Hi over the last 20 years i've DJ'ed at great venues and some really bad ones and I think its now time name and shame the venues with really bad sound systems and busted light rigs. The most common problem i find is no tweeters working or systems set up when the venue was empty so when you more the 20 on the dance floor you can hear a thing. Currently I have my 1k system in one venue when the sound system has the music by the bar louder than the dance floor  and the company will not pay for it the by adjusted as its controlled by a sound web with no end user access  . Another venue I DJ at has a nice light rig but none of it works from some blown bulbs to a complete power fail on one part of the rig (There are 6 moving heads). the cost to call out the contractor to fix the lights is £2000!!!!! for that price they could put up some LED effects with an on and off switch.Its time to shame these venues, do you know any venues that we can all laugh at and maybe get a list of the 10 worst systems ------------- Craig Heley DJ of 20+ years,Love sound systems and web site owner http://www.budgetmounts.co.uk - http:www.budgetmounts.co.uk |

I'd say create a nice easy way for these poor venues to hire extra kit to cover all their expensive broken stuff... |

It would be great to hire stuff to them but the people sat in head offices of these venues say no

venue i work in has a really nice nexo alfa e system thats in buts, run of 3 crest cc4000's used to sound great but the fact that its too small so such a massive room has recked it . its made up of 4 of the 18's and 4 of the 10'' midtops . my job is lighting so dont go near the system as i wouldnt get payed for it and have enough trouble gettin the cash im owed. its a 3 storie room that holds 850 people, no idea how that little nexo holds out. http://img816.imageshack.us/i/bookashade.jpg/">  http://img35.imageshack.us/i/10419105229652789718402.jpg/">  i love the place and love working there, just wish they would pull it out and short out some good sound as the place needs it. they asked me to source some extra low end a while back , said there was cash waiting, i got a memeber of this board to drive millions of hours to my town for a test run, i was 100% that they would be impressed with what he was bringing and the deal would be done. on the night of trail they said yes yes yes yes. next morning couldnt get ahold of any of the managment and when they did finaly answer they said to tell him to come back .  it wasn't that they weren't impressed just they dont want to fork out. i have to near beg for replacement lamps for the ypocs and the venue hasn't had a smoker/hayzer in a year, i have to get the lend of one from a mate. i know times are tight but they spend money in the wrong places. i wont go into detail as i think it would make some people sick on here anyways.............
