Over the last week I've been messing with some various emulators, and controllers for PC that can map out onto DMX, if you have the USB to DMX converter. I sent the question to my TD, and he said to send it over to my venue director and okay it with him. My venue director says it's okay, and...

I'll have to take you up on that one one of these days! Might not be for a while, however with the oh-so-wonderful holidays around the corner. But thank you very much!

Awesome! I'd love to do that someday! I'd have to find a way to convince my parents to let me drive up there (considering that I got my license a little shy of 3 months ago) and find a little cash sitting around to afford the gas. Haha. I'd love to do that though! May I ask, what kind of...

Awesome! Yeah, that's the current path. I think we're looking at an Ion, but I'm not sure. I'm just going to let things play out. Very cool! I wouldn't mind coming, and possibly try and drag my TD and venue manager along. Haha, someday. Assuming I/we aren't doing anything. We will hopefully be...

I hope I do too! Now that we are currently in the process of buying a new board, (or at least getting a quote for a budget) and I'm learning how to do the things that my TD has either never tried to do, or didn't have the effort to do.

Alright. I will do that when I go back in.Correct, it is. S6, if I am not mistaken.

Update: The amount of dimmers that the board said it had was 144. I changed it to 1024, and boom, just like that, it worked. Now, something funny did happen though. When I go into the patch list, there are a whole ton of numbers that don't belong in the patch there. For instance, channel 1, that...

Alright. I am at the board currently. We have 144 dimmers. I'm trying to patch into the board, and I've done the setup, and all of that. My current problem is adressing the lights, and getting the board to communicate with that addressing. I am getting the error "WARNING: No dimmers left on...

Alright, I will do that. I made a copy of the board about a month ago, and after I did wipe the board by accident by patching the movers into our primary washes, and erasing all of our patches, I've learned that whenever I experiment with the board, to make a copy. Haha. I've been trying to...

Thank you! When I go in tomorrow, I'll try this out!

Yep... that's the next problem. I can't seem how to figure out how to do this. Let's just say... I accidently patched it into the wrong channels, and I wiped out the whole board, so... Yeah. I'd rather trust someone here than do that again ;) (For futures sake, I do have a backup of the board...

Alright, before I get into this, I don't know anything about moving heads, or scanners, in this case, so please excuse my lack of education on this topic. While I was looking for some more source four leko's in the back closet, (I still don't know why they were back there, and neither does my...

I'll have to go through and find out where they are all at. That's about right for the electrics. We have a band shell that takes 4 circuits I think. I'll have to find my diagram of everything. I know that we have an operating budget for gels, lamps, and maintenance, so, that's not a big...

hrm.. I know that we don't have an element right now... we have an Express 48/96... I know we had an older board, that we had out at storage... it disappeared, (it more than likely got sold or reclaimed for auction by the district) and I don't know what that board was... so... but, I will talk...

Okay. Thanks for the inputs here. Looks like moving lights are out of the question then. (I'm just looking around, trying to find the best of what we have, and seeing what are the best options out there) About the consultant: I don't exactly know our budget (I was basing those figures off of our...
