Quick question. How are you leaving your settings on the Maui 28 G3’s? Do you leave ‘em on 12 oclock or go beyond that?
@letitdropentАй бұрын
yea I usually have both main and sub at 12 but I've gone up as much as 3 o'clock on both if I feel I need to push them. This video I'm pretty sure it was around 1.

Weddings are rough!! 5 off big ups for doing your best even though you had some gear malfunction. Big lesson learned, bring back up, my brother!!! To me there wasn't a crowd to begin with so to get one person dancing when that many people is awesome. And just like i did people left but at the end of the night people came back and freaking partied. So good job for killing it!!

Yea man thanks for asking, I should do a video going over them in depth. I'd say 150 is pretty reasonable as a limit. Maybe a bit more or less depending on the space. Pretty much any indoor space they have been awesome even up to 5000 square feet. Outside gigs in wider areas are where they kinda fall off I'd say.

@letitdropent I get it. You can't please everyone! Reading a crowd and switching up styles / genres would be my plan. That crowd was not feeling that music! Be "prepared" to adapt. I hate hearing the same droll music that you hear on Top 40 Radio. There's so many good songs out there. Listen to the music and ask yourself, "is this a good dance track". It may be a nice song but is it a good dancable song. Critical listening! Help your clients make their playlist for a party, not a doctor office visit.
@letitdropent2 ай бұрын
@@gsonn18 I think you are trying to help so I appreciate that but you are misreading the crowd from the video. I literally got tipped $50 mid set by a guest because they enjoyed the music I played while also honoring all the unique music personally picked out by the bride and groom.
@bengreenwood17342 ай бұрын
@gsonn18 solid advice but I'm pretty sure he did switch up the genres a LOT. A lot of the go to classics were played which would work normally but sometimes you just don't get the crowd who are gonna go crazy on the dancefloor all night.
@gsonn182 ай бұрын
@@bengreenwood1734 I hear you both! I just hate the Classics and every Wedding Video that I watch plays Classic Shit and it just kills me. I really am trying to be helpful because I've been listening to a lot of music for the past 3 years. I've been putting together sets for Country, Dance, Pop, House, Rock, Hip Hop, R&B, Afrobeat & more. I make sure the tracks are at least a 7 out of 10 or they don't make the cut. I've trained myself to learn to pick tracks based on the genre - you're original/main music foundation mentality has to morph into a different musical understanding. If I happen to watch someones DJ video, I may or may not comment. I may be impressed or I may be dissapointed. My opinion is only my opinion! There are many things (songs) that I don't like that are very popular. I won't tell you I like your set if I don't like your set. Some will impress me - some won't. I'm not easily impressed. I see DJ's on KZfaq that are really good at Scratching. If I put out a Scratching Video, those DJ's would not be impressed! Some might leave a critical reply! When I see a really good DJ, they make me step up my game! I have a high standard so I know that if I impress myself, then I'll be ready. And even if I don't impress the best DJ; as long as I impress myself - no one elses critical opinion will matter. If my comments make someone step up their game then that's good. If it pisses them off then Welcome to Social Media.

Good video man! I have the Maui 28 G3s as well, and this video is really useful to me because i'm a hopeless messy. I'd like, if it is possible, to ask you some questions: during your events, How do you gain stage? I mean, how do you set your trim, master on the mixer and main, sub on the maui 28? How do you deal with the freaking limit light that seems to kick in too early with respect to the maximum headroom this speaker can produce? thank you in advance for you answers and keep up the great work!
@letitdropent3 ай бұрын
Thank you! Glad it could help. I'd like to make another video about gain staging but generally I keep the main and sub knobs at 12 or 3 depending on how loud I need it. I've went to max once at an outdoor event. I live with the limit light, it's ok for it to light up off and on. It's not a limit for clipping but just means the digital limiter plug-in they have built in is in use. The red protect light means you are almost for sure clipping. I usually run my mixer as hot as possible during gain staging so I'm not tempted to creep the volume up louder than intended and run into the protect light. I would see my mixer running red well before the protect light comes on. Hope that helps!
