I've found I have a mix of just about all of what you've described above. I have some regulars who are regulars of the bar but come on my nights because they know I'm there. I have some regulars who will come to my gigs if they're close by. I have some regulars who only come to my karaoke shows and ...

I actually do it the same as BD, my heaviest equipment goes in the van first. My 280lb rack, the 80 lb a piece speakers, I figure these are pretty hard for someone to just grab and walk off with. This also has practical application as far as packing the van. The largest items need to be in place fir...

Surely it's the song that's copyright, not the disc? After all, how would anyone be able to prove that a karaoke system was used to generate the recording? If the song is old enough (unlikely, I know), then there wouldn't be a problem with copyright. Each recording has multiple copyrights. There is...

Check the properties on your bookmarks (if it's Internet Explorer right click on one and go to properties). See if it points to a Yahoo URL (website address) or if it points to the webpage it is supposed to. If the URL is wrong, then just delete and re-add and see how that goes. What happens when yo...

With the gear that I have, it wouldn't make any sense for me to be setup with my back to the audience. I'm always facing them or at least have an angle to face them. I find other ways to save space if I have to, but setting up against the back wall with my back to them is not going to work for the s...

I don't think it's unprofessional if there's clearly no room to set up any other way. It's more about how the KJ adapts to the situation than the situation itself. Agree with you here. It can actually be more unprofessional looking for the KJ to take up a bunch of space, especially when space is at...

First, I'm not putting my money on the table to try and get more people in the bar, that's the bar's job. I make the same from them whether there's 10 people or 100, they get the profits when the additional people show up so it should be their investment. If they put $20 a week into a progressive Ja...

Once the singing part is over I fade out the song. I don't care if there is 2 minutes of instrumental left. Paradise BDL is too long only because I have only heard one couple in 16 years come close to sining it. I deleted it. It turns into 8 minutes of stumbling over the words and it ends up soundi...

As much as I would love to setup in a Front-Of-House (FOH) position like Karyoker does, it's just not feasible in either of the clubs I play on a regular basis. If you look at where he plays, he's got a great location to do that. There's no better way to mix live vocals than to actually be able to h...

I don't accept tips and I don't record. I should state my reason for not accepting tips. It looks too much like a bribe and if their turn happens to be next, it then looks as if I can be bought. I can't be bought, my rotations spots aren't for sale. Agreed, in this business perception is way more i...

It all depends on the song. Meatloaf songs regularly run 7-9 minutes but they're active the whole time and people like them. However, there are some tunes (Metallica Fade To Black is one that comes to mind) that are over 6 minutes but at least half of that is instrumental. In that case 6 minutes is ...
