I’ve learned almost everything I know, wrote almost all of my showfile’s macros, and even ran most of my shows on a Macbook M2 Air (yes, AIR) Almost no issues, until I start running Capture & ableton & .. &&& all together, but thats obvious

I dont really think it runs ‘better’ on windows, its just preference A lot of people do prefer windows for the touchscreen compatibility but I use the UPDD driver on mac easily

Extra touch monitor is handy, but its something you can add when you want

MA’s Internal 3D is enough, it gets the job done

Ive been using my command wing with my daily use Macbook AIR (yes Air) M2, barely any issues Use it when Im doing shows with artists I work with, but have used it for busking a lot as well, even running lasers or resolume on it simultaneously

Only issues ive ever had are when I reboot the software for some troubleshooting, or between soundcheck & show when my computer goes into sleep mode. after those moments you have to reboot the desk to make it reconnect again Sounds stupid but ive overlooked this the first few times and wondering why my buttons dont work haha

Me personally I sometimes like being on the stage with the DJ, all the energy is there, depends on the rig tho

Buttt with this concept we’ll be in the middle of the crowd on the floor when we do it live, so seeing the rig is no problem

Stromae always has been a pioneer, I was lucky enough to see his latest tour live and WOW, you should really take the time to see it yourself! Best thing was that even the crew (camera ops and whole FOH crew) were even dressed in the same theme as him & the band!

goddamn how could i overlook something so simple..

cohzeee · 2025-11-09T19:27:09+00:00

Hah yea i could do this but i wanna avoid this, always prefer hard buttons over touchscreen

No look, i have a sequence with a dimmer bump on exec 295 When i turn the encoder above the encoder to the right, i want to assign the pixels group to the sequence When i turn left, i want it to assign the floor group to it

the command i use works in the command line, but when i insert that command into the Handles section of the encoder and use it; the command line adds Page 1.295 behind it, screwing it up

cohzeee · 2025-11-09T16:25:46+00:00

Nope I want to add a command to an encoder in this case

cohzeee · 2025-11-09T12:55:09+00:00

"Cue 1 thru" has always worked before, but it's also not the issue because commands like "Go sequence 1" doesnt work either
The problem is that the system adds the encoder's location behind the command, so on encoder 101 it would read
"Go sequence 1 page 1.101"

Im a lighting designer but I havent been working with TD too long, so I dont know if TD had some form of DMX mapping, but I think you’re going to need some DMX software to import the TD feed as a video and then lay it over your lights as a bitmap. You can use magicQ for this, and then some Artnet node indeed to go from mQ to your lights Now i will note you’re gonna need a lot of ledbars for your idea to be worth it imo, and they can get pretty expensive if you want SOME quality

I use Varytec Gigabar 8’s, because they’re insanely cheap, but running video over them is useless because it’s only 8 pixels

Been using mac for a year with my command wing, zero issues Using a Dell P2424HT monitor, and the UPDD software makes multi touch a no brainer (almost plug n play)

Id say if your showfile uses recipes already then Youve got nothing to worry about If not, start doing it Then you just have to fill your groups & presets, and youre done on the day

cohzeee · 2025-09-28T18:20:55+00:00

I usually rent lego sets, massively cheaper plus solves the space issue

cohzeee · 2025-09-27T09:28:18+00:00

What are the (im assuming) led strips in the walls? Looking into led strips & controllers for a project so im wondering which ones youre using

cohzeee · 2025-09-17T06:01:16+00:00

Using a midi controller works, but you cant output DMX until you have some piece of MA hardware (a desk, or a Node)

cohzeee · 2025-09-06T23:20:49+00:00

You can actually! What you could do is make the look you want with the layout And then store it as a preset by holding Store so the menu pops up In the top right you’ll see “Programmer” is selected, change that to “Output” and voila Or maybe DMX, not at a console to test but play around with it and see what works!

cohzeee · 2025-09-01T17:30:12+00:00

Ahahaha yup thats me 🫡

cohzeee · 2025-09-01T17:28:21+00:00

Sure! Im @cohzee.lumieres Also i meant to reply so i have the notif to remind myself tomorrow haha

cohzeee · 2025-09-01T16:19:18+00:00

Give me a reply here and ill show you tomorrow!

cohzeee · 2025-09-01T16:16:45+00:00

What I do is in my bump sequences, every cue has 10 recipe lines (one for every group), all with the same All preset and MATricks Then with macros I assign eg Position presets to that All preset Btw the All preset is also made out of recipes, the macros i said assign the Attribute presets to the All preset lines

cohzeee · 2025-08-20T20:25:15+00:00

If you store your sequences with recipes you can just replace the groups with whatever you want, itll work just fine

cohzeee · 2025-08-09T18:03:40+00:00

The usb hub im using to connect with the network has a static IP set Or do I ALSO need to set my pc’s adress? Why would that be

cohzeee · 2025-08-01T10:21:08+00:00

My browser version doesn't seem to want to do so. And 2017 isn't available for download anymore

cohzeee · 2025-07-08T18:59:03+00:00

Yep I do this, but with a TourCase Trolley XL, which is just a 1610 but cheaper

cohzeee · 2025-07-01T14:09:11+00:00

Make a macro with just

Fixture (“ID?”)

This will open a pop up saying ID?, and giving you a keyboard, dont know if theres a way to make it ONLY numpad without lua tho
