The best when someone comes up to say hi! Amazing connections with peeps thru music! Love your vids! ❤❤❤
@@Gaba.Groove thanks you!!!
Great video, any tips on how to pick the songs for the set list
Yeah! First off, start with songs you love to play. From there if you need to add more songs, you can use any popular lists like Spotify for any given genres you like to play. You'll get a lot of ideas that way. Any additional popular songs you often get requests for, add them.
That is impressive 👏
Thank you! We love what we do!
To apply and audition is there a company you go through or contact Norwegian directly.
Man, thank you for your videos. Those have been helping me a lot!!!!!
We really enjoyed your music on the Viva! We made sure to find you each night. Thanks for making our cruise so enjoyable. I sure hope to see you on a future cruise & keep up with where you're playing on your vlog.
Thank you so much! It means the world to us when our shows are part of making your vacation a wonderful experience! We hope to see you again soon!!
i was super disrespectful to the ocean calling it all kinds of names n stuff and taunting it, i was like 12 years old at the time, anyway the sea never forgets so im stuck on land for the remainder of my days here. it's better safe that sorry.
How can you be proud of working on the "Float N Bloat" vehicles that pollute the air, the water and communities they pass through.
In what situations would the life raft be used vs the boats?
On ships, there is always more than enough space for all of the guests at full capacity to fit on the lifeboats. The life rafts are there to ensure the crew all has space to be safe too. Additionally, there is enough space on the lifeboats in the event that some of the lifeboats are inaccessible due to the nature or location of the emergency. Realistically, you’ll likely never need to even use the lifeboats, let alone the life rafts!
Thank you
I remember you!!! The ocean music fest was amazing when me and my husband were there
Thank you so much!! We put a lot of love and care into that show! Hope to see you again out on the seas somewhere soon!
Why not simply get the sound guy to take one (or more) aux out from his desk to the input on your wireless IEM transmitters. The sound guy can then mix your IEM mix (which you set up in sound check). In my experience, many sound guys don't like bands using split snakes, especially because the sound guy would then have to unplug the mics for the drums and plug them into your split snake (so you can mix the drums through your IEMs) - most sound guys would find this a lot of hassle. Unless you absolutely NEED to mix your own IEMs or record your own multitrack audio at a festival, ditch the split snake and just get the sound guy to plug an aux or 2 from his mixer to your wireless IEM transmitter(s). I'd be interested to know how you deal with the issue of drum mics when using a split snake at a festival because if there's a shared drum kit and the sound guy has already miked it up and connected to his multicore/desk, he's not gonna love having to unplug all the drum mics and plug them into your split - how do you get round this?
We play 100s of shows every year for over 10 years and I’ve literally never met a sound guy who had a problem with our set up. Our sound checks and set ups (even on a multi-band bill or festival) are lightning fast. We set up our cabling and inputs offstage so it’s almost done before we even get our gear in place. Our sound check is already complete because our in-ear monitor mixes are saved and ready to go. The drum inputs are ultimately up to the sound engineer on how he or she wants to set it up, but most of the time, they’re fine with us using our mics and cables and then taking the signal from our snake. It causes very little disruption to their signal flow. Sometimes, the really prefer using their mics and cables, so we set up the split snake near their snake, and make it very convenient for them to plug and go. Many sound engineers get a reputation for being cranky, but they’re not unreasonable or lazy. They are just likely frustrated with people who are inconsiderate of them and who do not show proper appreciation for their art. We get around this issue you’ve posed in your comment by advancing our tech via email, showing up early, clear and kind communication, and being respectful. Buying them a beer doesn’t hurt either.
Hello! I want to ask if it would be difficult for Indians to get a party band contract?
It shouldn’t be any more difficult for a band to get the gig because of their country of origin. I’ve seen party bands from South Africa, Philippines, Colombia, and Brazil. I’ve also met musicians from Ecuador, Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Greece, Bulgaria, Ukraine, and Spain. If you have the right promotional material and your band plays the right songs, you’re just as hirable as musicians from anywhere else around the world!
That’s really helpful of you to upload these videos, got great insights! I’m just a little confused upon the repertoire and the genres which are needed to be prepared before the performance :) If y’all can help me with that, it’d be really helpful!
Great video! Is there an easy way to use this setup but still be able to send unmixed signal to FOH?
Great question! We use a split snake You need THIS to run in-ear monitors ruclips.net/video/3Mu8APF5UzE/видео.html
@@DavidPaigeMusic Thanks for your reply! I did some research and while the split snake is a viable option, I think we're going to get a rack mounted Midas DN4816-O and map all our inputs from the behringer mixer into it's outputs to keep everything more compact. You should check it out if you haven't!
Hi . I’m hoping you can help 🤞 I’ve tried to mirror your set up . However I cannot get GB to recognise the x air as the interface . Did you have to alter any settings in the mixer or on GB ? Or was it simple plug in and away to go ?
I would have to look again, but I’m pretty sure I ran into some roadblocks and addressed those in this video. I’m currently on vacation and away from all musical equipment. I’ll have to check this out in September.
You know any bands looking for a bass player.
Honestly? You play for the crowd. She was enjoying her night. Why scold her? Just enjoy your gig and have fun. You sound just like a Karen!
David, I'm totally impressed. Back in the 80s, I played a 5 week tour of the southwest. 7 nights in Albuquerque, 6 nights in Tucson, 13 nights in El Paseo and 4 more nights in Tucson. We customized our 17' truck with a 4 bunk sleeper and would run a 100' power cable into a cheap motel room with 2 queen beds into the bathroom outlet. You guys...9 months! Total road dogs!! Let me know if need a guitar player.
Hey dude, I built my bands IEM rig about a year ago after watching your vids! Best thing I could have done!! Now I’m back watching your vids about recording the audio from the digital mixer into logic…my question is how do you record each of your individual mix’s on each bus into logic…trying to make some content showcasing what each band member hears in their ears but I dunno how to record bus’s into logic.
That’s amazing!! I’m so glad you are loving your IEM right now and that it’s helping your band perform at their best! I’m gonna let you in on a secret. You can’t actually record each individual mix, like I’m showing in here and like you’re wanting to show in your content. I made 6 different mixes that closely resemble what each person hears (and one for the mains). Then I synced each mix with the video and made cuts needed to match what I wanted to show. If that doesn’t make sense or if you want some more guidance on this feel free to dm me on instagram @davidpaigemusic
Great job. One of my favorite movies.
@@skullstjohn thanks! Glad you’ve found us!
Sir can i dm you i want to edit shorts or reels for u for free thanks
Wow, Stephanie has got it going on!
@@skullstjohn couldn’t agree more!
Do you prefer the snorkeling or swimming with pigs?? I'm trying to decide which excursion to do!
They’re both so fun, but where else can you swim with pigs?? You can snorkel just about anywhere.
I'm really glad to have stumbled upon your videos! Thanks so much for sharing your insights on the cruise musician life. It's much appreciated. As a fellow gigging musician it's great to hear experiences of different music professions!! 🎵
@@Aaron-Qman thank you so much! I’m happy that you’ve gotten some value out of what I’ve put out into the world. Keep rockin’! It’s literally all that separates us from those who “didn’t make it”
Very nice that you could take your son and show him more of the world. Enjoy your vacation!
It’s been an amazing journey for all of us! Thanks for watching! ❤️❤️❤️
Great video! Just wondering. Do you change sets at every show? How big of a setlist did you have beforehand to be able to change up a little bit the show each time (I'm talking more about the lounge music)?
Thanks! Glad you liked this one! I talk exactly about this question in this video: ruclips.net/video/SWmRb3C7Vdw/видео.htmlsi=VEH6xoZ_ydlZZYfX It’s a fun watch if you’re interested. If not, the short answer is “yes, we have unique sets for each performance”
@@DavidPaigeMusic Thank you so much! I just watched it, it was very helpful ^^
Great video! Is the audio separated out by track in logic when recording?
@@Gaba.Groove it is! Perfect multitracked separation 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hey, I just stumbled across your channel. Loving everything I see. I just wanted to let you know that here in Australia if you're a member of a Musicians organisation.. here in Oz its APRA with some airplane companies you get and extra 65kg and upto 4 bags each member of the band or group. Virgin has this as their musicians allowance. Thought I'd share incase it helps in future for your travels. Keep up the great inspiring work. Luke
Hey Luke! Thank you so much! NCL, Carnival, and our next line all have similar baggage allowances. How do you like working for Virgin? We haven’t had the opportunity to talk to someone directly about that line.
@@DavidPaigeMusic My pleasure. I wasn’t sure if you knew about it so felt to share. I don’t work for Virgin. I’m an artist that has a lot of equipment to lug around, saw you video and absolutely related to it 😀
David, thanks for the video. Can each person use a iPhone or IPad app to control their own in-ear mix or are you only able to make adjustment via the master console or app? Thanks.
Yeah, absolutely. There is an app for iPads and an app for iPhones and an app for android devices. Everyone can control their own mix if they’d like! I recommend getting an external router to boost the signal strength though.
Dave and Stephanie, It was amazing listening to you guys on the Viva in June. It was also an honour meeting you on the La Ramblas in Barcelona. All the best on your future ventures.....Royston from South Africa👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It was our pleasure meeting you, Royston!! Can’t wait to see ya again soon!
David: Not sure what kind of case that was that got damaged, but I just watched a very good video about road cases being abused. I'm talking about being dropped off trucks, off balconies, etc. Humes & Berg beat out SKB, & Gator Cases in every way. But yeah, I've heard so many horror stories about guitars and gear being destroyed by airlines thru the years. Can't wait to hear about your next cruise ship gig. y'all keep on rockin. 😉
Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme: United breaks guitars! It was an SKB flight case. It honestly took some intentional magic to break this thing apart. Thanks for spending some time with us!! See ya in the next one!
As my son plans to do more away gigs I will add his gear as a rider to our home insurance- it's cheap peace of mind. Yes, annoying to have to replace damaged or lost gear, but better than having to do so out of your own pocket! Welcome home, btw. Looks like you're getting a well-earned rest.
That’s a great idea. There are specific instances that home insurance will cover and certain instances that they will not cover. You may want to look into different types of insurance specifically for the gear of touring or traveling musicians
Hi, bro, please, which brand/type is this guitar bag of yours?
Mono M80 Dual Electric Guitar Case
Hi David! I just wanna say thanks a lot for your vlogs, we've been watching your cruise adventure since day 1, as we dreamed of working on a cruise as well, now, everything has come into fruition we're cruising Australia! and everything we learned from your vlogs is very helpful, we are a music duo as well. All the best, David!
That’s amazing!! Congratulations!! So happy for you! Which line/ship?
How do they determine the value of your claim?
No idea yet. I told them the value of the road case in my claim and then had to send it in. No word on the claim from them yet.
ruclips.net/video/5YGc4zOqozo/видео.htmlsi=POkkGysdKwKyUv1X
I was thinking about putting a nice little clip of the hook of that into this video lol
That was a wild story, I know about the breaking of guitars on these flights, McCartney gets a seat for his bass. That tour seemed to go by quickly at least for me watching your videos but Im sure getting back with your son is just fantastic. I know yu already said its not NCL but it would have been cool, Im going NCL through Greece in sept.
If only the cruise lines would purchase that extra seat for my guitars lol This contract flew by (now that it’s over) but the day to day felt very long to us lol
Those 4.5 months were super real 😂 They were so full of all the things!!
@8:42 That's *exactly* why no musician wants to check their instruments. The damage sucks, but at least it didn't happen on the way to the ship.
Couldn’t agree more! We got lucky in that regard! We do have some shows when we are officially back in Chicago, but we can manage.
Really enjoyed listening to you and Stephanie when my husband and I were on the Viva in December 2023! Enjoy your vacation and can’t wait to see where your next contract is.
Thank you so much!! It was our pleasure! We hope to see you and your husband on the seas again soon!
Thank you!!! Come on out an see us on the next one!
David, Enjoy your vacation, I hope to cross paths with both of you again, I truly enjoyed listening to you guys on Viva, Thanks for making my cruise that much better!
Thank you Jorge!! We loved getting to meet you! Hope to see you again soon, too!
That one tip about turning on automatic was the one thing I really needed, thankyou
@@user-uv4qw9rj7g glad it helped!!
Did you play with the OG Guess who or the new band that is basically a tribute band that doesn't admit it?
@@shellyfox863 hahaha the tribute version. None of the original members were present that day 😂
Thank you! How do you mix in backtracks, click n cues?
Same way you mix in anything else, but we don’t use a click or tracks for this band. That’s why it’s not covered in this particular video. We do use them in other bands of mine. Click goes into one input in the mixer, tracks go to another; then, you mix them in as you would any other input.
hey @davidpaige, thanks for the vid! are you satisfied with the seismic audio splitter? I've read some different opinions about it and consider to buy one for a similar set up. Cheers, from Amsterdam!
Hey there! I’ve not had an issue with it at all. It holds up to constant use and touring. It’s a great budget-friendly option
Nassau? Ya didn’t miss much!
Just watched a few of your videos!!! I love the videos and getting to see the other side of cruises and the hard working awesome staff
Thank you so much!
Great tune man!! Keep on rocking! 🤘🫶
