This is the best explanation I’ve ever seen. I feel like other people just don’t know how to explain or I just don’t understand them

[starlitekaraoke]

My favorite part of the wedding is also cocktail hour. I pretty much have a similar setup. I like the cocktail hour cause it gives you a chance to mingle with you guests. I will always have a playlist of EVERYTHING, meeting with the couple a minimum of 3x beforehand... Yet, we all know there are songs that guests may request. So when mingling, you can get a feel for what your guests like.

Having 3000 plus shows under my belt, I have a good read on my crowd but never judge a book... so again mingling during the cocktail hour has helped a lot.

Great videos. I never thought of keeping vlogs of my work. Maybe something I need to think about.

As I go into my 20th year in business I guess there isn’t much left...lol

Keep up the great work!!

Excellent video. Weddings are work, but it sets the tone for a great night. I appreciate your thoroughness and professional set up!

[djbwren]

Great explanation Barr, these are the details new DJ's and guests just don't think about. I'd honestly have to say the clarity of your voice sounds better on your wireless. The wired mic sounds muffled a bit. I notice that at my own gigs and I have to basically crank my wired mic where the wireless you have multiple controls (usually) for the volume. I know you use your DJM-800 mixer at your gigs but I primarily take my controller out to gigs. Having my 8 channel mixer is a huge help, especially with mic's. Theres only one mic jack on the controller and it's not exactly top quality to begin with, so I run my controller and mic's all through the 8 channel. I'll use my laptop and the mixer to play the 4 songs (we play one for the signing of the registry), with the mic(s) hooked up (if they want them), and one speaker behind the crowd. I put it behind because I want to keep a clean photo for the guests taking pictures, and not have a speaker in the shot.

Anyway great vid, keep up the good work!

Like Hosa but Love LiveWire cables. Lifetime warranty. As a pro this is key. Also I use a white mic stand on ceremonies. Cable breaks? Guitar Center will exchange on site with LiveWire. We always set in the back to stay out of the pictures and any view on ceremony. Lav mic is also important! Lastly, always ask if there are readers on ceremony - you may need more than one mic and stand.

Dude, this tip video is sick! I got an wedding gig, an hat trick.

[Zickcermacity]

Do you have a video about sitting down with the future couple weeks ahead, curating a playlist for each phase of the wedding day or other special function?

[rudy]

I got a tip for PYRO....it’s a free app they have....it’s a great tool to use when you don’t have to “mix” because it mixes for you...I’ve used it before and it does a great job...it blends and it does echo outs...I’ve also used it as an emergency back up in case my gear decides to crap on me when I am live...it will continue to play music and do some basic been watching for awhile and notice you have a PIONEER DJM 850....why don’t you use the usb from the mixer and ditch the rane box and then run your CDJ’s on HID mode?? Let me know what you think....love the vids...I feel a lot of people bite your steeze on you vids...just means you are killing it and they wanna be like you...good job bro

[TJDaDJTV]

Dope vid, Barr! Good look on providing the link to that road case for the mixer. I was about to ask about that. Off topic but how do you feel about Roman Reigns winning the Elimination Chamber? I hateed it, personally.

[FernandoTSacher]

Barr you made an little mistake ! Phantom Power is only used in Condenser Mics (normally the ones used in Recording Studios) ! mics Like the Shure SM 58 And Beta 58 doesn't need Phantom Power !

[Bennison_uk]

Love your style brother. Thanks for all the expert knowledge. peace.

[DJLegit]

Excellent video! One of your best ones to date, imo.

[badtothedrone]

Excellent video with great explanations.

[djdiezl]

Great tutorial, although been already doing many of similar practices, definitely always learn something new. One thing I do for Ceremony & Cocktail set ups, my Ceremony/Cocktail speaker has velcro and so does my mic receiver & iPad/Tab, so it can just stick straight on a speaker for a lighter set ups and to secure the gear, specially during the cocktail hour when using the iPad/Tab and not around to see if someone knocks it off, plus it looks a bit neater imo. Cheers

[DJWincho]

Great video man. Say Hi to my bro DJ Red El Colorao from Connecticut... you rock bro.

[lfdjrock]

Hey Barr what r u using on ur speaker stand to hold up ur stand skrim?

[musiconedjweddingsandmore]

Great video as always, for ceremony I do use a battery speaker with a battery pack for the mic receiver the handheld already has battery and for the music I do use and iPad connected via Bluetooth less hassle and quick setup, keep the good work

[landon]

[alrose]
