DJ GIG LOG: Wire Management Like a Boss (Pine Orchard Yacht Club)
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 08. 2024
- I get asked frequently how I connect my DJ console to my speakers to achieve a clean and ‘almost wireless’ look. This video shows step by step how I use the “MAX CABLE PACK” from NLFX Professional (which includes a hybrid power/XLR combo signal cable) to streamline my power and audio connections.
These hybrid wires are custom-made to order and have cut my setup and tear down even more since getting the Infinity DJ console.
No tangles. 👌🏻
No gaff. 👌🏻
Not forgetting anything. 👌🏻
World-class cabling. 👌🏻
Clean and tidy look.
Good job
Great job DJ Rachel. Professional, organized and talented. Your were born to do this. Congratulations!
I appreciate this a lot! Thanks so much for your time to watch!
Dj Rachel, Makin' Great Memories on the B/Gs special day
Love to see how you working ❤️ I'm just stuck watching you)))))
Nice video editing!
Thank you! I use a program on my iPhone called InShot to do it. ☺️
Door stop idea is brilliant
You are so awesome and you're very professional. I aspire to have your talent from how you present yourself to your set up. Very pro and I wish you and your moms,hubby,dad,brother, sister, and you a wealthy and healthy future.
Wow great video nice planing ❤️❤️😘😘 I'm turned 9 yesterday. I use to play more outdoor show.. love from Sweden 🇸🇪
Love your wire management!!
Very good gig log...that dance floor was exceptional ! 💕
Your a pro 😊thanks for showing us the hard work you do
When I grow up I want to be like you. You come out swinging in every one of your vids. Great content.
I love what I do. Glad it shows. Thanks for checking out the channel! Appreciate your time!
I just started trying to do vlogs on my channel. I do mostly live sound. Your vids are soooo good.
Wow you got your set up down to a science. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing!!
It’s taken a loooooong time to streamline things, but I’m in a really place now. When you set this up week after week, you just do what needs to be done without even thinking about it. Thanks a bunch. ☺️
DJ Rachel is a Genius. You Rock Rachel.
Very nice setup !!!
Excellent! Love your gig logs and love the set up! ge
🎉 Thanks so much!!
Nice, clean setup.
Excellent, once again. I loved the bonus tips into doing your magic. Well thought out, and well done! Thank you!
Appreciate it! Every event has its own curveballs and stuff. I think it's help to share how to navigate some of those or help other DJS who may have to work here in the future. Thanks for stopping by the channel! :)
Everything looked great.
💚 great jobs. We learning and more wins
Como siempre Excelente hasta el infinito y más allá
One of my fav wedding DJs! nice set up! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 fire like always.
🤘🏻❤️
Love your channel DJ Rachel!
❤️🙏🏻
Kudos to you Dj Rachel! Great video!
❤️🙌🏻
Fantastic video! Great job! The room looks beautiful with the blue ape lights!
Thank you so much!
Love all your videos, Rachel. You are so inspirational, professional with a great sense of humer...and so generouse with all this information. I'm an older DJ - pre-senior ;-) and needed something light weight that I could move around by myself. I have two Evolve30ms and use them as my mains "almost everywhere" as most events I do are only close to ...or under 75 people. I spread them out and they sound great! Also, love and use the DJ-707m. Wish I could afford that DJ console like the one you use, maybe in the near future: I'm saving up for one. 🙂
I appreciate this a lot! Thanks for supporting the channel!
This was just what I needed to watch. I messaged you via FB but you answered my question here. Terrific vid as always - Cape Town South Africa sends love :)
Awesome! Thanks for checking this out. Always happy to answer questions. 🙂 Enjoy your week!
Nice video! I see you had your portable battery outside! Loved that bag that fits on the
RnR cart!
Just got the bag for the cart! I love it. Comes in super handy!
pizza ending awesome
🍕 🍕🍕🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Super impressed by your setup and work ethic. I bet you were tired after that wedding gig. I bought an Evolve 50M after watching your videos. I'm super happy with it. Keep up the great vlogs. Best wishes from Scotland.
I’m always tired. 😂 We work hard for our couples. 110% every time. Thank you for recognizing the effort. I appreciate your kindness and time to check this out.
Have a great weekend!
Great video :)
Thanks a buch! I appreciate you checking this out! :)
I always look forward to you gig vlogs.
❤️🤘🏻 Thank you!

@@VinnyHebert #boss You'll thank me later! :)
You Rock Rachel...I love to see girl DJs killing like you...keep it Rocking Rachel 🔥🔥👐👐👐
❤️ Thanks a bunch.
Looking sharp! How do you like those EV column arrays vs tripod & 12" speakers? Looking to maybe update my QSC KW122s.
I love them. I can’t imagine going to back to a traditional tripod and top. Wire management is a breeze. No trip hazard. You can put one of these speakers almost anywhere. They sound great. Look great.
One suggestion....get a right angle adapter for your wall plug in. Having it hang out like that is asking for trouble. This is from a clumsy former wedding jock.
I am a mess when it comes to wire management , now i don't have your awesome type of set up i run with 2 QSC k-12 and two sub woofers , so i need to come up with a plan to do something about this issue of mine , it takes me to long to connect everything and seeing how easy and fast you do it Rachel you just inspired me to get all my gear out this weekend and get it done so next time i can set up in under 30 min...that's my goal ..once again awesome video Rachel , Thank you !!
I had the same setup as you for many years. I wanted to streamline things and make it so I could leave as much stuff connected as possible. That was the motivation behind this booth. It has cut my setup time by 70%.
Even if you’re using regular tops and stands wire management can still be easy to shape with some some Velcro ties, a little patience, and rubber mats.
I’m interested to see what you come up with. Best of luck. Thanks for checking this out. ❤
@@DJRachelLynch I will show you when i am done coming up with the finished plan , just went back to a 2019 video of you setting up ( DJ Gig Log: “Wedding Crashers” edition ) and you have indeed come a long way.... so much cleaner , easier and faster set up now congratulations Rachel and once again thank you for all the awesome a motivation that you give us all ...keep ROCKING !!
We have a similar setup to yours and one of my guys came up with this, so I can't take credit: Bundle one long IEC power cable (top cabinet), one short IEC power cable (for sub), one long XLR (controller to sub) and one short XLR (sub to top). Repeat for the other side of speakers. Now when you arrive at the gig, you have two bundles of wires (the ones you will always need) and you don't have to search for anything. They are even separated into left and right. If you are close to an outlet, run them direct to the wall. If not, run them to a power strip/conditioner under your table. Under your controller, you should have your mics mounted and pre wired. Bundle your mic power wire with your controller power wire and run it off the end of the table to strip/conditioner under the table. If you fear popping breakers, run one power strip under each end of the table. Now you only have 1 or 2 wires running out the back. Wrap everything with velcro when you are packing up and use that same velcro to wrap the wires to your poles when you are setting up. It looks clean.
@@DayNNyteDJs Thanks for sharing this! :)
@@DayNNyteDJs latterly printed this out on paper and will be using it as a guide this weekend , thank you so much brother for the awesome advice . will show you guys the final result ...
Quick tip, get the bungee cords for your rock n roller card
Thanks! :)
A wireless satellite speaker. Brilliant.
Great gig log! Set up looked real nice, my only concern was the movers, not sure if they were secured to the totem. Could be messy if a tipsy guest bumped into it.
Appreciate it! Thanks for checking this out. They are secured with high tensile Velcro. 👌🏻
Wow love your energy... clean and nice.... my just 9 years old now. She's doing outdoor show... your hall video is perfect planning... i saw you you played some music... how about copyright? I'm from Sweden 🇸🇪.. ❤️🔥🔥
Copyright on CZcams just means you can’t monetize.
@@DJRachelLynch no no i mean your hall video you have some songs 10 second i think 4 o 5 songs... that's why I asked😊
LOL you got caught dancing during sound check. Awesome set up video! Gorgeous location I love how the dance floor is like a separate section from tables. When you do these vlogs and film all the people do you need to like announce that you are posting on FB so they know?
This venue is stunning! I wasn't a fan of the divided room simply because I had to use a satellite speaker to cover both rooms appropriately and have everyone get up and move to the next room for grand entrances. It made more work for me! LOL But it all worked out perfectly. This is the easiest load in I have ever had, so I also appreciated that. I really like this venue. :) As for recording, the couple is always asked if I am allowed to "vlog." If they give me permission, I do my thing. It is a public space so the guests really have no expectation to privacy, but if someone had an issue and reached out, I would just edit them out of the video. It's never been a problem.
@@DJRachelLynch Yea it looked like a bit more work on the DJ side but God bless satellite speakers LOL. Great job, as usual. 😊
You should use half wave length antennas to strengthen your signal. You may get drop outs if there a lot of people between the speaker and receiver.
I’ve seen those before and know they work well in challenging environments. I don’t know if I’m lucky, but out of probably 55 weddings I’ve used with this system I’ve NEVER had one dropout or issue. I always scan my frequencies and get the antennas as high as I can. It’s always worked great.
Thanks for the tip and stopping by the channel.
Thank you thank you thank you for this log! I just had a friend build me a tower and this video helped alot with the wire management. I also peeped out a log you did a couple years ago with the mirror ball...is it worth the purchase and what size ball did you use?
It’s a 20” ball. Easiest mirror ball solution out there IMO. 👌🏻 Check this out.

Hello Rachel!!! Great Vid as always… even though I’m still in minute 5 😂
I already know😂
Question for this video: when you say you use just one outlet plug… so laptop, controller, speakers, lights… same power source… the conditioner??
Yes. This may make it make more sense to you....

@@DJRachelLynch thanks… Like I always say you bad for my bank account… 3 items on my Amazon Cart already 🫣🫣
Hi Rachel, I always enjoy your videos, it's great content! Quick question for you... Those look like really nice door stops. Maybe you shared this, and I just didn't see it, but would you mind sharing a brand on those and/or where you purchased them? I have a few cheapy ones that don't always work so well, but those ones you have look like industrial grade level. Thanks again for the great content you provide. I've been DJ"ing now for 30+ years and always trying to learn more and get great ideas from others in the industry like yourself to improve, make things easier, provide a better show, get more business, etc.

Love your videos, Rachel!! Just after cocktail hour and the start of the reception, At what point did you strike the ceremony cocktail sound system?
I use dinner time to do that. 🙂 Packs up in 3 min. Then I store it the venue closet somewhere and grab it at the end of the night.
Great video! Hey Rachel how did you hook the satellite speaker using the Sennheiser mic box 🎤???
Watch this.

Nice video Rachel as always!!, Just u use a battery to feed the outside evolve along the ipad in the ceremony or coctel part?
Yeah. The ceremony system was powered by a Jackery 550. 👌🏻❤️
@@DJRachelLynch thank you!!
Great video! Are you daisy plugged in for the dinner area Electro-Voice 30m to your main PA System in dancefloor?
I’m doing it wirelessly with the Sennhesier EW 100G4.

Can you cotrol Apelabe lights through an iPad ?
Great set up - very clean wire management
Yes. It’s called the WAPP/Connect. It’s wireless DMX.
@@DJRachelLynch thank you so much -,i love these lights ! Creates such a nice effect.
Very beautiful setup, one question though.. how do you go around safety for the movingheads? it seems as you just put them on top, what if a drunk guest comes and knocks it over?
High Tensile Double sided Velcro.💯👌🏻
Truthfully, a drunk person falling into anything isn’t going to end well for anyone regardless. 😬 That goes for facade or totems.
Everything always looks so amazing. I applaud you!👏👏👏! Would you be able to tell me what you use for cable management ? How do you make it look so clean. Thank you.

@@DJRachelLynch thank you so much for info. Whatabout to cover the cables that come from speakers to controller. Do you use a special cover? Thank you again
@@superdad8274 this is what I use. It’s power and audio in one. If you watch this video you’ll see how they are run from the speaker to the controller.
@@DJRachelLynch thank you again. They look great. Do you use tape to keep cables down?
@@superdad8274 Not usually. I’ll use mats if anything.
Hey Rachel! Nice gig and log thank you. How come you didn't take advantage of the stage to perform from?
1. I’d rather be on the floor where the action is.
2. It’s easier for guests to make requests.
3. The stage wasn’t available.
4. I wouldn’t want to deal with lifting my equipment up there. There is no “stage ramp.”
5. I’m not Tiesto. 😂
All jokes aside I’m not a bit fan of stages. I’ll use them if I have to, but I’d rather be here the people are. Better energy. 🙂
Thanks for your comment. Have a great rest of your week and I appreciate you checking this out.
👋hi😇
Looks great! How many cans/minis/maxis did you use in total? I’m just now venturing into the Ape Labs world, hope to add more in 2023! I currently have 10 cans, 4 coins and 2 sticks xl

Great set up! Are you using a delay for your satellite speaker?
The feature is available on the 30M but not needed at this distance IMO.
Can you tell me or make a video on how you did the satellite speaker?

How long did you have to wait? Was it more then 20 mins for the chairs to be moved?
I love how you light up the room.
You are a great DJ.
Big fan of EV brand.
Thanks for sharing 👍
I went and setup my ceremoy/cocktail hour system first and came back. They still weren't moved so I asked if they could move them, and I offered to help. Only took a couple minutes to clear them out.
@@DJRachelLynch Smart move.. That was a curve ball.. like you said be flexible.
That can be stressful doing a wedding you always seem to have everything under control..Bravo..
@@maximsin66 I see everyone as a team. At the end of the day, we all have the same mission... make the couple happy. Flexibility is a big part of that. They have a job to do, as well as I. So if I can change my workflow a bit to accommodate, I am happy to do so. :) I am highly organized, which allows me to be as relaxed and calm as I can be during these high-stress events.
@@DJRachelLynch You are super organized..
It's just awesome how you transform a room with lights and gear.
You blow me away:)
And the story of how you got into DJ work by helping your brother doing one of his gigs.
I still remember that video.
The first one I watched was you packing up the EV all in one unit in white.
I was like look at that🤯
I look forward to your videos.. thank you:)
Which model jackery are you using i just picked up the 200watt so far I'm really impressed.
I have the 550. 🙂👌🏻
Ok that makes a little more sense to run the 30m. I just run my mixer and ew-d mic then the Bose S1 has its own battery.

Hey DJ Rachel I sent you a message about 2 weeks back regarding having some audio issue with my Roland DJ707M having to adjust the gain constantly when I load a new song on a deck in VDJ. I wanted to know if you were having the same issue since you also use the Roland DJ707M, but you did not respond at all. I also wanted to know how you avoid ed having this issue. Please note I am using a 2021 Macbook pro.
Thanks
Sorry about that. I must have missed it. There are a lot of comments to filter through between my various social accounts. 🙂
I use windows, but in VDJ there is a setting to level out the gain automatically so you don’t have to make adjustments every time.
Type in “gain” in the search option and you’ll see the options available to suit your preference. I use auto + remember. It’s never really an issue for me because my record pools like promo only and xmix have their stuff dialed in.
How long are those Max pack hybrid combo cables? 20ft? Are they just normal Edison power cables and XLR?
They can make them any length (mine are 25 feet) and with any type of end combination. These are 💯 custom order to spec. Best cables around.
These are XLR and IEC.
Your thumbnail game is point! Great clean set up. Minus shooting the video how long do you think it takes to set that all up?
My setup for EVERYTHING including load in, the outside stuff, sound check etc is about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Thanks for liking the thumbnail! ☺️ Canva for the win! 😂👊🏻
@@DJRachelLynch I recently went the DJ booth route and it’s been a game changer for me. So much cleaner and elegant.

Hi!
Do you get better results with the G4 than the Alto Stealth?
Yes. It’s a better wireless unit and solution. Also, a lot more expensive. 😉
Hey Rachel, what program do you use to cut and edit together your content, add songs, etc?? TIA 😊
I do everything on my phone with my finger. 😂
It’s a app called “InShot.”
I pay for royalty free music via “Audiio.”

@@DJRachelLynch So I would love to purchase a pair. How do they stand up to a crowd of like 200 people? Do you use them at most of your gigs? I appreciate the advise :)
@@michaelhernandez6613 the answer is always, it depends. 🙂
To anyone asking will these speakers cover or work for “X amount of people”, I always say…
The number of people in attendance is only one consideration when selecting a speaker.
It depends on the TYPE OF EVENT your doing.
It depends on HOW DENSELY PACKED the people are going to be.
It depends on your SOUND OBJECTIVE (how you want to fill the space).
It depends on HOW LARGE the room/dance floor is.
It depends on HOW LOUD you need to be at the farthest point in the room.
It depends on the UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS of the venue/room.
It depends on your CLIENT’S EXPECTATIONS (think student prom vs corporate picnic; do they want or need to to be crushed by sound?)
It depends on INDOOR/OUTDOOR considerations (sound moves differently with and without walls).
It depends on your knowledge of PROPER GAIN STRUCTURE and knowledge of BUILT IN FEATURES of your speakers.
It depends on what your speakers are realistically DESIGNED FOR/CAPABLE OF.
Maybe some other things I’m forgetting too.
Point is…
Always do a site walkthrough.
Always understand what is being asked of you.
Always know the performance limits of your gear.
Always bring the right tool for the job and you’ll never have a problem. 👍🏻
I use these for 90% of my events. It’s a great speaker.
@@DJRachelLynch Thanks Rachel. Rock On!
DO U ROLL SOLO? OR DO U HAVE SOMEONE TO ASSIST U ON THESE GIG'S? SEEMS LIKE A LOTTA WORK FOR ONE PERSON....
90% of the time I’m by myself. Some events depending on how complex they are I’ll have an assistant. My gear allows me to be really independent and efficient. That’s why I own what I do.
needs to be more female DJs, especially ones that hug, lift and setup lots of gear. :)
We are out here! 💪🏻
@@DJRachelLynch I like your content and you don't sound like a radio host on some teenage chart station. I was Ric Webb sometimes but find him too in your face on the mic, even when narrating his videos, he's just too loud and fast with his delivery. Perhaps is because I'm a more reserved English DJ? Two different cultures I suppose?
@@stuartpaul9211 thanks for tuning in! Appreciate you being here.
@@DJRachelLynch I appreciate the honest content.
Constructive criticism
Those moving heads you have, 👎
The “gobos” they’re putting out are weak and resemble really old basic kid party lights. Get yourself some quality moving heads, or just stick to some color wash lighting, cause those jmaz you’re using, aren’t good at all.
Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate your time to watch and comment. The JMAZ lights are a great light, actually. They have much more potential than you see here, mainly when you use DMX. Also, please note there is no haze (not allowed to use it) which also unlocks another layer of impact. Truth is, I have zero ambition to learn or deal with DMX, so I use their built-in programs that I can control with their remote control. I turn it on, select a program and let it do its thing. I can’t deal with extra gear and programming. I’m a one-woman show that takes care of EVERYTHING herself, so simple solutions are a must for me.
Since they are battery-powered, I can take them out of the box, plop them on my totem and call it a day. I can literally have two totems, and two moving heads set up in under 8 minutes. That’s why this is an excellent light for me personally. The battery-powered/wireless option lets me do creative things with them in odd-shaped rooms and venues without being tied to a power cord. To my knowledge, they are one of the only battery-powered movers in the market with about (8 hours of run time).
I’m not a production company. I’m not a lighting designer. My clients aren’t hiring me for intricate light shows. They simply want to have fun, great music and have the room look good for them to celebrate. I believe I’ve accomplished that here.
I respect and appreciate those who have fantastic DMX shows and sophisticated lighting incorporated into their setup . It’s an amazing skill set. I just don’t have the bandwidth or passion to do it.
Either way, thanks for your comment. Have a great rest of your week.
