    Need some advice on new console used for concert busking .

    The Quartz is an excellent console, and it fits right in your budget. In my opinion its just as powerful as an expert titan, with just a lot less physical "Buttons". It should even give you a little room to expand. I think Victor in the post above yours owns and uses one on tour.

    MA1 Light or MA2 on PC?

    How do you label instruments for semi-perminent or large installations?

    Gaff always goes down on the fixture before anything, including the pre-printed Avery type labels that I'll make for the larger shows. If nobody is going to see it, Neon yellow gaff with black sharpie. Honestly it's really easy to read in low light situations.Never heard of marking fixtures...

    New fixture choices

    I think you're pretty well on track with everything... another LED profile to look at might be the SGM G-Profile. It's an 850W LED Engine and has framing shutters for your FOH Lighting requirements. I'm also a big fan of Mac Auras for a wash, especially with the new brighter XB out. BEye K10...

    Color force 72 Flickering Problem

    Sorry if this is just a confusion on my part, but if it follows the fixture, we have had problems with our units we own. They have two little connectors on each LED cell in the fixture that transfers the signal from cell to cell. We had some issues with them EASILY corroding and causing this...

    Hog 4PC Internal ArtNet

    I'm not familiar with Artnet and Hog4, but I think what you'll be looking for is to set the network interface in both pieces of software to 127.0.0.1 to create an internal loopback and both softwares should talk to each other. That's as far as I can get you from what I know regarding MA3d and...

    Automated Fixtures Mac 700 profile default globe Wattage

    The lamp mode is changed only by the control channel. Under normal circumstances lamp goes into low power mode when the shutter is closed for a few seconds, but then snaps back up to full power once the dimmer moves from zero. If you set it to low power mode using the control channel (Under...

    Purchasing a new lighting console

    Hog4 Full Boar, had the show programmed and ready to go, but come showtime the desktop crashed not once, but three times on me. Pig+Open+Backspace. The Avo is a great board and if it's considered non-user friendly, then I'm not sure what console is. Like others have said just get it set up...

    The Stage CL is great as long as you never go over the 12 fixture limit.
