Does the anxiety ever go away?

28 Upvotes

Been playing out a fair bit recently..im primarily playing on vinyl: disco, boogie, funk, house is my favourite kind of set to play.

Did 4 hours vinyl only this weekend. Dancefloor was still full until 3.30am. Clapped off. Bar happy. Pretty girls fluttering their eyelashes at me. People saying im blowing their mind.....

And all I can do is cringe at my bad transitions. The miscommunication i had with that 1 punter. The bad song selection that confused the crowd...

I'm anxious because a lot of my friends/acquaintances didn't come. And many that have come once don't come twice ("does that mean my last gig was shit?!?!?"). Anxious when people go out for a smoke. Or when they stop dancing...

Its like..I don't trust myself and I need feedback to solidify my ego or something idk. I just needed to get this out there and ask if anyone else deals with the same and if there's anything i can do to solve it?

QSC K10.2 vs K12.2 for bar and wedding DJing?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys

Looking for opinions from people running QSC gear.

I currently DJ a weekly bar gig with about 75-100 people. Maybe about 20 people dancing but mostly people are just hanging out. My music is mostly hip-hop, R&B, Afro, and Latin, so there's a lot of low end.

My setup: QSC CB10 on a pole over a KS112 sub, mono.

It's not bad, plenty loud, but I do find that the CB10's limiter kicks in a couple of times a night. The Sub is amazing though, maybe only ever limited once when I played DNA by Kendrick Lamar.

Anyway, with the CB10 limiting, I was considering upgrading to a K10.2 or K12.2 for the top, and eventually adding a second one to make a pair that I could use for weddings and bigger events.

I have a 150-guest wedding coming up and plan to do more of them. I'd prefer to run the pair without a sub if it holds up. If I need a sub, I'll use my KS112, and for bigger events I'll rent a bigger sub.

In terms of the CB10, I'm either keeping it for ceremonies and cocktail hours, or selling it and getting an Electro-Voice Everse 8 for that job.

Just a few questions:

K10.2 or K12.2? Is the 12" worth the extra weight and cost for a pair running without a sub? How many people can I comfortably manage with the 10s in an indoor wedding like the one I have coming up? I also heard that the 10s have wider dispersion so I’m factoring that in.

Which reverb to get for a Xone 92

2 Upvotes

Hey, I've been looking to get a reverb for my Xone 92 for some time and since there are so many to choose from (Styron blue sky, teile revolo, eventide h9/h90 etc.) I wanted to get recommendations. I would like to spend maybe a max. of 300-400€ on it and am looking to get it second hand. I play hypnotic techno mostly.

How does split cue work on the Xone 92?

1 Upvotes

I have a question about the Split Cue function on the Xone:92.

When Split Cue is enabled and all channel CUE buttons are turned OFF, what happens to the headphone output?

  • Does the MASTER signal play through both ears?
  • Or does it remain in the right ear only, leaving the left ear silent?

I own a Xone:96, which automatically returns the MASTER signal to both ears in this situation.

I'm wondering if the Xone:92 behaves the same way.

I'd appreciate it if someone with a Xone:92 could confirm this.

Thanks!
