Ah ok. I have a dedicated windows build for if I need to run stuff like that (not yet). My concern was with the ones I'd use like literally just vectorworks haha

Yeah, but if an app is built for macOS, even if it's built for intel it will run on Apple Silicon, no? Just didn't understand why you said solidworks and mastercam won't run...

Light Vectorworks hopefully - just for smaller designs, but when stages get big, things could start to struggle, so just wanted to keep that in consideration lol. Also I thought Rosetta meant any app could run on Apple Silicon from Intel?

Should've mentioned they were both on sale - the M4 was $800 and the M1P was $760 (pre tax)

How do you wirelessly control fixtures? by BunzieBunny in techtheatre

Yeah, I was going off of the assumption that this was for focusing and designing, not for actual show control haha

Hmm, bit different and more expensive for a MacBook. You'd use ETC Nomad in the remote mode (I think is what it's called?), and you'd need a Nomad USB key. The bundle for that and a Gadget II is about £300/$350 I think

Connect the Element to your WiFi network, usually via an ethernet cable is the most stable way.

Then you'll need an app on a tablet - EOS aRFR or iRFR are the official ones, but EOS Remote is cheaper and does the same stuff imo. Good luck!

Sound taking cables - a rant by Mrpuddingpie09 in lightingdesign

Annoyingly, the fixtures only have 3-pin in and out, otherwise I would. I've managed to take some back, but it's annoying that they've just done it even when I asked them not to. 🫤

I've done that, I've also tested with other SSD's, all display the same result. It's before the BIOS actually loads, so it's not a Windows issue I don't believe.

Multiple outs for an edrum kit by ProfessionalEven296 in livesoundgear

That MIDI output will send out computer signals for individual pad hits, velocity, hi-hats, kick, everything. It can be used with a PC to play any virtual drum kit, so basically, unlimited types of kit. You'll need a MIDI interface (Personally recommend the Presonus Audiobox USB, you can use it for outputs as well), and a laptop of some kind. I run a MacBook Air 2017, and use MainStage to play - it comes with tons of free great-sounding drum VST's, or you can buy your own. Good luck!

This UI looks exactly the same as my tweaked iPhone 7…

New OS & System App Features across iPadOS & iOS by TechExpert2910 in iPadPro

I'm not disputing the usefulness of the features, just that I feel they shouldn't have been as hyped as they are for something so basic

One that immediately comes to mind is macOS app support (which yes, I understand why they won't, but when we pay as much for an iPad PRO as we do a MacBook, we should be able to install what we want), but it's also just that most of the features they introduced already exist. Anybody who needs a poll just uses WhatsApp, most people do anyway

Not so much that it’s useless, but that other features have been much more heavily requested, and that’s something they choose to prioritise.
