[DJMC] LOL
[Jim_Casey] Very strange Matt...very strange
[DJMC] J/K w. u.
[rockaparty] haha
[djhath] Matt's quite the character!
[DJMC] Randy is either full of BS or a god, depending whom you speak 2
[Professor_Jam] lol
[DJMC] I think the truth is somewhere in between.
[DJMC] Like with all things
[DJMC] I can't praise him enough for what he's done in this market
[DJMC] in having raised the bar.........he deserves my never-ending gratitude.
[Jim_Casey] Well...he certainly made you a much higher paid DJ than when we first chatted a couple years ago
[Johnny_Dee] I've said it before...the problem is most DJ's are not business people and will never really understand how to make money
[DJMC] That is very true........hence the shrine
[rockaparty] here here
[Jim_Casey] Amen Johnny Dee
[DJMC] So many hobbyists
DJ_Art has joined the chat.
[Jim_Casey] Cap pointed out that at least 87% of our industry is part-timers and hobbyists
[Professor_Jam] Yes Johnny Egos and the I can do better approach
[Jim_Casey] Hi Art...
[Jim_Casey] welcome
[Jim_Casey] My fellow brother in arms from Maine is here
[DJMC] There are LOTS of Jons (aka Sawdust 123) who are very knowlegeable but don't have biz skills because they have full time jobs
[rockaparty] geez 87 percent
[DJ_Art] Thanks, fellows.
[Jim_Casey] That may be a low estimate
[Professor_Jam] Thats true but remember Part Time Bands out number us by quit allot
[Jim_Casey] Yes, true...
[rockaparty] feel you on that
[DJ_Art] How much do part-time bands command?
[DJMC] Fortunately most of those 87% don't know how to market
[Johnny_Dee] also many feel that just because they have great DJ skills that it's going to make them a ton of money
[djhath] DJMC - master of the "Billboard Effect"
[Professor_Jam] 50% of the market
[DJMC] Hath, whatever you just said printed in yellow.
[Jim_Casey] Something is up with your computer Matt
[rockaparty] forrealz
[Jim_Casey] I saw him fine here
[DJMC] It only does it once in a while
[djhath] Matt, this chat software doesn't allow you to change the color of your font
[djhath] I wrote - DJMC - master of the "Billboard Effect"
[Jim_Casey] Alright...ponder this...
[Johnny_Dee] I saw it
[DJMC] I read the first line (above) but not the 2nd
[DJ_Art] No color on my screen.
[Jim_Casey] Do the 13% or so Full Time DJs (or career DJs) worry that the standards in our industry are beings dictated by the other 87%
[DJMC] OK, time to change the screen settings on my Dell
[Jim_Casey] Part timers here...do not take offense...
[DJMC] NO
[Jim_Casey] you are not lumped in for this question...
[Professor_Jam] No.... It's dictated by Talant
[DJMC] People are willing to pay more for reliability and efficiency
[rockaparty] haha hey jam am i a part timer now cause of ddd haha
[DJMC] and TALENT
[Johnny_Dee] No
[Professor_Jam] JP will tell you I can mix one handed lololol
[Professor_Jam] ops scratch with my elbow lol
[rockaparty] hahaha Jam will mix using his thinking power of his brain hahaha
[Professor_Jam] You have to admit that was a creative approach in Chicago with my handicap lol
[DJ_Gary_Titus] I've got a local network meeting at my house tonight with Jim DePillo, Mike Law, and Al Martinez. The guy's say hello to everyon
[Jim_Casey] Hi fellas...welcome!
[DJMC] Still gloating over those Patriots?
[Jim_Casey] What network Gary?
[rockaparty] yeah it was, but it still doesnt beat me standing on somethign to reach the dj equipment
[Professor_Jam] Tell Al to phone me this week I have a question for him and a project I'm in the middle of
[Jim_Casey] DJ Art and I are from the Maine Disc Jockey Network
[DJ_Gary_Titus] We started about 4 years ago. Just a few local DJ's
[Professor_Jam] JP needed a BOOSTER roflmao lolololol
[Jim_Casey] Nothing wrong with that GAry
[Jim Casey] How are you doing Art...
[DJ_Gary_Titus] Discussion is good.
[djhath] I think we're talking about the same place... I ate there on Friday night actually
[DJMC] I was a Mainiac once........lived in Bangor 1959 to 1961
[DJ_Art] No kidding! I had a lot of early morning after the clubs closed.
[rockaparty] any dj here recommend a good projection screen or will any da lite tripod screen work..
[DJ_Art] I'm a transplant to Maine, actually. My wife the "maniac".
[Johnny_Dee] da lites are good
[rockaparty] thanks dee, what's a good size to get.. most gigs are about 200-300
[DJMC] I refer people to Connections Audio Visual Lighting in Sacramento. I'm not in the business of renting projectors or screens
[Johnny_Dee] I live in CT, but I own property in Maine
[Johnny_Dee] 10' diagonal
[rockaparty] hahaha matt i'm actrually trying to buy a screen, but now that you mention it i do need to get some rentals for a convention
[DJMC] Connections AVL.......ask for Robert Goff
[DJ_Art] Emotions can get in the way! I, too, step on "it" on occasion. Can the relationship be salvaged? You and Dave?
[Johnny_Dee] we have a screen that is both rear and front projection
[rockaparty] hey matt you have the number
[DJMC] they are also dealers for alot of companies
[rockaparty] o okae... hey johnny dee, which is better front or rear?
[Jim Casey] I dont know...i will call him tomorrow.,..it may not be...he said some rather nasty things to me too
[Johnny_Dee] what do you want to use it for?
[DJ_Art] Hey...what does "Warning: Applet Window" mean? Danger?
[DJMC] Connections AVL (916) 643-9500
[Jim Casey] Nothing...its just warning you that you have a window open using a java applet, thats all
[rockaparty] well mostly for visual effect at some dances or maybe for a couple renting, but i also got a really big anime convention
[DJ_Art] Ohhhhhhhhh!
[rockaparty] thanks matt
[Jim Casey] lol
Cap has joined the chat.
[Jim_Casey] Hey Cap made it!
[DJMC] Yo Cap......whazzup?
[Cap] How 'bout that??!!
[Johnny_Dee] for dances it has to be rear projection. You can't put the projector out in the middle of the dance floor for front projection
[Cap] DJMC - Sameo Sameo
[DJ_Art] I've been beat out by him and Joe a few times lately too! That's life! His comments about sticking with high prices must not hold water during the forzen season.
[rockaparty] hmmm gotcha man
HeadlineDJ has joined the chat.
[Jim_Casey] Hey Phil
[Jim_Casey] How are ya?
Jams has joined the chat.
[HeadlineDJ] Wow, Full room [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
[Jim_Casey] Hey Mike...welcome
[HeadlineDJ] I'm good... for the time being
[rockaparty] is rear projection good for view slide shows as well?
[Johnny_Dee] sure
[Jams] hey finally
[DJ_Art] Hey Jams...you guys are covering a lot of territory.
[rockaparty] hmmm alright i think i know what to get now.. thanks johnny dee and djmc
[Johnny_Dee] except that for rear projection you need 12 to 14 feet behind the screen
[HeadlineDJ] Sorry I aint been around the forums much the past month, had some personal problems to deal with
[rockaparty] how many feet do you need for front projection
[Jams] LOL..Heard any more ads Art?
[Johnny_Dee] same thing...but the projector would be out on the dance floor
[HeadlineDJ] Hey, can anyone here do Voice drops or Intro Jingles?
[rockaparty] ahh ic
[Johnny_Dee] we also use Plasmas mounted on trussing. Best to use when space is tight
[DJ_Art] Johnny, you own land or home in Maine? What part of state?
[Johnny_Dee] own land...town of Surrey
[Jim_Casey] I have in the past Headline...
[HeadlineDJ] I'm involved with a DJ Exhibition over here in the UK and were doing a projection presentation during the event, be good to have
[HeadlineDJ] a nice voice / jingle intro to it
[Jim_Casey] Would they accept an "american voiceover" for a UK event?
[HeadlineDJ] Sure,, it would sound cool
[Cap] Latch on to Adobe Audition 1.5 and do it for yourself.
[Jim Casey] They don;t...BTW...I have 6 off season weddings booked at my prices...
[HeadlineDJ] It would sound generic to us lot, where as all the different accents in the UK are pretty noticable
[Jim Casey] it can be done...
Linear Mode
