I've been using ShowXpress for my lighting, since I got started, a little over a year ago and while it works, I just find it a pain and sort of cumbersome to use. I looked at MyDMX go last summer, but due to some iffy reviews I kept seeing, I decided not to try it. I've been looking at other...

I hope I don't get beat up too bad for this question... I know this kind of stuff gets brought up a lot on different forums and Facebook groups, but I think my question "MIGHT" be a tad different. I'm curious how those of you who do a lot of "younger crowd" events (@djtaso ) stay on top of...

So I can't seem to be able to find a solution I like to a question that others surely have had come up before. I am currently using an ADJ Pro Event Table II with the ADJ light trussing (as seen below but mine is all black). I would to have another solution as well. This is fine for some...

Most of you know (I say it all the time), I'm still very new to this industry. Just started on my own last July (2022). Summer was full swing and people hit me up for all sorts of summertime pop-up events and I got a few weddings thrown in there to for friends of friends. Since November...

Thinking about purchasing an enclosed trailer specifically for my DJ business. Currently, all of my equipment sits in an attached garage. I live in Pennsylvania. In the winter, my garage may reach temps around 40-45F. I'm very careful and always allow my gear to acclimate or "warm up" before...

I had good birthday party gig over the weekend and had an amazing time. I've started keeping a small tablet and pen beside me when I DJ so that I can jot down anything I have issues with, things to remember (good or bad), or stuff that pops up in my head throughout the event. Two things from...

I just wanted to toss this out there, as I am a very new DJ and still learning a lot of things. I like to share the silly things I stumble on so maybe someone else will see it and be one step ahead. I'm sure 98% or more of you already know this... I didn't until recently and yes, I feel like a...

I'm still recovering from the weekend, but it was fun and I learned a thing or two. These times include some travel time as well. Friday: 6pm-11pm - Amusement park chaperone for our church youth group 11:30pm-7am - "lock in" at our Church with the youth group. I was asked to DJ for several...

Maybe some of you were already aware of this, but I was not. I ran across it the other evening. I think I'm going to download the beta and try it out. I hope this is a feature they roll out with the Serato Pro package in the near future. It lets you make acapella, instrumental, and other...

So I've been working on my emcee'ing a little and I'm sort of having an issue, and could use some advice. Here's the issue: I'm making an announcement (or let's say announcing the entrances at the reception). They want one song for bridesmaids and one for the bride and groom. (fortunately...

Just wondering if anyone here has seen or used one of these yet? My ceremony rig is all battery powered, but I've found it sounds a lot better with a small mixer so I can have better gain control on my mics. I basically just need something to power the mixer. I looked the Jackery boxes, and...

It finally happened! Just 1 year and 1 day after my equipment arrived and I decided I wanted to try dj'ing, I did my first solo wedding. (I've done several others while working for the company that helped me get my feet wet, but those were mainly just helping set up, tear down, and maybe...

So I have my first wedding in a couple of weeks. I've been DJ'ing on my own since July and have several events and parties, but this is my first wedding since breaking out of the DJ company I was previously with. I just have a question about my lights. I'm currently using 2 wash fx hex's...

Question for any of the Admins... or if anyone else knows.... is is possible and/or permissible to change our screen name on the forum?

This is a new one for me... I'm hoping some of you may have experience with this. I was asked if I could provide sound for a Veteran's Day parade in my little town. It's a great opportunity for me to get in good with a local organization that will potentially provide more gigs for me down the...

So when I started my DJ journey, I bought a set of Wash FX Hex lights. At the time, I thought black would be best as they would be mounted on my ADJ I-beam over my ADJ pro event table (which is all black). Great. Now I'm trying to "enhance" my wedding setup a little. I'm considering...

Just a simple question... I went with the Rockville Rockwedges and looking for the best way to transport them. There is no real good case that Rockville sells. They have the 6 light hard-rolling case, and then just bags with soft dividers. I was thinking about buying a hard-shell rolling case...

Most of you know, I'm still very new to the DJ business side of things. I've been on my own since July of this year (2022) and I'm doing alright (by my standards) so far. From July - October, I have 10 gigs booked. 2 weddings, and rest Private/Social events. These have all been booked via...

I've done a few events outdoors this summer and have found an issue that I wanted to get some opinions on. Uneven ground... If I run my tops over my subs, no issues. I've gotten some blocks to level my subs, so the tops are therefore level as well. If I just run speakers on poles, I have...

So I bought a pair of Rockville Rockwedges and have been trying them out. I've been testing them with the 2.4ghz from light to light (master/slave) and I've also tested them with a donner 2.4ghz transmitter wirelessly as well. I've been pretty pleased for the most part, for the price. One...

So this question is for the fellow smaller, mobile DJ's out there. How many uplights do you keep in your stock? I've just started purchasing mine, and am wondering what is a "good number"? I know there is no magic number, unless you know ahead of time every venue you will ever play. It's...

Just thought I'd share this... just in case. I got a few pieces of equipment in my early purchases starting out as a DJ last year and have found that I was misguided, or bought something on impulse, but it turned out they were things I didn't really need. I posted them on FB marketplace and a...

When I was first getting started with my setup, nearly a year ago, someone told me I had to use ShowXpress. "Don't look any further, it's the best, just use it.". Well, That's what I've been trying to do. I use it on a secondary laptop. It's sole purpose is to run ShowXpress (it does have my...

I know some of you are running Rockville wedges and myDMX Go. Question.... is anyone using the Chauvet DFi dongle out of your DMXgo and sending a signal to your wedges, or are yo just using the Rockville transmitter? I just ask because I already have the Chauvet DFi dongles and have read all...

I searched the site, but only found stuff from 2006/2007. Just wondering if anyone is still using DJ Finder for planning/tracking your events? I was looking for something to get me started and this seems to fit the bill, but if there is something better or easier for a newbie without a big...
