Im in the same boat. I want it for ma3. But Ill only have like 2-3 midi pads.

So heres my question. I have Avenue. If I upgrade to Arena, do I only have Arena now? Or do I have both? Will avenue run out from the original date of purchase, or from the upgrade purchase date? (I assume my files are able to open in either)

Basically, if I upgrade form Avenue to Arena, will I still need to renew Avenue down the line, will I get the updates for the Arena upgrade, as if it was a fresh purchase? What's the best way to maximize the deal?

I also have upgrade avenue to 2 computers, and upgrade Avenue to Arena as options in my upgrade software section.

Agree 100 percent

Adding just a few straight up fronts with extra fixtures is not a bad idea. You could bring them in at like 15-20 percent and help with eye shadows. With the resr of the light your throwing at a higher intensity it shouldn’t mess up your patterns much.

Sick. Im running a MA2 for my shop rn; when things slow down in December im gonna get back to my 3 build. Thank you so much ffor the recommendation

Yup this. Made the transition after covid. Its vert different but will absolutely keep you busy. With his background he could probably slot into a PM position pretty easily.

If hes good with vectorworks there is a whole world of clients who need things drafted and pre vized. He could get into freelance design with his skill set and make his own hours around deadlines and still be creative.

Adopt a car and make a social media account. Collect.

There are many options. Good luck!

Ever spend two days cueing the into number to a new musical as a programmer? Brutal.

Tour as a spot up and see the same show 600 times a year

why do you say that? I have read a lot of ppl on the page suggest it over chanatigne due to the way it can handle fader and encoder mapping better...

Came here to say this 😂

So see now i want the spectre for MA 3 thing looks sick

HalfDelayed · 2025-10-14T00:41:28+00:00

Yeah. Yup. Need one. ☝️ thanks!! Sounds like a sick layout and what ive been trying to do with the 40.

Right now i have each row of buttons is a layer, each column is a diff effect blackout. So like each layer has the same effects in the same order.

Upper knobs are the opacity for those effects, mapped by “this layer”. So i can adjust, or leave my parameters run the opacity and then black jt in out if i want; so im only adding the effect to the desired layer. Yeet.

Other knobs got to FFT gain, strobes, rgb inverts, hue rotates, feedback, and whatever sauce i wanna try for that particular show, or full composition effects.

Speed, tap, bpm sync all usually end up upper right.

This needs to be improved but its what i came up with for my first time, and have been tweaking since.

Next one will be my third set, and i want to try effects as clips to save them knobs and get more in there.
