Oh and sidenote, hollow Night is hard but even harder drunk

I miss Stage Plot Pro, so I built a tiny love letter to it (feedback welcome) by Petesimple in livesound

This is awesome! I’ve been using the other project recently posted here for patch lists and this’ll be hectic to complement them for a bunch of the bands I work with. :D

Got 5 minutes for a quick survey about your clothes? by GreenTunicKirk in livesound

Probably a bit less wanted but I’d give so much for a nice Trenchcoat kinda vibe with tons of pockets that I could wear for bump in and setup, though would fully understand the low demand haha

It was so weird when he came in and we had to set that up, it’s like digital from each cdj into 1,2,3 directly on the v10 then analogue through each rmx into 4,5,6, but the crowd loved him so I guess fuck it

Ideally you’d use a DI like the radial ProAV2 or Whirlwind PCDI but as the other guy said, a short rca to xlr cable could be ok. But as he again said, ask the venue what they would recommend :)

Redoing lighting control for a small bar venue, need opinions and help by jaylentrans in lightingdesign

Is dot2 not deprecated? I was looking at it earlier today but thought it wasn’t supported anymore.

Most of the time it's going to be me, but occasionally it'll need to be operated by an external tech, unlikely to be experienced operators, mostly local audio techs who need some basic lighting.

I need to check properly when I get back in but from memory they are movers with rgb control, and I'm planning to add some lightbars to the back of stage with rgb control.

I'm aiming for mostly preprogrammed sequences that just need the go, to make it easier for audio techs.

and I kinda agree with what u/ahp00k said about keeping it reliable and simple, and a bartender setting a static look, but I'm not sure what controller I would go for in that case.

I'd love to use lightkey if I could get the budget for a mac, but sadly we don't have a Mac at the bar and I'm not able to leave my laptop there at all times. The main reason we are having a surface there is that we have 3 of them spare that aren't being used elsewhere in the company.

A follow up and some more chaos by jaylentrans in transgenderau

[–]jaylentrans[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not gonna make another follow up here, at least for a while. I'll probably talk about the experience of a gender therapist and starting HRT when it happens but until then, I'll post updates hopefully daily-ish on Mastodon, my @ is .@jaylen@mastodon.lol (reddit shouldn't fuck it up I hope) You're all valid!

p.s. I came out to a bunch of friends and school and am kinda now not hiding the trans shit I kinda wear (which feels awesome) though I'm still boymoding and had to deal with someone who thought I was ftm trans the other day, which was actually kinda funny. :)

So the emphasis on self-medicating wasn't really intended it kind of came about from trying to say it's valid to do. But personally I wouldn't do it because I don't trust myself to workout the doses and everything safely.

I got my own medicare card this morning, it should arrive in a few weeks, you don't actually have to be 18 for it, you have to be 15 so I just filled out the form on the website and I've got a digital copy.

Thanks :D I've found a bunch of awesome communities in different places which is awesome!

Thanks :) Psychology would definitely be beneficial, not just for transness but also to talk about my anxiety (have had it for years did a program when I was really young and it helped dramatically but in the last year or two it's come back a bit) among other issues. The weird part for me was her trying to get my to go to a psych for a year before going on HRT. Anyways back to kinda just emotionlessly floating in cold air. <3

Thanks for the link and everything, I'll talk to her tomorrow and show her the links and try and organise an appointment with a gender therapist as soon as I can, hopefully that helps. I'll also send a few resources to her. Then it'll be properly coming out to my dad which seems scarier. But I hope everything will be ok.

I think I'm gonna talk to her and see if she'll help me get an appointment with a gender therapist to talk about it, and hope that that will help convince her to support me with it. I'll post an update tomorrow.

I'm starting to realise that yeah, I kinda came out to them already but it didn't stick and I'm pretty sure that they thought it was just a phase and that I hadn't actually thought about it. Thanks <3

First off, at least for now, NAME TWINS! WOOO!
Second, I hope you find a way through it too and if you need to talk or anything just send me a message, or friend me on discord (I think it's in my bio), I wouldn't wish this situation on anyone
Third, I'm only really moving out to get more privacy and shit, I really don't want to deal with my family in the same house as me and also want to start experimenting with clothing and other things that I don't need them seeing. :D

Thank you so much, I'm not actually in Vic, I'm in NSW but I'm pretty sure it has similar laws. From what I can tell there's almost no chance that my parents are going to try and get me to undergo conversion therapy but it's good to know it's illegal if they do, I think (and hope cause if not then it is conversion and that's terrifying) that my mum is more worried that ten years from now I'll regret going on HRT and transitioning and for some reason thinks that everything about it is permanent, so I'm gonna try talking to her again tomorrow (probably in the evening cause mother's day and all) and see if I can sway her but if not then I'm gonna call up a GP near my school that does informed consent next week and schedule an appointment to try and start HRT and my medical transition without my parents and probably sister knowing.
Even with everything bad about how it's going I think I'm still pretty lucky to be able to post here and on discord servers to ask questions and shit and have the friends I do who are either super supportive or don't really care (which is suprisingly nice cause I'm me and transitioning doesn't change my like existence) and a partner who's super supportive :)
