DJ GIG LOG: The Ultimate Load-In Challenge: New Pond Farm in Redding, CT 🚚💍 + Everse 8

- Join me on a journey to New Pond Farm in Redding, CT, where I faced one of the most challenging load-ins ever. With the wedding tent perched atop a muddy hill 100 yards from the closest parking, I had to conquer it all with my trusty rock ’n roller cart.
Despite the daunting setup, I created a magical atmosphere for the bride and groom. I also introduced a new ceremony setup featuring the EV Everse 8, a small, lightweight, battery-powered system with mic receiver capabilities. I utilized the Sennheiser G4 lavaliere as my professional system and the Comica C3 as secondary mics. While the Comica C3 performed admirably, its 2.4GHz spectrum nature made it susceptible to interference, a valuable lesson for mic selection.
Although the dance segment didn’t make it into this gig log due to a minor mishap, the overall experience was a memorable and fun gig that I can’t wait to share with you.

everse8 for life. i was in the market for an upgrade in january 2023 and made this purchase and i swear by it and tell every dj I know about its sound and versatility and how easy it makes cermonies. Controlling everything from an ipad is heaven sent.
Indeed a fantastic speaker
Scotts the Man, shouts to Harry. Salute to you dj Peck
For sure…thought someone would shout them out sooner :)
@@lavishlifedjs Agreed. You're the man as well.
That load in would have been a no for me…..because there’s also a load out….😂😂😂. You are a professional and you are very young and strong. Kudos to you and keep up the great work.
Thanks. Yeah definitely the toughest load in I’ve ever had…this venue wasn’t built for weddings.
Awesome job as always. Love your style. We have lots in common. We love ape labs haha!
Thanks so much! 😊 Ape labs is the best : )
Man what a load in!! I've been considering adding an extra fee for outdoor events because the load ins can be rough!
Worst load in ever lol…load in tax seems reasonable
Nice Vlog! My boy DJ Nate Acosta started vlogging and he used the same RCF sound you have and the Everse for ceremonies! Nice work!
Thanks. I recently watched some of Nate's vlogs-top notch
❤
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Bluetooth for ceremonies? 😮 You're a much braver man than I am! Lol... I just can't take the risk. Anyway, congratulations on getting the Everse 8. It's definitely a very nice little ceremony speaker for sure!
Yeah just started doing that. At first, I was pretty nervous about it but I do have a line in ready for emergency audio (phone with the very same mp3 I used for the IPad).
@@lavishlifedjs Glad to hear it! I've just read too many horror stories on the internet from DJs using a bluetooth connection for ceremonies and then the signal fails and completely ruins the bride's day. I saw one bride try to sue the DJ over it. Ceremonies are stressful enough without adding any extra stress to it yanno, lol. With a hardwired connection, you never have to worry. Anyway, I love your channel as always! You know what you're doing and don't need advice from me. Take care!
@@DJ2Legit007solid advice my friend. Thanks.
@@DJ2Legit007 I always use the aux cable on the Mackie Thump Go. Would hate to lose connection during the walk in and I think it sounds better than bluetooth.
Why taking he risk by using Bluetooth, when a cable will do the job ? Bluetooth for the app, to control EQ, compressor and effect is OK, but for sound, just use a cable !
It’s already a super tiny setup compared to a pair of speakers, mixer, etc. Less is more until a certain point !
Nice video. Yeah im getting tried of the barn weddings. Rather ballroom.
You and me both!
Your ceremony rig is top notch!!!!! And your main rig is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥so clean
Wow, thank you!
Hey lady, you not stand in the entrance ffs 🤣
Lol yup
Two of my non DJ Friends heard my Everse 8 and bought it for personal use! A great speaker 🔈
Wow…that’s impressive
Love you gig logs man. Give me inspiration. Keep it up! I have the same ceremony set up as your old one, about to use the Everse 8 for the first time this weekend for a wedding ceremony. Hopefully I'll get the same results!
Thanks bro…I think you will be happy
Awesome gig log!
Appreciate it 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I was also using the everse 8 before I left the business. What a speaker! You definately earned your money on that one. Everything looked great.
Thanks…definitely a dope little speaker
If sometime you could make dedicated ceremony vid that would be great. The real ins and outs would be great. The vlogs are great, but some more in depth would be appreciated, as your using the best of the best equipment, thanks in advance.
I’m rolling in to my office season here in the northeast so that may be possible
Awesome!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Always on point DJPeck
Appreciate it my guy 🙏🏾
I used my Everse 8s on Sunday and it was the best thing I’ve ever done for my ceremony setup. Would love to connect with you on the microphone setups. Awesome job brother!! Keep up the amazing work!! -djmike🎤
Thanks. Love the Everse 8. Let me know what questions you have regarding the mics
@@lavishlifedjs would love to get information on them. Name, Brand, Model, etc..
Amazing always. Thank you. How do you charge the mic without a battery?
Thanks. The phoenix pro hooks in to the Everse 8 and the rest of the mics use batteries.
Nice vid! What's the glow tubes you're using on your RCFs?
Thanks. Ape labs stick XL.
Great video quick question. During the ceremony did you adjust the mic levels on the speaker or use the ev app? 😊 thanks
I used the app
That load in was serious !! Hey I did a ceremony this past weekend with the DJI MIC and used a Lavalier (1/8) that I bought off Amazon for $20 (for two ) and it went perfect . Not sure if you ever tried that , I see you have the DJI system . You could stream line your set up even more.
Definitely a serious load in : )
I like the DJI mics. While I like the ease of use of these 2.4 Ghz mics, i would be leery of using it as my main...Things like cellphones operate on the same frequency. They work but I'm more concern about when they don't and whether they would be more prone to drop outs. I also think with these mics, you have to be line of sight to be sure they work properly. I like the sennheiser G4 lav because it's small and portable and i'm able to scan for a frequency that is optimal for each specific location. I feel more at ease with that particular situation, therefore I reinforce with the comica and not replace. No mic is 100 perfect though.
@@lavishlifedjs I hear you , I’m always worried about signals using any of them .
Great video content as expected I am using the Everse 8 as well would love to know what Phenyx Pro mic you are using and if it required you to get a specific power cord. I have the PTU-71-2H
Thanks. Same mic…I got the connection when I ordered the tray. It works.
👍
🙌🏾🙏🏾
Nice set up, any reason you were t running your moving heads?
I did eventually turn them on
Just used the Comica mics for the first time last week and they are fantastic. I used them with a Sennheiser lav and a Shure handheld. Obviously they don't sound as good, but they sound very good for $129. What tripod are you using for ceremony? It looks little--perfect for that situation. Thanks.
Appreciate the comment…I used this tripod

Lavish have you tried using the DJI Microphones for Ceremony? They seem pretty easy to use and setup.
I've never tried it but I'm pretty sure they would work just as well if not better than the comica...I use the DJI for vlogging so didn't want to worry about switching
@@lavishlifedjs yes I’m sure they would work well and much easier to put on than a Lavalier microphone. If the DJI microphones, don’t give you a lot of drop offs, I would consider using them for ceremony, much much easier and quicker to set up.
Can you give some details on the mover/stand situation, the connector piece you are using and etc?
Sure
Mover = Chauvet Intimidator Free Spot 60 ILS
The connector piece came with the mover…I just attached it to a prox speaker mount adapter…www.idjnow.com/2-prox-x-ls79-universal-adapter-lighting-mounts-package.html?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4ePDxdyyggMVRF1yCh2FEACUEAQYDSABEgIZ1vD_BwE
And the stand is the gravity stand
Once again… Sound Switch comes up short. ADJ WMX1 FTW.
You use to use soundswitch ?
Bro what lighting stands are those & what brackets are those used to mount your moves on the stands? please advise. thank you
They are gravity stand…the bracket on the moving head came with the light. I attached it to Prox universal light fixture attachment.

Ok cool thank you for the response. Could you assist with model of the stand as I’m in South Africa so I’d have to order from Amazon. Thank you again
@@2Uniquelivefor sure…a.co/d/3iBEB2R they have black and white
Hey brother what wireless camera microphone do you use?
DJI Mic...I believe they are coming out with a newer version soon
Hello. I need help answering a question. I live in Russia. I bought a new Everse 8. It was undercharged. I put it on AC charging, as written in the instructions, for 24 hours. It was located next to the speaker. The dimly lit display shows information about the current battery charge. After about 10 minutes, the display began to blink randomly for several seconds, nothing strange in appearance, as if this is how it should work with electric currents passing inside the charger, then the display glowed faintly again for several minutes, and again a short blink. Is this normal for Everse 8 when charging from the mains in the off state? I have never had speakers with such displays before, there is only a JBL EON ONE Compact. But it has an LED display, not an indicator panel. Therefore, I do not know if this display behavior is normal for Everse 8, as I wrote, or not? I am grateful in advance to those who will answer! There is nowhere else to ask in Russia. There is nothing about Everse 8 on Russian CZcams except my amateur videos. I have to ask on foreign CZcams channels.
Hmm. I’ve never really notice this kind of behavior but I’ll check next time I take the Everse out
Thank you. I figured it out. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. I was told that this is how the charger can react to high currents in the electrical network, reducing them to the desired ones when charging the speaker off. I live in Russia. There is no one to ask. And I have a couple more questions. The battery life of my Everse 8 outdoors when using all three channels simultaneously: microphone, guitar, soundtracks at maximum volume is less than 3 hours. Does anyone have such a result? At the same time, at home, when music is played over a single Bluetooth channel with the usual volume for a living area of 28 square meters and a sound pressure of about 80 dB, according to the noise meter mobile application, the result was obtained at 17 o'clock. I have been checking this on a timer for several days. Are 6 hours at 121 dB and 12 hours at 95 dB indicated in the passport for one channel or for all three? Thank you.
A little bit of math. I also have a JBL Eon One Compact 2020, which has a claimed power of 150 watts. Its lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 6100 mAh at an operating voltage of 14.8 volts. The power of this battery is 90.28 wh. Now Everse 8. The power of the amplifier is 400 watts, the capacity of the lithium-ion battery is 6000 mAh, the voltage is 14.4 volts. The power is 86.4 wh. What's happening? Due to the more than 2.5 times greater power of the Everse 8 amplifier compared to the power of the JBL amplifier (400 vs. 150) and the slightly lower power of the Everse 8 battery compared to the JBL battery (86.4 vs. 90.28), manufacturers of both speakers claim the same operating time, an average volume of 12 hours and a maximum volume of 6 hours. One in one! But judging by their amplifiers and batteries, this can't be happening. Don't you think so? I agree that Everse 8 is more powerful and louder than JBL, I have seen this from personal experience, comparing them on the street, but, alas, this is due to the loss of autonomy. Not everyone knows or guesses about this. Otherwise, it doesn't scare me. The main thing for me is sound, and in Everse 8 it is better for my ears. I just need to use it wisely, optimizing for my needs, and then it will last longer
We also mathematically equalize their batteries for the convenience of counting. 86.4 wh = 90.28 wh. Everse 8 with its 400W amplifier is divided into a compact JBL Eon One with a power of 150W = 2,6! (400 / 150 = 2.6) This means that at maximum volume, the battery discharge of the Everse 8 will be 2.6 times greater than that of the JBL. The batteries are the same. The question is, which column will discharge first? Everse 8 or JBL? According to these calculation formulas, it is clear that Everse 8 works faster, but everywhere in advertising they write about 6 hours, but in fact less than 3. Therefore, I wondered if this was a malfunction or not. Now I understand that it is not. It's just that very few people have tested Jbl eon one compact and Everse 8 as well as I have, if only because not everyone has them both at once)
I run all my ceremony music from Spotify. Is there a DJ app that that can support Spotify?
Not that I know of…DJay Pro uses Tidal for now so you can transfer your playlist to Tidal
@@lavishlifedjs I use tidal. Will have to check that out.
Is the everse better than the Maui?
In some ways yes…The Everse 8 sounds loader, it has the capability of powering a receiver and it can be controlled and EQ’ld via an app. The Maui on the other hand can be used without a tripod and more sleek
everse is good but you can get the same sound quality thumb Go with a way cheaper price tag
I’ve never heard the thump go but I’m sure they are decent speakers.
