Thanks for the recommendation. Upon further discussion with my director, the switch between painted scenery and glowing happens with the curtain closed, not open. Therefore, we have some lower-tech solutions (like simply pulling off the painted fabric to reveal solid white fabric that can be lit...

As another note, I'm sure my director is going to want to try just buying a set of lights with one of those little remote controls that have the different effects (chase being one of them) on it. However, those remotes have to be so close to work and are so unreliable. I'm trying to find a...

Thanks for the feedback. Forgive me, but could you elaborate a little more? I get that you're saying I'd only be able to get a whole string of lights to chase another whole string, but I don't quite understand your solution. "...take all the strands and peg them into the set" is where you lost me.

We're currently in the process of getting new lights and rigging, but I'm going to agree and bet that we will not be at full capacity on the Ion, and will, therefore, have fewer dimmers than the Ion can control. Considering the size of the auditorium, I am imagining that we will need to daisy...

I already have a DMX system and an ETC Ion light board. I was thinking of keeping the fairy lights separate from the stage lights, but if there's a way to do it all on the light board, that could work too.

Hi all,I've been researching about scrims and at first, I thought that's what I wanted but now I'm not so sure...I want a fabric that I can paint to achieve a scenery effect but then also, when directly lit, the fabric just glows that color and you can't see what's painted on it. So, I think...

Hi all,I've done some searching around the site, but I didn't see exactly what I was looking for. I apologize if I'm asking something that's been answered. The production I'm working on is Frozen Jr. (in a middle school). The director wants Christmas / Fairy lights that will be strung along...

Found it! Fixed! The channels were up in a sub on a different page. I thought that there would be arrows next to the sub labels to represent that; my mistake. Thanks for all the input.

Before I do anything, all of the values are red. As soon as I type "Record Cue 1 Enter" all of the values turn blue, except the two problem channels turn yellow and go to 100%. When I play back the cue, the problem channels are yellow.

I brought up the cue list... It's totally empty.

Thanks for the response! I will definitely look into that. If I delete all of the recorded cues in the current show, would the board still be tracking channels that were recorded into cues that no longer exist?

Hey all!I searched around, and I couldn't find any threads that discussed this issue. Sorry if I missed it.I'm working on an ETC Ion and trying to record cues. Every time I turn on the channels I want, and then "Record Cue 1" (or whatever cue number), two specific channels turn on to 100%...

I'm in Nassau County on Long Island, actually. I'll be in the city tomorrow, coincidentally, but I can't be there on Monday because of work. If you could overnight it for me, that would be amazing. Actually... I don't mean to push my luck, but two of them would be optimal. Thanks so much for...

Hey, I work in a high school theater. We use Sennheiser wireless microphones for our spring musical, along with a Sennheiser ASP2 antenna splitter. The transformer for for the splitter died today, so I need to buy a new one that can be shipped overnight... our show is Tuesday. The problem is...

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'll definitely have to look into glow paint as another option. I've never used it before. Russ... good thinking with the glow stickers, I'll have to remember that one.
