O some sat. nights, I work with my spouse and we can do a lot more interaction with the crowd, which we always get complimented on. You know, the stuff where they say your show is so much better than the others. But other times, I do the weddings and private stuff on weekends with the DJ music while she'll do the karaoke gig alone, plus I do all my karaoke gigs alone during the week.

Maybe I should have added a "Both" choice on the pole.

I figured more of us were hosting our shows with two people. This may be another benifit to using Hoster, keeps labor cost low.

I started using a Keyspan remote control ($35) a few months ago. It is real handy for walking out in front of the mains and adjusing the vocal/music level by raising and lowering the volume of the music. It's also nice when my amp/mixer has to be facing away from me.

I found I can't use it in one club because there are too many radio waves in the building but I use it everywhere else.

Is anybody else using a remote control to help run their show?

We do all shows as one unless her and the daughter fire up the second system which is maybe once a year, so I guess my answer is both of us.
