I keep going back to one of two things in my mind, either something sort of mounting tool, or something to hold your cables for your fly system in place...then some part of me wants to say it's a thing that lets you add a pull ring to something...I have a feeling these are all wrong

I turned down the monitor feed to the stage, and the overall volume volume for each input. Now that I figured out where it was coming from, it made sense that it went away when I turned down those things. And it wasn't that it went away completely, you could just hear the music over it, as well...

I figured it out today...I asked the theatre manager if, since there were no sound techs involved with this production if he minded if I traced cables. Almost instantly I found the problem. Two of the cables were cables someone had "made" and poorly at that I will add. They tried to make an XLR...

There's no documentation laying around, and noone in there seems to know anything about the lighting system. As far as wattages go, I'm not sure on that one either. The...

Hi CB, After following advice from a friend to make a Gobo out of a coke can, I found this site for better ways to do it. I read an earlier post about making one out of a cookie sheet, or a pie tin. Which leads me to my question; I'm designing a show, and am a little new to the game, and...
