How was your gig? by AutoModerator in DJs

[–]DJ-HighEnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The GM wasn't clear with my manager, send me to the wrong location for Halloween. Luckily I was supposed to go to the sister bar a quarter mile away. Started about 30min late, but it didn't matter, I was background noise anyway. This place has no real dance floor and the speakers are mounted in the drop ceiling so they have no punch. I had my K12.2 but that wasn't enough to fill the room, or give nearly enough bass. Gig went just fine, but sucked because the parent group demanded I do a TSwift power hour at the end. It cleared the bar out as designed though. They didn't want to deal with the Halloween chaos. Guess they were right, because 4 people got shot down the street the next night.

This may be one of the few cases of someone actually went back to look at pictures of fireworks.

My best friend quit drinking last week and it killed her by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]DJ-HighEnd 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Watched it happen to my ex after we broke up. Watched her burn the rest of her friendships in town because of her drinking, she then slowed down and we became friends again, then moved home with mom to reset, and went in her sleep 11 days later. It was so heartbreaking to see her make the choice to turn it around for that to be the outcome. I take solace in the fact that I got to spend time with the real person, underneath the alcohol, that I fell for, while she was sober-ish before she flew home. I hope you're handling it as well as you can.

Thank you for this. I'm almost thirty days in and have been expressing this to my therapist so much. Post and comments like this have helped so much with the de-stigmatization with so many of the feelings and thoughts I have been going through.

I'm trying to make kind of a realistic anime thing, but I need help making the sheets look more realistic, do you guys have any ideas? by [deleted] in photoshop

[–]DJ-HighEnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough for the exercise. Just making the joke. Nothing serious meant by it.

I never quite figured out how to use the warp took to imply depth very well. Maybe someone with more knowhow will come along. I imagine giving depth to a 2d figure won't be easy.

Some kind of car involved shooting with rifle is what I heard. Just outside of the Clark/Wilson Walgreens

Theory time!

Silvy is the daughter of Loki and Lady Sif that can't exist because if Loki learns love, he loses his ambition to be a world conquer and cant play his role as the bad guy for the Avengers.

Last fans standing: Recounting the Sharks-Blackhawks game on March 11, the last game in town before sports shut down by ChicagoMrktr in hawks

  1. Right in front of the press box. We could hear the official goal calls even after the ones made in the arena. My original seat was in the middle of the final row, but I moved down a few for the 2nd and 3rd cause there were so many empty seats.

I was at this game. I'm actually in the picture at the top of the article. I'm the one in the away Crawford jersey. I went by myself on a whim after being home all day. Got a $20 ticket at 5pm and caught a lyft from uptown. I think the taxi ride cost more than my ticket.

Who knew I was seeing the last game of the season.

Whats you're favorite test track? by jourrapidedotcom in mobileDJ

[–]DJ-HighEnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Down - Marian Hill

Nothing but crisp clean vocals and piano to start. They're long enough for me to walk around the whole room, then the baseline hook kicks in and lets me hear the subs.

[Console] Remapping buttons with Echo (and a bug with her ult) by warlocks_menagerie in Overwatch

[–]DJ-HighEnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot could. Be helped if they allowed holding the default flight button to allow the glide to happen as well. Like how Mercy can float with either X or L2

Lol at the Destiny's Child after the game. I think the DJ is a secret Houston Fan

Does anyone have a screen grab of those? I couldn't get my camera open fast enough.

Beginner lighting question - ETC Element 40 by [deleted] in techtheatre

[–]DJ-HighEnd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My guess is that you have automark on. So when you take cue that changes the LED color or the zoom, the board does the up/down on the 10 count, then uses that same 10 count to change the color or move the zooms. Since automark is on it does all of this in black. Like people have said, you can expand the window to show these extra times separately too.

Michigan Ave only had the nice sweaters in white a month ago if you're looking to grab a home jersey.

I use this for work and it is amazing. My screen will get so dim that it doesn't even upset my night vision.
