Thank you!! I will be looking back at this thread tomorrow when I go to program! If I have any more questions, I have ETC on speed dial..lol. Thank you again!

You're gonna hate me...but im still confused. Ive spent a few days trying to grasp the understanding of direct selects, but I still feel a little confused. Here is what I understand..please tell me where I go wrong, I shall give an example:I have an ETC revolution. There are several times...

Hey All,I am training on an ETC Congo, the Version 6, main console. And, I was wondering, can anyone here explain the direct selects to me? For example, how to load to them, what can go in them and so forth? Thank you!

I checked the search to see if this question has been answered before and I dont think it has. Its pretty specific. I am picking vectorworks back up after a while and after sitting here all afternoon im starting to get a hang on it again. I was sent the AUTOCad file for our theatre space...

so basically...if I dont want to go to cue zero or anything, I should just bring everything down to zero manually and work from there, record the cue and move on? then when i release the channels finally it will go back to the cue...I guess I started with?

Hey guys! I have a real simple question, that I might be able to figure out if my brain was not so fried from graduate finals. On an ETC console (specifically an Insight 3, but I think this goes for a lot of the expression series also..) when you have a channel that is purple, it was...

Footer, Thank you for your advice. But I would like to make it clear that I would never give up my job for a desk job. I might be afraid at times, but I still do it. Ive hung hundreds of lights, but its just a fear that I have. I can see from reading back that a lot of people have the same type...

Thank you...I am very careful. I am 5'2" as well. Maybe im just having a terrible day..I dont know. I just do not want to be told im behind or anything...because of my fear.

For the record, I HATE sliding side arms. Theres a little bolt at the end to stop it...but still, it seriously bothers me! I am feeling really bad about today though...

I see what you mean...I got the assistantship, which means that I have to work for the school too as, like, a staff member. They pay my tuition and they pay me to go to school too..the catch is the working for the school. It does get experience, but yeah I LOVE design much more...

You see though, I am the Lx shop supervisor, I run the shop and supervise the students...im pretty much in charge, and have been doing lighting now for 8 years, the problem is that after 8 years...I still fear this. :-( It may also be because, since im such a good board op, im almost always put...

Hanging and focusing, hanging is not a huge issue because I usually put the light on the pipe and then safety it and then I tighten the pipe bolt. But focusing it..and yoking it out is where I begin to worry most...and having to twist the light in funky ways.. Well recently we were clearing...

Thank you :-)- well, I have no idea where this fear comes from. I recently DID see a light fall off the cat walk, that was because the guy moved the light and sit it up right instead of on its side, and then bumped it and it crashed to the ground. I also saw one fall when someone didnt safety...

Hello everyone! Maybe someone here can help me...or maybe kick me around, I don't know. But I feel like I have a serious issue...but maybe its not so serious. I am a new graduate student in lighting design, I did my undergrad in technical theatre, and have been around lighting for the past 8 or...

You are welcome Red :-) Anytime! Critique helps! :-) And Shiben, no problem! :-) thank you!
