Hey all, Just finished maintenance in one of my venues, and I have a good 5 or 6 S4s that we just cannot get in to focus. Either the hotspot continually fall from center with everything tightened, or, no matter how much push/pull into and out of the reflector we do, we still can't get an even...

Years ago I did some contract work at a venue who had an led strip underneath the counter the sound console sat on that would flash whenever the sound op was being called over the clear com. I love this idea because, especially at one of the venues I do freelance work at, there's no reasonable...

How do you guys go about showing "yoked out" fixtures on your plots? In the same vein (and probably slightly more common) how do you show lights hung on different areas of the truss? I'm working on a plot where I have fixtures hung from the top, bottom, and vertical rungs of a 2' box truss and...

#lifesaverThanks!

Hey guys!Working with Focus Charts in LW5 for the first time and can't seem to figure out how to clear Beam/Axis data. I have a handful of movers who axes have accidentally been marked US/DS. I've tried clicking the 'US/DS' focus and deleting it out of the text box and hitting ENTER, as well...

Hey all!I did a bit of searching and couldn't come up with a clear answer. In the most specific of senses, what is the difference between updating a cue and just rerecording it? I'm working with a designer and programming on an ETC Nomad - he insists "we don't update, we rerecord;"...

Hi guys!I was recently laid off from my full-time TD/LD position and am back on the beat - freelancing around. I took some time to update my website/portfolio to present to potential director's companies.The only part that is still a bit under construction is the "Resume" section. I'm...

Hey guys!A few weeks ago I was approached by a friend and director to do lighting/electrics for his production of Into the Woods. The only catch was - it'd be in the woods. There is a "nature sanctuary"/conservation center in my area that focuses on preserving the different kind of...

There's noise in both channels, but I haven't gotten a chance to do an unplug test - I'll see if I can nail something down or have my electrician (who is also an musician) come in and see if he can trouble shootI believe the x32's headphone jack is on the side. I'm not sure if I'd like the...

Thanks for the responses! I don't have a sketch of my layout at the moment (on a different computer), but I really like the idea of a shorter counter for lighting. I'm thinking two thirds of the booth will have kitchen height counters with drafting chairs - with supporting legs on each end and...

Hey guys!I've been around the forums for a while, but have never posted. I'm currently in the middle of a renovation of the house are at my theatre and I'm looking for some insight/people to bounce ideas off of that aren't my board/manager.Image 1 is an image from the stage to the booth...
