To echo what others have said, I've spent more hours than I can count on a TF series console and I have a very hard time recommending it for anything other than a very basic tech program. Just by the nature of it being a beginner console, it feels very clunky and limited, not to mention I seem...

20 if it takes out the brand new video wall.....

Here is the techie portion of our yearly dance show. Set-wise there really isn't much to show off given we eliminated the grip crew with covid to keep numbers down. The programs' promo video runs up to 2:40 with the light show starting at 2:41ish.Best, Walt Gomes (bonus points if you can...

What I've found is this is just, unfortunately, the way of life now. Currently, my HS has ~4,000 kids on campus, 8hrs a day. We average roughly 1-5 cases a day sending anywhere from 10 to 200 kiddos home every day for close contact. The protocols are good, masks are on, desks are wiped hourly...

LOL I'll be looking for Yamaha "25/8" next. "Karen is about to ask you to 'turn it down'" "prepare for lighting OP to be mad when you tell Karen the ION is the soundboard" "Brace for feedback" "Incoming rain in 10"

Your giving me flashbacks to AP English :)

Just so happened to be thinking the same thing LOL.

I’m with ya, I’d love to see it come back. And my experience with those in Austin, from a COVID safety perspective, has been wholly positive. So we’ll say our prayers and see what happens, seems that is about all we can do nowadays haha.

Well here I am... An audio guy behind the MA2. Yikes.Context: My High School prides its self in having one of the best theater tech programs in the nation for a HS (check us out HERE or our YouTube HERE). At the end of our yearly dance show (Zenith) we program a completely over the top light...

This is what I would recommend, after all if it's only off then you could rent a sweet effect processor for the price of getting an OK one used. Plus you avoid any chance of a 'kick it till it works' processor from eBay (been there done that).Congrats on having an upgrade in the near future...

Austin City Limits is currently a go for October... but there are still a lot of details missing so I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets canceled shortly :/ https://www.aclfestival.com/ As for the high school we have a show about a month out. Reduced crew, Cast, and more showings to make up for a...

This is what I run on my mixers, or to a very similar extent. I use a VCA group with similar effects (Vox Effects, Drum Effects, etc) thrown in that I pull up and down as needed, then if I want to mess around with the balance of them I can just open up the VCA. Works great and is quick because...

Hi all- thanks for you $0.02! I agree with what everyone is saying here, both are suitable consoles for the job and it’s good to hear each person’s preference. I’ve always been a ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ kinda guy but being in a church where people have money to spare is certainly...

Howdy from Texas!I currently work as A1 for student worship in a mega church down here. At the moment, we are running a Midas PRO2 (currently using every ch) for FOH and a second one for IEM in our student venue (200 seats). Having just bought a PM5 by Yamaha for our new main venue our team is...
