Yeah, that's it! Apologies for getting the name wrong and thanks for the clarification.

I'm pretty sure fader flip (or whatever it's called) is the ability to have the currently selected channel automatically change depending on the page selected (ex. Ch. 17 is selected when changing pages instead of Ch. 1 staying selected in the background). I don't personally have that enabled...

Good news! It looks like doing all the updates in sequence does indeed result in no problems with the board in the end. I ended up going from 3.07 to 3.09 to 4.0 to 4.02, testing the board with two XLR sources seeing if anything sounded off. I left the board on for a few hours to see if it would...

Thanks for the suggestion! I will attempt that when I am able to get to the console again. This whole COVID-19 thing has now gotten so severe I am no longer let into the building more than once a weekend.For those that may visit this thread in search of this solution, I've managed to find most...

Thanks for the info! I had also taken this “no one’s going to be in the building for a few more weeks” time to update the Macs and consoles, so this X32 was part of that group to update. It certainly is a good thing that I caught the board doing this pretty early in our off time, so I’ve got a...

Hi everyone. I recently updated my X32 to firmware version 4.02 mainly for the individually assignable user inputs and somehow it gave the board an interesting issue with the sound output from it.No matter if I'm listening from the main LR out or through headphones, everything sounds very...

Our R2s are arranged in 3 different "lines," six of them upstage, four downstage, and two to either side of the center section. We also have R1s directly above the front line on stage but I find that the "vertical beam" effect is basically invisible unless you either haze the room out or have...

What about mixing some green and yellow powder paint together to make the dirty green-brown color, pouring that into a rocket blower (yes, I'm pretty sure that's what these are called), attaching with string or other means to a costume and squeezing when the effect is desired?Another idea...

I've recently discovered some old equipment that our church used to use and probably brought out of service around 2008, including an Ariuss SH 1200 followspot with an odd 4-pin power connector and several Cronos MR 1200 wash movers. (Yeah, probably not as vintage as some others here on...

All the PAR64s I’ve worked with at my church and their scrollers (yes, Chroma-Q Original Color Scrollers), which were probably in service from 1996-ish to 2008-ish, have either been replaced by Source Four PARs as front lights or K9 Bulldogs and SlimPARs if we needed some color.In my...

Thanks, Ron! My only hope for this thread now is that some other individual in the future unaware of their frequency ranges will come across this and discover that their hardware isn't necessarily malfunctioning, just that the receiver and transmitters aren't the same!I'm fairly good at...

Ok, so I may have finally figured one of the "no signal" problems.I previously mentioned that the transmitter was on the J1 frequency range and that I was fairly certain that the receivers were as well (because it had worked in the past), but it turns out that our receivers had been shifted...

So the last response on this thread (before editing, I guess) stated it might be the 600MHz band screwing with it, but I am well aware that T-Mobile is lighting up the band with their new services and that none of our mics are in the licensed band anymore.I double checked and the mics are the...

At our church, we have a series of Shure ULX2-J1s with various SM58 and BETA87A capsules but have lately been having problems with two specific transmitters. I think they are only a few years old and there were no obvious accidents (dropping, moisture, etc.) that triggered these failures.The...

Ah, I think I get it now. Page 35 of the Hog 4 OS manual was really pushing me towards HS, but I'm going to stick with CMY thanks to y'all lighting pros' suggestions!
