Hi Brian, DJ Ernie G gave me your RUclips. I had a stroke 2 years ago, I haven't been able to DJ or Karaoke. I started DJ in 1987 and still love it, but I can't talk over the microphone or at all, I have something called aphasia. It's common when having a stroke, so I can't MC anymore I can't sing any more karaoke, and I can't remember the song title nor the lyrics. I am inspired by you and your struggle You are going. I will watch all of your videos and it will inspire me to keep DJing. Thank you for putting these videos.
I’ve been a DJ since 1988. My preference of equipment has came from the people, such as yourself Brian, I follow on RUclips. Has helped me considerably for the last 10 years. Thank you.
I'm still rockin' a passive system and it sounds great. I can care less what other djs think, the newer amps are just about as light as my laptop . Peace!
I agree as there is also a lot of brand snobs out there as well. You have to use a certain brand if not you are not a pro. I am a producer and laser artist and see this a lot. But after my shows it's wow that looked amazing.
Having retired from being a dj 10 years ago , I’m now doing videos on my phone and laptop , I do use Beatport which I think is great ! I will be getting just the ddj200 in a few weeks as I do miss having more control
I have a very old Mac, LD icoa speakers, a mackie mixer and I’m good. I’ve been to receptions where the dj had “high end” RCF speakers, the latest Mac, expensive uplighting …but the DJ couldn’t read the crowd, had his speakers at painful levels, never spoke on the mic… I’ve always felt being a good dj starts with musical knowledge, interact with the guest without being annoying and most of all just be in the moment 👍🏼 Great input Brian, I appreciate your RUclips channel 🙏🏼
I hear Turntable DJ’s constantly speaking down to modern DJ’s who use controllers, I’ve used both and there’s even more transition options with modern technology. The crowd never notice at the end of the day. Picking good music is 90% of it
Nice advice! I'm happy with the Numark Mixstream Pro Go, it's was the right choice for me. No subscription with Engine DJ and like you said your music/experience and their experience. Thank you for sharing this info.
Im a pc guy with a hp spectre that suits my needs, i have serato, vdj and rekird box and use it as i need it. What matter us my sound and lighting is great, my mixing is spit on and my programming suits my customers i play for my customers not other djays
I love the video today Bossman I always love that you always talk to other people in a people person kind of way. I've been following you for a long time and you always make great videos. so please keep up the good work
That is one thing I don't worry about what other DJ's think about what gear I am using because I have been around to long for that kind of mess. Now I do agree you shouldn't go too cheap on audio gear like Speakers, XLR cables & Wireless Mic Systems, and some Lighting as you get what you pay for. One point Brian made was the knowledge of what music to play and when to play it at the party. I will add the Entertainment you provide to your clients party that matters too and be yourself. My last take away is Quit being a Gear Snob and be a Pro DJ with what gear you have also have fun while making $$$!
Right on the button mate, there is definitely a ‘snobbiness’ in the business and it can be a pain in the butt, especially when at a gig and trying to do the all important thing, and the reason why you have been hired to be there, which is entertaining the guests and assisting in making the event as memorable as can be. You get some guy (normally) swan over to check out your gear, peer over your DJ booth, because he wants to know what’s making the party rock in the way it is, why it sounds so good and everybody is rating the DJ. They see what you are using, then they ‘interpret’ your flow, to let you know they are also a DJ and they use ‘x,y and z’ controller (because it’s newer and more expensive than yours), what software (I find it’s mainly Serato users, as that’s where the ‘cred’ is - I am not a Serato user by default)….I’m sure you get the drift as we have all been there. Of course we love to talk about the kit, what we do, how we learn, how awesome the gig was etc; I’m a (youngish looking and behaving 😂) 60 year old and been DJaying since I was 13 (that was in the dawn of the mobile DJ days) so I get all of that (I will tech talk with you all day long). There was no Pioneer, Denon, Numark DJ equipment as we know know; no digital music invented (pure vinyl followed by cd’s in the 80’s); we made our amps, speaker boxes, cables all from local talent, and honed our skills on Garrard turntables. All from pocket money and a ‘wage’ from doing the paper round! I am the last guy to get snobby with. Mind you, I love how things have evolved and I have kept up with it as much as I can. I love my P4, MSP, XZ (and all the others in between since at school in the late 70’s - nothing I ain’t seen or been a part of.. I still get plenty of gigs (okay, I don’t do festivals as I know my limitations), but I have my crowd and even my grand kids think I’m a (little bit) cool. Keep things in perspective, respect the art which we, in our own way, work hard to hone, buy what we can or want to, or just need, and be respected for it.
Hey Brian good video. I am an amateur and use a windows laptop without issue. You will have issues if you purchase use an underpowered under spec'ed machine. Also I like the software he is talking about. Cough cough virtual DJ. My controller is a ADJ 2000 and Gemini G4V speakers are ADJ 15's, and or 8" Lyxpro's with a Rockville 18" and a Carver amp. But it works and they fill a large cafeteria no problem. But your music and audience awareness is way way more inportant.
I'm still using Virtual DJ 7, I find it's the best for video files, it plays every type. Serato used to be terrible for video, hopefully it's improved.
A long while back I spotted a DJ with the just out Technics SL-DZ1200 CD players in a late bar so I hung around expecting to learn something. They had no idea how to lash a couple of tunes together. The DJ's that impress me can pick up any old gear and do a gig.
The biggest thing we forget as DJs is our audience is not "seeing" the music like we do. When we think of DJing we see the software, the wave forms, the hot cue colors, controllers, etc. Therefore if our mix is off but a touch, don't loop something just right, use a different VDJ skin etc then its a huge deal for us but not for the audience. They just hear the music and see their friends, family and your setup. To your point they are tools or like a car...when you get in an Uber it doesn't matter if it's a V8, V6 etc, as long as they don't show up on a moped it's the same experience, point a to point b.
I use a laptop and a mixer not a controller people seem to think I need to use a controller and I should mix that’s not the case I’m more of an interactive DJ Than a club DJ I do weddings
Here's my theory: DJ gear snobbery is basically a man thing. An insecure man thing. Keep up the good work spreading the true word about what it all should be about, Brian. If what I use & what I do makes my customers happy then that's good enough for me.
What type of laptop or MacBook a DJ uses matters. I've made the mistake of buying one below specs and I am sure many other DJs have too. I thought I was getting top of the line stuff when I spent $800 on a Laptop but, it was more like a $800 headache. Then everyone sees the sales at Best Buy to get a $300 something laptop and that's a mistake to buy. Virtual DJ is probably what you are talking about. Every DJ has their preference. I bought Serato with everything inluclude at 50% on Black Friday one time. Most DJs love it. It's a preference. Most DJs don't want to spend the money on Virtual DJ. Poor Phil just recently pleaded for Virtual DJ to change their name because it didn't sound professional. He will get a lot of backlash from that. I am surprised he didn't ask Serato to change their name. If you look up what Google picks up in the search that Serato is slang for and believe the definition you then you might get a laugh.
honestly, i prefer desktops over laptops. you get more power, the ability to upgrade, better reliability and repairs are easier. you can also find desktops way cheaper than laptops. if you use several different USB devices, you can just get a PCI card that has as many usb cables as you need, you can get a graphics card that has multiple video outputs if youre doing video, you can still have a dvd drive if someone wants to play a video, that can output to any and all displays that you want, too. and honestly, for those building furniture instead of using a facade and table, you could just build the computer into the furniture piece, along with a mouse and keyboard and you can run as many or as few storage drives as you want, and all you might have to do is move a monitor for transportation, which at this point, weighs almost the same as a laptop now and you can use the screen size you want
@@masterbond9 Yes. Yes. Yes. And Yes. Plus you can install a liquid CPU cooler if you need one. Laptops will only overheat more and more because they are using more power and only getting thinner with every new generation. Ultra thin laptops are like George Floyd. Desktops dissipates heat so much better. I've seen videos of those custom built PC furniture, they are SAWEET and classy. My DJ PC is a NUC mini PC, it looks like a brick and it breathes nicely. It boots Mac OS and Windows. But since my rig is hybrid DJ/Live/Video, I prefer Mac OS for many reasons. Windows is every limited to just DJ software.
@@masterbond9 oh, and since DJ software started having the stems feature, a strong GPU is a must. GPUs are crazy expensive. With desktops, you can easily swap out the GPU for a strong one that you can afford, and just upgrade whenever you can afford the latest and greatest. You can't do that with a laptop.
@@jackmercer4244 yea, im slowly getting away from laptops, i put a computer into an xbox 360. it has 16 gigs of DDR4 ram and a ryzen 5600G, probably the best AM4 APU on the market. its not my main computer, but it is my laptop replacement. it didnt take me long to do, but as i built it as a fun little project and didnt think about future upgrades, i may have to rebuild it soon. I dont see myself as a mobile or a club DJ. i want to stick with the VR club scene. i have a few leads who are ready to give me a slot when im ready, and a few other dj friends, but yea, the DJ furniture trend is definitely so much nicer than the folding table and curtain facade. its much cleaner, and a lot easier to teardown. if i did do more mobile gigs, i would definitely be considering building furniture for myself, and i would 100% be looking at how i can just put a desktop motherboard into it. i dont think it would be that hard to do either. now that i think of it though, depending on how someone plays, even in a hybrid setup, you could probably build a pretty sweet DIY all in one unit into a flight case. it would be a huge undertaking, but if youre into the DIY stuff, i think it would be a lot of fun...
Brian and / or others who comment. I was wondering if I could get your opinions on a gig I have next summer. First I'll say I still run passive speakers. Ev Zx5 600W continuous/2400W peak. I do also have the Ev Zlx powered 15. Here is my delima, I have an outdoor wedding/ reception next summer. The guests will be hundreds or more. I am considering buying the Ev Etx 15s with sub all powered. Your video I feel kinda deals with this. I've know I could get use out of those speakers with other weddings and such. I'm just not sure if that's the route I should take but I feel I'm going to need more than what I currently have?
*My entire Career has been me getting raided by Gear snobs and i even lost Clients a multitude of times due to Gear i can't afford being in the hands of other or lesser skilled Dj's but that is life we move on however we can rant about it every now and again*
Customers don't care about what type of gear you got what type of equipment that's running they just want to have a good time with some great music so the people that be having these surveys and about gear really uncomfortable in their skin and they want to have the best and it's a competition thing you already know that
The customer & the DJ will care when that cheap gear fails at an event. Been there done that and I swore, never again. Not having cheap gear is a selling point. Its to help insure the client that we have reliable equipment.
I've seen similar posts for literally decades on that software's forum. It even went so far as to asking for skins that resemble another software. Let. It. Go.
Perhaps not, but you'll always find some tosser who will look down upon injection-moulded ABS speakers, no matter how high-end they may be, because they're not "proper wood".
I started with Serato, I found it to be frustrating to use and I hated their online help. I tried VDJ and found it to be easy to use and customize to my liking. The online manuals and guides and the community have been excellent, so that's what I use and it works flawlessly. But I'm told that Serato is the "professional" choice because.....I don't know....maybe because it doesn't have an Automix feature or the word 'Virtual'? Seriously? I don't get it. I'm still pretty new to DJing so maybe this will make sense later. I'm just want to use what works for me.
When you give any credence to the verbal vomit of others with ZERO evidence of their experience, talent, skills or ethics...you are the problem. Whenever I hear "You not a real dj..." my ears go off line. P.S. In the "old days' there were just as many opinions and a-holes with them as there is today...and today many have podcasts, opinion videos...etc.
You also need talent which theses snobs lack. So they need to trashtalk, BS and complain of something that doesn't matter. It is all about jealousy and competition
They talk a load of bull, they want to learn about music structures and how to use a microphone especially if they are a mobile wedding/bar DJ that is just my personal opinion.
That’s so so True, I see so many DJ’s here on RUclips saying that B.S. about having certain equipment and if you don’t have it don’t consider yourself a professional Controllers are the prime example you have entry level then entry to mid level then Mid level then the Professional Controllers. I’ve seen DJ’s, doing gigs with out a controller and they were getting paid top dollar. All that Glitters isn’t gold, a DJ is a person selling themselves, their experience and knowledge of music. The #1 thing to be a Great DJ is to be Kind, and outgoing, those 3 things to be will take you further in your DJ life then the most expensive controller or let me say the most expensive piece of equipment!! You knocked it out of the ballpark with this video @briansredd
The main thing to have is, "music knowledge " and playing the right music at the right time.
Exactly. Everything else is second
My 14 year old CDJ 350s & 27 year old DJM 500 appreciate YOU and this video!
my 28 year old RCF speakers appreciate not giving a shit what people think
I also believe that it all starts with the quality of the audio file that’s played.
Great vid! 👌

If you can still spin, you might want to get a partner to be the MC and have some fun. Best wishes.
Dj Gear Snobs. I don't want to name any names but Tyler Wallace, Aarron Strawn, DJ Rachel and Jason Jani may be a few.

I never even needed a mic lol
