Holiday mixers and contests - Pictionary Of Carols (weekly game/contest)

Pictionary Of Carols

1. Get an oversized tablet of paper and an easel. Don’t forget a thick marker!
2. Write the names of Christmas carols on individual strips of paper and put them in a Santa hat.
3. Divide your guests into teams. You may use as many teams as you want, but remember you don’t want those not guessing to be bored, so limit your number of teams. Two to four teams seems to work the best.
4. One person starts by picking a paper out of the hat. This person does not show this paper to anyone but begins drawing what he/she believes depicts the carol in question while the rest of his/her team members begin guessing.
5. Someone on another team is the time keeper.
6. The person has one minute to draw. If his team does not guess it in the designated time. All the other teams get one guess. If another team gets it, they get the points.
7. Points are allotted for correct guesses. You designate the point structure.

Tips:

• Make sure the easel is set up so that all guests can see what is being drawn from wherever they are seated.
• A possible point system might be 5 points if your team guesses in 1 minute, 1 point if another team guesses it afterwards

How do I connect my computer to my Mixer or Speakers (Virtual DJ & No Controller)

How do I connect my computer to my Mixer or Speakers

See the cords below, in some cases when you use virtual DJ you need this cord and then 2 of the splitters below (3rd image). You also need to set your software. In Virtual DJ under sound card in the sound setup tab of settings select Mono separated. Above that under outputs select, Deck 1: left chan/ Deck 2 right chan

You need the cord above first to get standard sound from your (1/8 in)headphone jack or line out jack to the back inputs (RCA) of your mixer. This will allow you to connect a SINGLE stereo channel to your mixer. This channel can be used for windows media player, winamp, real player, or whatever music software you use. If you can hear it through headphones plugged into the jack then this cable when connected correctly to your mixer will work fine.

Now if you have a DJ software program that has 2 players or more, both players will play through this one channel unless you SPLIT the signal by using (2) TWO of the cords below. You will also have to set the program you are using to split the outgoing sound from one channel stereo to two channel mono (that's player 1 to the left or right side and player 2 to the left or right side). when you hook it up this way and the channels are on the wrong side just flip the RCA Cable connections so the players will play in the channels you need.

There are also many different and very cheap usb external sound cards avail on the market that come in many different shapes, sizes, and outputs & Inputs so choose wisely. These usb sound cards allow you to independently control a different output or set of outputs.
