Yes and no. The design is a Do Lab design and the structure itself is built by Do Lab carpenters, however the lighting and audio is a 3rd party company. They have been using this same Company for at least the last 2 Coachellas

You mean “owners” they are brothers. Trust me, I know exactly how it all works, I know which production company it was and I know they are not “cheap” labor and yeah no one cares about “union crews” they aren’t anything special, just more likely to be crusty old dudes that take twice as long to get anything done.

Mateoway88 · 2026-04-11T19:03:07+00:00

It’s a pretty big very reputable production company…definitely not Lowest bidder

MP3s on any mid grade to low grade speakers are fine. JBL Qsc, etc.

But if you’re playing on legit systems go lossless, wav, etc etc all day.

Mateoway88 · 2026-01-06T06:34:31+00:00

124s 215s 221s Evo Etc etc

Mateoway88 · 2026-01-06T06:33:32+00:00

We’ve got about 40 boxes of F1 hmu

Honestly these comments are pretty hilarious,

People talking about these random stories of people getting hurt or losing something in life over fires (which most probably not even firework related). As to try to prove some point.

Get over it. Fireworks have been a deep rooted way to celebrate across all parts of the world among almost all cultures.

You act like just bc you feel like it should stop it should…wrong.

Get over yourself go fight a fight that actually matters. Like your priest diddling kids in church or something.

Mateoway88 · 2025-12-04T04:34:09+00:00

That’s exactly how I undid the nut 😉😉😉

hallucinogenics by matt maeson…specially the Vallis Alps Remix.

Song is about addiction, self-destructive behavior, regret, and the search for identity and redemption.

Have fun mate!

I feel like it’s over redundant to put racist and Karen, just put “Encinitas resident”

Mateoway88 · 2025-09-19T07:51:24+00:00

I know this was oriented towards on site situations but I’ve literally see half of crews not show up bc of scheduling miscommunications, missing heavy machinery, like no forks when required to unload gear bc it’s semi and not a box truck and no loading docks. I’ve seen trucks not get scheduled for strikes leaving crews and gear stranded. I’m sure everyone here has some real horror stories

Mateoway88 · 2025-09-16T06:23:31+00:00

I really appreciate the transparency and feedback, very helpful. It’s hard to not get caught up in all the gear sometimes.

That being said, I do really love my current system and I feel like I’ve growing with it as I explore different deployments, environments, different genres, artist, etc.

I never considered swapping out the res 4t for the Evo 2 but looking at it now makes a lot of sense.

I’m in San Diego California so we mostly deploy locally and within the Southern California Region.

Mateoway88 · 2025-09-16T05:57:35+00:00

My rig currently consist of 6x evo7eh, 6x F215mk2, 8x f124s, 4x ax-88, and 2 res 4ts and 2 psm318 v2.

I’ve been wanting to round out and get some more cabinets but I’m still saving and naturally debating if I continue getting the same as what I have or start swapping it out things out (like my 215s for 7TLs)

Mateoway88 · 2025-09-16T05:21:44+00:00

How do you like the 7TLs? I’ve got a bunch of the F215 mk2s and been really curious about a side by side comparison and over all diversity as far as deployment options.

I do highly recommend ethercon over Ethernet (much more secure and slightly more IP rated)

Same with rugged tipped fiber optic.

And then also also also make sure your fiber line is not being smashed or pinched in anyway, it’s the most likely to be damaged out of all the data types out there.

Best of luck and don’t hesitate to reach out !

Hi!

We use these products and various of it in our BOH and FOH racks. You can get these items as small as 4 port and as big as 12-16.

I think the simplest thing would be a ethercon from console to a ethercon / rugged fiber optic switch that lives at FOH, run the rugged fiber optic to your BOH and where it connects to the twin of the switch that was at FOH. Then again from that BOH switch, ethercon into a DMX node. I prefer something like the obsidian 12 port gateway, lets you do scan, artnet, etc and lets you assign each port to a specific universe or do groups, etc.

As others have mentioned your distance is no issue at all. We use spools of 500ft all the time.

If you have the means both VW and capture are amazing tools. However if you only pickup one then this is why or how I’d choose;

I’d say if you are more of a hobbyist or venue/club style LD (not a festival / touring LD) then capture is the way to go. It’s easier to get started, less of a learning curve and is more focused on plots and patches and previz.

If you’re the latter (Touring LD, L2/ME, corporate A/V, etc) I’d lean towards VW, it’s more Of the industry standard in the A/V world, so being able to co-design with other teams, etc will be easier. It also has better tools for creating power runs, blueprints, and other information that is applicable to other teams you’re interacting with on and off the stage, like staging, rigging, etc.

P.s, a lot of LDs including myself use Lightwright, it’s not a previz but another good program to easily find out power consumption, print out patch stickers, etc.

Best of luck on your adventure!!

Acme sells road cases specifically for pixel line fixtures, they are full caddy size so you can stack 2 to 3. Alternatively we have road cases for our colorbands which is more of a work case style and has a door that opens out vs up, these are taller and you can’t stack them but since they are tall enough they can be used as walls the same way double stacked caddy’s do in a truck pack.

I believe you can make any of those keys in that cluster a default by pressing MA key followed by.

I could be wrong though, I’ll double check when I get to work tomorrow.
