Mexican DJ complaining he won't have enough power here to run his speaker setup even though he's using 3 circuits. I'm like, wtf that should be plenty. He says he'll have to keep the volume low.

I walk in an hour later and this dude has SIX TALL CABINET SPEAKERS. WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NEED THAT MUCH? We're talking like, middle school gymnasium size for this room lol. These are like 1.5m tall speakers lol.

(not the actual speakers but this is what they look like essentially)

@icedquinn low enough for the bass to shake the lights in the hallway xD I swear man, all of the DJs that people hire have this insane gear that they're packing with really loud audio and butt pucker bass, but they really do not know how to use it xD the guy here a week ago said his gear tripped the breaker at a really nice venue here (Deer Valley, they do Sundance Film Festival stuff there) and blamed it on the venue xD then took nearly two hours to break everything down. Good times! Then they're always like forgetting extension cables or speaker stands... Kind of crazy.

@beardalaxy meanwhile in quinnland, digitone just plugged in to desktop speakers
@beardalaxy i guess music in general lends itself to this. they get hired so they have money and so they can pay in to more gear. so they have 2,000$ record controllers and the 500$ software and all the expensive mixers and shit. hell there's videos all over the place of people with multi thousand dollar euroracks and their music is hot garbage :blobcatgoogly:
@beardalaxy i noticed in many things the amount of tools somebody needs to get the job done increases as they go from noob to competent but then the long march from competent to master sees them return to making the whole album in a cave with a box of scrap and a tape deck.

@icedquinn I play outdoors and I use one speaker at like 1/4 it's volume, maybe less xD

@beardalaxy maybe one day i will get some fancy speakers. my interface has two rca ports for them :ablobcatnomcookie:
