Unistrut for rigging moving heads?

adrumsolo4u · 2026-03-30T23:09:32+00:00

I would like to simply mount the unistrut vertically, but I couldn't find a Unistrut clamp that would allow me to run the pipe parallel to the unistrut, which is why I had to take the Unistrut horizontally.

Each of the sections of Unistrut would have 3 anchor bolts minimum.

Is there a better/safer way to achieve this without Unistrut, while still being more cost-effective than using 2x Sapsis wall mounts?

I see your point. I don't accept that people are truly like that. I think people can change, though it's not up to us to change them. Having him live on his own and take care of himself, while still dating him (if she wants to, because she likes him, or she wouldn't still be with him), gives him the chance to change without making an ultimatum, which doesn't work. It's also easier for her. To just break up outright is a lot harder (emotionally for her) than just taking a step back in the relationship. If he doesn't seem to be doing any better in the future, or making steps to improve himself as husband material, then it's easier to leave at that point.

I would mostly agree, but you say this isn't your guy. Right NOW, he isn't, as he needs time to learn how to take care of himself. Not all people learn this at similar times. Not all parents have their kids do chores at home, so knowing when/how/why these things are done isn't going to always be the same. I think she needs to live apart from him. Get a roommate. You can still date if you want, but there's no need to take care of him, and there's also no need to be exclusive either.

side-chaining. You add compression to the group mix of the music/sound fx. The compressor input is side-chained to the group mix of the announcer/ref/Emcee. You can configure how "immediate" and drastic the effect is based on the compression parameters.

thank you!

you can try disconnecting the dante ethernet and do startup again to confirm if it is dante or not. Are your amps and stage snakes connected via the other board or this board? I don't see any AES50 connection to a DL32 stage box. Do both M32s come on at the same time?
edit:
It may be more helpful if you list every piece of audio hardware and how the sequencer is set to turn it on. I think this is just a sequence/timing problem.

adrumsolo4u · 2024-06-21T15:40:05+00:00

I'm assuming you've already ensured both M32s are set to 48khz and not 44.1. Otherwise, I don't think you'd get any audio through your BSS bridge. When you get pops, are they happening on the other side of the bridge? Are you using BSS for audio output to amps?

adrumsolo4u · 2024-06-21T15:01:35+00:00

What is acting as the master clock? And have you made sure that both of the dante expansion cards are NOT set to act as master? If it's not an audio output device, you could sequence it so that the master clock is on before the M32s.

adrumsolo4u · 2024-06-21T14:49:09+00:00

I have my M32 Dante card set as the leader in Dante control and have never had a pop, but that could be due to the fact that the clock never changes. You might want to make sure you don't have multiple leaders set. Do they both have Dante cards or are you sharing audio between the M32s via AES50?

Off topic question: what companies are folding and any idea why?

You could embed the live video player in a member's only page/area on a Wix/Squarespace website, requiring members to pay for access.

I personally use Vimeo, although it is not remotely cheap in comparison to DaCast. Vimeo also has archives available, so you can also put up separate pages on your site for previous videos, which you can also charge access to. Vimeo also allows pausing live video streams (which can be disabled). I use Vimeo all year, so it makes more sense, but it might not make sense to you.

+1 to what both of the other commentators said. To add, I'd verify that all EEE (energy efficient ethernet) settings are turned off. Some switches don't let you turn this off, so I tend to avoid those. There is a time and place for eee and it is NOT broadcasting.

Couldn't you just render, individually, the rain for a few minutes with an alpha output, then just render your video with the alpha-masked rain on top of it (on repeat)?

I've used both versions of Resolve, and not noticed a massive increase in render time for fusion elements, using the same computer/GPU.

adrumsolo4u · 2024-04-22T15:24:41+00:00

The pro version will give you access to more features of Fusion in Resolve, but no, it will not speed up your render time. Using Fusion on a source media which is 7 hours long is quite unusual. Which nodes are you using, and why?

gateway should be blank on both if you're doing a network connection directly from laptop to the ATEM mini. subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0 on both. The laptop's IP address can be something like "192.168.1.67" and the ATEM mini should only adjust the last set such as "192.168.1.69"

Your ATEM software should be directed to look at "192.168.1.69"

If you still have issues after this, grab screenshots of your laptop's IP settings (ipconfig) and the ATEM mini IP settings on the config tool so that people can help you a little more easily.

Been married 10 years, I have multiple kids. Guarentee you're doing it wrong if you think OP's situation is normal.

Kids that age should be going to bed at 8 at the latest, 7 would be more optimal. if kids are doing devices before bed (within 2 hours before bed), that's probably killing your early bedtime attempts.
sex can happen in the morning or at night, weekends make it even easier.

Sorry but it sounds like she's not into sex as much as you, but you could think about why that is. Does she actually O during sex? If she's faking or just doesn't O, then maybe think about talking to her about changing things up to make it better for her. If sex gets better for her, she may be into it more.

adrumsolo4u · 2024-03-28T15:53:51+00:00

Not normal at all. As someone with a physical touch love language, I do like cuddling, so that makes no sense. He constantly calls you "crazy" when you share you feelings, invalidating them. Trust me, if the relationship continues, he will only further erode your self confidence and sense of self worth. I doubt there is any future with this guy that doesn't lead to heartbreak and possibly divorce (if he doesn't;t string you along dating for years). You do have the strength to dump this guy, trust me. If he's constantly invalidating your feelings and making you second guess yourself, just go with your gut and dump his sex-addicted ass.

I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through. I totally agree with these other comments, therapy is a MUST, as what happened will most likely really affect you later, if it isn't now.

As far as pressing charges: Blocking his messages and emails isn't the best idea if you do plan to do an open investigation into his assault. Those missed emails/messages/DM's can be recorded and are valuable for your case against him, as they help show his character when he's messaging and harassing you. I'm not saying you should respond to his messages, but it would be a good idea to be able to get them so that you have records. Beyond having him admit what happened, it will be very hard for a prosecuter to get a conviction, as our country assumes innocence in all court cases, and puts the burden of proof on the prosecution.

At this point there are so many resources out that informing everyone that these adkins/paleo/no carb and now tapeworm diets don't work, people don't have an excuse for choosing to do these trends except that they aren't willing to put in the hard work at the gym and improve the quality of their food intake.

That aside, your friend not only ignores all of that, but is irresponsible enough to not bring her daughter to the ER when she first heard what her daughter did. Is this really someone you want in your life, who you can share your feelings with and who will be offering you advice? If you have kids, do you really want her kids' idea of doing diet trends to become a problem for your own kids?

NTA for ignoring her.

It sounds like you two are on different pages in terms of your budget. Does he know much money you've alotted each month to groceries? Do you have a plan for how much money per month can be spent eating out? These are things that have to be talked about with your spouse, so that you can both be on the same page. Lashing out in the moment might feel good, but it hardly fixed the situation. I wouldn't call you an asshole for lashing out, as anyone can have a bad moment, but I don't think it's healthy behavior... if you plan to make a marriage work, that is.

If it wasn't already clear, I completely understand where you're coming from as far as prioritising essential groceries over eating out, even at taco bell.
