    Good vid!
    Pro Tips:
    1. Get a 8X8 canopy
    2. Brackets, hooks and ties for the Van
    3. Tie your extension cord to the power strip so you wont forget it.
    4. Always plug the controller in before launching Serato.
    5. Turn on both speakers and turn the volume down.

    @louprimo6062 3 года назад +54

    Bard lose that 50 foot cable and get something better. The wire gauge (thickness) is 14. That way too thin of wire to travel 50 feet and will not provide the proper voltage to your equipment which can cause the wire to overheat and damage your equipment. Get a wire with a gauge value of 12 or 10. The lower the gauge the thicker the wire. Pro Tip from a DJ that’s also an electrician.

    • @thetoolman5380
      @thetoolman5380 3 года назад +8

      I second this! Grab a roll of SO or SJ cable 12/3 and make your own. very professional looking and very tough! Don't skimp on the ends either. :)

    • @kidcupid07
      @kidcupid07 3 года назад +3

      mike sciocchetti where can I find SO or SJ to make my own

    • @thetoolman5380
      @thetoolman5380 3 года назад +1

      DJ Hands-On Home Depot sells that cable by the foot or you order a spool from them or amazon. I use SO for bringing power to me. Then SJ for anything else. It’s the same cable just smaller diameter. Go check it out at the store. You will see what I mean. SJ just stands for service cord junior. It’s used in industrial applications. Very tough. Doesn’t mind the cold or the heat. Rating is really SOOW. And SJOW.

    I use iPads all the time for ceremonies and as back up for grand entrance. They save my butt a couple times. Pro tip do not leave iPad in direct sun they over heat and takes about 10 minutes to cool down.

    • @pweldon
      @pweldon 3 года назад +1

      Dj Slick I second this. I once did an outdoor ceremony while setup in direct sunlight. The iPad worked fine for the processional but during the course of the ceremony, the iPad overheated because of the sun and I couldn’t play the recessional. I now have a small iPod available as backup. I also keep both out of the sun until the last possible moment.

    • @kidcupid07
      @kidcupid07 3 года назад

    • @DJSHaKa
      @DJSHaKa 3 года назад

      With controllers, you must plug them in... then turn on computer and open a fresh copy of Serato. Not always, but good practice to do this.

    • @Dj_rueboi

    What’s up Barr? I totally agree with you about outdoor weddings. I’ve done three this summer and that heat was unbearable. On the bright side, they were all fun events. This crowd was hype, and really came to party. You killed it my friend. The new is is dope too. Appreciate all you do for the DJ community.#Salute

  • @weelsofsteel2
    @weelsofsteel2 3 года назад +2

    Awesome job! Hey I had the same heat issues too!I bought those tall fans and pointed them at my turntables and lappy all night! Guess what, the moving air going through them kept the heat down. I can feel the difference just by touching the surface. I do not like out doors of this reason but it helped a lot.

  • @thomasschultz7564
    @thomasschultz7564 3 года назад +4

    Whenever I have an outdoor event, no matter the event or any other specifics. I ALWAYS bring my own canopy/tent. (Bonus: You can customize the canopy/tent with your company logo or colors) I also bring mini battery-powered fans for myself and sometimes my equipment.

    Yes, you can fit a lot of things there, but be shure to install a cargo separation and metalic guards for the rear windows. Then you can stack everything you can imagine inside that van. Believe me, I carry a lot more eqquipment than you in an old ram van 1500 (model 2000).

    Barr I live in AZ it gets 115, I never DJ under the sun but in the shady area it's still hot. I use a laptop cooling fan, I carry 2 small fans 1 for my controller and 1 for my yamaha mixer. and I also have a fan to cool me down. and I drink lots of H20 and eat banana, craps from being dehydrated is a killer..

Congratulations with the van, it is very pretty.

    Most of my gigs are outdoor, i use a battery operated system for ceremonies. I use a Maui 5 GO, and battery packs to run the mic and laptop, although yesterday i used my new Denon Prime GO, loved it ! I use a small facade type booth and attach small clamp on umbrellas if the sun is an issue.

    Nice to see a Gig Log after a long, long time. I too hate doing weddings outdoors under a marquee & know exactly what you mean. With regards to background/ elevator music, i play anything from the fusion Jazz Band called Fourplay. With regards to heating of the laptop use place something under the back end of the laptop so that it is on a slant and there is maximum air flow all around the laptop.

    Man this hit me right in the feels. My last 3 events have been outside in Michigan, at venues that are NOT normally outside. Only 1 had appropriate coverage as required in our contract.
    I honestly think people think it’s just us being “divas” or expecting too much, but all I want to do is deliver an exceptional event. If you can’t see your laptop, cues, stuff like that.... man it’s tough.
    And YES the bugs brah, hate the bugs. At least 90 minutes day after cleaning all my equipment.

  • @retellmusic
    @retellmusic 3 года назад

    This just happened to me at an outdoor gig with my 2018 Macbook Pro. It was 98 outside and full humidity. None of my programs would open (bouncing icons). Ran an ipad for about an hour until the unit actually did boot. Serato took 30 mins to open, it was terrible. My seventy-two was 75% operational with some functions not responding Serato wise. I was able to get through it thankfully. I did warn the party host that I was not 100% and she did appreciate that. The next day (indoors) I booted my mac and it was back to normal, thankfully no catastrophic damage. Non the less, outdoor gigs are indeed rough and can destroy your operation limiting your full potential. Thanks for the tips!

  • @marcohernandez8520
    @marcohernandez8520 Год назад

    Nice video y si muy Caliente. I dj with my daughter but anytime we do a wedding out doors I always set up a pop up tent. To keep me cool and if they say anything I always say I don't want to heat up the equipment and ruin a wedding. It's a fancy gray into white so it passes as fancy.

    Hey bro I experience the same issues with the DDJ-1000 SRT but I usual connects after the 2nd reconnect. As far as speakers overheating making sure they’re out of the sun or else the sound will start to crackle and distort which means it’s starting to overheat. Great content as usual!!! 👍🏾🔥

    Hey man, Love your content. Keep up the good work. For your DDJ 1000-SRT giving you issues with not connecting to your computer could be a MAC issue too. A buddy of mine has been experiencing the same issue and he had to take it to an apple store to get it checked out. Would love to spin alongside you someday. Cheers

    I've had that connection issue with the DDJ 1000 since I purchased it. Driver updates (Mac & PC) lowered the frequency but the issue continues. It's a shame.

  • @queenjesseen
    @queenjesseen 3 года назад

    I use to hate the heat because of laptop fails.(I had the horrible laptop shut downs at a few weddings and that's a nightmare) I've also DJ'd at a water park every summer all summer long since 2014. I've gone through some laptops....ugh. I finally bought a stand alone and decided on the Denon Prime 4. Difficult transition for me but now that I'm use to it I will never go back. I used it 3 times a week this entire summer and it has never given me any problems. I think you would love it! And they've fixed the software bugs that it had in the beginning.

  • @armandohernandez1224

    Also btw, I love my new Denon Prime 4 w internal drive! The easiest, lightest main setup in 30 years! I want the Prime Go for ceremony (and it will double as a main backup!) the laptop is a 2ndary backup but stays in the backpack! I’m all about light, compact, pro systems. I’ll be doing some vids on this all soon, but would love to get your take...?

    Hey Barr! Connect the controller to your laptop before opening Serato. Also check to make sure your firmware is up to date on the laptop, and you're running the latest version of Serato DJ Pro.

    Dope vlog bro. They sell these platform fans powered by USB, laptop sits right on it and it prevents overheating for events like this.

    Amplifiers, whether seperate for passive speakers or in active speakers, certainly can and will go into thermal protect if ran hard enough in direct sunlight. Fortunately I've never had it happen personally but I've seen it on larger rigs.

    I have a small fan for me and pad fan for under my laptop. I need to figure out something for when my speakers are out in the sun though. Make sure both fans are QUIET fans. For the laptop fan, there are plenty of options and most gigs I don't even need to plug it in, but it's nice to have the option for those hot days.

    @DJ Barr the newer Macbooks don't handle heat well AT ALL outside especially with sun. Try to avoid whenever possible. It's a known issue with them. The older Macbooks didn't have this issue but the slimmer ones do.

  • @northwestaudio

    90% of our weddings are outdoors, for ceremonies I try to setup under a tree if possible. but for receptions, there's a good change we'll be in direct sunlight. Vinyl skins, white, can save your gear. We also use a small clip on umbrella to keep the gear out of the sun until its time to go -- at that point the sun is usually in a more manageable position. Drink all the water you can carry. Don't worry too much about stuff over heating, but pay close attention to your laptop. My DDJ-1000 has been too hot to touch but its never failed -- we are going to get a white skin kit for it. I've never had a connection issue, but I have the RB version -- it works everytime with VirtualDJ (I know, I'm probably not a real dj... LOL)

    Nice gig Barr, just a few things to check:
    on your wedding planning sheets, spelling.
    On your mp3's, the longer one has a clicking sound in it. I've tested it on numerous computers, HDD & thumb drives.
    Can't seem to get rid of it, I'm hearing it when the music quiets down in the file.

    In NC outside weddings are a normal and having a laptop cooling pad is key. Also check Amazon for Liquid IV it’s packet you add to water also look for Hi-Lyte electrolyte salt caps on amazon. Both are must haves.

      Hey Barr I just got in to DJing over the last year and have my first wedding booked for next year. I bought your wedding planner and cocktail mix today. Heads up there’s a spelling error. It says “what time of dinner music would you like”. I’m assuming it’s supposed to say Type of dinner Music. Other than that the 2 mixes sound great and the questionnaire is gonna be a great help. Love the videos. They’ve been very helpful and entertaining. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there!
