Thanks for all the opinions everyone. Good to know I'm not too crazy. @RickR I agree with you for most situations but that's not really the case here. The only audience seats behind the mixer would be the lecture hall, which typically ends up with around 30 audience (out of 6-700 total). Those...

In our space we have the ability to run our sound console from either in the back of the house, or a booth at the complete rear of the auditorium (behind 2 lecture halls with airwalls that open). For plays, I have found it to be FAR easier to mix from the back of house space, as you know for a...

I'm working on figuring out effects for Peter Pan, and there's a few I can't quite work out yet. I was hoping to get some advice.1) When Tinker Bell gets trapped in the cabinet as Peter retrieves his shadow. The inside of the cabinet needs to light up green, and the door rattles. To put it...

We had the same fixture do the exact same thing. Of course, administration didn't feel like paying for fixing it so it's sitting in a closet now.Let me know when you figure out what the issue is!

Thanks for all the advice guys.From Pennsylvania, not LV. I'm going to skip the snake and run from FOH. Thinking about it, they're planning on putting a tent over the stage, so I would have absolutely no visibility from the press box anyway. I'll figure out an exact solution.Thanks again...

I don't think the snake is, but I'm not totally sure and of course there's no documentation anywhere. I'll just plan on skipping that and moving onto the field. Most of the performances are small, the idea is really just entertainment while people walk the track. Most audience won't actually be...

Yeah I had a feeling the snake would do some wacky things. I think I'll just skip it and set up my laptop down on the field.I really don't understand how to run DMX over CAT5. If you don't mind, could you explain it in basic terms? Do you need to make custom cables with the right ends on them?

I'm a high school student, so please pardon my limited understanding of DMX complexities.I'm working on lighting a small stage (10'x10') for relay for life event. My equipment is a MyDMX 2.0 USB converter, 10x Chauvet SlimPAR, 2x Elation DesignSpot 250, a 3pin terminator and a ton of XLR...

I doubt this would work too well but it's worth asking.I cant just stick a gobo in the gel boom on my Comet, correct? It would be a homemade pie plate gobo that I only need once. I don't really know much about focal points or any of that, but what I've read says it isn't possible.

This has to be a nomad dongle, right? Free offline editor won't work?

Does anybody have any recommendations for a free sound effect playback software? I've been using Windows media player but the load time is really frustrating.Thanks!

Darn. Thank you!

My ETC Element has two DVI and one VGA port. We are currently using the two DVIs with touch screens. I tried today to attach a third not-touch monitor using the VGA. I'm seeing in some places that element doesn't support a third monitor. Is this true or am I missing something? Thank you.
