well guys, i thankyou all for your comments, i didnt expect a heated debate at my expense, but i have read everyone.lol i sort of get the jist of it all. think ill stick to the peavey amp and suck up to the lumping it in and out of venues.lol i did get the other amp off my mate, its a stage line 600 watt one, and i got it for £40 so ill have it as a back up , (you never know) i read on another thread that it is possible to run the tops off one amp and bins off another, is this right? if so how to i link the sound out of them both together? sorry but i aint into the testicle (sorry t

HI Guys i have a old 1200 watt peavey amp which i have used for years, touble is it is one hell of a heavy lump, my mate has a 600 watt amp for sale and i was thinking of getting it to replace the peavey ( purely because of weight ) i am running a pair of peavey 300 watt pro 15`s with bass boxes. what will the difference be if i came down to the smaller amp, apart from size, is there any negatives in doing so? will my speakers sound C:cense:p because of this switch. will i be able to put out enough sound to sound right in a medium sized hall 150 - 200 guests. you knowledge on

cheers guys, thought this may be the problem, will have to get my son to do it for me, im bound to turn something off i shouldnt. thanks again haydn

Hi guys need a little bit of help on this one, i have just purchased some peavey pro 15`s and peavey pro subs, when playing cd`s i get no problems what so ever. BUT....... when i go over on to laptop the sound seems to be a lot lower and when i turn it up i tend to get some feed back through the speakers, this will go if i just tweek the volume down a bit and raise it again. i have tried various things like turning volume down on laptop and up on mixing desk, i did not have this problem before when i was running 4 x 500w class d speakers. its bugging me, any help/advise would be gr

Hi Guys and gals yep im still around but just noticed on here that i aint been on here since August 2008, how bad is that? well im still DJing when asked to, but have noticed it being quieter in 2009 than 2008. i have recentley sold a load of my gear and purchased new stuff, like Peavey pro 15`s and peavey subs, Ledj starcloth, and now i have gone DMX but finding it a night mare, purchased some acme dynamo scanners off someone only to find a channel switch is broken on one of them, and the git wont answer the phone, rant over on that one.lol. i did actually think about jacking it

ive yet to be caught out. did a gig last year for norfolk celtic supporters group and they brought along a cd full of the songs they sing at matches. sorted 1 hour of music i didnt have to look for. Norfolk DJ !!!!! how you doing ???????

Mattaious which greek island are you on then??????? Haydn

I run my disco with someone else, its handy having two loading and unloading, i do the sound side and Andi does the lighting, we work well together as he does excellent disco set and dance set, i do the cheese and the mic work and the laptop if needed, we work on a 2/3rd 1/3rd payment system, and i pay for new gear and anything that goes wrong and its my van we use, since the gear is mine Andi has nowt to do with it, but he uses his cd`s as well as mine. Haydn

funny that this thread has come up this weekend, the so called laptop/hdd that fried at the weekend was left at home by mistake, went back to get it, wish i hadn`t now.......lol

Done a gig saturday night for my son`s girlfriends 14th birthday party, wasn`t a great payer as it was his girlfriend, so i went along to do it myself and not with my mate, whilst i was setting up i asked my son to set the laptop up with the external hdd, 15 mins into the gig i went to the laptop to make sure all was working ok and noticed the laptop had not picked up the hdd, so i had a look around to see what was wrong and............ my son had put the laptop power lead into the hdd, i kept my cool but was furious inside as he has set the laptop up plenty of times before, well 19v into my h

used mine last night at the most boring gig ive ever done, well im not surprised as it was a 50th wedding anniversary, but the impossibled was excellent, pointed at the floor just enough to catch the back wall as well, used it on sound activated and i was well impressed at how sensitive it was, cant wait till next week now where i know it will be a banging gig, i wouldnt want 2 of these thou, it filled the room on its own. Haydn

when you invent it ill buy one, i hate the lumping about, now off to lump it about.

being as i have only been going for nearly 3 years now, i dont think im in the position to say if if is getting easier or harder to be a DJ. i purchased all my kit off ebay off some one for £1200, was quite a good set up but dated (very 80`s lights) i have since spent £100`s or maybe £1000`s on updating the kit, recently i have purchased the impossibled , 4 x scanners, new dj stand, crossover, new mixer, front light box, sound chaser, new leads , on top of that a laptop specifcally for djing, but only run media player on it as the software i brought for it is a pain, loads of cd`s an

:bouncy: yep you guessed right,

Finally ordered mine last night and also a 6ft deck and light stand

Hi Guys and gals i must apologise for not saying goodbye at the meet on 10th FEB. i got a phone call saying my wife was allowed to come out of hospital, so i fled without haste. i was nice to meet all who i spoke to. the speaker showdown was interesting,i liked the EV`s, bose was ok but not for me, and as for the impossibled......... i am getting one very soon. brilliant light. and those square lights on the set on the right, what a waste of money. looking forward to meeting you again next time, and Kaz dont forget the strip for me...lol Haydn

I would charge about £225, seems fair to me for providing all that, would you say? I charged on average £150 a gig for 7pm till 11pm, so does this make me a "beer money DJ"? no this makes me a dj who does it as a hobby and doesn`t care if he gets gigs or not, it dont make me unprofessional,alot of my bookings are from people who have seen me perform as a dj and see what sort of dj i am. all gigs go through my books and a lot of the money is put back into the business to make people enjoy the set up, and this way people book me for future gigs. maybe i ought to put my prices

DJBZ a question for you now. i run the same mixer and plg into the line on channel 1, does the sound come out ok? i have found unless i use my crossover it sounds :cense:. also what program do you use, i tend to just use mediaplayer but also have DSS DJ 5.5, but yet to actually try this program at a gig, also i have a external soundblaster that sometimes sounds good, but then can go t*ts up. would be interesting to know, also my pfl buttons are playing up and crossfader as well, have you had ant probs with your mixer? cheers haydn

I personally think its a waste of money, i had 2 holographic signs put on my back doors of the van, 1 with disco name and number and 1 with web site name, being honest no one has ever rang and said i saw your van and thought i would give you a ring, my work mainly comes from recommendation and yellow pages, ive never seen another van in norfolk advertising disco`s either, (quote me if im wrong guys). keep your money and put it towards something on your set up. haydn

blimey 400 of us, i take it that is in the whole of east anglia? cambs, norfolk, suffolk, essex?, i didnt think there was that many, would be interesting to know how many there is within a 30 mile radius of norwich. 10th feb for the meet then, venue yet? should be there, but the wife goes into hospital that weekend for a op, should be able to get there. laters Haydn

yo bud, welcome albeit abit late, im the other side of norwich to you in Loddon, where??????????? lol
