Every Dj Messes up at least once in a set specially on 3+hr set mixing by yourself. Props for making sober people dance lol. I just did a 7hr set and messed up at least 3 times. It happens, at least you know the dj is mixing live and not Pre recorded mixes.
Great Gig Rick ;) I guess the JBL system must be very loud, I can hear it even from my pc speakers :) I like this kind of parties.. something that here in Italy we don't use to do.. what was that prom about? University?
Great gig log as always! I love that you left the transitions in there. Keep the vids coming man! Also I bought an EV ZLX15 and I must say if it weren't for your beginner DJ speaker video, I wouldn't have found EV. They ROCK!
I use the 2 zlx 12's 2 zlx 15's and 1 18 etx. To answer another question on these replies I use all EV stands but, I will say after one year one of my stands for some reason is binding when I expand it, not sure why It has to be a bent pole.
Nice job rick let me tell you no matter what there is always a twist in dj gig for this high school kids especially seniors there last dance . I'm a single dj when i start i wait for them to tell me when to stop even if it goes tell 10pm from the get go and yes you got to hit it from the start make them so tired jumping bumping whatever and you got expect the unexpected right.
Great job ...i like your music selection....and you did your job by keeping the KIDS happy...the admins often forget...they were once KIDS..lol...keep up the good work...job well done !!!!!
Cool 3d laser! Good improvising on splitting the subs up due to the stairs. Lots of little tips and tricks hidden throughout the video for those who pay attention. I agree Serato SUCKS for autoplay. I use it for when the guests are arriving, and have a quick playlist ready for bathroom/food. I'd say its the worst thing about Serato.
Bro I was scared for your equipment when all those kids got on stage! Also, can't believe you get away with playing all those dirty rap songs at a high school dance.
Admins can be a blow to any event you do at high schools! I deal with this all the time with my local high school! don't worry, you're good and the kids love ya... You will be back, trust me!
Really like it when you put your playlist on the screen as the snippets of the mixed songs changed Wish you did a playlist on all as I sometimes cant tell what the songs are
Had a lot of kids communion parties this month and always need to like decompress from top 40 / pop / chart music and listen to something completely different!
you are doing a great job with those gigs bro, I am a young up and coming DJ and I am in love with old school music and when I be going to gigs I be listening to new school rap just to get my mind ready to rock the House and I feel and understand with you saying because I have to dj for my mom this Sunday and I built that trust that you was talking about and I rocked it bro you are helping me out with the scratches but I don't have them all yet but I am getting there I want to be just like you!!
Great Vlog!!! I've been a fan for a while now and I'm digging your progression as a DJ. What strategy do you take when selecting your slow dance songs when it comes to genre-specific events? Keep up the great work!!!
I used to use a trailer. I've downsized to fit everything into my jeep but I have a huge show using my top tier this Saturday. I barely fit everything from my new setup in my jeep. I may have to rent a uhaul for those just so everything isn't so crammed in there.
May even get some soft cases for my speakers so it frees up some room. The dual hard case is heavy and takes up a lot of room. At least for those shows. I'll keep it for other events tho.
+Chris Bruce as long as the track following it build it works. I cant remember how I rold with that being first, but I definitely followed it up with at least 2 more progressipn build songs.
Hey Ricky, I just "inherited" a bunch of lighting and I was wondering if you could help me design a set up. If I send photos of all the stuff, could you draw up a simple design sketch? I think it would make for an interesting segment. Thanks so much for your gig logs and I also really appreciated your thorough videos on speaker and subwoofer placement. Big help man. -Jen
Watch the top 40 list. And you just kinda learn over time that you can tell if a song will be hype or not. Getting a bar / club week gig helps to. Those are great to test new music and judge the reactions.
Recently found your page... you have a very similar style at your weddings to your performance that I do. I am rarely impressed, especially with someone so young. You do a great job. I was curious.... do you run into any copyright issues with your TH-cam videos?
Hey Rick, nice video and awesome gig like always. Can you tell me please the last song you've played at this gig? I can't find it. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Great vlog. Most times on the way to a gig, I don’t listen to anything or maybe just talk back radio. Because My sets are long 5 - 6 hrs. And I don’t want to here music I might be playing.
Hi I'm brady.My middle school would like me to dj for their yearly dance.I have no idea what to do.My freaking laptop hard drive got courupted and I'm not a real experienced dj.So I just want to do an auto mix the whole time.What do u recommend
Get a mini van. Check out the IVECO Daily mini box van They're pretty good stuff. Advantage, if you need other things moved (apart from your gear) you've got the space
I want to build a set up for personal use at home with 2 JBL EON615. What other pieces do i need to simply play music from a streaming app like Google Play or Spotify ?
You doing your thing man, sharing your passion. There will always be people who will talk junk. Keep up the good videos! "'Push It, Push it, Push It'' (O.T. Genasis Voice) @djpatatl
Where did your booth go again !?!?!??! and not trying to put you down or anything but i would definitely work on the mixing side of things. :) best regards Zayin Conde
I am talking about your monitor outputs, looked like you where using them as your main instead of a monitor. and fair enough i know the feeling for sure. I was djaying a house party for my friends birthday and a kid spilled a beer in my cdj 2000s and my djm 900. I was so pissed and the party was off the books so insurance didn't cover it. anyways long story short went the next 3 months playing with out practice. could tell it was going downhill. :O
+Zayins Private account makes it easier to adjust the bass seprate from the tops especially when running a 4 sub system like this one. Now I just adjust it on ny drive rack
Yo Web, you got 2 play the funk man!! The Wispers, Rick James, James Brown, Oliver Cheatham.... Songs featured in video games like vice city etc. Younger generation love, brings back there gaming days! Good warm up tunez
DJ Rick Web hey just wanted to say love the videos...keep em coming and to download the song Hey mami from Sylvan Esso. Its a really good song for bass!
Hi I use the JBL prx718xlf subs and the jbl prx 815tops. I saw in your movie that you connect the subs from out the booth out and you connect them double (L en R). Is there a reason for this? Give this a better sound? Thanks.
+MAaDmUm read the outlet numbers off the breaker box. You could also ask the buildings maintenance personal or they sell a tester that lets you plug on end into the outlet and you can then scan the breaker box for which breaker each outlet is on.
Fleet dj k1 get the SZ1 bro, SZ2 is not Rekordbox Compatible if you would ever choose to switch back and fourth. I was kinda bumbed out when I bought my SZ2 because of that but Rekordbox isnt all its cracked up to be. Video is better on Serato.
Bro what happened @11:00 lol I love that pretty girl remix it's really cool! And i feel you being a young DJ i feel like i got an advantage on the new stuff but now i listen to the old stuff and man i missed out a lot lol And administrators do too much man just don't listen lol
Just put a bid in for that schools prom next year. I told them I don't curse on the mic lol. Just Kidding. I know how tempting it is when you are mixing and the energy is over the top, you want to yell let's fuckin' rage. We all have those moments. Luckily I haven't done that yet. I've come close though haha.
they kid in the red suit at the front, I genuinely feel sorry for him, he had nobody to dance with on the slow song and nobody wanted to talk to him, if I'd of been doing that gig and spotted that, I'd invite him up to show the "cool" kids whos boss.... he enjoyed the music, I just hope that kid grows up successful!
The red and green dot one is a knock I bought a local shop way back when I first started. Then red and blue is the ADJ Micro Galaxian Royal. And the 3d laser is the ADJ image RGB. Both laser are discontinued.
Bruh. There were so many couples who stayed in one "dance position" for so long. Hahaha. I'm assuming the school gave no care to a lot of stuff hahaha. Shout out to the kids who fa real dance
DJ Rick Web oh totally missed that lol. But then again I watch these vids while I'm driving to and from work. So I'm not actually able to keep my eyes on it (no i don't just stare and get caught watching lol)
I got two ways... One is default, the other I take the 3/4 deck button and remap it (I never use it). So first you have the button where when you hold it down, it reverses the audio for as long as you keep holding. Then I make one that's a quick vinyl break effect. Good for single words, and keeps it interesting. As far as the rapper in this video, he had a lot of charisma, and I understand he wrote the song... but it wasn't very "live"... he played a track and occasionally said things over it. lol Would have been better as a (karaoke style) instrumental beat, and he raps over it, so he can censor himself.
i sometimes listen to pop music on my way to church and ya most weddings in IN are the same country and pop i live in a farming comunity so ya and ya i hate the wether in IN is crazy too
Im a fan I am but a couple of those transitions were a little rough. Again just constructive no harm meant.
Every Dj Messes up at least once in a set specially on 3+hr set mixing by yourself. Props for making sober people dance lol. I just did a 7hr set and messed up at least 3 times. It happens, at least you know the dj is mixing live and not Pre recorded mixes.

Great gig log as always! I love that you left the transitions in there. Keep the vids coming man!
Also I bought an EV ZLX15 and I must say if it weren't for your beginner DJ speaker video, I wouldn't have found EV. They ROCK!
Cade Perry dude I LOVE MY ZLX'S THEY ARE THE BEST! I'm going for a EKX- 15sp or 18sp next for a sub! I'm hypeee
I also have a set of ZLX's and the 18' EKX subs, love the quality :)
#EVrule
just curious what speaker stands did you buy to support your EVs? (I'm new to this type of equipment)
Cade Perry I haven't purchased any speaker stands yet
I use the 2 zlx 12's 2 zlx 15's and 1 18 etx. To answer another question on these replies I use all EV stands but, I will say after one year one of my stands for some reason is binding when I expand it, not sure why It has to be a bent pole.

I do the exact same thing. I do a lot of rap and pop gigs so I listen to country the most in the car.

+Rob Locke agree
Bro I was scared for your equipment when all those kids got on stage! Also, can't believe you get away with playing all those dirty rap songs at a high school dance.
+bennyboy214 wasnt worried a bit. They do it every year
Dirty rap songs are what kids listen to, hence the dirty dancing. Schools start playing them as kids transfer into middle school.
Great job, like the way you handled the mic, great flow and no stalling when talking to the crowd. 👍🏽👍🏽
Man it would of been amazing if you did my prom when I was in Highschool! If you need any kind of graphics or designs done let me know!
Admins can be a blow to any event you do at high schools! I deal with this all the time with my local high school! don't worry, you're good and the kids love ya... You will be back, trust me!
Really like it when you put your playlist on the screen as the snippets of the mixed songs changed Wish you did a playlist on all as I sometimes cant tell what the songs are
Nice job man . Do you mind posting your playlist u did at the prom .
....
Had a lot of kids communion parties this month and always need to like decompress from top 40 / pop / chart music and listen to something completely different!
nice job guys! thanks for filming your mix.
you are doing a great job with those gigs bro, I am a young up and coming DJ and I am in love with old school music and when I be going to gigs I be listening to new school rap just to get my mind ready to rock the House and I feel and understand with you saying because I have to dj for my mom this Sunday and I built that trust that you was talking about and I rocked it bro you are helping me out with the scratches but I don't have them all yet but I am getting there I want to be just like you!!
Really loved the video and setup on this one man! You really covered everything and looked like a really good gig1 Keep it up :)
Nice VLOG Rick and great comments on different music from events as it does keep you fresh and not burned out.
Great Vlog!!! I've been a fan for a while now and I'm digging your progression as a DJ. What strategy do you take when selecting your slow dance songs when it comes to genre-specific events? Keep up the great work!!!
+DJ UNKNOWN not much of one. More like young people what ever is current. Older pick something of there age.
I used to use a trailer. I've downsized to fit everything into my jeep but I have a huge show using my top tier this Saturday. I barely fit everything from my new setup in my jeep. I may have to rent a uhaul for those just so everything isn't so crammed in there.
May even get some soft cases for my speakers so it frees up some room. The dual hard case is heavy and takes up a lot of room. At least for those shows. I'll keep it for other events tho.
I listen to all genres as well! As also I do listen to the opposite music before gigs!! Keep up the good work!
Lol all the grinding brings back all the memories of high school dances.
I totally do the same thing. I listen to anything but what I know I'm going to play at my event! Country is def. my go to!
how do you go from that slow dance right into baby's got back? probably need a couple transition tracks in between, no?
+Chris Bruce as long as the track following it build it works. I cant remember how I rold with that being first, but I definitely followed it up with at least 2 more progressipn build songs.
Hey Ricky,
I just "inherited" a bunch of lighting and I was wondering if you could help me design a set up. If I send photos of all the stuff, could you draw up a simple design sketch? I think it would make for an interesting segment. Thanks so much for your gig logs and I also really appreciated your thorough videos on speaker and subwoofer placement. Big help man.
-Jen
I'm just getting into djing how do you keep up to what music people like/get them dancing and not complain?
Watch the top 40 list. And you just kinda learn over time that you can tell if a song will be hype or not. Getting a bar / club week gig helps to. Those are great to test new music and judge the reactions.
Thank you!
Those Mini Led wash movers kick arse. pretty impressive for the size
Recently found your page... you have a very similar style at your weddings to your performance that I do. I am rarely impressed, especially with someone so young. You do a great job. I was curious.... do you run into any copyright issues with your TH-cam videos?
+Brandon nope. Just keep the music clips cut into 10 second or less clips
Hey Rick, nice video and awesome gig like always. Can you tell me please the last song you've played at this gig? I can't find it. Thanks and keep up the good work.
+icsu david guetta vs flow rida low

Wish you would've did my prom, the dj at mine wasn't good at all plus his setup seemed to be messed up couldn't really understand the music.
Good video. I like that laser (6:58). What kind is it?
Adj Image rgb. It's long discontinued now.
TRANSITION/MASHUP FROM SINGLE LADIES TO AYY LADIES AND THEN INTO WOBBLE.. Bruh!!! That shit was FIRE! 🔥
+Monz Munkyz thanks
awesome stuff good to hear your thoughts on what works
i always listen to the opposite genre before i dj any party you have to sharpen your mind
What do you mean? Can you explain?
You're using the booth output for the subs?
Yeah booth to the subs and regular out to the tops. Just makes turning the gain on 4 subs easier.
Keep the vids coming great gig 👍
I listen to country and Latino music in the car.....plays all genres tho
could u please include a track list for this one and all futer ones
Do you ever use a DB meter ?
Yes
On my way to gigs I either listen to talk radio or have it off. Otherwise I listen to BPM or throwbacks.
I couldn't find dude on my google search so is it ruzzo or rizzo Rudy ? Ill make a sharp clean version
@djant863
+DJANTTV i believe its rizzy rudy. Not sure
Great vlog. Most times on the way to a gig, I don’t listen to anything or maybe just talk back radio. Because My sets are long 5 - 6 hrs. And I don’t want to here music I might be playing.
Hey rick! what are song of the songs in this? I got some gigs coming up that id like to play these at.
Hi I'm brady.My middle school would like me to dj for their yearly dance.I have no idea what to do.My freaking laptop hard drive got courupted and I'm not a real experienced dj.So I just want to do an auto mix the whole time.What do u recommend
+Brady Brooks itunes on an ipod or ipad. Send the transition between tracks to like 10 second overlaps. If you want to do an auto mix for cheap.
DJ Rick Web thx!
Get a mini van. Check out the IVECO Daily mini box van
They're pretty good stuff. Advantage, if you need other things moved (apart from your gear) you've got the space
+Brandon Tan Productions uhhh not in my area. I do a lot of weddings in country back road location.
Nice setup by the way 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I want to build a set up for personal use at home with 2 JBL EON615. What other pieces do i need to simply play music from a streaming app like Google Play or Spotify ?

Where did your booth go again !?!?!??! and not trying to put you down or anything but i would definitely work on the mixing side of things. :) best regards Zayin Conde
+Zayins Private account which booth? Watch the next couple gigs. I came to this gig not practicing for a week. Lol. It was rough.
I am talking about your monitor outputs, looked like you where using them as your main instead of a monitor. and fair enough i know the feeling for sure. I was djaying a house party for my friends birthday and a kid spilled a beer in my cdj 2000s and my djm 900. I was so pissed and the party was off the books so insurance didn't cover it. anyways long story short went the next 3 months playing with out practice. could tell it was going downhill. :O
+Zayins Private account the monitor output went to the subs. The main ouput went to the tops.
huh interesting, ive just never seen that before lol. guess thats one way to do it. i guess if it works it works:P
+Zayins Private account makes it easier to adjust the bass seprate from the tops especially when running a 4 sub system like this one. Now I just adjust it on ny drive rack
lol funny you said that I also do the same thing to clear my mind before an event.
What’s your problem with censoring most of these people are 17 and 18 and theres some the same age as collage kids.
Because I have to. Administration rules
Freestyle is always the best keep up the great work
do you have to pay for music with your software? and what software do you use?
+Erin Freund use serato and virtual dj. And yes I pay for 2 different dj pools. Top hits and DJ city
have you ever considered using a booth monitor for yourself?
+Viny8u yes and dont care to do that
Where did you get those T bar scrims from?
Link?
I contacted a skrim king dealer to get them. I believe I DJ now sells them. There the 2 sides white lighting skrims from skrim king
I need help! Im locked out of my youtube channel it keeps saying server error 500! I want to upload and I cant. Has anyone had this proplem???
I remember the good ole dance floor grindin ahhhh the mems

What laptop do you use to DJ with and what are the specs of it?
+tyrellP03 hp envy dv7 17in core i5 6 gb ram. 1tb hybrid drive. No graphics card
DJ Rick Web thanks for that. Do you know what would be better for a DJ laptop when it comes to storage, SSD or HDD?
+tyrellP03 ssd by far. Hdd are going away overall. But all the travel and moving around ssd way safer
Yo Web, you got 2 play the funk man!! The Wispers, Rick James, James Brown, Oliver Cheatham....

Those JBL sounding clean
i love your gigs there so lit
Thanks

I like what you did with baby got back
Hi I use the JBL prx718xlf subs and the jbl prx 815tops. I saw in your movie that you connect the subs from out the booth out and you connect them double (L en R). Is there a reason for this? Give this a better sound? Thanks.
Volume control on a seprate knob.
GREAT GIG RICKY :)
my guy in the blue at 16:35 is getting double the action
Lincoln and that why he was two child support to pay
Wow I love your setup
Aye what kind amp u use for them sub.. and how many watt u running in ur sub
+Director Heard there powered subs. Listed in description. Each is running at about 1000 program power.
On the part u sed was sloppy for bpm switch like that echo out and drop the other track on the 1 count 👌
What instrumental was that before the cupid shuffle
+Renigadecrew it was just the outro from the last track.
oh ok thanks, was it from tick tock?
+Renigadecrew I am not sure
oh ok
how do you know that the different Outlets are on different circuits?
+MAaDmUm read the outlet numbers off the breaker box. You could also ask the buildings maintenance personal or they sell a tester that lets you plug on end into the outlet and you can then scan the breaker box for which breaker each outlet is on.
Good job Man ..!!!
I own the sx2 but plan on getting the sz2
Fleet dj k1 get the SZ1 bro, SZ2 is not Rekordbox Compatible if you would ever choose to switch back and fourth. I was kinda bumbed out when I bought my SZ2 because of that but Rekordbox isnt all its cracked up to be. Video is better on Serato.
Do you DJ in stereo?
Sometimes
😍😍😍😍😍😍
Bro what happened @11:00 lol
I love that pretty girl remix it's really cool!
And i feel you being a young DJ i feel like i got an advantage on the new stuff but now i listen to the old stuff and man i missed out a lot lol
And administrators do too much man just don't listen lol
+DJ Brandon what remix? I didnt play one
pretty girl that's a remix cause the original one is less lit!
+DJ Brandon that was me mixing out of yeah by usher in party up by dmx
Just put a bid in for that schools prom next year. I told them I don't curse on the mic lol. Just Kidding. I know how tempting it is when you are mixing and the energy is over the top, you want to yell let's fuckin' rage. We all have those moments. Luckily I haven't done that yet. I've come close though haha.
+DJ Meosky yeah. Its kinda hard when the night before you DJ'd in a raging college bar droping cus words left and right to hype them up too.
they kid in the red suit at the front, I genuinely feel sorry for him, he had nobody to dance with on the slow song and nobody wanted to talk to him, if I'd of been doing that gig and spotted that, I'd invite him up to show the "cool" kids whos boss.... he enjoyed the music, I just hope that kid grows up successful!
What kind of lasers did you use
The red and green dot one is a knock I bought a local shop way back when I first started. Then red and blue is the ADJ Micro Galaxian Royal. And the 3d laser is the ADJ image RGB. Both laser are discontinued.
when's your new mix coming out
How many kids you think were there?
Over 200 for sure. Probably somewhere around 250.
Dope thanks, just landed a prom in May. Thanks for the inspiration
love the gig log, definitely would recommend working on the mixing. that's just my opinion.
What ever happened to the mic clipping
Do you live by Roman Atwood house ?
+DJ Junior he is on the other side of ohio compared to where I live
Bruh. There were so many couples who stayed in one "dance position" for so long. Hahaha. I'm assuming the school gave no care to a lot of stuff hahaha. Shout out to the kids who fa real dance
+Jose Alvarez oh they cared watch closely you will see the principal and vp walking around. They were enforcing stuff
DJ Rick Web oh totally missed that lol. But then again I watch these vids while I'm driving to and from work. So I'm not actually able to keep my eyes on it (no i don't just stare and get caught watching lol)
wgats the name of your mixer or control
+Viktor Rosenberg pioneer ddj sz
thank you
what lasers were you using
+reyesproduc adj galaxian royal, regular galaxian, and micro image rgb
Good advice.
what was the song called you got
I Loveeeeeeeeeeeee your DJ skills
Could you do a tutorial on Chauvet ShowXpress?
+Zac Anderson maybe
please can you tell me/us how you were censoring the rapper
+James Rowe censor button on the pioneer ddj sz. Lots of controllers have it.
oh thanks
I love your group gig logs
thanks for the instant reply
I got two ways... One is default, the other I take the 3/4 deck button and remap it (I never use it). So first you have the button where when you hold it down, it reverses the audio for as long as you keep holding. Then I make one that's a quick vinyl break effect. Good for single words, and keeps it interesting. As far as the rapper in this video, he had a lot of charisma, and I understand he wrote the song... but it wasn't very "live"... he played a track and occasionally said things over it. lol Would have been better as a (karaoke style) instrumental beat, and he raps over it, so he can censor himself.
All the little skinny guys all on the girls😹
i sometimes listen to pop music on my way to church and ya most weddings in IN are the same country and pop i live in a farming comunity so ya and ya i hate the wether in IN is crazy too
