Hi all,
Looking for some advice. I'm new to Mobile DJ'ing. For the first time a month or so ago, I DJ'ed for a friend's backyard party. I say "DJ'ing" lightly, because what I was using was an old Mac iBook with songs, an iPhone to request songs through iTunes DJ, and the friend's 75 watt guitar amplifier for the speaker. Yeah, I know, pretty basic . I had a mix of people, all the way up from 10 year olds to their parents at the party. By the end of the night, I had people commenting that I should DJ for so-and-so's wedding, birthday, etc. Needless to say, it went better than I expected, even with the pretty basic setup.
I'm now planning on getting more into it, and have been doing a lot of research on what I need to move forward. I have two weekend parties lined up for next month, both for friends to gain more experience. It will start off as a part-time basis, as I have a full-time job currently. I have the laptop and DJ controller, am using Serato, and am now at the point where I need to consider active/passive speakers. I'd prefer to keep the speaker/sub cost below $1,000. My main issue is that I'm not able to lift over 25 lbs or so, so that limits my options on speakers and rules out most, if not all, subwoofers.
My thoughts are that I should get a partner/partners that can help with this, or hire out moving heavier equipment to someone else. Does anyone have any suggestions/experience that would help on how I should approach this issue? I really want to get into this and succeed, so I'm interested in hearing what you guys/gals have to say.
Thanks in advance.
Matt
