I just completed 30 years of DJing and I have never felt so abused by wedding coordinators as I have the last ten years. I like to have a firm sense of what to expect and I get paid for "extra." My contract is pretty firm on when I am working and what is included AND what is considered additional service. That said, it is very difficult to argue with a wedding coordinator on the wedding day over the limits of your agreement in the heat of battle. I applaud the Sound Couple for rising above and helping out but I can't help but think there must be a courteous way to upsell the service for unexpected situations. Seems like if they were outside, the house would provide sound. The venue should provide inside sound as well. Love the channel. Perhaps I missed the bit where you were paid to provide sound outside too. I don't think this wedding would blink at the additional fee. What do you think?
Good point...we don't know what the plans were for outside. The coordinator here was accommodating as possible, but the ball was definitely dropped somewhere, but we don't know where. A courteous upsell...there has to be a way!
It is very awesome that you two are flexible, and can "roll with the punches" as it relates to changes and additions. I hope the vendors recognize such service. Nice job!
A classic case of the show must go on - well done for being part of the solution and not part being of the problem! It looked a great party with a lot of people up dancing - you nailed it!
Always enjoy you're videos, I feel sound guys and ladies do not get the recognition they deserve, people, venues don't get how much work it is , not just the gig but also behind the scenes. Planning ,matinence, set up ect. Plus we are the first ones that the finger gets pointed at even when something is wrong and not our fault!!. Good job as always!! Look forward to all you're videos!!
It's always interesting to see how others deal with the unexpected surprise that inevitably comes up at gigs. Way to roll with the punches, you two!! One of the reasons I charge more for weddings, is just this very thing. There is ALWAYS something that comes up!! Last spring I purchased a pair of Electro Voice Evolve 50 column systems. I put them over a pair of 18" subs and have been pleasantly surprised at what they are capable of. I've used them at several weddings and besides being powerful enough to cover a room of 500+ people, for a 5 piece country/rock band, they take up very little real estate, which, as you know, is always a premium at a wedding event. Looking forward to more. Happy Thanksgiving!!
Another great gig for the books. I love the fact that you're as flexible as you can be. 99% of the time, I'm going into events mostly blind; I ask for information but it's seldom forthcoming, so I've gotten used to being flexible. That said, it has gotten me repeat clients and more referrals work as time goes along.
You guys do a great Job. I wish I could find a wedding/event band to work with. My gear sits more than it’s used although I am more of a hobbyist. I would still love to do it more. Just not good at marketing myself I guess.
In our opinion, location plays a big role. We are located in the Twin Cities, MN. These are larger cities with lots of activity....you go 100 miles out in any direction and things change. In fact, as you see from the history of our videos, these areas tend to select from the wealth of talent located here. We do gigs from Iowa, to the Dakota's to Wisconsin.
No one can doubt but that The Sound Couple has some of the most stressful, yet amazing, gigs. This time between the rain, the relocated wedding ceremony, the very compressed timeframe for load-in and set-up, and the associated production demands, the professionalism and flexibility of Bart and Stacy shines through brilliantly. Once again, the Pecron came through excellently. Watching the navigation of the many issues at this gig was most instructive. Thanks to Bart and Stacy for allowing us to ride along this roller coaster of a wedding production.
Hi Dean...I just read your comment and a couple of things popped in my head. First, this is primarily a wedding venue which is likely booked straight through with DJ's and other bands. Here we come and we need a Pecron...why us? We primarily do it for our own peace of mind but pretty sure nobody else would do this. We hear about other weddings and what just "one" person has to do to get the job done. We are personally proud of the job we do, but certainly grounded as it feels like all of this stuff is normalized as expected results from anyone....So we feel at times that we are continually pressured to step up our game just to keep pace with what others are apparently doing. We only "hear" about others and more recently got to see a "one man" operation in action and it was good. Point is, thank you for recognizing our effort, but we feel that extra pressure as higher expectations are normalized. This is partly the paranoia personality trait that I believe a lot of sound engineers have. At some point, I can guess we will reach our limit. Couldn't imagine doing these without Stacy and the budgets are typically not at the level of we will do whatever it takes...feeling like a chump at times. We are most concerned about physical agility to keep on...but I sense that in this arena, it's the mental aspect that will drive us out first and let the next generation deal with it....hopefully our videos will help some of them!
Your videos will definitely instruct others, provide encouragement, and, most of all, promote professionalism. You two set a very high and admirable standard of excellence.
I normally find your videos calming to watch, but this one stressed me out a little. Lol! You seemed to know what the problems were gonna be before you backed out if your own drive way. THATS experience. Thanks for the vid.
Looks like a fun wedding! Great video. Good work powering through this chaotic setup. I cannot stand venues that expect vendors to pivot without communicating updated expectations. And like you said, if the venue was planning to provide ceremony sound, then why did that change when it was moved inside? I recently had a coordinator unexpectedly ask for a microphone and speaker for an outdoor beach ceremony while I was setting up reception PA...this was 5 minutes before the ceremony was scheduled 🤦♂️ it's not even about compensation at that point, just communicate expectations early.
You bring up an excellent point....Our hunch (maybe?), is that that with the change, the venue called off their person to come in assuming that we would just take care of it and the coordinator wasn't made aware.....the look on her face supports this theory :) To share a quick story on a more recent wedding...they decided to Karaoke one of the first dances and sent us the music link just seconds before informing us of this change. The link worked after a pause of me stripping out extra characters in the link as an uncomfortable pause lurked through the room ..we got it going. Don't recall us receiving a tip for pulling this last second request! Yep! Just expected these days!
Hello 👋 Bart and Stacy from South Texas 🤠 . I love your videos I have learned a lot from them, 👍✨🛠🪜🧰🎶 ◾️🔈🔉🔊 Bart you have a beautiful, wonderful partner take care of her you’ll find another like yours . God Bess keep the videos coming.✨👍👋✨Be Safe always my friends The Sound Couple.📢📢
You can mic an entire (well, almost) kit with one Shure SM57 using the "Wurst" method where by you place the microphone centered just above the kick aimed at the snare. It picks up the kick snare and the toms really well. The cymbals manage themselves.
@@thesoundcouple You're welcome. There are a few RUclips videos demonstrating. I use it to record band rehearsals. I think watching those videos is what lead me to your channel. I like your approach in that you don't go to great length to be "cute and funny" in your videos. You have nothing but real world experience dealing with venues, wedding coordinators, looking for power, parking, etc. Cheers!
I just supplied pa for wedding and the co ordinator said could I setup on the day but as due to size of venue and the dj and band were running through my desk and was using a line array system I had to setup the pa and lighting the day before so to avoid holding up the ceremony which the Co ordinator was happy with great video
Well done both of you, quick thinking to rescue the ceremony. Well all get it. “We’ve been told you’re providing a microphone?” Err, no, but lucky for you I’m prepared for your request! Then the best yet. “We’ve been told Fr John can get up and use your guitar to sing a song during your break?” Good job it was a charity do and I was feeling generous, but the audacity of some people 😂
Good practice on the network. I don't know if that router supports it but sometimes you can enable the guest network to have access to the main network then you can just go in and toggle that on and off and change the password. like I like to use a four letter key word and the current year and then I can just change that every year. That's a good compromise to let bandmembers connect their phones but then you can hit the reset button and next month have a different password. Of course this does require that they're using a limited app. I know with the Barringer XR series there's no security and that is rightfully so handled by the network connection. And it's so easy to do bad security I much rather they not try and reinvent the security wheel and let something that has a chance of having reasonable security handle that. but it is nice when they offer an app that only let you control monitor mixes. You do have the downside of having to onboard band members to the network but at the same time you have the opportunity to set their app to only control there mix. I would also understand not doing this when you're feeding this with a data plan!!! Although a lot of devices are now getting smart to letting you choose that it's a metered connection in the Wi-Fi set up. I've been there and done data caps. At the same time I'm considering myself lucky cause I'm now on a grandfathered Sprint plan and that was 50 gigs which doubled to 100gb and I still have rollover and I can't make a dent. It's nice to be able to set up one thing and a router and then any device I pull out is connected and not fighting for the one bar of service at the venue.
I think that you should get more Pectron power units as you don't want everything to come to a complete halt because the battery was completely drained.
Hi Bart and Stacey, I really like your videos and envy what you do. I m in a band and we setup our own PA system. However, i really appreciate if you would give us some tips to do this for full time.
The Sound Couple is a part time business for us as we both work full-time jobs as well. In our opinion to do this full time requires a lot a flexibility and networking. Church, clubs, events, and connecting with other sound companies is probably the way to go. We are lucky that we live in thriving area of activity and people and orgs with money. Most of our business is from a few bands who are corporations or individuals that may have several bands going at weddings, corporate, or town festivals. So for every many shows they have, a percentage will need production, and that's where we come in. People that we know that are doing this more full time are production providers for these events in which they get locked into recurring business. Fall/winter is always slower for us these days. Probably the biggest reason is that the corporate events that we used to do more of our now handled by hotel in-house AV companies. Hope this helps!
For a while, I've been curious about the floor monitors you use. In the videos, they seem to require a little extra stage width. Why do you use them over more narrow (portrait when tilted) wedges, low profile floor monitors like EV's PXM, or really small mic stand monitors like Galaxy PA6BT? Not criticizing or trying to persuade. I'm just curious. Love your videos.
We went with the 328's years back when we wanted a speaker that could serve as a main or monitor. We haven't found a reason to change as they do a great job in their role as a dedicated monitor!
Great watching your videos. I'd like to unofficially pick your brain. I'm considering installing 4 cdl12P's (2 each side, hanging from the ceiling) and 2 cdl 18 subs (1 each side on the floor beside stage) in a 50x50 with 25 foot ceiling room. With your experience with the cdl's, will that fill the room in your opinion? This would be a fixed install, with live full band contemporary style music.
That sounds very reasonable to us. If you need more reassurance, we have over a 100 videos showing the CDL's in action in just about every type of space that exists!
Hi Sound Couple, long time viewer first time commenter…I’m not too familiar with power stations, but do you happen to get any noise through the speakers when they are plugged into the pecron?
Great video as always, off topic question, what do you guys think about the New CDL 10P coming soon? Thinking of getting those since they show to be lighter, smaller, with same Clarity!
@@thesoundcouple I plan on just the Tops, I will let you know! I know one complaint is the limit hitting early on the CDL12, so I’ll see if they improved that!
That's great Sean...we are set with what we have but always interested in what others are up to! We don't worry about the clip for the most part!@@seantallica2020
Have you ever tried one of the Bose L1 systems? I got one for backup/ when I need to set something up in a random spot. They are so small and easy to set up for stuff like a ceremony mic on the fly. Great video once again!
We have not but know they are popular! We were thinking about a ceremony type system, but decided against it for now because it's just another decision of what we bring to the gig with gear we already have in the truck. But we do understand the benefits at the location!
That's where it starts getting weird and why we were hanging low at this one. All of this is worked out beforehand and we are simply the hired guns with our worksheet list of duties and as we mentioned, ceremony was not included. But yes, typically we do get paid for ceremony work and thankfully in this case, they made sure we did.
RUclips is getting more strict...we are constantly dealing with it. If we choose revenue sharing a video, it's a significant financial impact to us....that said, we definitely don't do this for the money...that's for sure!
Out of black gaffers tape what's wrong with that it's a wedding it should be White gaffers tape. Most things I go into I always plan to have some sort of MC mic cause you never know what you're gonna have going on. Especially at a wedding. And I got a fun job of live streaming a wedding with apparently musical acts in the upcoming year, they booked a year in advance. I thought they were talking about 2023 and I'm like well a month I should be able to do that and then I find out it's a year later, sooo plenty of time to prepare. Totally get the environmental stress problem. And I usually plan to at least be able to play music for myself and for break music, so if worse comes to worse picking songs off the already paid for Spotify premium is not that big a deal for me. Although suddenly becoming the full-time DJ is a bit much last minute.
You guys look like mobsters in all black I think you should change your channel name to The Sound Mobsters lol what do you think. I dont see how you guys do it thats such a last minute change to do the ceremony I hope you were paid nicely for that change.
You have great gear, excellent sound skills - but part of why you get chosen and paid is that can-do approach. You could have the best rig, and amazing mixing skills - but if you can’t roll with the setbacks, and you emotionally let everyone around you “feel” your frustration - you’ll be sitting at home working on your advertising campaign and not doing gigs. Cudos to you both for just doing your best and making it work.
That is the scale we all need to keep adjusting and be thinking about and preparing for outside the gig as well. We come pretty well prepared to each gig, but it still surprises me with some of the things we are asked to do or provide....it's like asking your attorney to cut your grass! What we are seeing more is that the client is wanting the bands to play later or make up the time if we start late....thankfully the contract is firm on this, but the fact that people just don't understand that we are paid professionals....we were there ready to go and it's not on us if your event is running behind!
Good eye! The making of a Sound Couple vides takes several hours to create. Going through hours of footage from each gig and editing it down to a RUclips video is no small effort! In addition, we are always gigging, working day jobs and living our personal lives as well.....we want to share it all and so we simply months behind from the current time. When you watch your favorite show, do you think they just shot it the prior week? Our RUclips channel isn't dependent on current time, so hopefully you are able to see past this...we can't be the evening news.
@thesoundcouple hi, first of all wasn't meaning to come across rude, was genuinely interested. Thanks for explaining. Love the videos and keep it up. Alway click the notification immediately lol

Definitely a win👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Y'all handled that gig very well. Proper Preparation
Appreciate that..thanks!
A classic case of the show must go on - well done for being part of the solution and not part being of the problem!

Another great gig for the books.

That said, it has gotten me repeat clients and more referrals work as time goes along.
It would be nice if that flexibility was recognized more often....it's a journey and hopefully you are winning more than losing!
Amazing job guys A+…great band too👌👌
Thank you! We love working with this group!
U guys look great! Cheers from Costa Rica!
Thanks so much!
Awesome video guys and at 30:43 is one of my favorite songs the band played 👏
We like it too!
Awesome video as always guys
We can't predict what will happen at a gig...so we work with whatever happens...thanks!
You guys do a great Job. I wish I could find a wedding/event band to work with. My gear sits more than it’s used although I am more of a hobbyist. I would still love to do it more. Just not good at marketing myself I guess.
Same. I get about 3 paid gigs a year running sound.
In our opinion, location plays a big role. We are located in the Twin Cities, MN. These are larger cities with lots of activity....you go 100 miles out in any direction and things change.

I wonder is that a licence that lets you use the music that was played at the wedding stay in the recording and played on RUclips Just wondering.

Just wondering for speeches you go with a bandwidth of 300Hz to 3Khz Just wondering,
We stick with our standard vocal channel 100Hz HPF and EQ on the channel as needed.
Are the CDL's clipping at: 30:35 ?
Yep! Pretty common but we never hear it nor does it cause problems for us.
What’s the model peckron device?!
We have a E3000.
How many hours did the pecron last
For this day, the Pecron was on for approximately 9 hours.
Ok, just curious. When a DJ walks into a room what does one look like😎
You know...it's that person! They aren't arranging flowers, setting tables or snapping pictures!

Out of black gaffers tape what's wrong with that it's a wedding it should be White gaffers tape.
Most things I go into I always plan to have some sort of MC mic cause you never know what you're gonna have going on. Especially at a wedding.
And I got a fun job of live streaming a wedding with apparently musical acts in the upcoming year, they booked a year in advance. I thought they were talking about 2023 and I'm like well a month I should be able to do that and then I find out it's a year later, sooo plenty of time to prepare.
Totally get the environmental stress problem.
And I usually plan to at least be able to play music for myself and for break music, so if worse comes to worse picking songs off the already paid for Spotify premium is not that big a deal for me. Although suddenly becoming the full-time DJ is a bit much last minute.
Good advice!
When everyone is in then that should calm the room acoustics down a bit.
Bodies are the best sound absorber!
People have no idea what it takes to setup a pro PA setup!
A lot of people think of it as no more than a volume knob.....
You guys look like mobsters in all black I think you should change your channel name to The Sound Mobsters lol what do you think. I dont see how you guys do it thats such a last minute change to do the ceremony I hope you were paid nicely for that change.
Black is always safe....but perhaps we should explore our fashion space!
We wish we could say our last minute effort was hugely rewarded...
You have great gear, excellent sound skills - but part of why you get chosen and paid is that can-do approach. You could have the best rig, and amazing mixing skills - but if you can’t roll with the setbacks, and you emotionally let everyone around you “feel” your frustration - you’ll be sitting at home working on your advertising campaign and not doing gigs. Cudos to you both for just doing your best and making it work.
That is the scale we all need to keep adjusting and be thinking about and preparing for outside the gig as well. We come pretty well prepared to each gig, but it still surprises me with some of the things we are asked to do or provide....it's like asking your attorney to cut your grass! What we are seeing more is that the client is wanting the bands to play later or make up the time if we start late....thankfully the contract is firm on this, but the fact that people just don't understand that we are paid professionals....we were there ready to go and it's not on us if your event is running behind!
Maybe the Bride should have had a waterproof Wedding Dress and the Groom could have had something that would keep him dry.
how does it take 7 months to post the video?
Good eye! The making of a Sound Couple vides takes several hours to create. Going through hours of footage from each gig and editing it down to a RUclips video is no small effort! In addition, we are always gigging, working day jobs and living our personal lives as well.....we want to share it all and so we simply months behind from the current time. When you watch your favorite show, do you think they just shot it the prior week? Our RUclips channel isn't dependent on current time, so hopefully you are able to see past this...we can't be the evening news.
@thesoundcouple hi, first of all wasn't meaning to come across rude, was genuinely interested. Thanks for explaining. Love the videos and keep it up. Alway click the notification immediately lol
We appreciate you hanging in there with us!@@pogpogger4381
