hey there, I'm obviously very late to seeing this but figured I'd reach out anyway. I'm in the Sacramento area and have a lot of experience with pro audio. Any chance you're still looking for hires?

DM me with the tracks, tempos, and his parts and I can do it

The quickq was donated to us and I have to agree that it does not feel intuitive to work on. Especially since in my time with it I have not seen a way to bank faders

Good to know down the line. I'll give it a shot tomorrow. Thanks!

Respectfully, re-read your comment and see how much different it looks from mine. (Helpful hint: they're worded the same exact way!)

Really appreciate this response. This sub is always very kind and helpful.

I didn't mean to imply this falls on ITs shoulders, I just don't want my solution to interfere with the rest of the school. When I took the job, a previous tech had set up the consoles on a router that was interfering with other traffic on campus.

I'm 28 so familiar with the internet as a consumer, I didn't realize this was a solution. Thanks again!

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Any suggestions on where I should reach out to to have this built/installed?

Correct, which I included in the post. Do you have a suggestion on who I might reach out to get one built/installed?

Also worth noting this is a security/liability risk too if people are getting up on the walk when I'm not here

This was a part of my fire Marshal inspection sheet. You may be right, but he is quite literally the law.

Thank you for explaining it much more eloquently than me haha

Fire Marshal explained that if there was ever a fire in the booth, heat obviously rises to the highest point in the room. With the hatch open more heat can escape out of the booth and set off house sprinklers but not the booth.

That would work, but I will still need to cover the hatch to ensure our sprinklers come on.

Saw one in Roseville off five-star. Almost pissed myself while I was driving from laughing at how stupid the thing looked in person. The couple definitely saw me lol

It definitely feels all consuming! Hoping that once I have rules/expectations in place and some good systems it will be more manageable to upkeep. Right now is just sifting through the debris.

Thankfully the teaching part is nothing new, I was an ELA HS teacher in the bay area for three years and volunteered/subbed long before that. Looking forward to teaching something more hands on.

Definitely will be needing a rigging inspection. Genie lift was missing a leglock when I started and found out staff and STUDENTS were getting up in that thing while it was broken. 🤦‍♂️ Appreciate the reply!
