Slide 1 of 5. Could you finish your set without Wi-Fi?

Before you load the van, turn off Wi-Fi and run through the songs people are counting on. Use the same setup you’ll take to the event.

Keep the key songs on your device

Slide 2 of 5. Keep key songs available offline.

Save the ceremony cues, grand entrance, first dance, and must-play requests for offline playback.

Turn off Wi-Fi and hit play

Slide 3 of 5. Turn off Wi-Fi and test your cues.

Open each key track in your DJ software and test it the way you’ll cue it live.

Double-check the version

Slide 4 of 5. Check the intro, clean edit, first-dance version, and start time.

Listen to the intro and confirm the clean edit, first-dance version, and any requested start time. A live version can have a different intro from the studio recording.

Pack a backup you’ve tested

Slide 5 of 5. Pack and test a backup USB.

Put copies of the key tracks on a USB and test the drive on the gear you’ll actually use if your main setup goes down.
