    Communication with Sound 2 during live mix performances

    You forgot Mumble, which doesn't have as many options as Teamspeak but is rock solid, has great audio quality and low low latency.

    I fiddles with it yesterday and yes, it is the whisper settings. Would be great for many things. Though, IIRC anyone can whisper to all if they are set up as a group client sid. Just doesn't update to include new users.

    Communication with Sound 2 during live mix performances

    IF you're getting really intricate, you can set up teamspeak so different teams can talk to each other, but not outside of their group. Finally - lighting doesn't eat up an entire partyline!Well I say that but at the moment I can't seem to get it to do so, but you can set a priortiy speaker...

    Communication with Sound 2 during live mix performances

    When you have computers at either end and a network, I think the instant messaging solution is a great idea, given you have a reliable (read: wired) show control network. I haven't had the opportunity to do it recently, but it is something I've used in the past.As far as texting each other, I...

    New Chauvet Ovation RGBA-L Lekos

    Good to hear. I'm especially curious about the lenses, since I remember the Altman lenses were often switched for EDLTs.Oh really? Last time I looked into these the S4 was still a little ahead. Just wanted to prevent the usual, "if you're really serious about these things you have to go S4"...

    New Chauvet Ovation RGBA-L Lekos

    Alright, I know that ETC makes by far the nicest and most natural looking LED ERS, and that Altman has been on their tail for a while now, but still ever so slightly behind. However, Chauvet have recently tossed their hat into the ring with these new fixtures and (knowing Chauvet) they could be...

    Mixers/Consoles Which is easier, Analog or Digital console

    Digital is by far the superior choice. Analogue just has a lower learning curve.Someone used to tell me that they thought analog boards were frightening, then I stuck them on an SD5. They ran.

    HS Sound Tech looking for advice!

    I will offer one tip for you in your particular situation - do not use compressors if you can avoid it. In a large theatrical environment, all of the omni patters on stage increase feedback greatly, and compressors will take away your gain before feedback very quickly if you're not careful.

    Moving Light as Follow Spot

    Oops...@Jay Ashworth I didn't take calculus either.... but I had to learn it for AP Physics C, so I got most of the important bits.

    Chinese stage collapse.

    Sure. At least until they reach calculus... I never officially got that far.

    Moving Light as Follow Spot

    I probably would set it to the first derivative. Velocity control would make more sense.
