I have given up Amature. I use Spotify premium from my extensive playlists on their site also my own downloaded playlists from ages back. Most places have wi fi. Not the best sound quality on a tablet but hey, give em a hour and their drunk and your deaf.

Thanks Kodiak will look up.

Love watching people use Spotify at parties, about five minutes between songs while they wait for downloads.lo.

Was a disaster, speakers on hire were big as bar fridges dj city formerly in Richmond are now in South Melbourne, a days drive from Eaglemont with todays city traffic. Had 300 songs on my playlist, lucky to play 30 before the pub had a no music after 10,30 pm rule.

Hi Mitch My headphones are TDK I have to use the earphone out on my pc as I am using Virtual DJ. I use the headphone out on my small mixer for the powered sub so I can raise the level without leaving my spot. At full volume the headphones are ok in a quiet room but can't be heard in a noisy venue with loud house speakers I have ordered a in line headphone amplifier, hope it works. I don't want to spend any more money and buy another licence from Virtual and use my big mixer as I only do about 3-4 gigs a year up here. The cougars up here dancing in front of me make me seasick so thinking of giving it away.

Trying to cue via my cans over the house speakers but can't hardly hear them even though they are at full volume. Any suggestions?

Thanks Labrat feeling better already.

Wondering what to play at a 30yo birthday party. They have left it up to me and I haven't seen these people to over 10 years. I listen to radio Metro up here on the Gold Coast and have been downloading dance tracks that I think they will like. Dont want an empty dance floor. These people were big Melbourne clubbers years ago. Am I on course.? I have six weeks to go before the big night. .

I go mostly to bars here at Broadbeach and am disappointed that the young patrons are listening and dancing to 70s 80s music. They shitcan me when I play it but its ok if they are in a new venue and its played.

For ease of portability I carry and use my wireless mic receivers in a bag. I have two and have ordered another one that will make up a stack of three. Stick to manufacturer recommendations of 1m from wall and floor. Anyone had issues setting them up like this?

Good to buy top end gear but then I would stress about it being damaged or stolen. I get most of my materials from skips on building sites and if it gets smashed or I forget it behind, I'm only up for a new can of black matt paint and another scrounge

Been going to a few gigs in Broadbeach and always look at what the sound guys are using nowadays Decided like me, all you need is a sheet of 5ply a jig saw and a few cans of matt black paint. Ingenious hinged bits and pieces to support their equipment that flat packs for storage and transport. Always come away with new ideas.

Bought a 300mm mirror ball for about 100.00 weighed about 5 kilos. Would be a problem to hang and stress my rotor so took it back My opinion mirror balls are dull compared to laser lights, see them around but next to useless in large venues.

Hey Cupe can you bury me with a reply please. Gave the committee a example of a forum we are proposing and sent them a link to ADJF as an example Realised I was shit canning them here re christmas party and if they see it they will not be amused. They know my forum name.

Out of their pension pay scale Cupe.12.00 meal deal and back home an in bed by 9pm I give up.

Bit of a dilemma up here on the gold coast. I set up a old farts group called Blokes Lounge in 2014 with a few old blokes who have nothing to do all day and now we have 70 plus members. I started DJing at our parties and now that we have outgrown houses to have christmas parties at, The committee that I am no longer a member of, have had a christmas party at a restaurant that was not well received. The blokes seem to like eating at cheap eats out shit creek like Mudgeeraba but the wives like my music and like to dance. How can I tell these fuckers that house parties with me djing are the way to go and forget the sideways meal deals at Red Dragon Palace without me sounding like I'm big noting myself.

Went to Blues at Broadbeach, always stand next to the sound man and look at what stuff he has. Seems they are like me, get some 5 ply and make up some foldable tables and stands, rough as,and paint it black. Buy some sparkle paint from the two dollar shop and you are in showbiz.

Virtual DJ once let you use a external mixer for a trial period and then charge you 120.00 for permissions. Paid them using ebay and they did not deliver. got refunded.My UCR 222 sound card does the trick with an external mixer.

Just received eight jacks from ebay and I'm concerned by their weight. My mixer stands right of my laptop stand on a speaker tripod and I have it almost balanced with a mic clip and stubby and holder on the left hand side. the above adapters look good as they are gold plated but are about 250g in weight and now I have a right hand list on my rig that pisses me off big time. I place a wedge under one leg but then have a skewed pole and a level laptop. Being an ex chippie everything has to be plumb and level or I am disoriented.

The rooms look too bright for recording, where is the damping? plasterboard and windows create too many reflections. I have worked in movie studios and made a few recording studios for mates with lots of acoustic insulation and hessian clad walls. some timber cladding also, like the Sydney Opera House.What is a domestic AC doing in a recording studio.

Tried that often, by the time you buy the wood, speakers, crossover, padding,carpet, corner protectors, lifting brackets, reflex tube, stand socket, speakon/jack sockets, it costs about twice a much as buying one on ebay.

Always pissed of how the DJ takes over the room, so I have made a platform for my PC and mixer that takes up less than 700mm square. So it's me and my stand on a tripod speaker stand and two speakers either side, one on a Sub. so I'm using 3m sq of floor space. My amp is under the stand and covered with black cloth to hide the wires. photographes requests. and a easy quick exit if I have had a few and make comments about the brides visible mustache.

So I gets a behringer sound card on ebay and they recommend I download software called Audacity. Its all set up and I start recording. I buy all the connectors to produce separate channel inputs and outputs and check em all out, works fine. left and right. Screen shows I am recording in Stereo. Waveforms on the screen seem the same and after playback on a amp and checking balance left and right seems I am recording in dual mono. Forums don't identify a problem like this so I'm asking is there another free software package someone would recommend that records in stereo as I would like 6 inputs for recording instead of four on my XENY 802 mixer. Yep I know buy shit but, I only do this as a hobby and work for cake.lo.

Thanks LabRat going to send some current through em and see what comes out the other end with my multimeter.

Love trance Verimon, Choof and trance, a marriage made in heaven.
