Bolan-Boogie 0 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Black cloth. Cheap and effective. And what's wrong with light screens - they're classic disco! I use both ( Not at the same time) Light boxes seemed to die out at one stage, BUT i have had LOADS of requests from customers not wanting one of those ' Twinkly Cloths ' but a proper lightbox front. (these are customers words not mine) Personally i prefer light boxes and there seems to be a bit of a revival at the moment, Some of the starcloths i have seen look absolute Cr&p ! :hurt: Link to post Share on other sites
Wayno 0 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hi guys! I normally use a white sheet as the UV picks it out quite well or on occasions a Black sheet my two light boxes which incidently where the first thing i brought all those years ago come out for maybe two gigs a year, i just cant bring myself to get rid! Im currently in the market for Starcloth and i found a DJ booth for around £500.00, looks nice yes but a bit pricy, HTFR have just started doing a budget one DJ BOOTH not a bad price and from pic looks like it will do the job. Or for just starcloth STARCLOTH I dont own any of these items but if your on a budget im sure you cant go far wrong. Sometimes in the pursuit of perfection one can get blinded by size. If you believe you can acheive. Add life to your days not days to your life. [/url][/img] Link to post Share on other sites

Corabar Steve 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I thought that was an immensely high speaker stack on the right, until I realised it was a doorway :aa :ads: Steve...

Norfolk DJ 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Prefer modern screens, upgraded mine last year. I agree with Marky Mark on this one. Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Audio Man 21 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Black cloth at present... look into starcloth later on in year! Link to post Share on other sites
buskersball 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Going under the name Sgt Pepper I've had a 4 x 3 perspex screen made with the album cover on. I light it up from behind and it looks like a stained glass window. Attracts loads of attention, even when I'm just carrying it in! Link to post Share on other sites
exbutlinred82 0 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hey!!!!! Must just be me.My business started taking off when I stopped hiding behind a desk or lights.I have my gear stacked up to the right of me and I lean over as a cabaret artist would and plonk the trax on from there.The audience can see me full length and altough I am on a stage I effectively become one of them.I have had people say it makes me really different and attribute some of my success to it. I too am in the market for a Starcloth but as a huge stage filling background. It may be time for change for some of you crotchety old DJSs. Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Westcott 0 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 I like hiding behind my 'wall', thankyou. I respect your open-fronted approach, and there is at least one other very experienced member here who does the same; However, I feel there are events and venues where this just wouldn't look right, whatever 'right' may be... smile icon Link to post Share on other sites

Norfolk DJ 0 Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I like the screen james, very good. I see you have a good old soundlab Valera, powerfull light. Since I upgraded mine last year, I,ve had a lot of other DJ's enquire about my screens, who don't usually bother. Link to post Share on other sites
jamesmurphy 0 Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 My front screen I painted myself. It used to be black with just my name and number on it but it was just looking too plain, so I decided to paint it up a few weeks ago when I had no discos on. Link to post Share on other sites

NRG Roadshow 0 Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I use the same "Wayne Specials" as you can see from my avatar. I like them a lot, with the spot boxes either side they give a nice frontage in my oppinion. Gigged them a few times now, and have had some good comments about them? Does anyone want me to post a video of them working, I still have a short clip on my laptop? Nick Link to post Share on other sites
SnakeyEyes 0 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I use a black cloth supported by fishing wire tied between the lighting rig's stantions. I have added small stars (130) onto the front of the sheet. I use a white sheet with stars for weddings and christinings. :dan+ju: Quality mobile Djing and Karaoke for the North East of England Link to post Share on other sites

Dream Catchers 0 Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I know its digging up an old post. I use screens at the moment but have been making a starcloth, it has 240 blue LEDs and I've built an 8 channel light unit to supply it. I'll post picture of it (or the fire) when itrs finished.
