Hello all, I know that there is another post going on at the moment where someone is asking about sorting out the PA system they have for an audience re-call at the end of intermission. However we don't have a PA amp, I am just looking for the sound effect to play before a performance to get the...

Was it "taxato" or something similar by Figure 53? They produced QLab as well

Hiya all. Hope everyone is writing letters to Santa about wanting an MA programmer wing and a new scooter.Recently through scouting I have run a few shows as lighting desk op and programmer in one case for shows ranging from completely unknown event with 12 movers and about 30 LEDs on a hog...

Hi guys. I though I'd ask some of you here for your opinion on this matter.So basically I am currently in my senior year of high school (nearly 18 years old) and intend to continue working in this industry once I've done a course at a local institute (box hill institute, for all you Aussies)...

Ducts aren't as Much of an issue as we are getting heating built into the floor and I believe we aren't getting any aircon (which I just realized is going to be very interesting when you have a bunch of lights pumping out heat. Another thing to ask about)One of the main things I am trying to...

Ric thanks for the link. works beautifully. I am thinking that I am going to type up a list of what is "important" in the venue and how we can work through it, I am also tempted to contact Yamaha as a student and just work out what the process is for these installations (no harm in getting the...

I personally don't know how buildings are usually designed and planned for however while the "shell" is currently planned for and being constructed we are still having meetings about the space. eg. only two weeks ago we chose the type of seating we were going to install (we want to make the...

Might be a bit of a long commute to work each day from Australia :lol: I don't really know how this is going to end up but I thought I'd just post this up as other people may have dealt with this situation before and may have some pointers. but that's the problem with his. every building is...

Hi guys, I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned this before but my high school is getting a new $9 Million dollar building at the moment which includes a ~500 seat performance space and a smaller "black box" style theatre which can probably seat about 100 Less.I am a student at the school who is...

Getting access to the servers wont be an issue as I am actually one of the IT admins :mrgreen: and we are looking for this exact thing. A program where we can track equipment and do charging and stuff would be good. I figure price is a concern but at least if I look at it we can weigh up all the...

Hello all, I am being made responsible for running a large show in a few months time and the folks have recommended I read up incase something goes wrong so I can know what to do. However I can't find anywhere on the interwebs a copy of the manuals. The desk they will be using is a hog iPC...

Thanks for that. one of the main advantages of the venue we are renting is that I am the head lighting dude at the other theatre company that primarily uses that place so I know the building fairly well. as that theatre company has some fairly ancient gear (analogue dimmers, pat23's and old...

Everything you've said sounds really good but I am unsure what pipe tapes are (I usually have a hang plot) Would anyone be able to recommend some form of CAD programs for planning this all out as we have a very small window to hang and program lights so at least if I can have a rough idea...

Hello all, My school has recently had it's hall knocked down as part of some construction works and so for this years performance we have booked another venue. for our shows I am the head tech guy who designs LX and audio and then usually runs one of them on the nights. however this is a new for...
