Over the last week I've been messing with some various emulators, and controllers for PC that can map out onto DMX, if you have the USB to DMX converter.
I sent the question to my TD, and he said...

I'll have to take you up on that one one of these days! Might not be for a while, however with the oh-so-wonderful holidays around the corner.
But thank you very much!

Awesome! I'd love to do that someday! I'd have to find a way to convince my parents to let me drive up there (considering that I got my license a little shy of 3 months ago) and find a little cash...

Awesome! Yeah, that's the current path. I think we're looking at an Ion, but I'm not sure. I'm just going to let things play out.
Very cool! I wouldn't mind coming, and possibly try and drag my TD...

I hope I do too! Now that we are currently in the process of buying a new board, (or at least getting a quote for a budget) and I'm learning how to do the things that my TD has either never tried to...

Alright. I will do that when I go back in.

Correct, it is. S6, if I am not mistaken.

Update:
The amount of dimmers that the board said it had was 144. I changed it to 1024, and boom, just like that, it worked. Now, something funny did happen though. When I go into the patch list,...

Alright. I am at the board currently. We have 144 dimmers. I'm trying to patch into the board, and I've done the setup, and all of that. My current problem is adressing the lights, and getting the...

Alright, I will do that. I made a copy of the board about a month ago, and after I did wipe the board by accident by patching the movers into our primary washes, and erasing all of our patches, I've...

Thank you! When I go in tomorrow, I'll try this out!

Yep... that's the next problem. I can't seem how to figure out how to do this.
Let's just say... I accidently patched it into the wrong channels, and I wiped out the whole board, so... Yeah. I'd...

Alright, before I get into this, I don't know anything about moving heads, or scanners, in this case, so please excuse my lack of education on this topic. While I was looking for some more source...

I'll have to go through and find out where they are all at. That's about right for the electrics. We have a band shell that takes 4 circuits I think. I'll have to find my diagram of everything.
I...

hrm.. I know that we don't have an element right now... we have an Express 48/96... I know we had an older board, that we had out at storage... it disappeared, (it more than likely got sold or...

Okay. Thanks for the inputs here. Looks like moving lights are out of the question then. (I'm just looking around, trying to find the best of what we have, and seeing what are the best options out...

mmmm. I'll have to find out how much those cost, and what I can do. We just got some new Gam Film/FX Gobo rotators, so I'll have to see how those work out for us.

We currently have an Express 48/96. That's an estimate budget. I don't know how much we will actually get into this project.

Oh, alright. I think the best option would be either an Ion or Element at the moment, looking at what we have.

Alright. I'll look into those. Thanks!

I see...
Those look pretty cool. We could have used those. I'll have to see what my TD thinks! Thanks!

That's not in my control. My TD insists that we use the PAR's for his work lights. One of these days, we will get around to installing new work lights. I should bring that up, actually.

Alright. I was looking at the with ETC consoles.
We actually moved the Altmans, as we have maxed out all of our dimmers on the first and second catwalks (oops... I couldn't think of the word when I...

Educated guesses. No way have these been set in stone, or have I been told this. I know we have the funds available. What we can use of it, is something that I do not know.

Right now, we have somewhere in the area of 50 ETC Source Four Leko's, give or take, about 25, possibly 50 Altman fixtures (Not sure... we moved most of them into storage, as they weren't as bright...

So, I was approached today by my TD, and the auditorium director, and I was told that the district board (who controls all of the budgets for the auditorium) wanted to know how the auditorium was to...
