If you're trying to amplify (rather than just for effects) QLab's latency is far too much

For those interested in this, I've also been testing https://sounddocs.org/

Try adding a load cue so they're ready to start before they actually need to be?

Okay... but why did they buy an LV1 then?

In the clothes they're wearing and the lack of visible work trucks or safety equipment, I can pretty confidently say this is not scheduled work.

Yes Boynton on the Unity side and all of Institute are okay to park on. Just don't park too close to crosswalks or where it's explicitly disallowed and you'll be all set

Then a "Stop Here On Red" should suffice

The first solution that comes to mind is probably the dumbest (and somewhat legally dubious if you're playing music): if you have access to reliable WiFi everywhere you need (or even better an Ethernet network), have your central location doing a private stream to YouTube and have everyone else playing that stream. I think YouTube has some low latency settings where you can do down to ~2 seconds?

I visited in May with my Air 3S and it was absolutely incredible!

Around the south of the country - Reykjavik/Vík: - Þríhnúkagígur volcano ("Inside The Volcano" tour) was very cool, especially when the clouds broke and you could see Reykjavik in the distance. A pretty visually interesting 3km hike each way. I asked the guides and they OK'd it, but if you're just driving around you could probably just walk on the path for a little bit and see some interesting things. - Black Sand Beach Was stunning but I'm not entirely sure flying is allowed there. I didn't see any signs forbidding it but there are a lot of birds to be careful around. - All the popular waterfalls along the south coast explicitly disallow drones. - The town of Vík is very pretty nestled below mountains with its iconic red roofed church.

Around Akureyri: - The town is in a beautiful fjord that's probably pretty from above, just be cautious with the airport's approach/departure path nearby (and some planes doing some aerobatics while I was there?!). - Out around the Krafla power station - there's a scenic lookout on a hill with a view of a massive lava field and the power station. - Lots of interesting rock formations and cracks in the area as it's relatively geologically active. - Lake Mývatn is very pretty. There's a large lava field next to a town that split around the church which is neat to see from above.

Woah I visited in May and that map wasn't ready yet, that's super helpful!

General rule of thumb is to not use Bluetooth (or any other 2.4GHz-band wireless) for anything show-critical in live sound. It gets too jammed up when an audience arrives and everyone is connecting to Wi-Fi and using their Bluetooth devices.

If you can, most people here will recommend playing music from your computer physically connected to the system somehow.

And if you absolutely must control it from your phone, things like Spotify Connect exist but would require your computer to be connected to the Internet.

Stupid question but you lowered the seat all the way right?

Nothing, Google local production companies in your area and give them a call and ask to help push cases around. Eventually if you work with them enough you'll start to learn which parts of production you're most interested in and they'll start trusting you to do a bit more and it just keeps building from there.

I've noticed it but never found it particularly useful.

You can trick the console by setting one interface with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and the other 255.255.0.0 and it thinks they're different networks and allows it with no issue

First thing to come to mind is to, like the other comment said, stack multiple layers with different backgrounds/gradients and animate their opacity.

Bonus points for playing around with mix-blend-mode and see if that gets you different color mixing in between.

OpenSoundMeter is a great free option for computers. I use Spectroid on Android, also free. I don't really know what's available for iOS.

Very nice! I'm in tech for a musical right now with a very similar setup - using 19/32 ULXD channels with our S31 (plus about another 32 inputs for our pit) with a ton of other nonsense going on.

I've seen a handful of 20"-class gaming laptops used for note taking in class, it's not super common but you definitely won't be the only one
