The life of a wedding DJ is the euphoria of fixing a problem, followed by the wide chasm left in which we quickly fill with another. No peace. 100 adapters.
This was your best and funniest, yet serious at the same time, video I've seen from you. I loved it lmaoooo!! It was funny as hell but so so true! I just bought new DJ furniture which caused me all kinds of new problems that I think I finally have all worked out now. I also just built my own DIY PhtotoBooth which also caused me new problems. I think I have those figured out now too. Thanks for the video. I can so relate bro!
Jeez man what is your budget for new gear? I upgrade my shit after it’s been out for at least a year sometimes 2. Honestly we learn from guys like you. So thanks
🤣🤣 It’s not you… it”s meeee. lol. Same shit different week. You need to have a gear cull and sort out what’s what. The booth BTW you should have kept the Salsa ? (I thought you had) and just got a jackery to power it which could also be used for battery powered gigs where you perhaps need more Juice.
100% agree. I don't buy stuff because it's "new." I buy it because I need something and IT BETTER WORK OUT OF THE BOX!! Apple has us all spoiled... we expect things to work... is that really too much to ask?
This 100% ...and make sure you buy it from a ugly corporate chain store in case the shit doesn't work you can return it. I kept a controller for a month before I decided it was shit and GC gave me a tefund
No need for all the new junk my brother stick with what you like and what you know works. Then improve your workflow or replace the gear with the same stuff when it breaks. Don't fall prey to the RUclips DJs that love to hype everything my brother you are dope DJ and successful business owner! I value you input and advice over the big names. No need for new problems for you man. Heck man, the only thing that brought DJ barr back to RUclips was to make an ad for both 360 tubes lol it's all about pushing more gear
Don’t take it wrong, but these sort of clips are just pure entertainment to us 😂 I always watch your videos but this one is back one of the most hilarious. I feel sorry for your wallet (and Amy) though. 🤪 Keep on ranting! Maybe a new idea: The ranting dj sh*t show, oooh boy, am I waiting for that or what..? 🙌🏻😂
@@AaronStrawn it depends where , who reviews it and where you get the facts. I listened to this jackass DJ vlogger a few years ago about the JBL Eon One Compact and how great they were so I bought 4. They sucked. Low SPL and despite the battery life was decent, the sound wasn't. Buy from like a Guitar Center and try whatever it is once and see if it matches yor expectations. Shit like dj furniture, you are F-ked because you can't return them. Try getting your money back from Danny Max. Shit. Hahahah
I assure you it's not just you. It's always something. I bought a digital mixer. Guess what? It doesn't work with an iPAd. So now I had to buy an android tablet. But the digital mixer I can't even get to play music from the ipad so I have this fancy mixer I was talked in to that is way too complicated and keeps forcing me to buy other things.
Why get New Gear if the Older Gear works? I know, we all like New toy's. I have the same Speakers since 2016. I take good care of my equipment, covers, etc. No Problems. I have been told "Your sound system sounds better than 95% of the parties or Band performances I've been to." In General: Learn how to adjust your Audio properly (Gain Stage) and how to set the proper levels all around, both Inputs and Outputs. The line level standard for professional audio is +4 dBu, which is about 12 dB greater than the consumer line level standard of -10 dBV. The difference between them is actually about 12 dB. Oh, and remember you do not need Club or Concert level Volume. You just need it loud enough so everyone can feel the music on the dance floor, Bar/Restaurant for Bands, but not too loud that Grandma has to turn down her hearing aid or leave her Granchild's event at the catering hall. lol
Lets rant: bought up lights too and wall powered cos i wanted it to be blinding bright. This product said 144w of light output and to have that on LED, ...F.....K thats a lot. But no, only get 50w when maxed out. 🤬🤬 Its a simple solution but i hate when they lie about power capacities.
at some point, ( been a wedding dj since 1995) no one gives a fuck if you got the newest lights or trickiest mixer.play the music,talk and make the fuckers dance.end of story.lol
I feel you. I think us DJ’s naturally always want to be on the forefront of “what’s hot” technology-wise but in reality 99% of most clients/crowds don’t give a shit about that and won’t notice most of the upgrades we make. And sometimes the upgrades can make things “worse” despite being better, like Aaron and his new subs (You don’t need to rattle balls at weddings lol). Don’t forget you don’t always have to buy stuff. If you have a wedding that insists on having some massive sound system you’re likely to need very rarely, look into renting it instead of buying it. Make friends with other DJ’s that have gear you might need at times and work out trades on using each other’s stuff.
Bro, got to take it ez, remember all that Glitters isn’t gold. Sometimes you don’t have to buy all that Gold to satisfy your clients. Honestly your clients can’t tell the difference between what, Lights, Controller or speakers you buy. One question for you if you bought Booth lights or Ape Lab lights does that change what you charge for the event? Most likely not.
Lol going through this atm! Got ape cans from eBay.. oh the batteries are shit! Get multimeter to test batteries! Oh got 4 moving heads! Got the big stands. Oh the bolts to tighten the t bars on the top just felt out and had buy new bolts! Etc etc etc
12 inch subs are enough for weddings. anything bigger will make problems somewhere. also spending more than 3k $ on speakers won't help, cause there will be locations that will even make the 10k speakers sound like shit. Its more about the location than about the speakers. your expectations are too high. people just wanna listen to decent sound. does not need to be high end. they can't even judge the difference. one location had those 18 inch subs. it was sounding great with the right distance to it, however it was hummung the whole room and i was standing right next to it and I couldnt hear anything else than bass that day.
If I said it once I've said it a million times clients do not care what type of equipment you have. They only care if you show up on time, sound good and play the songs they want to hear. Really that is it everything else is just vanity for the DJ. I have in total a $10,000 DJ set up and I sound amazing. I can be rest assured that every time I show up at an event it's going to work. I think we just complicate our lives by getting what they call the latest and greatest. Because a lot of times we find out that yes it's the latest but it's not the greatest. I personally think that some DJs want to always bring the huge club feel to a wedding, if the bride and groom wants that then so be it but it's not right for us to impose that feel if it's not asked of us. I like to use the kiss method, keep it simple stupid it has worked for me for the last 23 years.
I still stand on why new gear cannot be trusted by (10-50k plus subscriber) RUclips vloggers that review them. in mid 2018, Pioneer came out with the DDJ1000. All of them had a hard on for it. That was mid 2018-2020. Now its discontinued. No DDJ1000MKII, just let's trash the thing, we made money on it. "Pioneer DJ DDJ-1000 Pro DJ Controller is discontinued and no longer available for purchase. It was replaced by the Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX10 controller, which is compatible with both Rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro. The DDJ-FLX10 also has the RB-DMX1 lighting interface built into it, allowing users to use Rekordbox Lighting's built-in lighting automation feature with a single DMX cable" So please take their reviews with a grain of salt. I watched and believed one of these idiots and purchased an Alto wireless speaker system. 3 years later and two other units later, that vlogger is using a different brand. I know why, it sucked. I won't get into it but I had to sell it pennies on the dollar on eBay. Shit!
@@oldschooldjernie tbf vloggers could never foresee when a product gets discontinued. Also in these times I wouldn’t expect these companies to be making a piece of gear for longer than 4-5 years. What wireless system did the RUclipsr switch to from Alto?
@@DJ-Coma Sennheiser G4. But to my defense, all of those f-kin vloggers no longer would even consider using a DDJ1000 SRT, just because its old. Most of them have switched out to the Rev 7 and now they are even trading those in for the Rane Performer (just because of the stems) So my theory is 100%. Don't rely on their reviews. have a good weekend Coma.
Been there! Took me 20 years to understand that gear doesn't change shit, i work with evolve 50... they are not perfect.... astera ax1 love them, bunn gear love it but big and heavy but still love it, everse 8 love them, and 24 cheap ass rockville rf6... im trying not to spend money anymore!!!
Lets be honest, being a mobile dj sucks. The gear is expensive and heavy we are always having to upgrade to the newest and greatest. We get no respect, we have to fix our own systems I just want to be a club dj now, I really do. Turn up with your usb drive 10mins before your gig and take the cash and the respect.
They can make Apple standardize their charging cord style citing consumer frustration but they can’t seem do it for DJ speaker power connections? How about speaker output and power measurements…it’s same thing! There are no standards and no one seems to be working to fix it. Oh…and don’t get me started on the bags and casters bullshit!
@@jeremyparker6392I disagree that it’s all about money as to why speaker power connections aren’t “standardized.” They are already standardized since for active speakers you either have IEC or powercon connections. Different use cases for each. For example, companies might use powercon when speakers are intended to be daisy chained together so they can share power without having to use a wall socket plug for each one. The vast majority of active speakers will use IEC. Companies aren’t really using their own proprietary connectors for powering speakers. The Speakon connector that Aaron mentions in the video is a connector for speaker cable (which you could think of as carrying power from an amp and audio signal in one cable) which is designed for passive speakers. You don’t ever want to connect a speaker level cable to an active speaker because it’s going to fuck up your active speaker with all that power from an amp going to it. That’s one really good reason why speakon connectors aren’t used with active speakers, so it’s impossible to make that mistake and ruin an active speaker.
@@DJ-Coma I really don’t want to go around in circles with you since all of this is just hypothetical but power-con really should be the standard and it’s not even about daisy chaining since not all models of speakers have the power-con thru option. If you want to mention the numerous accessories to allow daisy chaining, the same argument could be made for daisy chaining iec connectors and it would actually be cheaper. Again, you don’t have to agree with me. They are just my opinions.
@@jeremyparker6392 I would love if everything was powercon as well, but then the price goes up. IMO we are lucky we only have to deal with IEC OR powercon and don’t have to deal with brands all making their own proprietary connectors. Having only two options is about as good as it can get.
You know you got my respect all day long, but you sometimes chase things for you, that your audience won't necessarily benefit from and your ROI gets grossly out of skew. Practice contentment. Your rig 4 versions ago was just as good for your audience as now. You're the magic..... not your gear. Trust me, i was in that merry go round, jumping off is the shit!
I agree dude- I like shaking it up, keeps me excited to go out and do 60 of these. My rig 5 years ago got me 5 star reviews and happy clients. It's all for me, and besides..what kind of videos can I make if I don't get new shit lol
I'm tired of getting nickel and dimed on everything. Not big $10k gear, but like 50 of these little microtransactions. Music subscriptions, membership fees, premium services... just sucks. In order to recoup the cost, I have to charge more and people get pissed at me. Fuckin A, man!

He wants to place that photobooth in places that have no outlets, like porta potties, outdoor tent venues, parking lots, etc. He can get some Jackery batteries but that will end up costing more. Listening to the "top vloggers" is the reason he has failed. Most of them get paid by the manufacturers or get some restitution, kind of like the politicians in Washington.
@@oldschooldjernieI know that, and I already do this. You don't need 4 batteries, nor do you need battery packs akin to the massively overpriced Jackery.
@@MBrulla Yeah there's financial alternatives to the Jackery. Its not like they cornered the market on "power stations" But if he already went that route I imagine there's a way to plug the sources into a power station and call it a day. I watch your channel as well, keep up the good work though I think viewers are getting sick of seeing wedding vlogs. Peace!
@@oldschooldjernie I don't post any wedding vlogs? And my point was you don't need battery stations like that at all. My iPad booth is fully contained. No outside wires. Locked for drop off rentals.
@@MBrulla MY BAD I MISTAKENLY GOT YOU CONFUSED WITH JUSTIN THE DJ. His photo profile circle kind of looks like yours and he also has a beard. My bad! But in his defense, he uses lights, printers and shit like that perhaps which is a power drain for 6-7 hour wedding receptions.
RCF speakers are garbage, we hired 8 x 15" tops for the last fight night I DJed I had to tune the crap out of them to get them sounding half decent. I was less than impressed with them. Maybe stop going after the latest DJ fads, stop buying gear just find something that works for you and be done with it.
Dude, stop trying to by "name brand" high dollar gear all the time. There are many other choices that would amaze you. For example, I was looking at Evolve 50's for my 100 to 125 people weddings until I heard something not just as loud, but maybe a bit cleaner and clearer... Harbinger MLS 1000. Bought 2 for less than 1 Evolve 50 and have rocked them for a year now up to 150 people so far. Use them4 to 4 times a month. That's just speakers. Def have gotten my monies worth. Look outside the norm...
Jeez man what is your budget for new gear? I upgrade my shit after it’s been out for at least a year sometimes 2. Honestly we learn from guys like you. So thanks

I'm tired of getting nickel and dimed on everything. Not big $10k gear, but like 50 of these little microtransactions. Music subscriptions, membership fees, premium services... just sucks. In order to recoup the cost, I have to charge more and people get pissed at me. Fuckin A, man!
Same dude, I'm done with monthly subs
Sooooo true
Stop trying to copy other djs with the expensive gear
RCF EVOX 12s
Ape labs XL sticks and maxi 2.0 uplights
Humpter Table
Apple laptop
Pioneer DDJ SZ
EV RE3 ND96 WIRELESS MIC
Ceremony
EV 50
Sennheiser G4 body pack
Laptop and mixer
Good to go. lol
Oh… and cologne. 10-14 sprays. Keep it simple.
Thats the reality haha
Appreciate what you have. That’s the problem. I do the same… but I’m cooler than you.
We know it!
Super funny.
Thanks!
Bro most of it just lack of due diligence and sometimes expectations are too high. Cut the subs under 40Hz and older people will love you a bit more :) *Or not if they sit in the corner))
True that- I'm a dummy some times and jump in head first- I still would like a little heads up on some of these! lol-
This is hilarious.
Do you know how you avoid problems? You research.
Why are you running four batteries for your photo booth?
He wants to place that photobooth in places that have no outlets, like porta potties, outdoor tent venues, parking lots, etc. He can get some Jackery batteries but that will end up costing more. Listening to the "top vloggers" is the reason he has failed. Most of them get paid by the manufacturers or get some restitution, kind of like the politicians in Washington.
@@oldschooldjernieI know that, and I already do this. You don't need 4 batteries, nor do you need battery packs akin to the massively overpriced Jackery.
@@MBrulla Yeah there's financial alternatives to the Jackery. Its not like they cornered the market on "power stations" But if he already went that route I imagine there's a way to plug the sources into a power station and call it a day. I watch your channel as well, keep up the good work though I think viewers are getting sick of seeing wedding vlogs. Peace!
@@oldschooldjernie I don't post any wedding vlogs? And my point was you don't need battery stations like that at all. My iPad booth is fully contained. No outside wires. Locked for drop off rentals.
@@MBrulla MY BAD I MISTAKENLY GOT YOU CONFUSED WITH JUSTIN THE DJ. His photo profile circle kind of looks like yours and he also has a beard. My bad! But in his defense, he uses lights, printers and shit like that perhaps which is a power drain for 6-7 hour wedding receptions.
RCF speakers are garbage, we hired 8 x 15" tops for the last fight night I DJed I had to tune the crap out of them to get them sounding half decent. I was less than impressed with them. Maybe stop going after the latest DJ fads, stop buying gear just find something that works for you and be done with it.
Dude, stop trying to by "name brand" high dollar gear all the time. There are many other choices that would amaze you. For example, I was looking at Evolve 50's for my 100 to 125 people weddings until I heard something not just as loud, but maybe a bit cleaner and clearer... Harbinger MLS 1000. Bought 2 for less than 1 Evolve 50 and have rocked them for a year now up to 150 people so far. Use them4 to 4 times a month. That's just speakers. Def have gotten my monies worth. Look outside the norm...
You have too much money problems lol!
Maybe I need a new hobby lol
Propz from Germany
What an expensive hobby.......we should have all just started collecting stamps or coins instead lol
For reallllll
Its definitely you bro! You're an impulsive buyer. Stop buying shit just because people are talking. Lol
Blah blah blah
Lol but true
Jeez man what is your budget for new gear? I upgrade my shit after it’s been out for at least a year sometimes 2. Honestly we learn from guys like you. So thanks
