Mobile DJ? Turn the vol down & let us know what happens!

0:01 This is an email from a guy called Steve B

Alright folks, Jonathan here, just come back from Brittany and I've got the most wonderful thing in the world. That is called a crap. And I'll tell you what, there's nothing like having a nice crap in the morning. Right. Okay, got an email here that I think is very important and also we're going to do an experiment the first time ever and you're going to be a part of it, alright? Seriously. Right, this is an email from a guy called Steve B. Right, basically what it's all about is that DJs this day and age, mobile DJs, are completely obsessed with the light show. The light show's got to be fantastic! But the reason I'm doing this video is that he's got a damn good point here. What you do find is a lot of people will complain about the noise if the music is too loud. In other words, sometimes people do whinge, oh it was noisy at the function and the DJ was too loud and my goodness. How often do we actually hear about that? People say, the lights were fantastic. OK, you may be contradicting me now because you may have had people say, great light show. Fair enough. I want you to do this.

1:13 I want you to turn it down, say, a third of the normal volume

First of all, are you a DJ that likes to turn it up to, say, number 11 from 1 to 10? Or maybe even 14 or 15. Have it booming. This is what I want you to do. I want you to turn it down, say, a third of the normal volume. Even if, let's say, you're in a huge dance sort of night. Well, no, forget that. No, just mobile. Sorry. Right. My life, see? Crazy. Right, so you're in... Oh dear, it's amazing talking to a camera. Right. You are at your mobile function and slowly during the course of the evening you turn the music up higher and higher and higher. Well, instead of going like this, keep it to a relatively audible level. In other words, don't put it to normal level, bring it down a tad for one gig and see what happens. We want to hear...

2:11 What happened at your gig?

What happened at your gig? Did the people say it was still too noisy or did they walk away thinking that was pretty good? Because quite often, here's a fact here, if the music is too loud what happens is your ears start to all of a sudden not necessarily close up but your ears sort of say no too much noise too much noise. And they start, all of a sudden, reducing the volume themselves to try and protect themselves. So in a sense, the more you turn it up, the more your ears are going to start to turn it down, but that's not really the case. The main case is, of course, if it's turned up too much, you could end up knacking your hearing and get this... It's called tinnitus, and believe me, it does make strange, strange sounds. So the whole reason behind this video is at your next function, your mobile function, turn your...

All that for about a sentence. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
