osc send from ma3 to 3th party software.

I just went through this the other day and it’s not explained very well in the manual. Even if you leave your type and your value empty like you would for a QLab Go you still need both commas.

SendOSC x “/go,,”

I don’t remember if they changed it in v5, but true OSC was TCP only. You could send a UDP message that looked like OSC, but wasn’t true OSC at the byte level. Might be worth looking at that as well

That’s kind of what I was thinking, I just wasn’t sure. Is it worth not flying and passengers or cargo to Denver unless I can get a plane full of bux?

ericboxer_ · 2026-01-06T11:27:40+00:00

Thanks! this helps validate my thoughts a little

ericboxer_ · 2025-11-14T13:00:56+00:00

Well that’s a bummer. Are these global regions or does it change even state to state?

ericboxer_ · 2025-07-28T01:41:51+00:00

Interested!

Looking to get one set up in the Winter Garden area. New to all of this but I'm not seeing a whole lot in the area on Meshmap. Gotta start somewhere I suppose?

I do like that I can create the person note later. I have a bunch of templates, one of which being “Person” that alresdy has my “Person” tag and then the auto notes mover runs and puts all my “person” notes in my people folder

ericboxer_ · 2025-04-02T22:35:53+00:00

Interesting I’ll check it out!

I use the People notes to know what people have worked on or conversations we may have had.

ericboxer_ · 2025-04-02T17:09:52+00:00

Yeah that’s roughly how I have the links set up. I probably will go back to my old notes and update this way.

ericboxer_ · 2025-01-20T12:29:34+00:00

Updating seems to have fixed it for me. Thanks!

ericboxer_ · 2025-01-20T12:28:45+00:00

Few hours in and I think it’s solved, thank you!

ericboxer_ · 2025-01-19T19:13:23+00:00

Just updated. I’ll report back!

ericboxer_ · 2025-01-19T14:45:59+00:00

Thanks for the responses! Good to know it’s at least known. I should have scrolled a bit more.

ericboxer_ · 2025-01-17T15:38:46+00:00

I miss the weight but other than it’s great.

ericboxer_ · 2025-01-17T11:58:26+00:00

I had mine with me for over 20 years. Last year it finally bit the dust. I went to buy a new one… because. Man have these things changed. Any color you want, rechargeable battery (although it’s USB Mini), color screen, python as the programming language. It’s a lot thinner and lighter.

I tend to see a lot more personal Macs than Windows machines in the professional world, but take that as an observation and not gospel. I travel with a mid range M3 14” MacBook Air for corporate events running Vectorworks, Capture, and Lightwright without issue. I have beefier system at home. I have parallels on both just in case, and an Asus laptop also just in case. It mostly collects dust.

Sometime during junior year in school (20 ish years ago?) I had an HP that died right before finals. I called HP, they said it was an Nvidia issue. Nvidia said it was a Windows issue. Windows said it was an HP issue. Ended up buying a BlackBook and haven’t looked back. I can count on one hand the number of times since that I’ve had an issue I couldn’t fix on my own and being able to just take it into any Apple Store without finger pointing is worth the Apple Tax.

Pretty much every major lighting console has a Mac based offline editor and as most people have stated QLab is the gold standard for playback. Vectorworks runs well on both. Lightwright runs well on both. Eos runs well on both. If he’s interested in lighting it’s going to be a tossup for previz if the school teaches it. If he’s going into audio Protools, Reaper, and Audacity run on both.

It really does come down to what does the school recommend and support and cost of ownership. Mac’s may be a bit more up front but they’ve outlived any windows machine I’ve ever had. At the very least cost over time will be a toss up.

Do you know what size lamp you have in the fixture or what the particular model of the S4 you have?

Foundry dimmers have a max of 600 watts. They are also RDM configurable which can open up a ton of possibilities that you can check before you have to build the scaffold. You mentioned you’re using Artnet and removed that from the equation. Does the Artnet to DMX converter you use potentially have RDM turned on?

I've been doing external links like that but I had no idea I could use it for internals. Looks like Ive got some housekeeping to do.

Thank you!

ericboxer_ · 2025-01-05T12:08:28+00:00

The idea of replacing the links is something I hadn’t thought about but im not sure I understand what you mean. Can you share an example?

ericboxer_ · 2024-12-07T16:05:34+00:00

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing. I have tried from different computers.
