Can
I see you perform?
Surely, if I am performing at a public event, but most events I perform
are private parties. Please check my references
for additional information.
Do
you have references?
I have included references on this website. For privacy I list only
the client's first name and first initial of their last name. Please
contact KnightNoise DJs for a list of recommendations from previous
customers.
What
type of equipment do you carry?
I carry only professional quality sound equipment and lighting (Crown,
JBL, Rane, American DJ, Visiosonic PCDJ FX, Maxtor HDs, etc.). For a
complete list of equipment and features, please access Equipment. I
carry backup equipment (Dual CD player, Mixer, Amplifier, and Speakers),
assorted fuses, speaker cables, interconnect cables, and even a tool
box. All equipment and lighting are in excellent working order and are
tested before leaving the office.
What
time will you arrive for my event?
I typically
arrive 1.5 - 2 hours before the event. This allows time for unloading,
setup, sound check, and lighting check.
Will
I get examples of your music? Do you play requests?
As far as examples, included under Songs & Charts are: the current
month top 10 charts from Billboard, and PromoOnly, 200 most requested
songs chart, as well as a database of songs carried by Knight Noise
DJ Service. Yes, I accept requests from you the client and also from
your guests if that's what you require. I send samples of music lists
from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, country, christian and most current
hits.
What
type of music format do you use?
In June 2003, I began using MP3 and PCDJ Red for all my music entertainment.
All MP3 recording have been ripped at a sampling rate of 160 Hz or better
to ensure the best possible sound quality. I have mirror image backup
hard drives and I also carry backup commercial CDs to all my events.
What
happens if you don't have my song?
If I don't have your song, I'll get it before the date of your event
(I can guarantee the song(s) is requested at least 3 weeks prior to
the date of the event).
Can
you play my CD's?
Sure, I'll play music from your CD's, but I don't recommend it. You
usually have more things on your mind than worrying about whether the
DJ has returned your CD(s).
Is your music library large enough to handle my requests?
Some DJ's boast about having tens of thousands of songs. Remember, you
can only squeeze 10-15 current songs or 20-25 oldies into a one hour
period. I have a substantial music library for your requests, but I
also believe in quality (having the RIGHT songs).
How
do you dress for the party?
If the event is formal, I wear a tuxedo. Otherwise, I wear what has
been recommended by the client.
Do
you have liability insurance?
Yes. I carry liability insurance in the event any of your guests getting
injured because of my negligence.
Do
you work overtime?
Yes, my overtime rate is $75.00 for each additional
one half hour. I recommend booking the additional hour(s) when the contract
is agreed upon. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee I will be available for
overtime work because of other engagements.
