    Great job. Normally I use my van, but I bought a hatch back (not as nice as yours) for just that reason. Nothing fit in my civic. Last year we had 2 emergency weddings only a week apart. Wasn't sure what we were getting ourselves into, but we crushed them and had the same wedding coordinator at both. Now she is our best friend. You never know what opportunities will arise and you never know when you might be the one needing help. "Let's build our industry stronger together." Priceless.

      Thanks bro!!! I have a Honda Pilot but my wife decided sh wanted to drive it that day because it just happed to be my weekend off. When I got that call it was gears turning in my head 1000 miles per hour on how to make it happen. I looked at my Z and started playing Tetris figured out what was it where. Lol I'm glad you developed a relationship with the coordinator. Keep the party going bro!!!

    Imagine how much cleaner this setup would look with zipties. I’ll never understand people that use Velcro, you’ll never get that tight, locked look that zipties provide.
    Great work in a pinch tho! Venue was way too big and open though - not conducive to dancing

    • @gfire_productions
      @gfire_productions  Місяць тому

      Thanks for watching DJ Solice. I think any look for a set up is subjective. The only people with cares about zip ties vs velcro is us DJs. Besides, I got skills on the velcro lol. Velcro can be used multiple time and zip ties once. You have some great set ups though.

    Who made the emergency call? The DJ that was originally booked or someone from the Wedding party? That's just bizarre that you'd get a call the day of an event of that magnitude.

    • @gfire_productions
      @gfire_productions  Рік тому +2

      It was another DJ company. They're assigned dj had an injury on the day of the wedding and I just happen to be off when they called. In the past I've also gotten calls from the bride both days before and on the day off. Things happen so rather the DJ have an accident or ditch a bride for a higher paying event, If I'm available, I'll cover it. That's DJs supporting DJs and building our industry stronger together.

    I see you know your Shure QLXD mics! Have you had any drop outs using the QLXD and would you prefer them over the ULXD4 mic? Thanks

    • @gfire_productions
      @gfire_productions  Рік тому +1

      Hello Michael, and thanks for watching bro. I initially wanted the ULXD but Shure said it would be unnecessary for what I do because I’m primarily at DJ type of events. Both ULXD and QLXD use half wave antennas so they’re both or as strong with signal. They also both are metal, body construction, and or net workable. Lastly, they both use shores rechargeable batteries, which met my needs. So I went with the QLXD because it does everything I want it to do for my needs versus to you. Alexis has a few more extra features with information on the screen. Just to be absolutely clear I have used the queue LXT microphones at concerts with absolutely no problems and I feel 100% confident to have that microphone to a celebrity. I do not have dropout issues with these microphones because I do proper frequency, scan and coordination when I use multiple microphones in a given area.
