I prefer to design my shows with some lights visible. People aren't bothered by them, and it gives a lot more creative opportunities.

Personally, of all the S4 knockoff's I've tried, the Altman is the best one. The SL just plain sucks.

That's exactly what it's like here. It does vary in the time of day from one to the next, but everyone ALWAYS knows about it before it happens. Teachers all tell the students, students tell others, and the entire school knows days before it will happen. When it happens, people take their time...

Additionally, the Express is over 15 years old, and is not a great recommendation to school looking ot get a new one. Getting one of ETC's newer consoles, such as an Element, is a much better idea for a new light board for a school. If that's not in your budget, a Smartfade would be your next...

Do you mean using the 4 XLR inputs, the 4 TRS inputs, and the stereo AUX inputs on the 003, plus the 8 digital inputs?

Roughly 40 ERSs, 15 fresnels, 10 PAR64s. 48 dimmers. Up to 96 channels (but no moving lights, so we never use them)

Hi all,My school just acquired a Mackie TT24. Yes, I know some of you are rolling your eyes, but this is the nicest thing our school has gained in the past 10 years at least. Anyways, we're looking to use it as a controller and added inputs for ProTools. We've got the 003 Rack for the computer...

Yep. Sawdust, non-dairy creamer, and many other dry particles in the air are EXTREMELY flammable. Didn't they see the MythBusters episode??

It's Apple-Q

Someone who commented on that video knows their theatre...

To be fair, you should not use ANYTHING to hold a S4 without a safety cable. Or anything for that matter.On a more serious note, that clamp should not be used AT ALL to hold anything aside from a really light par can. Drop ceilings are rated to hold the weight of the ceiling itself and a...

The only one I can recommend is "Blurple". I don't use Apollo gels that often, but I read the swatchbook just for fun sometimes. :D (Blurple is the only one I remember)

That seems appropriate for the Facebook Lighting Wall of Shame...

Is there any way you could use another DMX address? It's really, well, stupid to boat anchor a piece of equpment solely because it doesn't start at a specific number.
