    Automated Fixtures Using Technobeam "Smart Lights" with a Strand 520i Lighting Control Board

    I run a 521 everyday and tbh its not as bad as most people say... that said it is a dated board... and many movers are not in its catalog. Although you would be surprised how much etc express language it takes as its own ie... recording subs,groups etc. At the end of the day its not that...

    Mixers/Consoles Recording live on location

    I should note in our case we were limited to 6 channels total into the recording console because we were using the group outs from the live mix board to the recording console.

    Mixers/Consoles Recording live on location

    Nope had each of the tracks we were mixing on the yamaha so in our case we had vocals, foley, band mix, verb and audience mics. The zoom just acted at an interface to the laptop from the board. It wasnt actually using it as the actual recording device. You can have as many tracks as your board...

    Mixers/Consoles Recording live on location

    I just got done with a situation that worked very well, for as best as i can tell a fairly reasonable price using a soundcraft mixer with 6 group outs, a yamaha digital mixer and a zoom portable recorder with a mac as the extra meters/recording device. The soundcraft was the house mix, the...

    had question about a new situation

    Oh that was the players call as far as the di's for their instruments. We were prepped for the normal situation of having a mic for their amp. My question is more towards how to deal with the extreme amounts of sound pressure from the 25 drums feet away from where their amp would be set up.

    had question about a new situation

    Okay this is the first time I have worked with a Taiko group before and I have a hypothetical question. We had 2 Sanshin (japanese traditional instrument) players hooked to di's. Originally they had requested a single mic for the amps that they wanted to bring in to be amped... So I was...

    flip book

    Flipbook is cool but you could also cut the framerate heavily of a normal video and project it onto the surface to give that blackout per frame effect.

    Riding an A-Frame Extension Ladder

    As a regular tech i hate them. I've used them on infinite occassions but the rule I use is if it feels out of control by me... I dont use it ie: the center sways more than acceptable if it is moved. luckily i only deal with powered lifts atm. I'd suggest the safe rule... if you arent feeling...

    Touching the Cyc

    i dont see what the deal is... to me it is a huge and extraordinarily large and expensive single piece of fabric that gets more fragile like any other fabric does with age... dont touch it and it will survive better longer. Ive always known the policy of dont touch it for that reason.
