Whoooaa boys ........ I've got to tell you this, has a touched a nerve with me (and perhaps other newbies too?). http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/censored.gif And now for the Soapbox. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/1106.gif Firstly, back to McCardle's post. No I haven't been out with a DJ yet, but I have just bought my equipment and wanted to get going straight away. I am in the process of arranging to go out with an experienced DJ from this very forum - later this month or early Feb. What am I supposed to do in the meantime - leave the kit in the box? I thought it

Welcome Simon and good luck from one newbie to another.

Agreed - the original.

Thanks Chris ........ just as I thought - I need more cables!!!! I don't have the mixer to amp, or speaker to amp cables. Any chance you can supply me with these pretty quickly? ........ I'll send you a PM.

Hey thanks SBD - you talk my language! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/thumbup.gif What about the sockets on the back of the amp and speakers? The amp has four jack plug sockets - 2 on each side - and 2 speakons ... so what goes where? Whereas the speakers have two of each - I am guessing this is just down to personal preference, but is there any advantage using one or the other? http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/533.gif

Hi Paul and welcome. Really enjoyed reading your first post. Keep us informed of forthcoming gigs and how they go. I haven't done any yet so even though you are a 'newbie', you are still qualified to pass on some good advice to others on the forum. Lee.

Hey Ben, welcome. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/042.gif From my perspective (newbie), it sounds like you've got some experience to bring to the forum yourself - I look forward to hearing how things go for you as and when you start "doing things properly". Good luck mate. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/beer.gif

Last night I began to set up all the kit I have purchased over the last couple of weeks but this is my first time and the instruction manuals are not that user friendly for a beginner! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/014.gif Firstly, here is the kit I have bought: Soundlab Dual CD player Soundlab DJ-10 Mixer SP500 Amp Skytec 250W speakers I have connected: the two parts of the dual CD player using the DIN sockets. the 'line out' of the CD player to 'line' of the mixer (x 2). the amp to the speakers using jack plugs. ..... and obviously all the mains leads! That's as f

Hey Dan, welcome. Having done a bit as a call centre supervisor myself, you are well out of it mate http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/wallbash.gif Sounds like you are off and running already - good luck!

Sorry C.S, and all the younger members of this forum. My comment about Hercules was in response to the post about getting 'petrol money'. Hercules was the name of the horse in an old British comedy called Steptoe and Son ....... you really had to be there to see it!

Thanks for the welcome's. OK two quid a go it is then, and a couple of lumps of sugar for old Hercules so that he will pull the cart back home again! Kazaa, I'm not a million miles away from you - south Oxfordshire, so watching you in action is a possible, that would be great. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/notworthy.gif Perhaps you could send me a PM with some details of forthcoming events? The school offer is a good idea as my oldest daughter is 6 and she and her friends all seem to want disco's for their birthday parties.

Hi, no fancy handle for me, I'm just plain old Lee. Until now, I've always been on the other side of the decks but I'm gonna give it a go myself. So with no experience, I don't feel like I've got anything interesting to tell you guys and gals, but hey, this is my fifteen minutes ........ I've got young kids of my own so over the next year-ish I'm going to get some experience and build up my kit doing kids parties (for free if I have to!) and spending quality time with you lot. Chris has already given me help in choosing and supplying some equipment - thanks mate. Also, having 'lurked

Hey Alan, I'd be ineterested in hearing how your daughter is getting on as I have just joined the forum and am taking the same path (ie kids parties) for the first year or so to build up experience and kit.
