0:01 In the Marine Hotel today

Alright, in the Marine Hotel today. We've had a wedding of, I think it's about 70 odd people. Quite a small setup today. Got the Cardioil 12s and QSC, also got the K8s, so a nice compact setup. Neat and tidy. Let's have a look around the other side. We've got the Derby 9 DMX, they are from Nova Pro. And we've got the Party Bar 100 DMX from Nova Pro as well. And under there I've got the Gobo Sphere. So I know it's the sort of effect that normally you'd have at the front but I like it there because it gives a good kind of effect against that screen. We've got the LaserPath VR from Nova Pro. And I'm using VirtualDJ, we've got the XDJ-RX. Let's have a look. There you go. Nice kind of effect there. So it's 70 people tonight. It could be a bit of a tough evening because the trouble is with this venue is you've got a bar there and through that door there's

2:01 You've always got to give of your best, period

Quite a lot of area behind there. Now, there's a lot of things that are not to my advantage tonight. One being not many people. Number two being the bar is through there, which means that, you know, again, weddings are a long day. You know, it's not like an 18th or 21st where you get up mid-afternoon, go out and party till three. No, people have been up since five o'clock getting ready, so even by now they're knackered. Also, it's a really nice sunny evening so people are more likely to be outside for longer. Not many people as well, but we shall see, you know, as any professional DJ should do. It doesn't matter whether you're playing to one person, literally one person, or a hundred or a thousand. You've always got to give of your best, period. That is it. I've got the K8s set to external sub.

I've got them, actually I'll put those to 0 dB. I've done that with the cardioil as well. I'm just going to turn that one to 0 dB and external sub. The Party Bar DMX 100, I've got that positioned. I've got to position it a little bit better but the idea is to fill the room with light so the lights aren't positioned directly on the dance floor they're just positioned sort of against the ceiling and the walls. Thank you for watching.
