okay guys im after some equipment... ive had virtual dj on my computer for a long time and ive spent a lot of time mixing things up and playing for small house party just through peoples own speaker systems and so o, i live in a pub and our dj has stopped playing every friday night and my mum wants me to continue with it... but im completely lost on what i need.. the only thing we have are lights, laptop and music...
the business will be paying for the hardware but i don't know what to get... :/
i also want to be able to run mics through the system...
The help is very much appreciated

1) Hercules RMX.
2) QSC RMX2450.
3) JBL JRX115 (2 of 'em).
4) Speaker Stands (2 of 'em).
5) Cables from amp to speakers.
6) Legal copy of VDJ.
This should be enough to start with at your pub.

get your mum to look after the main component that will make all of this tick, tell her she needs to invest in a legal copy of vdj, she can't expect to run a business using iffy software.
install skype if you don't have it, get it at www.skype.com (it's free) and contact me at Firetext.VDJ.Support or PM me, if you can't do that use my blog.
will be a lot easier to run through suppliers depending on your budget for you if you want.

If you buy the speakers and amp I recommended, you will need x2 Binding Post to 1/4" cables. Or x2 Neutrik Speakon to Neutrik Speakon cables.

No. It's a pub, a place of business. It's going to look and sound like crap.

if you need something by friday- look at renting from a pro shop- and that will also give you ideas on what you want to end up with inside the pub.

100W and 10" speakers.... Hmmm.
That might work, for a small pub. No more than a 50 people max capacity, though.

if your meaning the link i gave you ask the guy at the store for prices on a suitable amp and at the same time ask on prices for a graphic equaliser, then ask whats the best price he can do the whole deal for.
I have spoken to him in the past but don't know him personally, gear is good, just have to use your bartering skills.
good luck.

How Exciting Roo...
All that new stuff... must nearly be Crimbo!!!
If your still looking for bits and bobs then checkout GumTree or the Friday-Ad for 2nd hand stuff under Audio or Disco Equipment.
I just bought 2 gemini 202's and a good mixer in a double deck and mixer flight case and loads ov cool disco lights for 300!!! Be carefull though, try ALL the stuff first. But if you are carefull then they are a couple ov good sources ov 2nd hand stuff.
Are you using a laptop or PC?
Hope that helps some. Good luck on your big adventure.
