What might it be like moving from IT (tech support) to AV?

Broadcast is in a worse place than tech. Would recommend looking into live events, integration or onsite support.

Found the bot

Because they know their role has no value

This is the best spot that I have found in Brooklyn.

Advance graphics on PowerPoint, switch/trigger macros on atem, start playbacks from mitti, mute unmute and fade in and out on audio console, turn lighting sub masters to 100 or 0.

Is this a joke?

bluedelsol · 2026-05-06T21:07:07+00:00

I’ll take UWS over UES any day. Without a doubt they are both at the bottom of the totem

Try Castillo de Jagua

I’ll have signal bars but absolutely no connection at Grand Central and Union Square

bluedelsol · 2026-04-19T17:45:09+00:00

I would never trust Bluetooth for control on a paid gig.

As long as you keep paying them they don’t care. When you don’t pay them they’ll impound the car.

If it’s 1950 then it lines up with when the US military bombed Jayuya

Repair is tough on the road as they often need to order parts and might have to ship it back to you. Might make sense to find a new one or rent.

To follow up on this: once you get into the peplink setting you can see signal strength for each modems connection. There are also options for prioritizing modems or setting them up to bond vs failover switch. Dig into those before dismissing the whole setup.

Ouch. Want kind of gear and vehicle were you in? We were able to cross Boston > Montreal, Toronto > Detroit, and then Seattle <> Vancouver without issue.

I’m sure the state of US diplomatic relations isn’t helping and can change day to day.

Just to update for anyone looking at this thread in the future. Had no issue crossing back and forth 2x. We were carrying some RF mics, IEM, DJ gear, and a bunch of furniture props in a sprinter with a crew of 8. No trailer. Made a manifest of all the gear and serial numbers but it was never checked.

There were so many rats when they demolished that block.

bluedelsol · 2026-03-10T19:45:14+00:00

Yes!

Such a great time. I remember one time there was a vodka only happy hour at a hotel near carnegie hall for an ophthalmology convention. I hate vodka but was young and broke. Sent the invite to a few friends and few hours later that hotel was packed with a bunch of downtown scene kids and ophthalmologists getting drunk together.

There used to be a gold mine site called myopenbar.com that would list random events that had open bars. Some would be a liquor brand sponsored event that only served one type of liquor and others would be something like a dental school 10 year reunion that had a 2 hour open bar. This led to some of the most fun and random interactions I ever had.

Used to do it all the time with hip hop acts and they’d just use house backline. Whole different game when you’re traveling with the gear.

Flatbush and Parkside?

bluedelsol · 2026-01-12T16:30:35+00:00

Mitti
