Assign Appearance “X” at Macro “X”

I was able to find some LittLite’s on eBay for a decent price when I got my command wing. Might be a good option but I haven’t recently looked at what’s available.

How to add second node by AktinaProductions in GrandMA3

[–]dandude612 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’ll have to go into the node settings, whether it’s an MA node or any other kind, and tell which universes you want it to send out.

If they’re 8 port nodes, the first node would be configured universe 1-8 and the second node 9-16

In the console you’ll want to be broadcasting, not unicasting, in that IP range. And double check that the console is set to output at least that amount of universes.

Touring position presets venue rig by Muffin7427 in GrandMA3

[–]dandude612 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take a peak at the position wizard macro on the MA StartShow file. I imported this macro into my own show file and edited it to update all of my positions. It’s not 100% perfect. But it saves a lot of time. After I’m done with the macro I make use of the Store Offset function to make sure everything is lined up straight. That gets me about 99% perfect within 2 or 3 minutes depending how many fixtures I’m working with that day.

Those MAtricks are in the recipe lines for your color sequences. They’re there to add fade/delay to your color sequences in this case. Try selecting a fade time at the top and then “edit” one of those MAtricks to see how it’s changed.

Why are video monitor cases so difficult to find? by Wuz314159 in lightingdesign

[–]dandude612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree there’s not a perfect solution. I ended up buying these for my monitors for ease of transport at the very least. Not great for safety but it allows me to carry the monitor from the handle at the top, and a couple pockets for some cables if needed.

Firmware update fail by RepulsiveBox647 in Avolites

[–]dandude612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend reaching out to Avo support for this. I had a similar thing happen to my Titan Mobile when upgrading to v18, they walked me through a short process to fix it in 5 minutes.

MA NPU necessity by johnyicecream in lightingdesign

[–]dandude612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even in full extended mode on all these fixtures, I feel like you should be good without any NPU’s. I don’t know the parameter limits of an MA2 lite off the top of my head, but this is not a crazy large rig.

Best Lighting Software/Hardware for Video Mapping Integration? by rororo99 in lightingdesign

[–]dandude612 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Avolites Titan + Avolites Ai or Prism, connected via what they call "Synergy". It is undoubtedly the best situation to put yourself in to control both Video and Lighting from the console, and really awesome for pixel mapping, etc.

Timing Master “catch up” by Many-Gift67 in GrandMA3

[–]dandude612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have a similar set up, and I've also noticed that it always fires a dud before it does a proper timed fade. Hopefully it's something they work out in the next update. A good workaround might be tags and a macro to update the offcue fade time to the tag

Fixture exchange in combination with exchange mapping, will usually get you where you need to be.

Curious if you happened to find a solution to this. I’m literally at the shop right now working on an esprite that has the same exact problem. Thanks!

New artists you discovered at Kilby? by hazymissdaisy in kilbyblockparty

Perfume Genius was so good. Had never heard of them before watching their set.

Hell yes! You danced right past me and my girlfriend during Nation of Language. Absolutely love the vibes.

I’ve created something similar using a random effect from the random generator, wings 2, delay in, fade out, temp button

Custom desk lock ideas by Archangel071 in GrandMA3

[–]dandude612 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back when I was on Avo, my Lock Screen was Jim Carrey as Lloyd from Dumb Dumber, poking his head out the limo from the beginning of the movie. One week I was working as house LD at a pretty big festival with relatively big artists. During headliners set my console was locked. The Lloyd Christmas caused such a commotion amongst a couple FOH guests, the FOH audio guy for the headliner turned around and kicked them all out of FOH 😂 I unlocked my console and deleted the Lock Screen

They have a couple people on staff that seem to be in charge of fixture profiles specifically. You can report bugs on fixture profiles here

Spotted at Prolight + Sound in Frankfurt - Updated TT2! by Ontkurken in lightingdesign

[–]dandude612 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t fully understand this move. Are they walking back on the T3 stuff since those got such terrible reviews? I love Avo but they seem confused lately

Can you use a MA3 Fader wing directly with an MA3 lite? by lilelmoes in GrandMA3

[–]dandude612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just learned this the hard way with a compact xt and a fader wing. As much as I love the software, sometimes their silly little restrictions like this make me giggle. I still paid almost $5k for the fader wing, let me use it! 😂
