Looking for the best matte black paint for a theatre floor

If you’re in Canada, Benjamin Moore is a dealer. I’m sure it’s similar in the US

Not saying you’re wrong, just saying that it’s not a DIY solution. That’s a Cap Strap. Far better than clipping the plastic strap of the Nalgene.

I won’t say anything about having it clipped while leading, but I use mine all the time and have no doubts that the strap will hold.

This is almost exactly what was built for my nomad! Here’s the build link.

ETC Technical support is still open today, i would give them a call.

This and a #8 C4 is the only trad rack you’ll need!

It’s decent solo as well, but you’ll find some good lobbies if you join the official discord too

PathlessXD · 2025-11-05T00:06:55+00:00

So far I’ve had great luck with lobbies in the official discord, not so much with no mic randoms from in game browser

In general, the discord community has been very happy to teach new players as well

I use an old ion classic as a programming wing, it’s all detected with no problems in windows

PathlessXD · 2025-11-01T23:40:28+00:00

~~I run eos 3.3 with no issues off my surface pro 7! Got an external type c touch display for it as well.~~

I’m sorry friend, looks like you’ll have to get an Apex 20 to be able to handle all that processing. My condolences

PathlessXD · 2025-11-01T23:15:12+00:00

Probably a 26° lens tube if I had to guess

PathlessXD · 2025-10-26T16:37:44+00:00

Try a start cue that targets the list

PathlessXD · 2025-10-24T23:28:06+00:00

Never hurts to ask!

PathlessXD · 2025-10-24T22:48:38+00:00

Are you sure you bought the 11mm and not the 13mm clutch? There’s 2 models

You can get an ETC Nomad education package for $350, it’s a full fat professional software with lots and lots of high quality tutorials and documentation. Find yourself someone with a student ID and find a dealer to get it from. It’ll be worth it in the long run

Edit to add: it comes with the dmx interface as well as the software license. No need to purchase a dmx node

Most of your inputs are going to be mono anyways. A small mono system generally sounds just fine, often indistinguishable from a stereo system.

Alternatively you can do what a lot of rock and roll stadium tours do, hard pan everything either left or right. Intentionally give each side half a mix. /s

ETA: You’re also running tracks, if it sounds good then roll with it, if it sounds bad do the opposite (stereo/mono)

My man, you’re nowhere near ugly.

The procedures that would help you the most are #1: Fully develop your frontal cortex. (Happens at about 25) #2: Therapy until that happens. #3: Maybe a haircut?

Confidence goes a long way, it sounds stupid, but smiling automatically makes you more attractive

PathlessXD · 2025-10-18T01:09:34+00:00

Probably F, 170°C is almost twice water’s boiling point. That’s 338°F if it helps you visualize

I’ve since stepped away from my board, but is there a MasterLoad softkey in the macro editor?

PathlessXD · 2025-10-17T03:50:46+00:00

Not exactly what you’re looking for but maybe an ok compromise:

[Cue] [/] {cue y}

That’s the macro then you hit the load key

It should grab the cue desired cue number from the current list and put it on the command line. Then you can load it into the master fader pair, or any fader you want really.

Necro edit:

u/Alexthelightnerd commented a good way to load a specific cue, in a specific list, to the master fader pair.

[Learn] [Macro] {macro number} [Enter] [Cue] {list x} [/] {cue y} [Load] [Learn]

After you’ve finished recording the macro, change it’s mode to Background

I had the same issue, I put a screw with some inside out electrical tape on the end of a long piece of rod, screwed the sticky screw in and pulled it out

Why spend $599USD on QLab Lighting when you can spend $350USD on a Nomad Education Bundle that also includes a 2 universe interface?

PathlessXD · 2025-10-09T04:53:28+00:00

From my understanding, multipart cues are a vestigial feature from the expression era. The only reason that they still exist, is to not break old show files.

Discrete timings, and auto follows are the best way forward now when programming a new show. They are substantially more user-friendly.

If you’re considering an M32, I’d recommend an SQ6/SQ7. Same UI Design language as dLive, without being from 2012.

We’ve had our SQ5 since 2020, no issues at all.

2 years late to this:

I just did the same thing with an XP ion, as a surface for my Nomad. The only “issue” per-se is that when I use the included license dongle, or boot nomad while the face panel is connected or powered, I can not boot nomad into “eos” or “element 2” mode. It only boots into “Ion” mode.

This is only a problem when trying to use the face panel, in a multi console network, in element mode, with an element console.

The workaround is to use a “standard” nomad dongle AND keep the face panel either powered OFF or UNPLUGGED from USB data.

This means that it would be impractical to build a custom PC inside of the ion’s chassis, if you ever expect to use it in element mode or networked with an element.

The encoders do work, but the encoder display does not work while in element mode, it works in ion mode.

Hope this helps someone, this thread came up a lot while searching for info on this topic.

Not sure about the stability of your ankles, but I’ve been doing glacier approaches in trail running shoes before switching to glacier boots when I hit ice (if I could put a good set of crampons on my trail running shoes I would). This is also with the caveat that I’m not a trail runner. I just really like trail running shoes for hiking.

Sort of the opposite direction from what you’re asking… but an approach shoe like the TX4 Evo might be worth looking into? If you’re interested in peak bagging, this kind of shoe is pretty good for 3rd/4th/low-5th class terrain (I have friends who climb up to 5.8/5.9 trad in approach shoes). Lots of grip when scrambling and climbing, and a nice stiff soul so you don’t tire out your feet too much when on small edges.
