About to playing a show this friday, and I need all of your help!! Posted on: 30.08.2012 by Madelene Witek My buddies parents are going out of town for the weekend, and were gonna have a show at his house this friday. Going to be a LOT of people there, like end of the summer party. Upstairs we are moving all the couches to the wall. I'll be playing from a table with an X1 and a Mixtrack Pro out of Traktor Pro 2.5. He has a home system, (a 15" and 13" sub, and then the rest of the mids and whatnot), I believe it is called Yamaha Infinity, and the receiver is HTR-5730, we are sound checking tomorrow, I am pretty confident it will be loud enough. But in case, we are bringing in my buddies powered floor speaker (~110V/60Hz/128W), It's the budweiser promo tower speaker. And I have a little system at my house, just a lot of home systems. (more info to come on the speakers) The Mixtrack pro has the two sets of outs, how can I use more than one in case we set up two systems from each? We would like to use two laptops to run Milkdrop into his projector, and then maybe aim the projector at a disco ball and see how that looks. And we have a couple black lights, strobes, Is there a guide, or does anyone have experience in setting that up? One computer that will be running traktor is Macbook Pro, and the other running milkdrop to the projector will be windows. Can this work? He has neighbors, would it be a good idea to ring their doorbell and let them know a day in advance and let them know whats going on? Ask them what times would be okay to crank it? Offer earplugs haha? Also, in the VERY off chance cops end up there, would they take my audio gear ? Is that common? Everyone at this house, could be anywhere between 30 to even 60+ people there. All Underage, drinking, smoking, etc. We will be serving alcohol, buying a bunch of cheap vodka, mixing drinks and selling for like $.50. Is this an absolutely atrocious idea? We will be in Sudden Valley, Washington. Huge space between houses, and if there are any problems security of the Valley (Whom we are acquanted with, and are generally very lax and cooperative) would be notified long before police. Tips? Ideas? Help? Thanks. Couldn't believe of any more experienced party throwers than the DJTT community!

Geri Jarra 16.09.2012	hate to dig this up, but I was randomly believeing about this thread today and looked forward to hearing the outcome. OP??
Erich Vallabhaneni 04.09.2012	hoping to see some news/pics sometime today or the OP is in the clank
Ossie Pooley 04.09.2012	Police tend to jump on these things fairly quickly but I don't believe that they'd have a problem with such a small party. In London they stopped my party just after 11PM! Lesson to be learnt; don't make it a public event on facebook. =P
Jonas Hanway 04.09.2012	It's now Tuesday and no report back... Time to speculate the outcome. Police raid? Neighbours got pissed off and attended the party wearing a white mask and a machete? Still going on?
Shalon Jaranilla 04.09.2012	I know it's my cunning way of payback, but i couldn't leave this one.

Jerica Salava 01.09.2012	Inform the neighbors. Say it's a birthday party and invite them to drop by if they like (they won't, unless they party and then they will be cool). The invitation will make them feel like asssholes if they want to call the cops. Try to start the party early like 9PM so the neighbors get use to the music and you gradually increase the energy. You don't want to start blasting at 11PM when they are getting ready for bed. Unless you bring 50 drunk people to the sound check you won't get a realistic idea of the sound levels. I believe that sound system will be o.k. but not loud enough if the peoples voices get really loud. Make sure to control the volume. If you go too loud, too early, the people will start shouting their conversations over the music and you will have no headroom. Have fun and report back. Cheers ! >

Era Roka 01.09.2012	That lazer story is kinda weird, never heard of it. (i'm am not questioning you at al scamo)
Carlene Mikles 01.09.2012	Originally Posted by scamo Shucks. Too bad then. Lasers are a real PITA to use in Germany from what I've been reading. You actually have to have a specialist come in and approve of the laser's usage (and pay him big bucks too) and you have to be a "certified" laser specialist yourself too. Guess the Government doesn't want people going blind from improper laser usage....whatever. That is the sucky side of a more socialist government. Too many rules in too many cases. As for levels, if your levels are too hight, you most likely will have distortion/ clipping and that is actually bad sound, hurts ears, and not a real crowd pleasing situation. But since there was no crowd in the video, I guess its no big deal. scamo hehe.. I know about watching my levels. We just had a strange setup with the s4, going straight into the amps with no clipping or distortion. I'm not sure how it happened. It just did lol. As for lasers in Germany. That is a bummer!
Chasidy Heckenbach 01.09.2012	Originally Posted by TCMuc So exactly half of the people showed up, and those who did went to jail? lol! i guess that would be half successful-ish?
Nikole Resende 01.09.2012	Originally Posted by zestoi i hope it was exactly right inbetween those two possibilities So exactly half of the people showed up, and those who did went to jail?
Chasidy Heckenbach 01.09.2012	Originally Posted by Emery I bet either no one showed up, everyone went to jail... or something in between. regardless, pictures i hope it was exactly right inbetween those two possibilities
Geri Jarra 01.09.2012	I bet either no one showed up, everyone went to jail... or something in between. regardless, pictures
Chasidy Heckenbach 01.09.2012	we'd always just move all valuable stuff and furniture into one room and either lock the door or just make sure no one could get in. less worry that way of stuff getting trashed we'd always buy plenty of beer so no one ran out - and not worry about trying to get any cash back. the tip jar idea or selling cups is cunning tho... everyone would bring their own stuff anyway tho so how'd it go? hope u had a good one
Rey Holubar 01.09.2012	Originally Posted by BruceWayne Yeah that is just a lazer!!! it looks really sweet with the fog. and yeah... we weren't worried about levels... we push it to the limit! Shucks.

Era Roka 01.09.2012	Originally Posted by BruceWayne SORRY.... Yeah thats a crapping shit drunk pile of lights if you will... I mean. We don't gig with these or anything. It's for partying on our own basis. WE THINK ITS A SHIT LOAD OF LIGHTS. we aren't pros though. the truss was custom built with our hands..... beat that. fuxkwitit. cool! nice truss looks proffesional!
Carlene Mikles 01.09.2012	Originally Posted by scamo Hey. Pretty cool. You wouldn't imagine that array of lights can put out that much effect. But not bad. What is the light top left, with the green laser like effect? is that actually a laser? I am looking into lighting and that one interests me. Oh BTW, you need to watch your levels. Maxed out in the red there @2:28. LOL! scamo Yeah that is just a lazer!!! it looks really sweet with the fog. and yeah... we weren't worried about levels... we push it to the limit!
Carlene Mikles 01.09.2012	Originally Posted by Duksedrengen how can that be a shit lots of lights? i normally gig with 4-8 scanners, Atomic, 2 led blacklights, 2 200 mw green and red lasers, 2-4 led bars :O its that a crapping shit drunk pile of lights then? what kind truss is that? its really cute :-) SORRY....

Arla Seniw 31.08.2012	Bass low, mids and highs just above or around head height if pos. Project the sound over the people not into a wall of them. Get the pictures up!
Shalon Jaranilla 31.08.2012	Originally Posted by DJDoubleYou comeon keep it cool dude, why so much hate? They just wanna throw a cool party. No hate here, just a reality check, He asked advice from all of us, And I gave him some, He calls it square so this reaction is to provoke a wake up call, to step in the shoes of someone else. "The parents of his friend." I have been a kid to, and I know what can be done at a party. And he mentioned square, If you want to have a cool party be cool and, do it like in the old days, find a place where you're sure you're not hurting people that are near you, by going behind their back. Maybe check out about the first underground raves, Your'e From Holland so me too. I Just mentioned get permission of the parents, or find a place. "if you wanna be hardcore and the cool kid, go underground" That's it. That's not square its fair.
Madelene Witek 31.08.2012	Anytips on speaker placement, i can post a picture of the current set up. But what are some general guidelines for good speaker placement?
Erica Charvet 31.08.2012	Originally Posted by OmniRoss Charging at house parties will not work. No way. People will find a way of not paying, and it's not worth the hassle. Just leave it all out and be done with it. Accept the fact you're never gonna get the money back but people will appreciate the free booze and will probably work in your favour. We always charged for kegs. $5 a cup and it was obvious that there were plenty of people sharing cups and bringing their own... but we still made nearly $800 at one of our house parties 30-60 people is very easily manageable. Keep it to the basement if you can and avoid having people outside if at all possible.
Janella Gripe 31.08.2012	Get some young securitie boys...
Arla Seniw 31.08.2012	Originally Posted by souldancer `Let's wait and see, if you never worked for supporting a family, building a house, Then you seem like the rich spoiled kid that takes things for granted, and gonna fuck up some lives for people that did, yes you are so very cool.
Era Roka 31.08.2012	Originally Posted by souldancer Hahahah, we're not that dumb Square. `Let's wait and see, if you never worked for supporting a family, building a house, Then you seem like the rich spoiled kid that takes things for granted, and gonna fuck up some lives for people that did, yes you are so very cool. comeon keep it cool dude, why so much hate?

Madelene Witek 31.08.2012	Originally Posted by OmniRoss I'm assuming that the laptop with Milkdrop on it will be fairly modern and that is has a built in microphone, so just set Milkdrop to listen to sound from that in it's settings and you should be good to go. Tried to get this going toevening on just our practice, can you elaborate cause i couldnt find where those settings would be Originally Posted by Nicky H Make sure you put a reminder on Facebook for everyone - don't worry about hundreds seeing it and turning upm that would never happen Hahahah, we're not that dumb Originally Posted by souldancer `Seems like you have a nice recipe for disaster, glad you're not my kid. Inform the parents. If you pulled a stunt in my house like that, expect some serious ass whooping. Square. Originally Posted by oliosky My advice.

Rey Holubar 31.08.2012	Originally Posted by BruceWayne You should be fine with the home sound you have. 60 people is a good amount especially in a house, no matter how big. We just threw a party and 30 people was a good amount, but not crowded. keep in mind it was in a warehouse.(shown in video) Having a party for our mates 21st this weekend. Hoping for at least 100 heads. WE have a macking system though. Check out the vid and UPGRADE YOUR LIFE!!! 2X 15'S 2X 18'S SUB'S 4000watt amp!!! ANd a shit load of lights!! Hey. Pretty cool.
