Hope to see more

[LightingShowroom]

I liked this

[rythmlover88]

I liked your set up, I have a question with that many lights as a dj how do you ensure you are not gonna blow the fuses, like how do you check with the venue and stuff, how do you connect your lights, to different outlets...etc

thank you

[FunTraxDJ]

DMX + Hazer = awesomeness.

[directsound]

@FunTraxDJ THANKS

DJ Mikey Mike

[wifiled]

You have to check out wifiled.com completely wireless led lighting fixtures from Germany.

[djcoolcliff]

Really nice vid! What kinda of LED lights are you using on the walls?

[directsound]

@djcoolcliff CHAUVET Par 56

MM

[WindyCityMix]

question. Have you done or can you do a comparison with the new Chauvet slimpar 56 and the uplighting fixture that you commonly use? Just wondering....most of my purchases for me are not done without a MM direct sound review! lol

[DJFrederickHart]

Well done. I'm glad to see your speakers positioned at the right spot. Most DJs wouldn't flank the stage with the speakers but instead place them at the edges of the DJ table.

[zeljr]

Guys I'm just getting in the uplight game..... What is the most budget friendly way the go?

[feedyourspeakers]

great lighting setup man. very well done. Nice mood.

[greeneyedboriqua]

I love when your lights change colors at 6:08. That is HOT!!!!

[greeneyedboriqua]

DJ Mikey Mike... when you play Suavemente... say "WEPA". :)

[Juven626]

good videos you have there. just one thing. ive been searching through the vids that you have and i cannot find what im looking for. regarding the uplighting, would u be able to do a video on how you connect all the uplighting.. how do u make it work. is it dmx or master/slave. can you plz explain? thank you

[gherretto]

wow great vids Dj Mikey Mike I started watching your vids today for the first time ever and I just can't stop...been at it all day...oh and that song you played at the end it's not mexican ;-) so the screaming don't really go with it..lol

[543blackshadow]

how do you set your dmx cords? do you have the signal go out from the controller and like a 100 ft cord to the first one till the last one? great set up btw

[djcadillac1]

What is your take on the new Chauvet Slim Par 56? Would the effect be comparable to that in this video. Looks great btw and I appreciate the informative videos you post.

[directsound]

@djcadillac1 I like them very nice

MM

[DJkarrottop]

I really like watching ur gig logs. Im am 16 and tring to get my equitment together i was wondering what u would suggest i buy first?

[metome142]

What lights are used for the up lighting in this video? What brand do you recommend to use? Can you link light to light for the power?

[directsound]

Par 56 and Par 30 led rain yes they can be link sort of

MM

[YOUNGK1100]

@directsound What state are you in? My fiance and I will be getting married in July and looking for a DJ... that's the reason for me browsing youtube... getting ideas

[directsound]

Is this Allen if so I just sent you some info but I need a bit from you..I am in your area and would love to do your event!

thanks

DJ Mikey Mike

[metome142]

Thanks for the reply! Are you using Chauvet? Can you daisy chain the power? I've seen some videos on YouTube about how the DMX cords won't fit under the Chauvet 56.

[directsound]

yES cHAUVET and on most you can link power some versons dont its hit or mis on the older models and if you use a 90 degree plug you will be fine

MM

[iceman977th]

Man, I wish I could win a uplighting package (literally). LED PAR cans are so expensive :(

[djjagged7]

Love the hooting and hollering on the intro of Suavamente!

[iceman977th]

Think you can give me a hint on where to get cocktail music like @ 2:40?

[directsound]

I just listin to alot of Jazz music you can get it from Ituns or subsceibe to Prim Cuts Jazz or MP3 disc if you want me to have them contact you send me a PM with your contact info

mm

[jaguilar2008]

as a hispanic dj i realllly hate american weddings or parties because the people dont dance its like they care what people think of them or something thats why i try to stick to hispanic parties

[wild300zx]

WTF guys? You have nerve leaving those kinda comments when you don't know what the situation was for Mike was at the time? You don't know what the client might have requested or anything to voice such opinions and they looked pretty pleased to me. All part of posting on here, I guess you have to take the good with the bad but I would think the so called pros would know better? FYI, those Par leds are not cheap! Thanks for posting Mike.

[directsound]

Its all good ...Your right the client asked for a few flashie lights for the dance floor and I felt it needed uplighting but Im not a big fan ether of the LED dots every where expeciley when the are in stand alone and not run DMX to have some sort of a meaning ....Thanks for trying to defend  me but in this case I have to agree with them although I think they could have handelded it better

thanks for the suport

DJ Mikey Mike

[stevecopping1981]

I agree with the other comment too about LED lights like the revo... a moonflower effect looks so much better for a very simlar low cost. And why do you put everything on individual stands? A tripod stand dedicated entirely to a single revo??

[stevecopping1981]

You could have had two T-bars either side of the Top table and it would have looked so much better and professional and the moving heads would have been pointing down onto the dancefloor instead of up. Everything just looks like its been dumped in its position temporarily. Also, why was there an awkward silent spot at 4:14?? Rule 1 of the DJ... Avoid dead silences at all costs! Give these suggestions ago if you think I'm right, if not, tell me to f*** off. :-)

[jazzyjaxroadshow]

Right NORMALLY i hate LED and here is no eception, the up lights look really nice but as floor lights go LED is a massive NO-NO makes the set up look cheap! You can tell its a profesional job but the LED floor lights bring it wayyy down great set up on the whole :)

[cos316316]

Nice Production Micky Mike! Which light did you use to shoot up at the ceiling at 4:50? Its awesome...

[directsound]

ADJ ReveoIII the colored lights and a star ball is the white dots

mm

[minitecaloudside]

[directsound]

B52's- Love Shack

[FreezEntertainment]

lol how did u do that at 9:05 haha that was sick

[onairdjguy]

I respected him UNTIL he did that

[cameratutorials]

What are the stands the revo 3s are on?

[firedoc333]

What DMX controller are you using? Great setup...really adds to the venue.

[directsound]

I think I was useing a Martin Freekie DMX controller but Now I only use ShowXpress PC based control!!!!

MM

[simonhyp]

what is the model for this uplight?

[directsound]

Par 56 LED Rain from Chavuet

[george013]

Whats that song you played right after Mony Mony? I'm new at dj'ing and I'm just trying to get a good list of songs.

[Mastersonics]

Let me tell you, I'm looking for a backdrop effect for my pop music cover band and I'm thinking doing uplighting as well but with a few other lighting fixtures for the show band look.

keep up the great style and great informative videos on You tube, thanks, Charles

[directsound]

thanks Charles!!! I shure it will look great!

mm

[Mastersonics]

Hey Mikey Mike

This is the nicest uplight so far I've seen

it goes well with the occasion and look simple and neat.

nice choice and good taste of lighting.

[directsound]

Thank you. I love to change up my show Im going for a eligent look for each bride ...they shop with there eyes and they love Decor lighting not the wild club look but with the combo I have created I can do a bit of both ...Thanks for he nice comments

MM

[toddlarboy]

[toddlarboy]

Chavuet

[qbanboy17]

Niiiiceee!!! good job man, hey do you charge for up lighting or is all included in the same package??Thanks!

[sodjs]

Kooolll maybe i will marrie again,!!!!,

[motojeff]

I really like your lighting system. That is some of the best lighting I have seen a DJ do lately. So many forget to make it clean and have trusses full of cheap flashing lights. Nice going. Jeff

[directsound]

Thanks !!!

Yes Sometimes less is more even though I had about 15 uplights there their wrer only 3 different types of lights

DJ Mikey Mike

[SnakeBiteCC]

Nicely done.

[DJRICHARD210]

great light show!

[FloridaWeddingDJ]

Very nice! Good job with wire management... DMX uplights can get messy, you know what I'm talking about! :)

[directsound]

Yes I have seen your videos and you do a great job !!!!

thanks DJ mikey Mike

[allmc23]

[directsound]

Thank you!

[Electricmicey]

As simple as that is it looks great. Good work!!

[directsound]

thanks

[worldmusic123]

Mike my girfriend says you look naked without a facade in front of the DJ table, but she likes your cases and uplighting.

[directsound]

Thanks I like to be as close to the croud as possable and a facade blocks me to much when I am performing I like to do skits ,Dance , or just stay in touch with the people

Thank you for the comments I love it

DJ Mikey MIke

[jimg76]

Thanks for the great video, Mike. I'm gonna have to invest in a few led uplights now

[directsound]

you will love them and want more!!!thanks DJ Mikey Mike

[wickedsounz]

The room looked superb. Congratulations on a fantastic up-lighting job.

[directsound]

Thank you very much!!!!!!!! MM

[jtprodj]

I really like the way you try to position the up-lighting behind you at your events! Very nice! The up-lighting has became very popular down here as well. We are located in Birmingham, AL

[directsound]

[grafxnrg]

This video inspired me. I went and purchased 6 Chauvet ColorSplash DMX LED Par Cans. I plan to purchase another 4-6 once I get some money back on my investment. Seems, like people will pay EXTRA for the uplighting effect. Thanks Mikey Mike for this video!

[directsound]

[dirtydogdiscos]

[directsound]

the Song is Elvis Crespo - Suavemente have fun with your up-lighting DJ Mikey Mike

[FunkyRob]

Damn, that uplighting in the section where the ceiling is shorter makes for a crazy cool effect. Classy too.

[directsound]

I love it !  Thanks DJ Mikey Mike

[ScottishDeeJay]

Simply one of the best gig logs on YouTube ever, Mike. Damn, Bro, you are setting the bar high for all of us (and rightly so)!

[bodetyl]

what moving heads are you useing

[directsound]

ADJ Accu Spot 2's I painted the covers black

[WeeShooey]

Great video and up lighting looks fab. Do you think guests know up lighting is part of your show and not the venue. or does it matter?

[directsound]

I thing they know as soon as the dancing starts I know the Bride knows because they know what the room looks like

[djbigron]

that was a great video. That up lighting looked great.

[directsound]

thank you !!!

[benwms]

I Love the Up-Lighting.

[directsound]

Thank you!

[RockTheHouse4]

very nice, that uplighting really complements the room, it seems like it should be there, i wonder how many halls will be putting in their own permanent uplighting.

[directsound]

I hope None!

[DJCyRo]

Excellent uplighting!  Superior gig!

[directsound]

Thank you!!

[djscience35]

love the Up-Lighting  look cool

[directsound]

Thank you!

[jasperibe]

[djtavi77]

yeah the up-lighting looks really awesome!!!do you charge per can or you do a package???

great gig log as always man!! congrats!!

[briansredd]

Your uplighting looks friggin amazing, man! Thanks for putting some ideas in my head :)

Damnit, now I have to go out and buy more par cans!

Ahh Suavamente!  Mucho Bueno musica, Mike!

[directsound]

Thanks! I think I need I need 10 more, dam thats going to leave a mark!

[evolutiondjcompany]

Very Impressive!

That can easily spike the price another $200-$400 for the up lighting. Well thats what I would charge.

I am strongly looking into up lighting..I am trying to get my GC Pro guy to give me a good deal on 8 led par cans.

-DJ CHICO-

THE EVOLUTION DJ COMPANY

[directsound]
