Just saw this on FB. I'm guessing it's the "new hot thing" in cold sparks. Like some of you guys, I've been using cold spark fountains for 3 years. I run 4 units, which frame up the 1st dance. I'm always on the lookout for someone who might get over the top of the units. I'm wondering, on what...

We had our 2nd community dance last night at my venue. I'm trying to make this a monthly event, the first Sunday, 5p-8:30p. I have a couple of line dance instructors who do the first hour then we do live band for the remainder. I'm patterning this after another dance at a Methodist church that I...

Okay, yes, I'm being lazy but does anybody have a playlist(s) that they've used for a daddy-daughter dance? I have one coming up Friday night and honestly I'm kinda scratching my head on what to play. FYI, this is a freebie I'm doing for the local school. It's a rural community and they've never...

As many of you know, I have a pair of Harbinger MLS1000. It's a great speaker system (especially for the price). 4 channel mixer with Bluetooth, no mixer app. Seems to have plenty of juice for everything I've thrown at it. Was just looking at specs at it shows max db is 123 and 1000watts peak...

My but is DRAGGING (even after a 6-hour nap this evening) but it was a great weekend. The wedding we did on Saturday was off the chain great. Cold sparks killed it (again) and the crowd was full of party people. It was one of those weddings that reminds you of everything good about this...

I've been using Wix for several years. Been wanting to change over to Wordpress but always avoided the learning curve. I finally bit the bullet and am in the process of building out a Wordpress site. Instead of using the same domain name (www.RyanAcres.com) (Wix) I decided to setup a 2nd site...

I think Bob is our resident rigging expert but thought I'd run this past the group. At my venue, I'm using Harbinger 2312s. Have had them mounted by a bracket but I think I'm going to hang them from one of the ceiling 2x6s by drilling and mounting eye bolts. I just ordered a set 10 safety cables...

Just talking with a friend and the subject of working outdoor (cold) events came up. For DJ work, I've always kept a Lil Buddy propane heater in the van. It helps but even with it I've had plenty of gigs that ended up being miserable and I HATE being cold. I just ordered a heated vest from...

Not sure if any of you are into video or not but thought I'd ask. Doing this TV show the past couple of weeks, they have a 3 camera system, all remote. I'd like to start doing some FB Live feeds but would like something better than just "put an iPhone on a stand". I also don't have budget to...

he he.........been using a Bose S1 Pro for ceremonies. Great little box but it's a bit weak sometimes. Got a wild hair and ordered an EV Everse 8 today. It's a good bit louder, better bottom end and it has a control app that lets you tweak settings. It also has both 5v and 12v output, which...

This struck me as a great idea. I ordered one for my venue but don't see any reason why it wouldn't work for DJ as well. https://digifeel.io/

I feel as though I've asked this question before but, when a bride sends you a link to a spotify playlist, how do you export it? I'm looking to export the list to a Word document.

https://maestrodmx.com/ Have you guys seen this? I just saw a sample video (on FB) and was impressed and looks like virtually zero programming. They claim an "AI" interface. $750.

I just got this on my FB feed from a supplier in China. Have you guys seen them? If I were still doing mobile DJ, I'd be all over these. FYI

Got (yet another) called today. Girls starts the same old, tired lines so I finally stopped her, "Ma'am, I've advertised with both TK and WW before. How much?" She start stammering around, doesn't want to commit. Tells me, "Um, er, um, well, it can be anywhere between $500 and $2000 per month."...

Thought I'd pass this along, for anyone using karafun for K-gigs. This past weekend, I did a band gig. We use Karafun, then play/sing over the top of it. It usually works like a champ but I had bought a new laptop and THOUGHT I'd tested it out sufficiently. Throughout the night, intermittently...

Thought I'd pass this along. I just ordered one of these yesterday from Walmart.com. i5 processor, 500gig solid state drive. The only thing I don't like is only 4 gigs of RAM and it cannot be upgraded. Still, a new i5 for less than 3 bills, it looks like a good deal and I've been needing a fresh...

Well, it finally happened. I had a worker no show on me for today's wedding. New wedding coordinator, mid-thirties. I have to admit, it's my own fault. I knew she was flaky, but I've known her a long time and have used her on a number of other weddings as a makeup artist and bar-tender. She'd...

I have 3 original QSC K10s (with gig bags) that I keep in the rare occasion I work either band or a mobile DJ job. I'm thinking to put them up for $1800 for all three speakers then, turn around and buy a pair of QSC K12.2 ($2k). BTW, I have a pair of Alto TS312s that are mounted at the venue...

This one struck me funny. On what planet does a DJ think accepting a song dedication like this is appropriate? Just wow.

On my mobile gigs (DJ & band), I'm wanting to incorporate subs back into my system (been only using QSC K10s). I'm using these power+xlr cables currently: I ordered a Y-adapter and planning to run both a K10 and 15" sub (Alto TS315S) off the combo cord. I believe typical draw is less than 3...

I've had this setup for a few weeks and this weekend was the first time to use it. I worked a band job last night in Gautier (pronounced Go-Shay), Miss. Decided to use this, and a new guitar wireless unit I bought. It was a small club, an American Legion. I haven't used the bodypack yet. At...

Thought I'd pass this along. I signed up recently for their unlimited leads. It's only running $30/month and I'm actually start to get some meetings out of it. Looks legit. Zola.com

Like many of you, I've offered photobooths for a number of years and have Social Booth installed at my venue. I'm working on cleaning up my presentation (long overdue) and have built a case to hide the ugly cables. Watching Bar Rescue tonight, they setup a photo booth system and made mention...

I was watching Bar Rescue tonight and noticed (for the 100th time) where Taffer was installing Orange Door Music system into a bar. It hit me, are the club jocks being replaced with technology? Wondering if any of you guys had seen this or given any thought to it?
