Also what is standard for a relaxed gig? If the client expects the male dj to wear a "suit & tie" what would the female version of a "suit & tie" be? Thanks!

I have always had large speakers that I just sat on the floor......For the guys with speaker stands do you use a cover? Dj Skirts, Scrim king or other? I am not to crazy about the dj skirts speaker cover and I don't like how the scrim-king only covers the front, not the entire tripod. On the...
