    Keep my old Passive speakers and amps? Or Sell?

    I've owned a pair of JRX 125s for many years. I replaced/upgraded the horn after a year or so and they sound just fine for playing prerecorded music. I crank they hell out of them (with clean, properly structured signals) and they are still making me money. If you ruined them "time and time...

    Local DJ being taken to court

    Lessons learned caused me to go from 'Final payment due by event day' to 'Final payment due no less than 14 days prior to event day. Failure to meet the payment deadline releases the DJ from the contractual obligation, however, the contract will still be honored with the addition of a $50 late...

    All In One Light Show

    I looked hard at the T-Par system (it's the most functional foundation for a light rig, imo) but the dependence on their stand was a deal breaker for me. It's probably the only light of it's kind in the industry that will not allow you to use a traditional tripod, due to their stupid connector...

    Got my first two events through Eventective

    Sorry, I fail to see how being "new" only gets me leads hundreds of miles away. I paid my money, like any other customer. Sounds like you're telling me they stole my money....and all the local leads go to only long standing customers. If that's the case, they're as sleazy as I believed.

    Got my first two events through Eventective

    I've found that most of the referral clearing houses are a joke. I've paid for several credit packs over at thumbtack and never booked a single gig. After years of badgering, I took a shot with gigmasters. What a waste. In 3 months I've received 4 leads....the events were anywhere from 300-600...

    New Speakers are HERE! (Bose F1)

    I think a big part of that is being located BEHIND your drivers. It's pretty easy to think that it's not loud enough when you're vantage point is not what the crowd's is.

    Serato DJ help needed

    Finally got a chance to mess around with it again today and....eureka! I replaced the USB cable and also went and installed the drivers, which my kid apparently overlooked when he did the firmware. Thanks to you guys for your assistance. I'll probably have more questions as I go along but for...

    Serato DJ help needed

    I have considered the cord. Will definitely replace that. Of course I have it powered up. I've tried it on bus power as well as it's own dedicated power cord. Both work. As stated, it cycles through the lights and the sound is transferred from the laptop...but thats it. Zero controls are...

    Serato DJ help needed

    Never used Itch. I purchased this thing used and the previous owner was already using Serato DJ....but I did the firmware update anyhow....just to be sure I was up to date. I can't imagine it being a mapping issue, since I did the specific download for this controller. We even deleted the first...

    No. Its a windows machine....10.

    Serato DJ help needed

    Firmware has been updated and the unit lights up when powered. None of the controls have any effect on the program when connected. As I stated, the music on the laptop is sending a signal to the controller and I can hear it through the headphones....but everything else is non functional.

    Serato DJ help needed

    I'm attempting to dive into the world of computer based DJing, after years of fighting it. I have purchased a Pioneer DDJS1 and have upgraded all firmware to current spec. I have downloaded the current version of Serato DJ (1.8.1) but I have run into a wall with the setup. The mixer powers...

    Made my last purchase (maybe) for 2015

    I have the earlier version of the MG 12. It's been a rock solid piece of gear and the heart of my passive rig for more than a decade. Can't go wrong with these mixers.

    Possible banner for Jewish trade show this next weekend

    This is one guy who clearly has no issues with growth and rates. I would like to be half as busy. Rick, the one thing I would ask is why you don't have a professionally designed logo by now? Logo Tournament is the way to go.

    It won't stop, will it?

    I've done public transit/bus driving. The attrition rate is massive. It takes a rare breed of cat to juggle driving (every lunatic in the world wants to cut the bus off, texting drivers, elders, teens, etc), cashiering (some systems don't use cash, some do), problems with foreigners who can't...

    Great Deal on Nikon D3200 Camera w/ 18-55mm Lens - $294

    Didn't they sell Woot to Amazon a couple years ago? Still a decent deal there from time to time. Picked up a Chromebook last fall (with lifetime 4G service) for $169.

    Great Deal on Nikon D3200 Camera w/ 18-55mm Lens - $294

    MEH is pretty cool. IMO, they have surpassed WOOT as the better daily deal site for miscellaneous crap.

    Gear in a trailer, heat and cold?

    Same deal here. I am in North Dakota, there are few places on the planet with greater extremes in climate. My passive, rack mounted system and speakers live in a trailer, under moving blankets...and have for more than a decade.

    Are there any "Odd" songs that work well in your area

    John Denver's Thank God I'm A Country Boy usually gets the locals fired up, once they are half (or fully) in the bag. It's a very rural area (outside of the one decent sized city in the State) so most everyone can relate to 'life on the farm' in some way. This one, Cotton Eyed Joe and Callin'...

    What's the best small footprint, powered sub?

    I know that all decent powered speakers now come with a bypass/roll off/crossover setting. I was just wondering if anyone is running tops in full range when combining with these smaller subs, to keep the sound a bit more beefy. If so, is that detrimental to the system in any way? Thanks.
