Thanks, folks.

Hi,I am TD, but also the theater manager and FOH when needed. So I have to address ticketing.This is an issue for a bit down the road because we don't have audiences now. NTL, it came up when Vendini sent me a new quote yesterday.Vendini wants $400/month ($4800/year) plus 75 cents per...

Thanks for the input. I like the Ci Flyhouse videos and can talk to iatse people.Best, John

Hi folks,I am a High School technical Director. My High school is on a Distance Learning Program through June. This presents as lemons for my Hands-on, Project Based Learning model. It's time to make lemonade.The areas that I wish I covered better over the whole program is general theater...

Yummy!8 universes for $3k! That will cover a lot of DMX. I have a good sized kit and am pressing on the top of a 4 universe system. That is the biggest issue I face with expanding my kit - control. And yes, I think control is the first thing to solve. When they go out and get those rather...

Hello,LEDs have provided some great new challenges. I love them anyway.This is a different tact. I use many cheaper led fixtures - ah well, you know why - anyway, in EOS I reset the dmx speed to the slowest. That way the LEDs have time to respond. You can try slower or faster changes. Also...

Hi all,I just saw an add for Gaffgun. Anyone use this product? Reviews? It is about $300 to get into it. It looks interesting, though. For those of us who no longer crawl on the floor, it might be really useful.John

Hi,I searched the forum for this gear. No results..Anyone using this gear successfully? Is it PC controlled?John

Hi, Sorry to mislead you with the title, Len.NTL, the title does say the seller's name and the warning and that he was selling studio colors. I am not sure how to change it. I think I'd suggest creating an ebay discussion section of this CB site. A place where we can go look right before we...

Hi all,I use ebay very successfully. In that, I mean, that I stretch my budget by least double through ebay. I also am able to do R&D projects with raw LEDS. It is great fun and successful.For example: I have invented a very useful fixture in a 40 foot long pipe fixture - yes it is 40 feet...

Hi, I bought a Studio Color from this guy on ebay. I have used ebay for used lights as many of you have without issue. All of us who use SC know they require work. But, as these units drop in price, the work they require seems like less a burden. Well, anyway, people like Loboenrique are...

Thanks all. This is really helpful. The SynAud and the Rane sites proved to be the most useful right now. All of it is online. I can work in my own time. Yes, I will join SynAud as soon as their server gets fixed. The SF conference is a bad time for me - I have a show going up that week...

Hi, I have spent much of my focus and personal development on staging and lighting. That has has been very productive for our theater. In the meantime, it turns out that our sound could use more attention. Can anyone recommend a good conference or set of workshops to help me really advance...

Hi, I have access to some dmx converters that can output any dmx universe in the whole spectrum. They speak sACN. I read, " The ETC ION can control up to 10000 universes of DMX " My ION outputs 2 universes in dmx. I do not need the ION to do this if I can solve this output issue on...
