Hahaha thats awesome, man. I think bringing things back in smootly once they fail is an art of its own!

Thankyou so much, guys. This is all really great information!

On the same show I mentioned before the guy who was recording captured some pretty interesting offstage "banter" on his multitrack rig. Since we were taking directs out of the board on 8 channels, they were live to the multi the whole time the board was on, regardless of the characters level in...

Okay, I'll go first. West Side Storry, 2009. My worst screw up ever was coming back from intermission, I got signal on all wireless and everything seemed great. As the overture ended i brought my submasters back up as the scene began. I was horrified when i had absolutley no output out of the...

Duh! I didnt even think about trying to get her on adjacent mics! Well live and learn. I could have just rode the faders and read the script really carefully to boost the closest mic. i did somthing similar last year with The Sound Of Music. Theres a scene where two "lovers" sing a duet and they...

Hey just wanted to get your opinons on an operating procedure. A couple months ago I was mixing sound for a musical with a large live pit and 16 channels of wireless mics, with lots of swaps to make sure everyone with a speaking line was on mic. The absolute lead of the show had her mic go down...

Hi Guys, I have an issue with our CD80 Pack system. Last night I was setting lights for an up coming show. I was trying to see what was already up on the stage, and when I was done I walked back past the dimmer rack and noticed that 2 breakers on the front were tripped. I reset them after I...

I agree with setting the lights from the house, but she wants to run them from the back of the house for the performances forever. The english dept took over the booth, because one of the rooms you go thru to get to it (before boiler room) is the english dept. office. ill take pics. -max

We used to talk to them because our director really likes music to fade out when lights are brought up. She uses alot of sceene shift music.

im glad i brought this up even though i was really argumentative in the middle of the thread. i had never heard of running lights from the house exept when you are aiming them and building cues and scenes. i will try to work with what ive got and do my best. i guess it just seemed to me like you...

i guess i could drop a cable, even if its against code, they have MUCH bigger fish to fry in our theatre. Kinda seems like our always theatre turns into an electrical free-for-all. I like the rug idea, but that is what we are doing now. could i potentially (with permission, of course) tap off...

cool, thanks guys. I highly doubt the district is going to split the slab in their theatre to put in an outlet, but do you guys have any better solutions than an extension cord across the isle? -Max

dude, your totally right. i understand now. not my choice no matter how much it pisses me off. oh well, i guess ill just have to do a nice job on the install back there, and ask district for a permanent outlet. Thanks guys i just got a little flustered when i heard this news today. lots of...

Dude. lights in the house? there calling follow spot cuse with a ticket holding person sitting less than a foot away. It just bugs me. your right the table in more likley only about 7 or 8 feet deep, but its still huge and wildly inappropriate you its use. and to answer your question, no it was...

I don't know how to explain this any better than I am. My cause for concern was not discipline of the students. Mrs. R hasn't had a problem with students being in a booth away from the theatre ever. thats NOT why she moved the board. my cause for concern is that we are handing over an...
