Running Hoster for first time NYE!!

I will fire up Hoster for the first time on New Years Eve. I am excited and scared at the same time lol! I have used it for a few songs here and there just to mess around at shows and so far so good

I am reprinting all new books to include the new songs I have bought off the CAVS website that panorama and chartbuster allows them to sell.

I will post how my show goes after NYE! Wish me luck

Have no fear it will go great. You will not believe how easy it is to run a show from Hoster.

Thanks..
I just know it will feel strange not having to haul in all them JVC cases. Have two big cases full of the 6 disk cassets. 48 in one and another 20 or so in the other. This will make setup a ton faster. Also will take the stress off my old JVC six disk changer as well. I think the poor thing is 14 years old lol and still works as good as the first day we ran it however you never know what could happen after 12+ years of use on that poor player
It will also be nice not having to switch disks after each singer and I will also feel better knowing each disk will now be safe from scratches since they will not be used

Wow! And I thought I was lugging a lot of equipment. We carried our CDs in 3 notebooks of 250 CDs each. I won't go back to that. If I can't have my Hoster...then cancel the show!

I've cancelled a show one time when both my Dell laptops were in the shop. Would NOT do discs and G/F refused too. darn dell's. Now have a shuttle top-o-line model.

My decision to move to Hoster was necessitated by the fact that I was carrying in 5 cases of 304 discs plus 2 with 128 for karaoke and an additional 6 cases of 128 for DJ music. I was running out of room to store the cases for transport not to mention while doing a show. Man I do not miss lugging around those cases a bit. As most of you DJ/KJ's may know you also have to carry your discs into your home after the shows are done to protect them from the intense heat/cold in your vehicle/trailer. You will love Hoster for this simple fact alone. Just a word of advice though... if I were you I would not switch over to Hoster on New Year's Eve ... I would do it earlier to become well acclimated to it use. If you are as busy as I am on that holiday....I wouldn't want to be trying something new on such a busy night!!
