I think you fid a great job.. youre always your toughest critic! How do you like those mics? Do you have lapels to use for ceremonies? Do they work well if so. I'm thinking about going with a Phenix pro set

@@Brian_P hey thanks for watching and the nice comment! I appreciate it!! I’ve loved the mics so far and actually made a couple videos reviewing them in depth! In general, if you’re looking for a budget mic with solid lapel, these are the choice. I have my GTD Audio 733 mics which have great handhelds, but the lapel option on those aren’t great quality so I bought these. Here’s a link to the video where I review them with my complete thoughts!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH_NhnabpK-pqMksi=QOBeVI88GQbLW3Ic

I've done a bunch of things with batteries over the years and I actually prefer devices do not have batteries. especially when it's not really needed for its function and all the manufacturers think built-in batteries need to be glued in and the whole thing glued shut and nothings repairable in any way. Things like laptops, cameras and recorders makes sense where you want carryover power. Pretty much anything else an external makes more sense as I can swap that. So I could have multiple sets of batteries when one gets low pop it off put a new one on take the other one put it on the charger. And if battery technology improves which I think it's going to very soon all one hast to do is get a different power station or for the more technically inclined swap the battery. In my case I literally bought a 12v battery, a battery box, an inverter and some Velcro. Worked out so well I want to get another battery. I have a lot of sealed lead acid batteries that are starting to die this year, and moving to lithium brings a large capacity increase. Another benefit is three weeks ago I went to pull out my battery for a concert, I use it to set up my virtual mixing console, a computer and touchscreen monitor without having to run a cord in a area which would be very awkward with no way to avoid possibly tripping folks. Unfortunately I forgot to charge it! But because the computer is a small form factor Lenovo cube and I have a Square to USB type C adapter. All I had to do was grab my older battery pack and plug the cigarette adapter into it instead and I was good to go. As my Second backup option I have one of those power banks that can run a laptop but couldn't remember which bag I put it in and couldn't find it in the car. But that's what option 3 is for, good old-fashioned sealed lead acid batteries, I have 3x8AHr batteries in parallel and I was surprisingly able to run a Desktop computer and CRT monitor for far longer than I ever thought I was going to be able to ( I feel like that needs context. I was contacted by somebody who wanted a Windows 98 computer and I wasn't able to set it up so I was literally doing that in the middle of the farmers market and then they never came ).

I don't do a lot of weddings but one thing is for sure wedding planners have a lot in common with flat earth or's they think the laws of physics don't apply. I'm sure I would've been annoyed having the speaker behind me as a guest hearing it from both sides with the delay but maybe it was small enough that it wasn't bad. as somebody for many many years loaded all my Sound equipment out of containers and stacked in cabled, for the two times I've used my equipment this year it's been really nice to have it all ready to go in a rack case. I've been to a few weddings where there was more than one person with the DJ and depending on what they're doing behind the thing it looks fine as long as they're not like front and center but even then it's still usually OK. Must be nice what's this assistant thing tell me more, how do you find them, what do they do, etc.

@@imark7777777 Thanks for watching! Haha I know when it comes to planners, unless it’s really interfering with my performance I usually play nice and give them their way. I definitely need to rack mount more stuff! When it comes to the assistant, I had the same questions as you haha and was always unsure how to get reliable help that I can trust. In my case, this was a college kid who reached out to me because he was interested in DJing and so I talked to him and brought him along. I showed him the ropes, and he helped me load unload, set up breakdown and took video during the event as well. Otherwise, I’ve heard of people bringing friends, family members etc that are interested and paying them. The hard part is finding people that can reliably come with you on weekends when you have events Other than that, I think maybe posting a job post on Facebook or Craigslist saying you’re looking for a DJ asssistant?? Haha I’ve never tried that myself.
@imark7777777 5 күн бұрын
@@MrMaui38 good advice. Not in the place to have an assistant even though I really could use one. I do more live Sound and I'm sort of fighting the market rate in the area which is low. i almost had one last year, a local nonprofit organization bought a system off of somebody and started doing Friday concerts for 3 months. The guy who sold the system was supposed to train a kid who is interested and he would be ready by the first concert… Did that come true absolutely not. Somebody was a little big headed and liked to talk a lot. First concert was my normal band acoustic Bluegrass they couldn't hear anything on stage and it wasn't until halfway through the second set we were able to hear the vocals out front. He complained that they needed to get with the times and have electric instruments and was pretty much mixing a rock band. Needless to say he was very shortly replaced with me and the kid wasn't trained all that well. Thinking I just gained an apprentice, it was great because there was a couple concerts that I wasn't gonna be able to make and then there was a falling out with him and the Director I think over wanting to get paid way too much and I ended up having to do the calendar shuffle to get the concert in. I've seen a few DJs that have gone the all white route with either white speakers or things that can go over the speakers that definitely helps. And since you were primarily using wireless mics back of the room probably worked out pretty well for that one. My thoughts would be set up all equipment in the back or side although it is definitely nice to not have to fight the meat bags to get the RF to the receivers. then with that thin speaker I think it would've fit very well covered with some white fabric upfront. I might've had a conversation of well I'm thinking this this and this and then speaker up there camouflaged, let me partially set up it and then tell me what you think as it's not that hard to move before I connect it. but sometimes you have to build that relationship and trust before you can even get that far. Looks like that's a tent? I would've went for one of the corners. Would've had a decent spread in the direction that people are looking well also not being terribly close to cause feedback. Yeah definitely in that boat as well, I am very extremely patient and will work around just about almost anything which usually gives me leeway with stuff that I can't. Oh yeah and once you get your assistant chained oops darn auto correct trained-up (yes that's the word ha ha totally) a bit and start tag teaming it it won't look as weird. Have them do a couple of announcements etc. I just spotted the video on the side bar after watching the Sound couple, sort of miss read the name but it's still looked interesting.

@@25dadek25 Thank you for watching! Unfortunately I don’t have personal experience trying a power bank or that adapter, but what I can say is that these lights do function while being charged, as I have frequently plugged them into a wall to be charged while still using the light during an event. So I would assume that the same would work if you were to charge the light using a power bank while using the light to effectively extend the battery duration, granted that you are using a power bank with enough power!

The uplights look great. The wash lights look great. The facade fit perfect with the style of the hall. It would be great to have the ceremony equipment in a rack. Speeds up setup. Left right speaker placement would be better than one for ceremonies. I would have placed the speakers behind any of the curtains near the front of the reception. Rais the moving head lights higher next time. Side fill would definitely work better with a hall that large or simply place the speakers closer to the dance floor area and away from you and get a monitor for yourself. It's not only the looks of the equipment but how it functions best. Spreading the speakers along that long wall or adding side fill speakers makes for a cleaner Ness forced sound system and fills the hall equally rather than blasting everyone I. The front row to compensate for people in the rear. Keep posting. Awesome work. Great content. Make every event better than the last.

Great job 1. Go outside introduce yourself and let the guest know what's about to take place. This might have reduced the content constant announcement to come in. 2. Engage with your audience a little. For example, let me hear this side of the room and let me hear the right side. Small interaction to try and build the excitement. 3. Always speak on the mic like it is a wedding. What I mean is that if you djing at surprise 50th speak as if it's a wedding. Clear and precise. This will prepare you for the more serious events. You were great. Going to middle of the dancefloor is crucial in getting good crowd attention.

First thanks for the video and input. I wasn't going to comment but your last comment about Aesthetics (or the way something appears in the setting ex. a black stick with a mic on it in between the minister and the Bride wearing her 2 thousand dollar dress and Groom. Well here is my two cents . First you much Prioritize. You want the message to be heard. Therefore the minister must be heard. I have found that a Lapel is the first option. Now there are times you do not use the lapel... Outside in a windstorm. On this occasion, the minister used a hand held on a stand. (other ministers simply hold it under their Bible) While it doesn't look the best, go back to Priority TO BE HEARD. While the Lapel is used, it's usually no problem with the minister. Now during the vows, I have to Bump the channel up to pick up the Response to the Vows. The vows are usually very soft and heart felt. ( I could mic the groom but Not the bride due to Aesthetics ex a black dot on her White dress.) Here is where I always have my "Parachute", this was the term one minister gave the extra mic at the Altar. If there is unforeseen interference (ex. you set up early and no issues but later the videographer added a wireless transmitter without your knowledge and BAM) Simply hand the handheld parachute and everyone can hear. If the couple has their own prepared vows, the handheld is s MUST, Everyone wants/ Needs to hear these vows as they are Personal. The stories told, the jokes etc. I felt bad at having a black mic in the hands of a beautiful bride but I watched the Wedding of Luke Combs (Country Music Artist) and with all his money, there he was talking and singing to his bride at the altar with a handheld mic. Priority Being Heard. To Summarize: 1: Priority to be HEARD clearly 2: Lapel if possible, If Wind is an issue, consider a hand held with the minister. 3: If Personal Vows , Handheld is a very good option to be HEARD almost a must. It is a question a DJ must ask before doing the wedding so that they are prepared. 4: that Extra handheld "Parachute" is a Staple at my weddings and has saved me more than once. Again sorry to Ramble but it was the least I could do after you took the time for the video. I was curious as to the sound quality of the lapel. Michael aka DJ Older than Dirt haha

@@michaelha7 thank you for the response and well summarized thoughts!! I agree 100% and that is why I am a big fan of this system where I can have both reliable lapel and handheld mic options in one. Regardless of whether a DJ decides to use a mic on a stick or a lapel for the officiant, I agree that having that second handheld available for the couples vows are a must! Everyone should be able to hear those special vows. I’ve heard of DJs putting a lapel on the groom and officiant and turning up the gain for the vows hoping to capture the bride, but I can’t imagine this allows the bride to be heard well. Again thanks for the comment and sharing your thoughts!! Keep rockin 👊🏽👊🏽

The booth situation, yeah i agree i think you should look into a podium "T" stand thing. It'll set it off and look really nice and crisp!

Hahaha G for sure you know all about sangeets and how they go 😂 and you bet they reached out to me to make every one of the 6 mixes they had for the performances as well lol I appreciate the compliments on the mixing bro! Also I agree about the house lights - hopefully one day I can have a light show like yours and can completely turn off the house lights and just have my light show provide enough for the entire venue! Thank you so much for watching my small event gig logs and your comments bro it means a lot 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Your gig logs are getting better bro!! Keep up the good work! Thanks for the shout out and also linking my video about my 2Legit T-Style table. I do agree with you. If you replace your current table and scrim with something more sleek looking, that will make that facade behind you "pop" more. The black scrim doesn't really do that setup justice, imo. Love your Lavish booth! Wish you lived closer so you could put it on my T-Stand and see how that would look. I think it would look killer lol, but I know it's actually a lot of work that went into my table as you already know. Anyway, enjoyed your gig log brother!!

Yoo thanks 2L!! Of course you know I had to shout you out and that clean white setup 🔥🔥🔥 dude that would be amazing if I could test it out haha Im thinking to buy it but the only reason im hesitating is because my booth has these metal brackets underneath and I need to measure to make sure they won’t get in the way of where your stand would contact on the bottom. I’ll measure and see! I’m also thinking to try the Rockville totem and give it that podium look.. the nice thing is that there are options but one thing is certain I need to find something other than that black scrim for these wedding events!! Thanks for watching 🫡🫡

@MrMaui38 Yeah several people use those Rockville totems as stands. I was even using them first before I saw Lavish DJ Peck's mystery table, remember? Lol ... I actually love the look of the totems as stands. I just HATE setting them up and breaking them down hahahaha!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@DJ2Legit007 they look legit!!! I knoww that’s everyone’s complaint and why I’m thinking to wait until I can upgrade to an SUV, so I can bring the totems pre-assembled like you did in your last gig log!! Either way there’ll be a change coming eventually lol. And I’m gonna keep looking at your setup for inspiration on that whole white setup!! Every time you mention how you’re getting bookings just when people see the setup, I’m just more and more convinced!

I usually introduce the "bridal party" . Here are your groomsmen and bridesmaids sounds clunky. Keep it up. Everything looks really professional and good that you are looking to learn. So many djs think they know it all and that's sad. I've been at for over 20 years and I'm still learning.

Hi Shay! From an MC perspective, I stay away from the typical wedding cliches such as "ladies and gentlemen" or even "friends and family." Also stay away from "newlyweds" and "put your hands together" it sounds too formal and mechanical. I'll give you an example: "Good evening and welcome to Anecia and Blakes WEDDING RECEPTION (you build up your volume along the way) this also commands an applause without saying "put your hands together or let's give it up for..." so you can say less on the mic and everyone will still give an applause. When it comes to the wedding party for this video: "And now it's my pleasure to welcome the wedding party starting with the bridesmaids....(then they settle)...and now the groomsmen. Just a sample of a way you could change it up and maybe practice that and see how it works. Also, speak slower to the point to where if it sounds too slow, then you're doing it right. There's a lot of reverb in big spaces plus people are talking so it gives the guests time to catch up with what you're saying. So much more input I could give to help you but I'll just comment to this video in particular.

Brent, thank you so much for this amazing advice!! The main reason I uploaded gig logs (my first one was the one before this) was to get feedback and pointers about MCing and this tips are incredible!! I’ve known that I needed to get away from the cliches and “crutch” phrases I was overusing, but I never knew what to replace it with. These examples you took the time to write out for me are so incredibly helpful!! Reading your comment and thinking about professional MCs like at sporting events or TV shows, I realized how they never say make some noise etc, and just let their tone and timing do the work!! I am going to start incorporating this in my next event where I have MC duties, and the goal will be each time to use a cliche phrase less and less. Again thank you so much for this incredibly helpful comment!! I appreciate you!

Bro, you are getting better on the mic! I love the growth. You are much more confident. My only thought about your setup are the moving heads. I wouldn’t use them at all if you can’t stabilize them high enough for dancing. Great video!
@MrMaui38 2 ай бұрын
Yoo Jason!! Thanks for watching and the comment. That's great to hear that you are noticing the growth from this gig log to the last. The goal is to get a little better each time! Next goal is to stop relying as much on "crutch" phrases like Alright, and ladies and gentlemen lol And I 100% agree on the moving heads lol I wasn't going to use them at all because the facade was blocking them. I wanted to show my new assistant how I put them up and then just decided to keep them going since we had done the work setting em up anyways. But definitely, thats an example of just because you have something, doesn't mean you have to use it every event! Thanks for the comment, and looking forward to your next video!

if you EVER get hired for a 90s style party but don't wanna get actual records, I would recommend a Numark CDMIX2. it is insanely easy to use and you can even have stutter options fpr CDs. sorry if im being a bit nerdy here 😁

As a fellow DJ, i think you need to work on some of your wording in announcements. I have to check myself often because like you, I also say “ladies and gentlemen” often lol. I heard you sat “make some noise” too more than once.

Hey Pedro thanks so much for watching and your comment! MCing is definitely something I am working on! One big part of why I started uploading logs was to get pointers just like this, and you’re not the first one to mention that I do this haha! I definitely notice that I do it too and it’s just a crutch for me so I don’t say something dumb LOL DO you have any other go to phrases that you use it mix it up from those standard ones that I overuse? I’d love to hear and add them to my own arsenal of MCing. Thanks!
