How do I make my own playlists for my event?
You will need to create a Spotify or Apple Music account. (Spotify and Apple Music are very similar so either works fine. Most clients use Spotify.)
Create your free Spotify account here: https://www.spotify.com/us/signup
Before your event, you will need to sign up for the Premium plan to avoid ads, customize your playlists, shuffle and skip songs as desired, and download your playlists to your device. We suggest signing up for a free account first to make your playlists and add songs, then switch to Premium a month or so before your event (1 month free, then $12.99/month).
Premium account info can be found here: https://www.spotify.com/us/premium/#plans
Spotify can be used on PC, Mac, and mobile devices. To access all the features, we suggest downloading the Spotify app to your device.
How many songs do I need for my event?
Songs average about 3 minutes. So to fill 1 hour, you need 20-30 songs.
Is Sound Made Simple a DJ service?
Sound Made Simple is a sound and lighting service. We provide and operate the sound and lighting equipment for the duration of your event to ensure the sound and lighting systems are working properly.
Can I get the same result hiring Sound Made Simple as I would hiring a DJ?
We bring the equipment and expertise, you bring the music. Together, we can fill the role of a traditional DJ for a fraction of the price! (You choose your own MC or we can MC for you.)
Why should I hire Sound Made Simple?
When you hire Sound Made Simple, we provide the professional equipment and technical expertise you need.
With the help of Sound Made Simple and a little planning, you can have a successful ceremony, dinner, dance, and celebration!
I would like to have a friend or family member MC my event, but how will they know what they're doing?
Having a MC who you know personally adds a personal touch to your event because they know you. We will make sure they are comfortable and successful in their role. (If you prefer to have us MC your event let us know and we can MC free of charge.)
