DJs listen up!! Quick life hack to get rid of coiled cables when they are new. Put them out in the sun on the driveway or porch straight and extended. Leave them in the sun for like 4-5 hours and you have some nice loose “baked” cables

Gonna try this

Really enjoying ur vids thanks for your input

Before the façade days, I would coil the cables and extensions / plug ins gathered under the table and place them in a small carry bag. Keeps them out of sight and all you may see is a tool bag with wires going into it.

Great job Barr!!!!

For some tidying of cables, and for keeping them neat when packing up and storing, I use Velcro cable ties... they work great, and can get 50 for like $4.... one roll is green and one roll is black... working on using the 2.colors to my advantage, like grey for power and DMX, black ones on audio... Thanks for the channel, happy holidays!

Professional set-up. Nice video 😎🎧

Great video! Thank you very much! Very informative and insightful!

Good job Barr!

I love this video!!! I went with the same Mackie thump 15A’s and now added a mackie thump 18 subwoofer.

Really good tips, the cable organization and the DMX for the lights are both of capital importance! Brings a pro look to the setup even when the DJ is not using the most expensive top of the line equipment. A tip the I want to share with you, adding Velcro straps to the speaker stand you can keep all the cables organized and is a permanent solution, that’s what I have in all my speaker stands. Thank you for your tips, I hope my recommendations will be useful for you guys.

Yep Henry I was going to say the same thing. Velcro cable ties stop your cables getting all gummed up with Gaff tape adhesive

Love it. I would get rid of the pars for the Chauvet wash fx2...that’s really all you need for lights...dope content bro

This is exactly what I'm looking for. I have everything but speakers, but I feel like this setup might help me with something I might have missed. Trying to go from streaming to IRL dj gigs

Great video

Thanks for the idea.

That jawhn definitely is clean i like the way you run that tape to hide your power wire i got to learn that....nice video (I LIKE)

Great 👍 stuff thank you 🙏

DJ Tip: If you are using a scrim table cloth & all the cables are showing underneath, I started placing my black speaker or stand bags or even a black box crate to help hide my cables. i just tucked everything in to look elegant & made sure it wouldn't be a problem with the cables.

I like the idea of using gaff tape but I find that gravity clips and reusable Velcro zip ties work better - they’re reusable, faster to use, and the zip ties are also easily used to tape coiled cables for storage too.

Agree. And what very few folks talk about is how Gaff tape has a tendency to leave some of it's glue on the cables and how with time and regular use, those cables become ugly and sticky.

Glad to see you knit picking over the cables. It really matters

I'm glad I found that idea how you can mount your DJ light into a speaker stand pole 4:21

The lights are dope 👌 spacial in blue

Thanks DJ Barr for sharing a lot of great knowledge to the new DJs starting out. What are your thoughts on the Mackie Thump speakers? I currently own two of the Thump-15A. I find that the highs on the speakers are a little to much when all the EQ knobs on my DJ controller are in the middle. I find myself having to lower the highs knobs slightly.

I have the same setup except the speakers are different (EVs) that I use for house, graduations and other parties. Great video!!

What do you use to set up your controller to be speakers?

Looks Great with the Facade, a very professional looks. First part with just the table would be used for a bar or some outdoor events where the terrain isn’t even. I would never use my facade in a bar, just to many people enjoying Adult beverages which can end up on the facade, another reason people like to lean on them.

Gaff tape and roll up runners work wonders, I run twin turbo sound IP1000 speakers, light and super loud

cool video , thx

Good work

No photographer is gonna try to touch that. I can relate! Great video.

I would suggest electrical tape instead of gaff on the speaker stands. E-tape is cheaper and allows you to save the gaff for taping cables to the floor.

Gravity Clips and Velcro straps that stay in place on the cables and on the stands. 💪😁

Barr thank you for doing this video for the community. Solid set up and video!

I'd suggest reusable cable ties. You'd save your gaffa for floor cables. Are you planning on using this set up? Or is it for another dj that works for you?

I need those mackie thumps Dj barr

Great video. Just be aware those Mackie 12" Speakers prob get to somewhere around 120db SPL and won't do an outdoor event with more than 40 people.

Velcro Cable ties and zip ties for those things to stay tied. You cn also look into the cable covers for items crossing thresholds. Too many options to get that clean look. Effort!!!

That is a dope set up for a beginner DJ. Nevertheless it will be great to find a way to lift the controller a little bit and prevent a backache.

I’m a mackie thump guy, let me tell ya, another dj who came over one day was actually impressed with the sound quality for the price......and he runs k12.2s. How much are ya gonna want for those 12s?

You can also add scrims for speaker stands...

Hi there! I know this isnt as beginner friendly but I wanted to ask where you get the co2 tanks for the co2 jets. Thanks

Hey bro how do u rate as in sound quality of the Msckie Thump 15a?? As a backup for my Ev Zlx 15

Barr I need to know what type of laptops and dj controllers outthere that is affordable and reliable for first time digital dj finally converting over from cds.thanks for your input

you could use ball ties instead of tape for the cables, less messy, less residue etc

how does the bass sound on these will this sound good in small hall with high ceilings. I got two Samson Expedition old speakers need to do a small halloween party 150 ppl any recommendations for setup. Need the bass to hit hard. One subwoofer or two for small budget. I have the Rane one what wires would I need??

Really clean setup but the stickers on the speakers for me is a no go (: And with powered speakers you sometimes have an LED light at the front that's lit, I also allways try to turn that off. Even took some tops and subs apart in the past to physically disconnect the LED.

How did you get the lights in front of table to lay flat with the xlr wires coming out the back of them???

Where can I get the attachment for the lights to put on the pole? I can't find them anyway. Thanks

Please share how you run the ddj through your Mackie 5

Anyone knows whats the best budget bass 12'' speakers for small bar or party without use of subwoofer?

Velcro straps on the vertical poles would probably be cheaper and look better in the long run vs gaff tape. But you do need the tape for the floor. Last thing you forgot - insurance!! You need insurance in case someone trips on your cables or a speaker falls on a drunk dancer.

Anybody know where I can find those lights? I can't find lights that attach to your speaker poles anywhere. Or do you have to buy a clamp to attach to it or something??

for weddings do you have to 18 inch subs or is 15 inch ok to use

Clean setup I still can’t believe Barr bought everything keep it up 🤜🏻

what should I do if some venues doesn't allow gaff tape

Definitely looks better with a facade. I went facadeless this weekend for an impromptu event and man I regretted. Not only would it have looked better but it also helps keep people at a distance...

Amazing bro

That's a great set up but can I say I've seen in most DJ set ups the equipment is too low! Save yourself years of possible back and hand issues and raise everything up to a better more comfortable level. If you are constantly bending over or leaning over to use the controls or computer (even a little bit) its gonna its got hurt you in the long run. Also if you are constantly looking down you are not eyeing the crowd or dancefloor. Just a suggestion.

I prefere a setup without a fassad. The people can see, how you’re working what they like.

Pero hay salones que no tedejan usar el tape que porque les vas a dañar la carpeta ohh la pared😏🙉

I like the clean look with a facade but most of my clients don’t want/like it because they want to see me DJ, with the facade its no show. I’m struggling finding something that works for both, and still is portable. Any tips?

Maybe table with a cover, I use an Ultimate Supports cover for my 5ft table.... it isn't tight and stretch fit like the scrim shown here... and then put your setup inside a flight case with a sliding laptop shelf ... then it can really clean up the look of what is on top of the table. Just my thoughts...

That moment you realize you said the wrong last name during your Grand Intro, despite already addressing them correctly multiple times and having just looked at their name seconds before the announcement ...... One of the worst feelings ever. It happens. :O I've only done it once and, well, God - it hurt my soul.

I like the setup without the façade… letting the crowd see your hand movements, is part of the show!…

I have all them things but different lights and speakers great gear

I would suggest keeping your cables in a black tote, flip it over and use it to hide the cables under the table. It will clean up that problem area on the cheap.

Id say make the facade shorter

For this $1,500 system did you not use a subwoofer?
