Gig log, using svm-1000 July 2009

0:00 It is the sort of, well it's early July 2009 and it's raining!

Right folks, another gig log. It is the sort of, well it's early July 2009 and it's raining! It's wonderful, it's that sort of time of year when it just pisses down. Well, right today I'm doing an 18th birthday party in the football club again and I'm taking the SVM and the video screen and a couple of the Xmove LEDs and A power bar from Cam, that's it. Very simple lighting. The whole idea is to emphasise more on the video as opposed to the lighting and we'll see what happens. They specifically asked for the video as well so they're slowly getting there. People seem to know what's going on now. So I'll pause the camera and we'll have a look at the setup once it's all set up. And of course we'll do a bit of video footage during the course of the evening, but it is quite difficult to do a lot of video footage because it takes a lot of time to sort of put all the sets together, or the set together as it were, and you spend most of your time just trying to find tracks. You haven't really got time to do loads of videoing and stuff. There you go. Right. It's a screen. How many people are at the moment? So turn it up as more people turn up.

1:41 Just keep it nice and mellow

If you have it turned up too loud at this point, people are going to get really pissed off. So just keep it nice and mellow. When you're mixing or when you're just using the sound, so of course you're continually trying to find the tracks. Also, almost like a complete new library of music but on DVD. You know, when you have your normal CDs, your in-the-mill CDs, you know near enough where tracks are. But all of a sudden you get Bosch, you get all these DVDs and you've just got to find stuff. And it is very difficult, it's exceedingly time consuming and it's nerve-wracking, you know, your mind is on the go all the time. Again, I hope to be able to do more footage in the near future when I'm using the SVM and I'm going to try a better, not camera sorry, a better projector because this one I've got is rather archaic and...

Towards the latter part of the evening, it stopped working. Hopefully, it just sort of cut out because I got two watts. But it's about the size of a bus. As you get the size of a postage stamp, they've got like five gazillion looms. This one, the size of a bus, is a one candle. Anyway, so a bit of fun, but thanks for watching. Don't forget, if you're a mobile DJ, let's see your gig logs as well. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
