How did you run the antenna wires?
My son has taken my booth and worked out all the kinks, we have both on site printing and 5G connectivity and it’s been great for his confidence being a 16 year old I own a DNP myself. As for the issues, been at this since 2008 and I can tell you, these will always pop up. It’s how you deal with them that really counts.
All 100% on point. I’ve watched a few videos and I’m so impressed at how you carry yourself and I live by the saying that a success for a DJ is a success for the industry and bring likeable, relatable and approachable are so important in our industry.
I'm currently trying to decide between this or the Numark mixstream pro go, and cant decide which one I should go with
Denon shouldve made a Prime 2+. That SC line is shite. For the price Id rather have the Numark MIXSTREAM PRO
Thar wasn't a case build. You bought the case. You set it up.
Hi Tony. I'm looking at buying a used unit. Here in the UK it seems like not many were sold and not many are for sale used either. Was this replaced by the sc live2? It works with Beatport link, right? It looks to be WAY BETTER QUALITY than the sc live2..... Is it?
❤❤ the content and sharing of the ups and downs.. Glad things worked itself out and you have a new subscriber Mario from 789 Quincy Street in Brooklyn 😊
Great stuff Tony
I would like to see how you are using Crate Hackers as you described.
I see that Flight sim behind you, X or MS?. .Nice and great video
Doesn’t this speaker weigh like 17lbs? There’s no hauling lol
*Promosm* 🍀
Legend
also coordinate with catering - there might be a champagne toast that needs to be poured, lately at my weddings (VA/DC) its been "drink in hand" - Great Video !
Great advice! I also tell them to practice with a PAPER TOWEL roll prior to the wedding. lol it works. Great Videos Tony !
I hear this a lot from other DJs and being outside, there's no cover. Make it part of your setup. It's your gear and reputation. Bring umbrellas, tarps, canopies to protect yourself.
Mike is the absolute best. Just had him do an MC training seminar with our team and he helped us all tremendously.
9 times out of 10 the couples should trust their DJ’s for the timeline for everything. I love how the Bride and Groom communicate to the Wedding Planner then the wedding planner says they will pas the info to the venue, Dj, & Photographer. They do but it’s usually about an hour or two before the event is going happen. Or they (WP) makes executive decisions
What’s wrong with the Best Par 50
Between all of my uplights, they're my least favorite...their brightness, and the way that they color change I HATE...they aren't very bright- and with mine at least...when I DMX them, and try to do color jumps or strobes- they ALWAYS FADE! It drives me crazy! I have checked the settings, went over the manual front to back multiple times, and even at one point go Rockville support involved in trying to help me correct it...they couldn't even help...and I do a lot of color jumps, and some weddings will do fast changes or lite strobes...with the best par 50's i can't...because they fade instead of jump.
Looks GREAT I would recommend having the moving lights on the Versa actually do a little more than just the "open white ballyhoo look" LOL
WHAT DEVICE ARE YOU USING to send the signal from the iPad to the printer?
Efficiency!! Nice build
Nice interview Tony. I’m one of Elite’s headlining DJs. Mike is a stand up guy, and a great person to work for.
That is amazing! Thank you so much for commenting! I think everybody in the industry should strive to be like Mike! lol It was awesome to hear his perspective, and to learn from him!
Few that was a close one! Made me paranoid to where I'm thinking of bringing back up speakers, and then back for the back ups 😂 (joking but at least one set of back ups for sure)
Love it when they have those sheer drapes and you can highlite with uplighting. Thanks for sharing.
Yes! The drapes always look so GORGEOUS with uplighting! Whenever a couple has drapes, we'll always use our uplights to make them POP!
Great video Tony!
Glad to see your back with the videos. Enjoy and appreciate it as I am always looking for ways to learn and improve. I've been attaching an umbrella for the last few years. Depending on your speaker, mine has handles that i attach squeeze clamps to hold the umbrella. Thanks for sharing. 🥰
I was thinking of doing the same but wasn't sure if it would look good or not 😂
Yes, I have done that in the past with an umbrella that clipped onto the tripod- I wasn't a fan of how it looked...but since this experience i don't care how it looks! If it keeps the gear safe, it keeps it safe.
Maybe come up with some sort of attachable umbrella or other shade for the outdoor speaker to protect it from sun (and rain)
That's the plan going forward! I got an umbrella, that can mount to my tripod- I used to have one....but I wasn't a fan of the way that it looked! but anything in better than what happened here! Thankfully it all worked out..but it was stressful!
Thump Go handles 100° heat no problem
IDK if it had as much to do with the heat, as it did with the direct sun on the speaker...I got a few umbrellas i'm going to begin bringing out with me just in case....and probably will try out my Mackie Thump Go for a few events lol.
Wowwww wonder where you got the idea to get that white flight case for your DS40 😉
The DS40 is honestly my favorite printer because of the case....I have an RXHS1 and a HITI....both are too big to fit in a flight case like this....so the DS40 has become my favorite
@@tonylackie it’s a great one! Workhorse
Great video Tony!
Cool
Cool

All these jump cuts, just make a script
Great video, I'm looking between these MACKIE and the JBL PARTYBOX 110, which is for the home, I don't know which would be better
Which did you end up getting ?
What about the lag sir? Can we best match?
I use the Sennheiser system and have experienced no lag. Line of site, point to point. Get some more expensive system but it works. I had the alto stealth system and even line of sight, I kept getting interference that even 25 feet. Embarrassing and a waste of money.
I got these. But I'm worried about xlr thru won't work when the input source is Bluetooth
Do you have a Video Setting up the wireless mic with 2 Mackie Thump go ? and Maybe a tablet.
Update your console to 3.0 8 pad drop sampling lol lol 5 to 6 boot up time lol compare it to a laptop lol lol IDIOT
Great ideas and great video. I went the extra cost of using Sennheiser transmitter and receiver G3 or G4 body packs for everything. That way you don’t have the big unsightly receiver and the body packs also transmit over a great distance. Crystal clear sound of course because they’re Sennheiser . If you want, you can even get Plug-in adaptors for really long nights where you don’t trust the batteries lasting. They work so well and you can stick them on the back using Velcro, so nobody even sees them sticking out from the top or hanging from the cord.
Have you had the opportunity to use the Alto Stealth system? If so how do you feel they stack up?
Hello and hope you are doing well. First of all you are like insane. That case must weigh a ton. Were you watching a vlog from Justin ? You will soon be having back problems with that boat anchor. The P2 already weighs 16lbs so all that crap you loaded into the road case will weigh it down a lot. Plus you went and drilled all kinds of holes in it. If I used the P2 I would get a sturdy soft case to cut down on the weight, keep your road case with all that crap you loaded in it, and plant the P2 on top of it with the top secured instead of being inside. It will increase the height so working will be easier o your back. If you are thinking about time management wire it up differently so it wont take that long. I use CDJs in separate cases and a mixer in a separate case. The mixer with case weighs 10lbs. the CDs weigh 26lbs each with case. take a couple minutes to wire up. Its a lot easier than hauling around a boat anchor. Just my 2 c Good luck!
All things considered the case isn't very heavy...it's lighter then either of my speakers lol
@@tonylackie whats the weight? You can do a simple home scale thing. Get on and weigh yourself, then hold the case up while on the scale and subtract your weight
@@oldschooldjernie 38 pounds
@@tonylackie yikes that's 11lbs heavier than my rack. so wear a back brace
@@oldschooldjernie maybe some day lol. It certainly helps that I have an assistant at every event
how did you find a small enough label for the apc mini ? link ?
10nrs? You are nuts...did you hit your head during that accident
was going to buy the Thump Go but it doesnt have USB outs to power things. Very bad. Bad man. Not good. The JBL and Ev's have them. Maybe thats why the Tump's are cheaper?
not bad but i think you could have gotten away with using 3 speakers total for everything
Thank you for the tips! Where did you get the tray for your speaker stand? Which one is it?
they have pretty cheap tripods you can get for your iphone or whatever camera for $20,30. I use them and set the camera up and move it around in various spots so i get different angles, especially when i know im going to play some of the bigger bangers and more popular songs. You can also run output from the mixer to your video to capture audio directly from the computer.
