Yup. The LARP is a weekend long event with a horror theme (inspired by summer camp slasher films from the 80s)The sound will be ambient/droning (there's a separate a system for announcements near the tents and cabins)- out in a field up on a hill. I would estimate the area to be covered is...

Hi all, I'm working on a LARP event which is taking place all over an old campsite. Unfortunately- there's a highway just a little ways off, and you get the drone of cars pretty clearly. We want to rig up speakers on some disused telephone poles (no power there, we'll need to run power out from...

The snake is an analogue XLR snake. Something I did find in my test- mapping the non-working channels to otherwise working outputs caused them not to work (and vise-versa) So it's something within the non-functional channels.A friend suggested either blow pre-amps in the channels or broken...

Not an audio guy- so this may be super obvious- our space has a Roland M200i- and channels 5 & 6 are not working.I thought it was the snake- but I tested the lines and they're fine when I cross patch them. So I looked for a patch issue.The Channels are patched 1 to 1- with #5 on the snake...

Thank you. Totally missed it. Glad I was at least on the right track.

Found this on Amazon- thought it was cheep RGB LED tape, but when I went to hook it up to DMX decoder for control I realized something was off. Couldn't figure out why it seemed to have an extra lead (should have been 3 color/4 wires- but it has 5), and plugging into a decoder did nothing...

Hi All,I'm newly in charge of a multi-purpose space. One of the issues I'm being tasked with is new audience seating.They get used in several configurations and we often need to clear them from the space for classes or weddings, etc.We currently own a system of Stageright FR-2402 Fold...

The times I've seen this, it needed a body sitting down with the book/script and typing it into a program like Powerpoint or Slides I'll also put in a plug for a program called Glypheo for Mac, which is basically a streamlined, text-only version specifically for sur-titles. I hesitate to say...

IIRC- I-cues can be set in a 2 and 4 channel mode. 2 channel mode gives the first channel for pan (left-right) and the other for tilt (up-down) (or maybe it's the other way around) 4 channel mode gives a "rough" and "fine" channel for each So if you're set in 2 channel mode and sending 4...

[Joke begins here] You can tell this happened in Canada, because she's not immediately suing them [end joke]But actually- WHAT!?!?! How is this not something that you already have mechanisms for preventing?Not to pile on- but the quote from Aspen comes off like they really hadn't...

I was also very luck to have a course titled "Professional Theater" (as an undergrad actor, yes I'm one of those). One of the most useful courses I took, even/especially as I transferred to production side. The broad strokes of contracts, and what to look out for (mostly based on AEA but...

Occam's Razor. Here I was trying to think of all kinds of interference, stray signals, improper settings, but definitely the first thing to check right here

One of the most useful classes I ever took was called "Professional Theater". At the time I was an actor and it was mostly geared towards acting BUT it covered things like "What is an Independent Contractor" - "What are deductions and can I have some" - "What are contracts and how are they...

I was going to write my own post- but this basically says it all. I'm not saying there isn't anything useful here- a rental shop might be able to use this to disinfect units as they come in for example. What it is NOT is waving a UV light in front of your audience as they come in, or hanging...

Years ago I was having trouble with the ground in my living room. Thinking I might be able to replace the outlet I opened up the cover. Some prior habitant had bugged off from the outlet on the other side of the wall to add that outlet. That's not the distressing part. The distressing part is...
