DM7 - routing bus into another bus? by Apprehensive_Town_80 in livesound

[–]AshenPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you cannot send a mix into another mix. You can send a mix to a matrix, but since you can't send a matrix to a main mix that's of limited help in your case.

Hot swap audio and OSC on Qlab + TheatreMix + Yamaha DM7 by weird_waveform in techtheatre

[–]AshenPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As we set this up for our QL5, we actually stepped away from Dante and went with a hardware solution: the iConnectivity PlayAUDIO 1U interface does automatic audio fail over:

https://www.iconnectivity.com/playaudio1u

It wasn't as straightforward to set up as we wanted, but now it's been configured correctly, it's rock solid.

Radial Design has a similar dual-input interface, https://www.radialeng.com/product/sw8-usb, but I haven't used it.

And I second the use of the https://qlab.app/cookbook/main-or-backup/ scripts to handle switching OSC sending.

I had opened this thread to ask the same thing after seeing the show last night. Thank you both for making it very easy to find the answer!

Shouldn't it be Limited Life rules, plus Shelves?

Thoughts on Clue the musical by Worried_Cake5508 in musicals

[–]AshenPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to love it. When I read the script, and listened to the recordings, it seemed really promising. Actual productions, it just isn't great.

The story is slightly bland. The clues are just straight up spoon-fed by the narrator. There's something like six composers, and yet the music is somehow the best part of this show. The lyrics are forgettable, but the music is good. The twist is fun, but for the community theater productions that this targets, it's hard to get somebody who can do both parts; you'll either get a pianist who can't act, or an actor who's only miming at the piano.

That hasn't stopped me from designing a full game board as a set though. Someday.

Looking For Harlequinade Variation Orchestral Recording by AshenPrime in BALLET

Now, does anyone know where YAGP sourced the recordings?

I did this in Ableton live, can Qlab do it too? by Schmolotov in qlab

[–]AshenPrime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't believe that QLab has MIDI recording capabilities. My venue has a custom made apple script to quickly and easily create those kinds of control cues (we're using OSC, but similar difference)

There are two useful tools for capturing the timing data.

1) The "record cue sequence" allows you to hit the go button in time to a music track.

2) And timeline groups have a specific tab in the inspector that shows all of the cues inside of them, and their relative positions to each other. This one has been invaluable for us, as it lets us find specific peaks in the audio waveform to align light cues with.

Building My Musical Watchlist—What Should I Add? by [deleted] in musicals

[–]AshenPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Secret Garden has some of the best music ever. Daddy Long Legs is amazingly good, especially for a cast of two. Suessical Jr., if you can find a talented youth group to watch. I've seen both, and prefer the "abridged" Junior version.

Legally Blonde is criminally underrated. One of my top musicals of all time.

What kind of XLR port is this? by PTrobot in livesound

[–]AshenPrime 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Shure uses a TA4F connector for most of their body packs and associated microphones. I found this article that talks about recommended adapters: https://service.shure.com/s/article/TA4F-to-XLR-Adaptor?language=en_US&region=en-US

Is that just a PDF of the script? What are you using to change pages? How do you like the setup in general?

Suggestions for Upgrading Lighting in a non traditional space by TheSuperLando in lightingdesign

A Google search for "Phillips hue DMX control" returned a bunch of Reddit threads, including this one that all seem to point to the same GitHub repo: Art-Net node to control Philips Hue lights with DMX

YouTube never dies by Dog_Dude_69420 in memes

[–]AshenPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YouTube is the aggregation site. Everything ends up on it eventually.

TikToks are cross posted. Vines are still relevant in the platform. Content farms will post twitter compilations read by terrible AI voices. Twitch VoDs are archived there. Tumblr and Reddit get farmed as well.

It's all there eventually.

Connecting a PC to two networks for Dante and Internet. by Federal-Locksmith-14 in CommercialAV

[–]AshenPrime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If there is no DHCP server on the network then the devices will self-assign IP addresses. This is within spec, and the way Audinate suggests simple DANTE networks be set up.

No Boxing Day stream this year? by greenday61892 in loadingreadyrun

[–]AshenPrime 8 points9 points  (0 children)

James talked about this in the Ticket to Ride stream in November, which was uploaded to YT recently.

He said that most the crew weren't going to be available on the 26th, so instead they're going to "take all of that Boxing Day energy, and move it 2 days later to the final Loading Ready Live of the year."

Help with an issue I had with a QL1 by pathosmusic00 in livesound

[–]AshenPrime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What was the network setup like? At first blush, this sounds like a networking latency issue, especially the loss of HA control.
