Dont stress with the cold, im from canada and it goe down to -30°c sometime here and my equipement stay in my cargo trailer 365/365days. 1hour at warm tempeture and everything is find! Think about a car speaker and headunit stereo... its always at the outside tempeture and it works find!! ;) keep up your great vlog!!
That was a tough crowd, I am certain they where the working class bunch of people that don't go to clubs, just maybe a bar scene to have fun, playing music on a juke box. you did pretty good.
Moving sucks man, I feel your concerns. I have moved towns myself and I basicaly have to start advertising my DJ business all over again. Its not fun, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Sup Ricky. I enjoy watching your gig videos brotha. I’m in the game myself so I like to see other successful dj’s on how the work. I’ve learned a lot from you and barr. Keep it up bro I like the energy you carry along with your work. By the way where did your shoes go at the end of this vlog lol. Looked like your were breaking down in your socks?!?
Please do a video on power cords or power strips or extension cords and how you distribute power to your equipment based on watts or amps. Do you plug your speakers , lights and dj console to seperate main sockets? Please do a video on that
Don’t worry bro I leave my gear in the back of my truck from time to time after gigs..... I live in so cal in a nice area but it’s not an excuse (too tired) lol anyhow how do you like the jbl ‘s...... better than or comparable to ev’s????.....
we have our equipment in the trailer 2 days before the gig. and we never have a problem... also when we give it power when it just got out of the trailer form around 0 degrees. (feherinhite)
+kaggez not the best idea. Just due to condensation and the shrinking and expanding of the wooden speaker box. But if you been doing it and don't seem to have a problem go for it.
Hey DjWeb how is everything going. what you think is a good inexpensive sure mix system. Dj Bar states that a $500.00 system is not good, your thoughts. Posh use a $ 1400 system. FYI like your setups.
DJ Rick Web no what I meant to say was you can run a feed from your mixer booth out to your camera for better audio when your filming the dance portion of you videos
+DJ SINRG yes I could. But RUclips is really big on taking down videos with copy right music. I would have to take my mixing clips down to about 8 seconds a piece. Which isn't much to show a transition.
@@lightlove3373 lol we have too many as it is, thankfully the wedding market is relatively unchallenged. Averaging around 2000usd per wedding and around 1200 for private and 500 for bar gigs.
Hey Rick, I'm planning on getting the JBL PRX818XLFW subwoofers and I wanted to have your opinion on them. Do they clip too early, are they heavy hitting, can 1 be used in a medium sized venue, and can they be used at 75-80% volume for at least 4-6 hours? Like always your advice would be a great help.
+Sodium Hypochlorite I really like heavy bass impact in my sound aka why I run them so hard. My vrx subs are the only subs I have bought where running them about 75 80 % sounds like enough bass. Lol
First of all. Rick i love the way you make these video's and you wont hear me say a bad thing about that. But I do think that your music hasn't evolves with you 😅 I havn't counted but I think thst in atleast 60% of your gig logs you play yeah 😅 I'm not here to bash you this is just some criticism from me to you 😅 Good luck on the move tho
Hey Dj rick web, I have been watching your videos for a long time, and attended alot of venues in my time as well, I noticed with smaller groups or weddings, it is the same Generic Music played over and over and over, and it does not even matter on the dj, The amount of old school lil jon, and ymca i hear is just insane, i want to shoot myself when i hear anyone play something from 2010 and below. Why are there these few tracks, surly you must know what im talking about, I hear them in a few of your vlogs, i understand that they are well known tracks. but like comon, shouldnt they be dead by now..?
+Nukdeep Records no because there isn't much new popular music that is in that bpm range. And also it's a generation's thing. Studies have been done that people like the music from there high school and college years more than anything else. So right now most weddings are people that just got out of college maybe 6 to 12 years ago. Aka 2010 era.
Nukdeep Records I'm not Rick. There are songs that just work and you play them cause you may only play one song from an artist or band. Most of the time the popular tune gets airtime. I play a set group of song at almost every gig. And why, because they get people dancing.

Dont stress with the cold, im from canada and it goe down to -30°c sometime here and my equipement stay in my cargo trailer 365/365days. 1hour at warm tempeture and everything is find! Think about a car speaker and headunit stereo... its always at the outside tempeture and it works find!! ;) keep up your great vlog!!
As a cdn tech, and audio guy... agreed. 1 hour.
That Pro Event Table looks really good with this setup. Glad you made it work.
+Jose Heredia wait til I put up some footage of it with my custom sign. It looks even better.
That was a tough crowd, I am certain they where the working class bunch of people that don't go to clubs, just maybe a bar scene to have fun, playing music on a juke box. you did pretty good.
Awesome Set up considering you are doing on your own! Impressive! Good luck in your move to Adulthood in NC...
Moving sucks man, I feel your concerns. I have moved towns myself and I basicaly have to start advertising my DJ business all over again. Its not fun, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
What a progress in setup in 4 years! Awesome! Big thumbs up! From Russia🇷🇺!!!!
Im watching from concord Nc i learned a lot from your videos and i been djing at my friends partys and family partys for about a year thank u
+Narciso Quintin welcome
No problem leaving speakers over night great tip not powering up for a few hours Rick :)
Another one bites the dust, scary becoming an adult :). Good luck with the move and a new house awesome.
Great gig, It's a corporate party so you did your thing and got them out there. Good luck on the move brother. It will be an exciting time.
Yo I'm about to do a company gig I was thinkng the same thing about throwing some line dances songs in the mix to get them moving. Great job.
nice job.....thanks Rick....good luck with your move.
I love the set up alot
Sup Ricky. I enjoy watching your gig videos brotha. I’m in the game myself so I like to see other successful dj’s on how the work. I’ve learned a lot from you and barr. Keep it up bro I like the energy you carry along with your work. By the way where did your shoes go at the end of this vlog lol. Looked like your were breaking down in your socks?!?
I might have been. It's easier on the feet.
Nice set up, really liking that built-in case how everything is so clean, best of luck when you move to NC
+Iosefa Tito thanks
Your rig is goals ! Good stuff man
Please do a video on power cords or power strips or extension cords and how you distribute power to your equipment based on watts or amps. Do you plug your speakers , lights and dj console to seperate main sockets? Please do a video on that
+Prog zia will do. Waiting til I get around to buying my new heavy duty cords
DJ Rick Web thank you so much. It will be very helpful for beginners
Dude u are awesome.. ur off the chain.keep it Rollin..
Good set up.
Awesome mixing
Don’t worry bro I leave my gear in the back of my truck from time to time after gigs..... I live in so cal in a nice area but it’s not an excuse (too tired) lol anyhow how do you like the jbl ‘s...... better than or comparable to ev’s????.....
Very comparable to etx
Finally you're playing some Wham!
we have our equipment in the trailer 2 days before the gig. and we never have a problem... also when we give it power when it just got out of the trailer form around 0 degrees. (feherinhite)
+kaggez not the best idea. Just due to condensation and the shrinking and expanding of the wooden speaker box. But if you been doing it and don't seem to have a problem go for it.
all our movingheads pcb's have been coated with underwater protection. and all the bulbs are made for the temp changes.
The event table corner shelves would be ideal for your laptop!
+RCD Events (TheRCSChannel) or use the global truss laptop stand that attaches to the table
Yo DUDEEEE I was gigging a bank christmas party the 15th also!
Not too far from Greensboro. Maybe we can link up when you get here.
+DJ JB for sure
Nice setup
Nice man! looked like they had fun!
That event table is on my wishlist so i need it lol
bro is it me or is your camera acting up a bit?
+DJ Brandon It's the florescent lighting in this venue does it every time I go there
DJ Brandon Yo Brandon you should like fully get that DJ Stand broham! 🎧🍒
What program do you use for running the lights
Hey rick, wanted to ask how long do u play line dances for. Like the whole song or half of the songs . One line dance like the chacha slide???
+nikhil sharma 3/4 song norm depends on the crowd.
good video a question for how many people can you use that set of speakers? Thank you
This setup I take it up to 300 kids at a school dance or 400 at a wedding.
Nice North Carolina is Nice broo !
Hey DjWeb how is everything going. what you think is a good inexpensive sure mix system. Dj Bar states that a $500.00 system is not good, your thoughts. Posh use a $ 1400 system. FYI like your setups.
What systems? Sure mix?
DJ Rick Web Sorry I mate sure mic system.
I use audiotechnica. Shure is overpriced.
What car do you use to take all that? Or do you already use a trailer?
At the point of that gig it was just my GMC seira pickup with a cover on the bed. Now I have a new tacoma and a 12ft long trailer
Buen trabajo, saludos.
If you ever need anything audio wise when you get to N.C look me up, Mcgees Crossroads Productions
thumbs up bro
Hi DJ ! I like your vidéos ;)
Dopee!!!💯💯💯🎵🎵🎵
Congratulations on moving and getting your shxt together!
❤
Dumb question brotha, but I totally forgot the name of the song at 7:22 ish. Please someone tell me the name? Lol
Shame on you. "Crazy in Love."
How did the Mics do for ya?
+John Haines pretty good.
Why did you put the subs underneath the speakers and not in the center?
Cus I didnt need the output of center fill subs. And they were over 25ft apart meaning there is little to no phase issues.
@@DJRickWeb thanks man, I recently saw the video of the gig with 4 subs in the center, cool stuff, keep up the good work.
why didn’t you back the truck in the garage?
+Nudgy I don't have a garage on campus.
Hey rick greats vid man, if you could can you jack your audio into the camera for better audio ?
+DJ SINRG nope. No external mic jack
DJ Rick Web no what I meant to say was you can run a feed from your mixer booth out to your camera for better audio when your filming the dance portion of you videos
+DJ SINRG yes I could. But RUclips is really big on taking down videos with copy right music. I would have to take my mixing clips down to about 8 seconds a piece. Which isn't much to show a transition.
You should move to my island. We could dominate the wedding scene here (Cayman Islands)
You need more than 1 dj on an island?😂 ❤
@@lightlove3373 lol we have too many as it is, thankfully the wedding market is relatively unchallenged. Averaging around 2000usd per wedding and around 1200 for private and 500 for bar gigs.
@@jasonrankin9515 well damn, the fuck am I doing on the mainland??!😂
@@lightlove3373 paying taxes? 🤷♂️ we don't have that shit either 😂

I live in North Carolina
Dope I have been in NC for a month now

+Sodium Hypochlorite they are very powerful. And should work for that. I run mine at peak 99% for hours on end. Done 8 hour events.
DJ Rick Web Wow that's more than I'm planning on pushing but thanks for the answer. Great videos as always.
+Sodium Hypochlorite I really like heavy bass impact in my sound aka why I run them so hard. My vrx subs are the only subs I have bought where running them about 75 80 % sounds like enough bass. Lol
DJ Rick Web lol I was just about to ask you why you run the JBL sub to 99% I though they didn't hit
What kind of truck are you looking st
+Tommy Bianco Tacoma.
Where is your laptop 💻 sitting
I think it was on the case laptop arm
Party atmosphere seems dead compared to out here in WC.
What do you think about that phenyx mic
+Deavalo pretty good
First of all. Rick i love the way you make these video's and you wont hear me say a bad thing about that.
But I do think that your music hasn't evolves with you 😅
I havn't counted but I think thst in atleast 60% of your gig logs you play yeah 😅
I'm not here to bash you this is just some criticism from me to you 😅
Good luck on the move tho
We’re can I get the tricky into ymca song
+josephmobilediscos+vlogs that wasn't a song that was me mixing. The YMCA was a redrum into version though.
Full time adult LMAO, welcome to adulting, it sucks sometimes but its not all that bad!
work your biz bro

I personally can't stand it either. But a dj has to play to his crowd
That Phoenix mic doesn't sound good 😭 not much clarity and way too much low end
+jonathon lesko you know that personally. Or are you judging based on the audio from the video
FIRST
You should get a dually truck
+OG TWOTONE nah. Not when I need to be able to also have good mpg.
DJ Rick Web not what you need at all unless you're towing a huge trailer. A v6 would be able to pull a small dj trailer no problem
+jonathon lesko exactly. In NC a lot of weddings travel to the beach which is about 2 hours away. So v6 Is required
Not to mention how expensive it is to own a dually. At that point, I'd get a nice trailer and a new v6 with some beefed up tires. Call it a day.
