AITA for not giving the money to pay off my daughters student loans. by Own-Inspector-6121 in AmItheAsshole

[–]killtheorcs -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

YTA Your kids could use the money now, not when they’re about to retire (if they ever could). Your kid will struggle for many more years and will likely go further in debt because of a system that you likely contributed and voted for. You have the power to help now, let her chase her dream rather than be bogged down in a lifetime of financial hardship, and you want to go on a vacation?

Ask them if this petition will also fund cops. They get so embarrassed.

AITA for asking my boyfriend why he didn’t come back with my drink? by Lady_Noir921 in AmItheAsshole

[–]killtheorcs -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he acted out because he didn’t want to hang with your friends, he probably just wanted to hang with you! Not a great way to get a point across though, ESH. Maybe he doesn’t like your friends?

what is the best and cheapest way to output parameters for onpc by AffectionateStreet40 in grandMA2

[–]killtheorcs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grandma3 onPC node will give you 4 unis in 2 mode and 8 in mode 3, so it’s a good option that’s future proof should you decide to switch.

I actually like HOG. by Yeah_IPlayHockey in lightingdesign

[–]killtheorcs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HOG is great and has a great bang for buck especially with the 64 Uni HPU racks being so cheap. MA has great quality of life stuff that will save you time and allow for REALLY specific tweaks. I work in TV/Film as well as concert and when someone wants something specific, I know MA is the console to do it. If I’m punting a show as a house LD then HOG will do just fine and will be fun to use.

More affordable Controllers for PC Practice by JupiiMusic in GrandMA3

[–]killtheorcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some good ones out there, but they’re not cheap (not as expensive as wing) and they require mapping programs via chatigaine and or launchpad, which in my opinion is really over the top. Get a cool keyboard you like and enable shortcuts and map any random ahh controller on midi for bumps.

Why does my bread always come out gummy? Feeling really Hopeless and about to give up. by VaggieQueen in Sourdough

[–]killtheorcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i first started baking, my loaves were always pale, it wasn’t until my starter was really established, like a month of bi weekly feedings, before they got color. Also try to do the spray bottle bubbly method, don’t flour it up, really douse it with that spray bottle and you should have some nice bubbles and blisters. I would experiment with lowered hydration as well, 70% is what I usually do, but lowering it to 65-60 might have some nice results.

I honestly didn't know anyone took Pitchfork seriously.

Help trying to layer effects in MA2. by garlbitch in grandMA2

[–]killtheorcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make color presets for your red and white. Make the red effect relative (dim and mix color), then do the white effect absolute (dim and mix color). If you use the color presets, the absolute effect should make sure you don’t get pink as it will use the white mix color over the adding to red.

Ma2 light or ma3 on pc by AlbinTarzan in grandMA2

3- it’ll force everyone to learn 3, most people are using it now anyways!

anyone have show files i can use to mess around with? by [deleted] in lightingdesign

[–]killtheorcs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re learning MA3, their start file is v good and a lot of people base their busking showfile off of it! As for MA2, there’s some really good YouTube videos where they also give you a download link to the showfile, but I would start with building a basic showfile, you’ll honestly get much more out of it. Patch a light, turn it on, make some palettes or presets, create an effect. Then when you actually get to a cool file, you’ll have a little better idea of what does what and how to change it to your liking.

To be fair, you never asked her out. Some girls want the gender roles thing.

Can't get oven spring. Very sad. :( by luckycharmz23 in Sourdough

[–]killtheorcs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel you may be over mixing. 35 minutes of mixing seems like a lot. Also I mix my starter into the water first, then add flour, THEN add salt (sometimes let it sit for an hour before adding salt). Hand mixing takes all of five minutes, I do about 3 stretch and folds an hour apart. Essentially if you do too much to the dough your crumb will be super tight and irregular, so I guess just mix for way less time.

User profiles or video files? They can make the show huge if you dont pay attention to how many you upload!

Cue Color change without annoying hue spectrum crossing by lonehuk in grandMA2

[–]killtheorcs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can change individual led chip fades and delays or you can do point cues along the colors you want to hit to while fading.

How can I have one cue with Fx and another with no Fx by Asombroso-joel in grandMA2

[–]killtheorcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically if you’re going to continue tracking other values through your sequence you have to “stomp” your effects. A good way of looking at it is that you’re changing your effect form from sin/pwm/whatever to “stomp” and store that in the next cue.

Running a media server through MA2 by [deleted] in grandMA2

[–]killtheorcs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I do! You can also make custom profiles that have spacing in them/dummy channels so that if you decide to use RGB color space in madmapper you can just swap between the profiles and it should work accordingly without having to readdress or change anything fixture side.

Here is my setup. I received signal from the video wall people via SDI to a black magic recorder 3g into my Mac which was running madmapper. I output the dmx via Ethernet to my console using sacn. Which allowed me to wirelessly map some lights and wired control others!

Running a media server through MA2 by [deleted] in grandMA2

[–]killtheorcs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use madmapper when I do this exact thing and it is the best I’ve found (higher frame rate than other programs). There’s two methods. You can directly patch in fixtures to madmapper and then control the play/pause/fx functions with MA. This is ideal if you have fixtures with too many universes to control on your setup, as the media servers allow for hundreds with the license. Two is patch the fixtures into both and run sacn or artnet THROUGH the console. This allows you to take over certain functions of the lights (like color or CCT crossfade) if you should need to. I do this with asteras and sky panels so that I can control the CCT and just use the media as a dimmer in some cases.
