I just painted a set of legs on voile. I had problems with paint collecting near plastic ridges. I'm about to paint the second set and am looking for a better method. I'm painting sheer fabric it's like pantyhose, but no stretch. I'm painting down on a concrete floor. I've laid out plywood...

I'm building modular studio flats. I want to make it easy to reassemble. I tend to overthink things a bit. I had though of using coffin locks to connect them. Now I'm considering 4-5 bolts with oversize holes to allow for adjustment. I wanted to avoid screwing them together over and over...

These are great. You will need to know how to bypass the safety stop in order to use some foams, Green or wet wood can set it off as well as some Black paint. I believe black Super Sat will set it off, I believe it's the graphite?

I'm trying to break out of my DIY, HS/Community Theatre construction rut. I'm building a 4'x16'x 15" rolling platform. I usually stack two levels together. The base platfoms have the casters and then I stack the second level on top.This show has to travel and be set up quickly. I have...

We are doing a heavy makeup show with borrowed paddle mics. They are mounted to halos and the actors put them on last, but the still bump the face in performance. I have heard you can cut a small piece of a condom and wrap the element with a dental rubber band to protect them. Any...

some of my packs or countryman mics are popping, glitching. Does anyone use electrical cleaner or alcohol to wipe the mic connector port or male end? I have them in condoms but have continual glitching from one actor. I have switched his mic and pack. The other problem is, we have SO many...

The amp is in a rack of 6 amps, 2 for monitors, 2 for mains and 2 for subs, (I believe. I will be able to see them again Saturday) I will try to EQ/Process the effect. I was hoping to add more punch and also have an added source for the rumble and boom of the avalanche. The mains and monitors...

ok, I never do things the way you are supposed to. So, what I'm trying to do is have a separate control for the bass amplifier and bass cabinet to get a deep rumble from my avalanche FX. The board has stereo outs to main and monitor going to an amp rack. Because I don't want bass in my vocal...

Re: Thunder FX from LaptopI bought a few new adapters. I found that the problem was the 3.5mm cable was mono. Once I put my new stereo 3.5 cable in I had clean sound that could route to both main and monitors. Previously I had a 3.5 stereo cable that split to two RCA. This worked accept it...

Re: Thunder FX from LaptopI have a cd player that plays from 3.5 to 1/4" and plays fine. Does that mean the CD is mono? The mixer has 2 line inputs on one channel and one is labeled for mono.

Re: Thunder FX from LaptopI tried it with low volume and at full and had the same result. I am assuming that the "free" sound file was low quality. I downloaded some this morning from Sounddogs at the highest quality and will try again tonight from the laptop and also I will burn a CD and...

Thanks for your response. Originally I wanted 6 individual sources for the howling hound, but since I have limited gear I'm going for 4, or worst case 2 pairs. I will investigate my speaker and monitors to see if they are receiving separate signals. There are 2 main and 2 monitor outs on my...

I am trying to run fx from my laptop via itunes. I downloaded a free fx that sounds great on my laptop but once I ran it through the mixer (Mackie 808m) it was crackly and distorted. Could it be low quality? that I used the headphone 3.5mm jack to a line in connector on the mixer?I adjusted...

Thanks for the response can this be run from a laptop? Are you controlling the movement of sound through Show Cue system and that sends the signal to the specified outputs? I am new to sound here and scrambling to catch up.Thank you

Thanks for your help. I should have specified "laptop" over PC. I have been working on an initial solution by adjusting the monitor and main outputs using the knobs. Is there a way to do this from a laptop?
