As a long time DJ who wants to step out and start doing party’s I love your content. Your lights and set up are so simple yet so so affective. Thank you for doing what you do?
Great video! I didn’t know about anti-fatigue mats or SmartSwitch, awesome stuff/setup! 💯👏 Ages ago lighting was wired/heavy… lugging w/crates of records... whoa. You mentioned caching Tidal tracks… sounds wise, the only way to go. If I were using streaming, I’d cache, stay offline during an event to avoid streaming service bugs, auto-cache-clearing, or DRM outages. Tidal had a New Years outage affecting some DJs… I’m guessing, if those DJs had followed your steps, caching, staying offline, they would have been able to play through the outage, avoid any headaches. My initial comment was too long… forgive… your vid discussing latest tech enlightened… I even read up on Tidal... so thank you… and much success in 2025!
The black and white looks great and fit in perfectly. Also, I’ve been doing the same thing with my both IR4s - having everything battery powered and not having to run a cable is such an underrated improvement!!
Thanks Shay!! Yes. I'm done with running any kind of power cords or dmx dongles for lights now. My next purchase (if I decide to purchase any more lights) will be the Both battery powered, wireless dmx moving heads.
Nice setup and I'm glad you are in at 810 Ranch!!!! i've been leaving my wash fx2s at home (just using for weddings) and bringing out my Chauvet 4 panel....alot quicker setup and tear down especially if it's just a basic birthday party....Plus the RF4s come with me as well.....
I hear you bro! Being a solo op, that set up and tear down at the end of the night can be exhausting after a long gig day. In 2025, I want to keep it as simple and fast as possible for myself.
Looked great. I run all both wireless lights. Will be adding the battery operated movers soon. I have the control one, but I use the soundswitch in my prime go and prime4. I too use the facade for clean look and quick setup. Control booths have a use, I agree just not on every event. I even use my rockville to go trust as a mixer stand for my prime go on small sound events it looks great. Ill use my white scrim with an uplight inside, they love the look. Keep em dancing!
Appreciation for your full transparency brother. Very informative. You get right to the point and give a real practical view point. 👍🏾👍🏾 Q. What facade is it you're using (and also the headphones 😁)?
Thanks!! It's the Rockville 6 panel facade. I only use either 4 or 5 panels though. I use the JLab Audio Studio Headphones. They are around $20 at the store but around $13 if ordered online. I tried them as an emergency replacement pair in 2020 and loved them so much, I never looked back.
Awesome Setup!! I'm Glad Everyone Had fun and Enjoyed you as Their DJ. I'm Sorry about the Problem you had with Tidal I had a Problem with Tidal on New Years Eve where the Service went completely Down Goes To show You Can't Rely on Streaming Services like Tidal %100
Good stuff. For a potential client to give 160 some odd songs, should we ask “Why do you want a DJ?” I would not want to talk myself out of easy money, but as the musical curator, could I be saving myself a potential headache?
I was glad to receive her list because she is a 30 year old white girl and I don't normally do birthday parties for 30 year old white girls lol. She had a lot of songs on there that I NEVER play. It was very easy to put her play list together after she sent me the list of songs. So you know I was a big hit at her party because every song I played, SHE LOVED!
Nice Setup 2Legit I Also Have The Both Lighting 360 Tubes I Would Love To Get Sound Switch To Control Them But I Don't Know Anything About SS Is It Easy To Setup?
Thanks!! You can watch my video I made showing you how I use SS. As I state in the video, setting up SS and getting it to work is EXTREMELY hard. Well, at least that was my experience. Watch the video. It should answer your questions and good luck!
Thanks!! The answer is very simple. I still LOVEEEE my Rane One, however it's set up in my home studio and I use it for streaming live on TikTok. I don't be feeling like tearing it down to take out on gigs when my DDJ-1000 is already packed up and ready to go and also weighs a lot less so it's easier to transport around.
That would not solve this problem. The internet in itself was not the problem. I was connected to their internet and able to access TH-cam and other sites with zero issues. So I tried my hotspot on my phone. Same problem. So it is something about that "area" that Tidal does not like.
Set up looks great , and the venue is nice ...i always feel kind of bad when its only like 9 pm and more than half of the gust are already gone and only the birthday girl , her family and a few of her real friends are there , because they know they have the venue and DJ till 11 pm . and it takes effort and money to do something like this , i mean if you are invited at least be nice and stick around till like 10 pm ...just saying . but once again awesome job carnal..
Thanks bro!! Yep you described it correctly but we still had fun with the people who stayed. The birthday girl was very happy with my services and left me a glowing review too. She's also been praising me and my services on her FB page so I'm happy that she was happy.
Yeah, I tried that last year when I had this exact same problem and I still had the same result. Something about that area where this venue is located that Tidal just refuses to work.

Thanks!! You can do it. It's never too late. Good luck to you!
Ah yes I remember this place from last year! Always enjoy your videos fam! Always Keeping it Legit!!!
Thanks Benny!!
Nice work bro! Always a great idea to download those songs ahead of time!!
Yep! I will do that all the time from now on.
Awesome job as usual sir. Great content.
Great job! It looks great. I’m with you keeping it simple as I also don’t have an assistant.
Nice setup I like that setup. 👌🏼
Another great gig log. A nice quick setup. Keep doing what you do my brother. Peace.
Thx 2Legit. Great vlog
Awesome setup!!!! looks amazing man! great job!
Another great video another great set up
Thanks Dan!!
I love the setup

Yes times sure have changed.
That’s why you should have a hot spot all the time
Tried that. Didn't work at this venue.

Nice work! You're one of my favorite DJ vloggers.
@_P_M_ Thanks!! Glad to know that.
Awesome setup love the tee bar idea with the upligths
Thanks!! Yeah I saw another DJ doing that and thought to myself, "Now why didn't I think of that?" Lol

@djerniet350 Thanks!! Yep I might get the wireless Both moving heads too. We'll see.
Good job 2Legit

@DJCoolThing2018 Thanks!! You got that right about 100% relying on streaming services.
@@DJ2Legit007 your welcome.
Nice, who makes the disco balls?
Made by Luditek. I got a set of 2 for $15 on Amazon.
Good stuff. For a potential client to give 160 some odd songs, should we ask “Why do you want a DJ?” I would not want to talk myself out of easy money, but as the musical curator, could I be saving myself a potential headache?

How do you film the shot where you snap and change clothes, I know it’s two different shots but how do you put them together seamlessly?
I use Sony Vegas. I just splice the 2 scenes together.

What disco balls do you use if there are no outlets on the corners of the room?
@@manidelgado None. Lol
Nice set up. I may have to invest in a black facade. Why did you go back to your DDJ? I have a DDJ also.
Thanks!! The answer is very simple. I still LOVEEEE my Rane One, however it's set up in my home studio and I use it for streaming live on TikTok.

Virtual Dj sux djay algorithm is the best
Don't get comfortable being rude on my channel or you won't be here long. 1st and only warning.
What about a portable internet solution?
That would not solve this problem. The internet in itself was not the problem. I was connected to their internet and able to access TH-cam and other sites with zero issues. So I tried my hotspot on my phone. Same problem. So it is something about that "area" that Tidal does not like.

USE YOU CELL AS A HOTSPOT AND OR TRY TO LOGIN IN WITH YOUR PHONE AND SEE IF YOU CAN
Yeah, I tried that last year when I had this exact same problem and I still had the same result. Something about that area where this venue is located that Tidal just refuses to work.
I figured it would be done close by 10ish @dj2legit
You and me both. Lol
