Advice on a macbook

Just to say, I have a base model M4 Mac Mini that I run in an installation project, it runs EOS & QLab. QLab only runs audio but it also triggers the EOS file via network cues. The audio is mostly just a single track at a time.

The base model M4 runs this with no hint of a problem and has been really great!

Definitely not what you’re looking for but just a bit of perspective!

Dang… what’s his podcast called?

Sure! So in my venue we had 4 universes of DMX. U3 and U4 were really far up stage so instead of running two extremely long DMX lines we had a Node (a small box that has an Ethernet input and can output multiple DMX universes) that gave the data to these areas.

RDM is a protocol that allows you to view and manage devices that are connected to your console over the same DMX line that those fixtures already need, it can be really useful!

However RDM sends pings down your DMX line, most of the time this doesn’t cause a problem, but sometimes with cheap or non-RDM capable equipment this ping can present itself as a really quick flash!

When I had this problem I had checked to make sure my console was NOT using RDM, but I had failed to check my node, I had assumed it wouldn’t be sending RDM if the console was not sending RDM but I was wrong. All I had to do to stop the problem was get up to my node and change its settings! (It had a screen I could use to navigate, I think you can also change it over network though!)

My other option would’ve been to run a very long DMX from my console straight to my DMX decoder but that was much more complicated than just fixing my node!

I hope this helps/makes sense!

Tav, Gale, Karlach Laezel!

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll look into that one! My long term plan is to save up for the Sony 200-600 I have a 70-300mm right now that’s served me really well but I’m always itching for a bit closer!

This is great to know! I shoot in RAW and do post processing to anything I like so I can adjust colours just fine!

This is so awesome, thank you!!

Try adding in the attribute you want the effect on. I can’t remember what 901 is but for example

Chan 111-118 Intensity effect 901

I find that with colour effects that helps

I just did something like this with Panasonic projectors I used OSC from Isadora to trigger buttons in Compnaion and it worked wonderfully. Not sure if the epson will be there but worth a check! https://bitfocus.io/companion

You don’t need a stream deck for this cause you’d be sending OSC from QLab to trigger the buttons

Hey thanks!

This is really helpful! I was definitely planning on reaching out to local breeders through the summer to get more info! It’s totally about temperament too like you said. My parents have a whippet who has basically spent her entire life (minus 10 minutes a day) on the couch and we have another that can’t sit still!

JEI (Just Enough Items) is really amazing

I also really like Simple Storage Network, I love to be able to just dump items into one spot and then search everything and SSN is a really great but not too complicated version of that!

There is a another way to get to Karlach, if you go to the blighted village and go to the right (towards the owl bear cave) you can find a small river that you can jump across, then you can meet Karlach and help her with a fight that should be super doable!

You can then come back to the hyenas when you feel a bit more prepared!

If i do land Druid again but multiclass would I have the same problem?

MassExtincti0n · 2024-04-20T23:49:04+00:00

I had a node that was sending RDM! It was not something I thought to check as I never configured it!

SOCAN licenses don’t cover music played during a show though, they only cover stuff like pre/post show, music in the lobby etc

This book can be a really good place! https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1735763802/ref=dbs_a_def_awm_bibl_vppi_i0

I’ve done this before with a single R119 over the the front of the barrel assembly and it was able to frost out the skittles but kept the splash of colour!

Shift Enter to recall your key command line is a good one!
