At my theater we do it all manually, bring the slider up as they come out and back down as they leave. However at my church we have a Yamaha on/edit switch witch I love. I generally switch it on and off manually but occasionally I use the presets. I may just like Yamaha's method because I...

My theater uses Gaff tape for pretty much anything, however, I do agree its adhesiveness is not the greatest. If your not worried about residue and really need something to stay together I have found Gorilla tape is pretty dang strong. However when removing it i can leave a bit of residue. As...

Cut the quote to save space :grin: Anyway, I've been volunteering with sound for 4 years and have had a paid job at a local theater for a few months now. I've found if the artists or actors know whats going on and understand what your doing then they are much more cooperative when something...

Hey my name is Stephen, found the this site through google while I was looking for followspot tips. I just recently got a job at a local Theater and work lights, sound, sound effects, and followspot. It gets busy but its quite fun. I'm mainly a sound mixer (so official sounding huh?) at my...
