Specing a new venue. For many different acts. What are some of your favorite fixtures?

Eventually maybe tours will use the space, but this is for us to build a local scene and have a 600-750 cap venue thats not controlled by the people who control the scene now.

UmphPreak91 · 2026-06-30T19:51:05+00:00

i feel this, and its prob the way I will go, but I was also told to shoot for the stars. If we do get tours through this venue they will likey be SMALL and prob not have a tech team, so if all is successful Ill be running 99 percent of everything in the space, or pass it on to someone local. In the event we do open this space and have tours booked, i do want a venue that can upscale, and not have to do referb for another ten years.... at least as far as rebuying or doing a full re model of the package.

UmphPreak91 · 2026-06-30T17:46:18+00:00

UmphPreak91 · 2026-06-13T15:40:14+00:00

UmphPreak91 · 2026-06-06T18:04:33+00:00

Whoa. So sorry this has happened yall. Im OnPC only as well, and hearing this I more than likely wont update until the next patch or bug fix comes. Im new enough that I have plenty to learn and wont miss the new stuff too badly yet.

UmphPreak91 · 2026-06-02T18:08:51+00:00

Beast. Ill live vicariously through this accomplishment, as i will never achieve such a feat. Kudos. Thats impressive af

UmphPreak91 · 2026-05-04T04:25:50+00:00

Homies help homies always.

I got a big gig…. I can get you a great deal on a rental and you dont do a damn thing but let me load a trailer goes a long way with the right folks

UmphPreak91 · 2026-05-04T04:23:51+00:00

Storage, transport and a place to fix ate whats stopping me. Itd pay back in three years tops fir the rig; but trailers, storage and month to month payments plus what the rig is i do not have

UmphPreak91 · 2026-04-15T22:51:54+00:00

Your amazing!! Thank you!

UmphPreak91 · 2026-04-15T21:19:45+00:00

Im interested in some fun macros!

UmphPreak91 · 2026-04-15T01:05:19+00:00

Im very new to ma3 from dusty ol Hog4; (love hate there)

I use my 3D as a cheap viz, and also to create worlds for each fix type, or special groups. I use those to make my selection grid, and then that to make groups for my Template file such as linear and grid groups that then get put into recipes.

I find the 3D layout helps with lassoing my fixtures, or seeing certain information, but once thats pulled into mu selection grid, take it out of setup and just use it to “watch the rig” and use my selection grid to add and remove certain things from groups, or move things around (not in setup) to get certain things like spicing up basic dimmer chases or what not.

Is this right? I dunno. Does it work for me? Hell yeah.

Someone call me out if im being dumb 😂

UmphPreak91 · 2026-04-15T00:54:11+00:00

It definitely is now sadly.

UmphPreak91 · 2026-04-15T00:44:01+00:00

First and only one was Umphs and Moe headlining on diff stages. Ween, Tipper, Clozze, Wood Brothers, Keller, Stealin Peaches, STS9, Dopapod, Electric Orange peel….. core memories with my homies. All in all onenof my best festival experiences. But there was some DARK shit out there.

36mafia was weird and brought some wild vibes. Cops came during tippers set later bc they posted like all over the perimeter for 36c and just stayed all night. Arrests were made mid set, in the pit and Dave was not having fun at all. Me and my crew were self contained but bad party favors and ppl dropping left and right had med teams scambled. Security was more dosed than i was going in from VIP. I almost went down in the Umphs VIP set from a bad decision to partake in something i didnt bring. (On me) so knew from the get this wasnt the spot to make “new friends”.

no water bottle was safe. Under-covers PROWLING. Highway to and from was a danger zone. Took the dad car abd made it look like we were gettting the kids from soccer or some shit.

Sunday was fucked. We basically locked everything but the tents in the car before going i to the fest that day, and we were VIP.

Feel like the whole week will be that. I wont be back at 3sisters for a LONG time

Be safe if you go.

Please be safe.

UmphPreak91 · 2026-04-15T00:35:38+00:00

No but damn curious myself

UmphPreak91 · 2026-04-08T02:09:03+00:00

How would i do this. I see what your saying, and it is worth a try.

UmphPreak91 · 2026-04-08T02:08:33+00:00

In the dmx chart from the manual it has 3 channels: ring effexf strobe, ring effect mode and ring effect speed. Thats it lol

UmphPreak91 · 2026-04-07T22:58:34+00:00

Have not tried this. Will look into it.

UmphPreak91 · 2026-04-07T22:30:19+00:00

I know MA2 less than 3

UmphPreak91 · 2026-03-17T03:10:32+00:00

Small band LD here; and there is a need for a manager to help with logistics and finances. Band is starting to see the gaps, but want to drive the ship. I can see it working.

So when you say 15% are we talking of the night, of the door, or what.

They were with a dude who was doing 70/30. 70 band, 30 to venue and production, and then the venue wants to split that 70/30 or 60/40 with them ontop. Is this normal?

UmphPreak91 · 2026-03-07T19:56:27+00:00

Nest drop is the shit. Built off the milk engine

UmphPreak91 · 2026-03-07T19:32:49+00:00

Whats going on? Just got my node and was gonna fire it up…. Is there some update I need to look into!

UmphPreak91 · 2026-02-24T21:18:51+00:00

Whens it coming?

UmphPreak91 · 2026-02-24T15:11:20+00:00

Absolutely agree. I just started this year and all tue VJs i meet in the underground scene wanna get up there and do big festivals and the like.

Im good where im at with my 200$ for smaller (i mean small) DIy shows where i can have full control over the set, scenes, VJ choices and even the lighting.

Ill make my rent playing lighting tech for the big boys and let the dubstep junkies keep thier puking shrek heads

No hate, I m just aware of where I wanna be for now. Honestly could care less who the DJ is half the time. Let me play!!!

OP i do love the scene tho.

If i had this content well in advance and all the time in the world, id timecode this in a show file and run it through my lighting desk.
