I feel you. I have already got grief from people because I went from the Pioneer DDJ-1000 to the Denon SC6000's and X1800 mixer instead of waiting a few weeks for the Opus Quad or FLX-10. I bought the players and mixer for me. Not for other DJ's, not even for my clients. This is the first year I bought "toys" that I can also use for work. I don't care what people's opinions are. As long as you have the gear that accomplishes your objectives and your client is giving you 5 star reviews, everything else is secondary.
The FLX 10 is awesome - the Opus is great, but mince came damaged I had to send mine back. As a mobile DJ, I believe you will still need a computer wit the opus.
Totally get the request issue, I started using request now and being able to text back to folks that the song has been played or that is on the "do not play list" or something similar. It really has changed the dynamic since I'm not telling them no to their face when thier request sucks or doesn't fit the vibe.
Great. Video. If your looking for another wireless xlr system. Highly recommend SKAA Pro. Dillinger Labs StreetHeart and Dani work so well together. Haven’t had cutouts for over a year use. Doesn’t need line of sight and pairs great with EVERSE8
I appreciate your reviews and taking the time to share with us. I have the Xvive U3, but haven't really taken it for a test drive yet, and lav systems definitely seem like the way to go. The EVERSE 8 is above and beyond in performance for what it is, and I think the impact of how good it is will only enhance future Electro-Voice and other manufacturers' products. I'm interested in the 515/808 combo one of these days when the price and my budget align, or seeing what they, too, inspire other manufacturers to do. Agreed about the poles. Hopefully RCF will start crafting their own and/or designing some as sleek as their speakers. I think Gravity would be a good partner for them if they wanted to continue outsourcing. Both companies seem to put a lot of time and care into engineering/doing things a bit differently than others. Thank you for sharing, but also shame on you for not showing that FLX10 in action!!! This gig must have been before your embargo was lifted (or while there was still pizza in the box....).
Gravity is Adam Hall Group, and so is LD Systems, and with LD´s effort the last couple of years to get their Maui 28, Maui 44, ICOA series etc sold to as many DJ´s/musicians/bands as possible I dont think they want to waste time making hardware for RCF. Lets see if LD comes with a new "Maui 28" with a more powerful 12" sub than the 2x8" (in G2) at NAMM as Travis @EliteEventsEntertainment talked about yesterday, then it probably will go "right after the throat" on both Evolve 50 and Evox J8. Look at how the Maui 44 G2 (black AND white) made the Evox 12 look like a boring old 2015-model black column-array (white only on bigger special orders). I think LD and Gravity has tasted blood and are going for a bigger market share in the wedding DJ/band segment.
@@J-DJ We love buying speakers, and they gotta be watching the ones that catch fire and the ones that flop. Those 28 G2s definitely had my attention, but they were years old and I was worried about that sub.
@@AaronStrawn The 28 G2 with 2x8" sub was to weak compared to the top section. A 12" woofer with 3" voicecoil in a long-throw design with a lot of x-max so it can push some air would be nice, lets see what LD presents in the future, they need to bring it up to a worthy "little brother" standard to the 44 G2😜Maybe EV comes with an Evolve 70 with 15" sub, I like when there is competition and the R&D departments have to work late 😀
@@J-DJ I forgot that LD was part of AHG. Good call there. Maybe still some private label or outsourcing opportunity, similar to iPhone using Samsung displays. Just a thought with Gravity. There are others to partner with.
It really just comes down to you sound reinforcement objective. I was looking at the 515 but i've seen video of them clipping. Me personally I wouldn't spend that amount of money for a system just to limit when I push it. I do have a pair of Stagepas MKII that limit faster than I would like, but I use them for small event like birthdays and anniversaries under 70 people. I run a pair of Yamaha DZR15 tops and DXS18 XLF subs. Is it more work setting up maybe... Do they take up more space absolutely, but when the time comes to get some volume they deliver. As much as people want to know the best speakers to buy, the answer is there isn't a best. If your speakers get loud enough for your events perfect. If they don't buy something with more SPL. Good video Aaron.
Totally agree. The good news for me, I haven't seen the 515s hit red. And I had a pretty good sized group and room. I feel good about the moving forward, and I really do think they sounded amazing
Thank you very much!!! I have the Xvive U3's in my Amazon cart and was gonna by them later today. Maybe I will stick to the basics with a long XLR cord and wire management.
Haha I love your energy brother. Listening to you and Spinelli and I can tell we would cry dying jooking around. If you want to come over we can do a video in rcf945 and I have bassboss speakers coming this month
I LOVE the TT515, especially the 100degree dispersion, but wish for a non RD-net version, cheaper and to use with separate DSP--management and subs. The TT808 not so much 😏,44 lbs is great, 40-400Hz .......the 40Hz I guess is at -10dB (RCF wont tell), and up to 400Hz in a SUB = if you play Barry White all night you almost dont need the tops ! Okay 129dB but more punchy than deep. I saw Jani pack 2 x TT808 each side/per TT505 thats probably necessary and then ends at 88lbs of subs/side. The RCF SUB 702AS is also 129dB with 12" woofer, 40-120Hz (you will need tops for Barry🤣) ,40lbs and CHEAPER, TT515 70-20.000Hz so no problem x-over freq about 100Hz via Digital Speaker Management like DBX Driverack PA2 or similar (the dear Rick Webb has very good videos about the driverack). Rule of thumb: 2x8" equals about a 12" cone area, 2x10" = 15" (fx Bose F1 sub), 2 x 12" = 18". So what Jani did with 2 x TT808 each side was making a total subwoofer cone area of about an 18", and that is what that little TT515 deserves. Congrats on your new speakers, as a faithfull subscriber I will follow your giglogs in the future, if you start DJíng only 70years birthdays or don´t have any grannies shouting "turn down that bass" I know your TT setup is lacking the deeper low-end bass. Btw you can always buy a 18" inch subwoofer and hide under the dj-booth 🤣 Taste is different, you like dual 8" subs, DJ Solstice like dual 21", I´m in the middle: not as lazy as you but my back hurt to, and I´m not as young and strong as DJ Solstice.
Great,great but Rcf 702 is very bad sub, I love rcf I have 4 8003, 4 hdl6, 4 910 art, 4 j8 white and Qsc too 4 ks118 plus 2 ks112 plus 4 ks12.2 the point is we are looking portability. Jani said he use 4 tt808, Why so much money if there better option for less money 💰 and Dj Solstice 2 dual for wedding is extremely loud and unnecessarily for weddings. You make great point if RCF make non rdnet version and least 2 10 inches they will rules the wedding industry for sure. Great 👍 your comment.
yeahh i'm still baffled why someone would bring two dual 18's and the nxl24s for a small banquet room. Can't even take the PA levels loud enough for the speakers to sound good
@@throwawaymoola3106 agreed👍 dual 18's and nxl would be better for 400 guest wedding in high ceiling banquet hall, and they´ll do the job in a relaxed maner without any cliping light flashing at all. Flashing cliping lights is NO GO.
Those are getting a lot of interest. Yeah, just remember I didn’t have 400 on the dance floor and I had a filler speaker in the back. They got the job done
That's awesome, brother! I am definitely going to be watching you with this setup. I absolutely love my PRX1'S and I setup my s1pros with 2 sub1's in the crossover L1 mode on the subs. And was shaking the house. LOL and hands down my Bose F1system is incredible. ( BUT! ) you have me very intrigued by these new speakers and I am with you it's not about how much they cost or what others think. It's 💯 % what works for you. Keep them coming. I look forward to more of your content!
RCF TT 515/808 combo is touring grade high end super portable set. This is where it wins against the alternatives. You can throw this PA in the back of a damn mini cooper and roll out.
Your rechargeable Seinhesser batteries only last an hour? Mine lasts a whole gig with the mic on the whole time, just on mute when not in use. I usually still have 25% left on them at the end.
It was my bad. I stopped charging them when they blinked green. Only got them to 60%. Should be better now- my receiver even tells me how long and they read at 12 hours last night
@Aaron Strawn oh good! They're expensive, the better work! I leave them in the charger mounted inside my case, so one is always charging during the gig.
Nice video. I saw these speakerset and thought it maybe would be an upgrade for my Rcf Evox 12. I have the Evox for 6 years now, and maybe I buy a new set. But I saw these. But I hear you say that there are no big differences with your Evox J8 ? So I think that they won’t match my Evox 12.
Great review, thanks ! What do you think about using the 515's with bigger subs ? 12 inches or even 15's ? I wonder if they can hang with the 705 subs...
Those X viv 3 are only good in a very short distance I feel. I used it on last ceremony for mic receiver to speaker but was only a distance maybe 3 feet. Any distance I prefer the sennheiser g4 packs, I still have the g2s and they are flawless still.
Agree with you about requests, sometimes people just won't let it go and I'm like, bro it's a crap song from an album no one's ever heard of. I try to be honest with people though. If I'm definitely not going to play it I'll tell them so they are not waiting all night for it. I think that's better than lying to them.
@@AaronStrawn i had to call security on a guy who wouldn't leave me alone. I said, it's 4am our license ends at 4, I'm can't play anymore songs tonight. So he started singing it himself.
P.S. "Shuffle…. shuttle". Ha. That's why I tell people who come up to the booth to type it on their phone and show me instead me trying to decipher what they're saying (especially when they've been drinking!)
I want to keep that interaction as quick as possible. Last year I was handing out my ipad mini. That also worked as a deterrent. I don't want you yelling in my ear lady!
@@AaronStrawn Yep i use my iPad (facing them) for request, connected to a small monitor (facing me). And when they come back and say you didn't play my song, i say, Oh sorry i didn't have that one.
That's essentially what I did, cut it out of the video so I didn't void the warranty lol. I found another piece of felt and adjusted it to get it right.
Absolutely agree about the Xvive set...mine were cutting out during testing in my front yard, never took them to a gig. You ran the new Sennheiser EW-DX Dual receiver on the Everse? Was that on battery power? How long did it last? The specs on the Senn are a 1 amp draw, the Everse only says it outputs 0.5 amp...
Yep, ran it battery and it lasted 4-830. That's all I needed them for. When you plug in a receiver, the battery on the Everse automatically drops to 3/4ths. That freaked me out at first, but it doesn't keep draining
Hey Aaron l, does the Transmitter, that's getting the signal from the DJ desk, have a switch to select a Mic level or Line level input signal or does it switch automatically. Also I noticed Sennheiser have a version that comes with a beltpack style receiver to attach to Videocameras that can run off AA battery power, which looks handy size and portability wise. Thanks for the great... and hilarious content 🤘🏻
So what lighting do use for "dance floor lighting" if your couple doesn't want uplighting? I love my J8s, and can't wait to get my new Evox 12s in a venue. RCF sounds fantastic!
I really dont think this setup can hang at any latino wedding or CA wedding, unless youre just playing frank sinata and brown eyed girl. People here LOVE big sound. I can barely keep up with bands and we're rocking 2x 18" subs coupled together and 12" tops all EV EKX. I like RCF but its a high price point for not much bang.
It's still early. I'd like more gigs under the belt before I go nuts. Don't get me wrong, I'm in love. In fact, I've made love..with the 808. Don't tell the 515
It ain’t just you! But people who like RCF really like RCF and I’m in jersey so everybody has RCF out here but Price-Performance, idk for some guys money is not an object and if it expensive they are buying it even ttl4 been around for like 10 year and basically the same speaker but ehh it’s all fun
@@TheDjelements I get why you say that my ETX12 sjit on evolve 50s! I’d bet your evolve 60s had more low frequency output! I’m curious what your point was and can you articulate quantitatively how! I yet to see any one really be able to! What have seen is they have good highs vs. column arrays which yeah they should most point source boxes do! They have less throw against a column speaker so other than the tiny size not a whole lot especially considering their price
@@AaronStrawn I love the 2.4 Ghz spectrume, my Mics are Audio Technica System 10 Mics and I use them without any issues, and have been using them for years. But this transmitter is lacking. I think the metal housing has a lot to do iwth it. I had an instance where at 20 feet the xvibes began to drop out.
for $10k yeah you better hope its better then cheaper options.....system is for the minority not the masses, still a solid setup, based on the pics about 20-25 tables, wheres the 400 people?
Su comentario es tan poco necesario q no me provoca escribir en Ingles, No se si que eres ignorante. Pero en el mundo de bodas existen eventos de 100 a 150 personas máximo y este equipo que el mostró. Yo Entiendo que es más que suficiente para bodas, Que el lo llevo a un evento de 400 personas es su desicion y quedaron muy satisfechos por lo que se ve en el video. Este video muestra que su idea y la mía que buscamos portabilidad. Combierte a este RCF en una buena opción para dj de bodas. Y lo que nos de la real gana de trabajar....🙂🙂🙂
@@joserossy5085 a quen le importa. Vida sin problemas especialmente trabajando es mejor. Solomente mi opinion. I'm just saying the truth. Weddings involve a huge array of personalities and it's not a romp in the park nor is it really a creative art form either
@@amystrawn4986but does he have a full time job that takes care of health, dental, 401k, mortgage, bills, vacation time? Meaning can he afford to pay for the household on just djing or do you have a job to cover helath insurance, etc. I mean there are many dj's out there claiming to make good money, but when you do some research you find out that they are semi retired, already bought a home 10 years ago, the home was paid by their parents, the wife pays for medical insurances, the car and other vehicles are paid off or being paid by the spouse, things like that. What I'd like to know if you or yor family or his family didnt help him out and he just became a DJ from day one without any money.Thanks!
@@oldschooldjernie all Aaron. He has two successful companies, but DJing pays all the bills. I have been a stay at home mom for almost 13 years now. He’s never pressured me to fund his dreams. If I was funding it, there’s no way in hell I would have signed off on $8,000 speakers 😂 Even when building his companies, Aaron hustled to fund them. He worked hard, we saved up a nest egg for financial security, and went all in. Our families are great, but we’ve never relied on them for funding us. In fact, we have supported our family members when they needed it. I’m 1000% proud of what Aaron does and continues to do for our family.
Figured out the Sennheiser battery problem. I only charged them to 60%. They blinked green. Need a solid green. USER ERROR
Thanks for sharing !
I feel you. I have already got grief from people because I went from the Pioneer DDJ-1000 to the Denon SC6000's and X1800 mixer instead of waiting a few weeks for the Opus Quad or FLX-10. I bought the players and mixer for me. Not for other DJ's, not even for my clients. This is the first year I bought "toys" that I can also use for work. I don't care what people's opinions are. As long as you have the gear that accomplishes your objectives and your client is giving you 5 star reviews, everything else is secondary.
💯
I’m going the same way.
Also buying a set Rane twelves with Rane 72 mixer
The FLX 10 is awesome - the Opus is great, but mince came damaged I had to send mine back. As a mobile DJ, I believe you will still need a computer wit the opus.
@@Nogi-aka-DJNugz that thing is a beast
Totally get the request issue, I started using request now and being able to text back to folks that the song has been played or that is on the "do not play list" or something similar. It really has changed the dynamic since I'm not telling them no to their face when thier request sucks or doesn't fit the vibe.
I've used services like this during covid. What a great excuse that was right lol. Might go back to something like this
Just an Awesome video Aaron ..I just love watching your videos ..so much insights and so funny and real .. thank you ❤️👍☘️
This comment made my day, thank you
Bro you’re killing my with this cliffhanger shit! The people need to know…..I’m on my way to MN to find out. I like my 515 a lot.
it's the anticipation that makes it worth it
@@AaronStrawn LOL, same...we need to know. I'll be using the TT 515's this weekend but with my trusty ole KW181.
AARON!
I just bout a set of Evox 12's for the exact same reason: I love RCF and I f'n wanted them.
Boom! That's it right there. Why did I buy them? I wanted them. Good enough lol
Great video!!!
Thanks!
They need to make those in white…. ALL SPEAKER company’s need to do this from now on until the fade ends
I'd love to know the numbers on this- are white selling just as much or more than the black ones
I think the white fad will be done soon. At first, I was all for it. Now, meh. It’s ok.
I cannot stand white speakers or any white dj equipment for that matter. Just doesn't look professional to me.
Great. Video. If your looking for another wireless xlr system. Highly recommend SKAA Pro. Dillinger Labs StreetHeart and Dani work so well together. Haven’t had cutouts for over a year use. Doesn’t need line of sight and pairs great with EVERSE8

Buy a rubber sheet or pad and cut out some washers for the bottom of your speakers poles. Experiment with thickness so the handle is at the rear.

$8400 for the system… out of my sound-person for theatre/musician budget. But I do love your review and passion for your craft!! Thanks!!

Nice video. I saw these speakerset and thought it maybe would be an upgrade for my Rcf Evox 12. I have the Evox for 6 years now, and maybe I buy a new set. But I saw these. But I hear you say that there are no big differences with your Evox J8 ? So I think that they won’t match my Evox 12.
I wouldn't. You will be super bummed with the sub output coming from the 12s
Have you tried the 515’s with the Sub2? Saw another video of it and made me curious.
Not yet, but that is something I would like to try. Would just need so many cables to do that connection
@@AaronStrawn true. I have 4 Sub2’s and if I could get clarity without having to buy 808’s that would be awesome.
I have the 515’s and 808’s but I’m much happier with the 515’s paired with the TTS-15’s.
There needs to be a way to submit requests via a smartphone app, instead of harassing the DJ.
Check out Lime DJ.
Great review, thanks ! What do you think about using the 515's with bigger subs ? 12 inches or even 15's ? I wonder if they can hang with the 705 subs...
I just got a 18" sub to try this out
Hey, I did a gig this weekend. Went to the toilet and someone went over to my laptop stopped the song and put another one on. I was raging
Bruh....I honestly have been steaming since seeing this. I don't know how I would've reacted to that, but I also woulda been super pissed
Those X viv 3 are only good in a very short distance I feel. I used it on last ceremony for mic receiver to speaker but was only a distance maybe 3 feet. Any distance I prefer the sennheiser g4 packs, I still have the g2s and they are flawless still.
As Principle Rooney said, "I trust them about as far as I could throw them"
@@AaronStrawn what is the lav setup you use for wireless speakers?
Agree with you about requests, sometimes people just won't let it go and I'm like, bro it's a crap song from an album no one's ever heard of. I try to be honest with people though. If I'm definitely not going to play it I'll tell them so they are not waiting all night for it. I think that's better than lying to them.
Even when I say, I’ve never played that at a wedding my entire life. They’re still like…yeah so??
@@AaronStrawn i had to call security on a guy who wouldn't leave me alone. I said, it's 4am our license ends at 4, I'm can't play anymore songs tonight. So he started singing it himself.
@@danielharphamgist8029 Ok, that I'd be fine with lol
P.S. "Shuffle…. shuttle". Ha. That's why I tell people who come up to the booth to type it on their phone and show me instead me trying to decipher what they're saying (especially when they've been drinking!)
I want to keep that interaction as quick as possible. Last year I was handing out my ipad mini. That also worked as a deterrent. I don't want you yelling in my ear lady!
@@AaronStrawn Yep i use my iPad (facing them) for request, connected to a small monitor (facing me). And when they come back and say you didn't play my song, i say, Oh sorry i didn't have that one.
What about a spacer for the pole adapter to get the screw where you want? Like a rubber washer or 3d printed spacer?
That's essentially what I did, cut it out of the video so I didn't void the warranty lol. I found another piece of felt and adjusted it to get it right.
Absolutely agree about the Xvive set...mine were cutting out during testing in my front yard, never took them to a gig. You ran the new Sennheiser EW-DX Dual receiver on the Everse? Was that on battery power? How long did it last? The specs on the Senn are a 1 amp draw, the Everse only says it outputs 0.5 amp...
Yep, ran it battery and it lasted 4-830. That's all I needed them for. When you plug in a receiver, the battery on the Everse automatically drops to 3/4ths. That freaked me out at first, but it doesn't keep draining
@@AaronStrawn Cool, that's an unexpected plus that it seems to keep track of the power draw on the battery.
Aaron you are cracking me up man. What are you using instead of the Xvive U3 sorry I didn't quite understand, thanks from Spain 👍🏻
Here you go- ua-cam.com/users/shorts2TP5qi0jEyY?feature=share
@@AaronStrawn Class cheers Aaron 👍🏻
Hey Aaron l, does the Transmitter, that's getting the signal from the DJ desk, have a switch to select a Mic level or Line level input signal or does it switch automatically. Also I noticed Sennheiser have a version that comes with a beltpack style receiver to attach to Videocameras that can run off AA battery power, which looks handy size and portability wise. Thanks for the great... and hilarious content 🤘🏻
How do the compare to the Bose L1 pro 32 and Sub 2?
The 32s spread the sound out more evenly. But these are way louder and crisper, like it sounds as if the artist is performing live.
Okay I have a request can you please play Nickelback! OmG rockstar is my fav. Haha We need a throw down video J8 vs Ev 50!
Lol, that’s exactly how it goes
Who makes the J8s?
@@wellnesswisdom-vi2sb rcf
I’ve just bought the Rcf 705 active 15” which I’d like to pair with the 515? Would that work as a balanced pair?
Not sure bro- I'd check with a dealer. I know there are a bunch of guys out there pairing that 505 with bigger subs
So what lighting do use for "dance floor lighting" if your couple doesn't want uplighting? I love my J8s, and can't wait to get my new Evox 12s in a venue. RCF sounds fantastic!

Aaron have a note pad let them write it down give them thumbs up and say i got you
I'm gonna go back to handing my ipad. Way less stressful lol
Are you using Sennheiser G4 bodypacks or the IEM system for your wireless speaker set up?
Just bodypacks. Have a 1/8" to XLR adapter that goes to my Aux in the mixer
I really dont think this setup can hang at any latino wedding or CA wedding, unless youre just playing frank sinata and brown eyed girl. People here LOVE big sound. I can barely keep up with bands and we're rocking 2x 18" subs coupled together and 12" tops all EV EKX. I like RCF but its a high price point for not much bang.
You're right. They are no where near what an 18 sub can do
😂😂😂😂
Maybe it’s just me, but your first impressions don’t add up to the price tag of those speakers,
It's still early. I'd like more gigs under the belt before I go nuts. Don't get me wrong, I'm in love. In fact, I've made love..with the 808. Don't tell the 515
It ain’t just you! But people who like RCF really like RCF and I’m in jersey so everybody has RCF out here but Price-Performance, idk for some guys money is not an object and if it expensive they are buying it even ttl4 been around for like 10 year and basically the same speaker but ehh it’s all fun
I’ve been using evolve 50s for 3 years hundreds of weddings and these rcf tops shit on them
@@TheDjelements I get why you say that my ETX12 sjit on evolve 50s! I’d bet your evolve 60s had more low frequency output! I’m curious what your point was and can you articulate quantitatively how! I yet to see any one really be able to! What have seen is they have good highs vs. column arrays which yeah they should most point source boxes do! They have less throw against a column speaker so other than the tiny size not a whole lot especially considering their price
@@AaronStrawn ...and the man wonders why the speaker pole mount is wonky....
How would this system stack up to the evox 12s ? Probably a lot louder ? Am I wrong ? Deeper bass ?
Never heard the 12s in person. They're supposed to be comparable, but I'm sure the 12s have an edge on bass. 15" subs vs (2) 8" subs
What is "Tu-kee Covers?"
Where did you get the flat XLR cable?

refuse to play fkn sweet caroline
It's a straight Banger in my area
It's not a party till someone takes off their shirt.
Agree 💯
your the DJ and not the crowd, You take the request but its up to you to play it or not.
Yeah I know
I also love RCF fvck any column speaker no matter the brand!!!
lol
Xvibes are not that good I agree
Just not getting the range to make them useful
@@AaronStrawn I love the 2.4 Ghz spectrume, my Mics are Audio Technica System 10 Mics and I use them without any issues, and have been using them for years. But this transmitter is lacking. I think the metal housing has a lot to do iwth it. I had an instance where at 20 feet the xvibes began to drop out.
for $10k yeah you better hope its better then cheaper options.....system is for the minority not the masses, still a solid setup, based on the pics about 20-25 tables, wheres the 400 people?
There were about 35 tables there that night. I ain't lyin bro lol
Xvive drop out is real. They suck
Done with them. Only using it for a mic at super short distances
I’m not getting these
I’m not getting these
I will not buy these

Post the tracking number, let's get excited together
@@AaronStrawn 😅
Another over driven system
What do you mean?
Stop doing weddings bro and just do kids parties. Seriously
Su comentario es tan poco necesario q no me provoca escribir en Ingles, No se si que eres ignorante. Pero en el mundo de bodas existen eventos de 100 a 150 personas máximo y este equipo que el mostró. Yo Entiendo que es más que suficiente para bodas, Que el lo llevo a un evento de 400 personas es su desicion y quedaron muy satisfechos por lo que se ve en el video. Este video muestra que su idea y la mía que buscamos portabilidad. Combierte a este RCF en una buena opción para dj de bodas. Y lo que nos de la real gana de trabajar....🙂🙂🙂
@@joserossy5085 a quen le importa. Vida sin problemas especialmente trabajando es mejor. Solomente mi opinion. I'm just saying the truth. Weddings involve a huge array of personalities and it's not a romp in the park nor is it really a creative art form either
His six figure income says he should probably stick with doing weddings…
@@amystrawn4986but does he have a full time job that takes care of health, dental, 401k, mortgage, bills, vacation time? Meaning can he afford to pay for the household on just djing or do you have a job to cover helath insurance, etc. I mean there are many dj's out there claiming to make good money, but when you do some research you find out that they are semi retired, already bought a home 10 years ago, the home was paid by their parents, the wife pays for medical insurances, the car and other vehicles are paid off or being paid by the spouse, things like that. What I'd like to know if you or yor family or his family didnt help him out and he just became a DJ from day one without any money.Thanks!
@@oldschooldjernie all Aaron. He has two successful companies, but DJing pays all the bills. I have been a stay at home mom for almost 13 years now. He’s never pressured me to fund his dreams. If I was funding it, there’s no way in hell I would have signed off on $8,000 speakers 😂 Even when building his companies, Aaron hustled to fund them. He worked hard, we saved up a nest egg for financial security, and went all in. Our families are great, but we’ve never relied on them for funding us. In fact, we have supported our family members when they needed it. I’m 1000% proud of what Aaron does and continues to do for our family.
Nope. Not for 400. You are short changing the music.
Just remember, there are never that many people on the dance floor at a wedding
@@AaronStrawn agreed. Also (IMO) it’s better to go off room size instead of crowd size when selecting speakers.
