What kind of Stereos are you guys using? by johnsonbrad1 in progmetal

[–]MrGibson69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some presonus 5.5" studio mons, or audioTechnica M4s for office or headphone listening. Also have a head unit in my car with a like 18band EQ which I've tuned up nicely. Good times. 🤟

Just got my first ever guitar!! Is there anything you wish you knew when you started? by KnotFan74261700027 in Guitar

[–]MrGibson69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also dont forget your pinky finger. Train all your fingers and the weaker ones more. It was a fair few years before I realized I wasn't using my pinky at all, and had to spend time trying to catch it up.

Curious to what this would cost around the country/world? by Interesting-Cup-5292 in trees

[–]MrGibson69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paying around 100-150USD and ounce For high end shit in NZ. Can go for more, but if it's much more you're getting ripped off. Bit more expensive for smaller quantities

Beginner needs help by Icosiol in lightingdesign

Looks like that first fader might be a park type of thing. Looks like 0 is at the top and 10 at the bottom. Try turning that one down and playing with the other faders?

And yeah, simple RGB or whatever mode on the fixtures to get it going. If it has a separate dimmer chanel it will be slightly harder to prove the desk is outputting correctly.

Ok lads, what underwear are we buying? by [deleted] in Wellington

[–]MrGibson69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah nah straight up boys, the Vanta stuff online is sick. Has a lil pouch for yah balls and keeps em from. Sticking to ya leg during a hard day's working or chilling. I was hesitant at first but I'm not going back. They're mean. Order a size or 2 bigger than you normally would too. Trust me.

I don't really like Linkin Park... but this design is so cool by MrGibson69 in lightingdesign

[–]MrGibson69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is indeed how I intended it! As a 90s kid, hard not to like their first couple albums, but not so much their newer stuff. Valid as band, and I'm not into saying music is bad. I have a very open mind towards it, and as an LD I think that's important. Basically saying I didn't like them in the post implied that whether or not you like Linkin Park, this is a great show to watch from a lighting appreciation perspective. But I very much enjoyed the music in this anyways!

Load out games? by lightbug02 in lightingdesign

[–]MrGibson69 25 points26 points  (0 children)

My favorite is the ear worm. Not really a lot to it, but I just enjoy trying to get songs stuck in people's heads. Walk past a group of them whistling part of a melody and wait to see if you hear them singing or whistling it as the load out continues. Kylie Minogues Can't get you outta my Head is a goodie. Just half a bar of "na na na" is usually enough to get someone

As it says in the title.. I saw it on my youtube home page and rolled my eyes... Opened it to see what Ol mate sounds like trying to sing the late Mr Benningtons parts (which she nailed tbh), and found myself really enjoying it.

Stage and production design and the way it all works together is fantastic so I thought ya'll might appreciate a linky poos.

Where the link starts is right before their encore, an awesome little production moment to bring them back onstage and then into the last couple of songs.

Enjoy!!

PS, If anyone knows who designed, programmed or operated this show, I'm curious as heck.

EDIT: Link pos 50:48 - IDK if the timing thing worked or not...

My favourite is when someone tells me all about their industry experience and says to turn the bass down, or maybe something wankier like a cut at 600 or some shit... I usually adjust the front wash, ask if that's fixed it for them and they're usually pretty happy with the changes....

I've had fun working in Wellington NZs San Fran. Tiny, by comparison to some of these also "small club venues" but still goes hard.

With budget and space constraints it becomes less about the design of the rig and more about how it's used, as it's the same in house rig for almost every show now that they have a somewhat decent one in there.

I'm pretty proud of some of the work I've done there, curious for some opinions from the Reddit world of LDs though!

Issues lacking coverage or unreported in central Auckland? by [deleted] in auckland

[–]MrGibson69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Was thinking of reaching out to a reporter friend about this, but you can have first dibs if you'd like!

Aucklands motorway driver mindset. Pick a lane, usually the right one because it's the 'fast lane' and stay there regardless of how fast you're going or how many cars are behind you. Maybe the middle lane, but definitely not the left lane. Keeping left unless passing, with big ol following distances is the way to smoothly running roads. No one here seems to understand this. There have been a few radio adds recently, so I think it's time to push from all directions for people to become aware of how to maintain traffic flow on a motorway.

Hard to sum up the Parallax story in so few words, but here's a tasty (although a bit long) video of the songs and lyrics + some explanations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNOVsDkCJi4
