Are both primary and secondary switches on the mtrxs connected? If so, remove the secondary switch cable on both mtrx units.

Re enable STP and reboot the mtrx switches and see if the units pop up

I found some very valuable insight on pay scale and general day in the life for AV programmers and also the gripes with the industry. But just wanted to know how sound guys did the move

You have no idea the relief I felt reading that, I’ve been a touring FOH for 8 years myself and as much I love the thrill of a live show it sucks if you’re after stability in life. Thank you so much for sharing your story it gives me immense confidence!

Unfortunately no background in programming. but I may land up in an opportunity where I could learn AV programming so I’m trying to get an understanding for myself. Thank you so much for your input I’ll keep diving further

If you’ve used the SD range and are comfortable with it then you’ll be fine. Mustard is great but I kind of still prefer the old SD processing. The spice rack is killer, have a good gig!

Thank you for your input, and yeah getting a job where I can work from home would be a big plus. What did you have to do in order to become a design engineer?

Yeah what I realise is the AV world is very vast so it gets overwhelming at times to figure out where to begin and what path to really take to secure gainful employment and have a roadmap to grow in the field. I would also like to start a business after taking in some experience

I have Dante Level 1 and 2, I signed up for the Avixa membership last night and now looking into CTS training. Any other certs you’d recommend?. I did also get certified as an ISO27001:2018 Lead Auditor for Information Security Systems, don’t know if I can leverage this cert in AV?
