I’m definitely an OG I was here when you first started keep up the hard work love the gig logs

[@jamieoteri]

Its nice to see videos like this for everyone coming up the ranks. It helps to see that everyone starts off not feeling confident with certain skills but if you keep at it you will get better. Thanks for sharing

[@PapaRay922]

Been watching you for a couple years now. Your desire to succeed is one of your best traits, I believe. Keep doing what you do and you will go far. I also like the way you explain your setups. It gives the rest of us more options to consider. 80% of my setup is due to something you either did or said. Thanks so much!

[@joshk_dj]

I started a few years ago and was nervous af, I was the same as you, now I got more confidence and got better, good vid Rick

[@leesmith2072]

It was great to see how you started out

[@djmixentertainment1009]

Very good video DJ Rick, thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!!! 👏👏👏

[@robsmillie3647]

Great video Rick, thanks for sharing!!

[@DJLueder]

One of the worst feelings for me is to look back and see all the novice stuff I did and realize man I could’ve done that 110% better 😂 I love the memories tho that defines who you are!

[@tonylackie]

that's awesome Rick! don't be too hard on yourself..lol i know a lot of DJs that have been at it for years that still have a lot less enthusiasm then you did back then! lol

[@heathenthatheretic5960]

Bro I can't wait till I do my very first event and I'm pretty sure I'm going to make all of these mistakes lol. Glad to know I won't be the only mess up lol

[@djodmaticca.8384]

Thanks Rick cool beginning logs, and I know it may sound weird but any chance of making an " I HATE SET UPS AND LOVE TEAR DOWNS" SHIRT ? I have I feeling there's a lot of djs out there who feel the same lol

[@DJRickWeb]

Prob not enough people would want that design

[@gellertkis1297]

It's mental to see how far you've come mate!! I've been following since 2016 and it's been mad!

[@carlosavalos4112]

Great video, just ordered some face masks from your store. Keep posting more videos, they help a lot. Do you have a video on DJ insurance? Some venues require insurance.

[@DJRickWeb]

No I dont. That's a hard video to make because its really locally based to your area

[@Itsdjsigi]

Very inspirational watching this, how long did you practice before a live performance,

[@DJRickWeb]

Hours.

[@kasonhebert18]

You should do a video of how you wire your speakers and laptop to your mixer

[@DJRickWeb]

That is found in many gig logs

[@fasttrack7654]

Hi ya, i'm about to do my 1st gig, 50th birthday party and i'm as nervous as hell now its 6 days away. is there any tips you can give me please ? thank you

[@hayden_burke]

Thanks for sharing Rick, shows how hard work takes you a long way. I'm in my 2nd year and have learned so much since that first wedding lol. I also cringe thinking back to my day one MC skills- gotta practice over and over on the mic!

[@chromemusic4401]

Dude just the fact you are willing to show where you’ve come from is a testimony to how far u you’ve come. You are helping others along the way. (Did you see how far the mic was from your mouth lol)

[@djjesse1294]

Cool... Lets check this out.. Much respect Rick, not a lot of us djs go back to show us how you began. I had a question, on the last wedding you indicated a large venue and used harbingers. How did that work out for you?? Appreciate your work & sharing. Take care Rick. Enjoyed twitch mix set ....😷😷

[@blvk1782]

Luv ur vids bro keep it going frick the virus carry on!

[@xguitarguyx77]

What's the best ways you've learned on how to setup quicker?

[@DJRickWeb]

Prewiring as much as possible

[@peternord4033]

Very good video!

[@tech_goblin1]

Very cool video, I just bought some equipment and am getting back in to the dj scene. I have 2 weddings booked for end of this year, and currently trying to find a place to setup all my stuff and do a demo. Was hesitant to try the cheap pars but I've seen some of your older videos and they actually look decent. I'm in Ohio.

[@RadINation]

Love the ADJ 3D Laser.

[@bryanmcdonnell6161]

what year were these weddings? they all look great by the way.

[@DJRickWeb]

2013 and 2015

[@chromemusic4401]

Dude !! I’ve rocked many weddings and gigs with harbinger and behringer subs and tops!! I’ve faded on the 1 lol

[@nyc_djyounglb]

Awsome!

[@djbluesilver]

I just bought a GoPro, I used to use my Phone to record, but I am a one man show, and I am an older man...lol, it was always hard for me to take video of anything while trying to set-up or mix. That might change in the future. I have been watching your video's since 2016. Always good content. I hope to see you again at Future DJ Expos in Atlantic City NJ.

[@djonce9679]

Where did you get wedding musics tho?

[@DJRickWeb]

I have a video on where I get my music

[@RoyalSingleton]

I wish I had a camera. I should have 20 years gig vlogs of me DJing, studio sessions and performing my original songs right now. Total fail :/

[@chromemusic4401]

Oh we have no power.. you can still hook us up right??

[@ScojoDak]

17:13 Thug life! Hope you're getting thru the madness ok.

[@DJRickWeb]

Weddings start back in 2 weeks here

[@elibedard5222]

Should be proud of yourself man !

[@djskye777]

My controller is my spirit animal! For a tshirt

[@cfwproductions]

As a dj with mixing, is mixing just blending songs together? Do people really notice a difference?

[@DJRickWeb]

People do notice a difference. When tempos collide or there is a break in the beat of music people will pause. If you mix them properly people will keep grooving the whole time from song to song not interrupting there dancing.

[@cfwproductions]

@@DJRickWeb Any mixing tutorials? I actually download Vitrual DJ lite tho I don't have a mixer.

[@ethanmercado1445]

Okay the new today eon 615 subs are great they have a nice price

[@DJRickWeb]

They dont make a 15 sub. They make an 18 and it's just as bad as the 518 I had

[@ethanmercado1445]

DJ Rick Web 618* maybe if you do a review of the new one. You never onow

[@NickSpinelli]

Haha crazyyyyy

[@dennisnbrown]

Are you a mixer today

[@DJRickWeb]

Yes

[@marktheturtle_21]

Everyone starts somewhere. I got my first ever solo Wedding coming up in 2 weeks. Wish me luck! I hate MCing!

[@lewiswilliams1584]

Oh ye that’s right I was fat back then

[@jakehaiar6513]

[@DJRickWeb]

I had to to avoid copyrights.
