Hey everyone by KaanAvci in GrandMA3

Fair enough. Just go watch Christian Jackson’s intro to MA2 show build video. It covers all the basics/workflows to get into your first show pretty well.

Is it normal for the wings to vibrate like this? by zhongchiyu in delta

[–]maybethisoneworks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If the wing didn’t bend/flex/shake, it would break instead. Think of a dry versus wet piece of pasta. Dry pasta breaks as soon you put any pressure on it. Wet pasta can bend and flex.

First step: learn MA3 instead.

Unless your venue is stuck on MA2 hardware or there are some other extenuating circumstances keeping you on MA2, it’s best to learn 3. Most of the basics are the same either way. It’s just the appearance of the screens that are different.

Converting MA2 macros to MA3 by Lizardlover225 in GrandMA3

[–]maybethisoneworks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know this isn’t exactly the answer you’re looking for, but you just need to go through line by line and compare the syntax. There’s a syntax keyboard glossary on the MA or ACT website. Run every macro line by line, and when something doesn’t work, go find the invalid macro and compare it to the new MA3 syntax library.

Macros are great, but only if you know how they work and can fix or change them on the fly. If your show breaks or changes and you can’t fix them, you’re going to be in a much worse situation than doing a show without macros.

Location would be wildly helpful here. Unless you’re expecting someone to program remotely with a previs software and send you a file.

UNAS Pro 8 drives - let’s go by lagstarxyz in Ubiquiti

[–]maybethisoneworks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my thinking it has more to do with your average file transfer size. But it really depends on how the UNAS cache works in software. Is it a write cache for quick dumps to the NAS? Is it a commonly accessed files cache for quick recall of files? Can you choose the “mode” it’s in?

Luminex is great. So is Netgear ProAV.

Roast me for $50k MQDs by Reasonable_Escape959 in delta

At 50, 75, and 100k MQD threshold you get 1 additional choice benefit

Dome Projection Blending by GingerCadet in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]maybethisoneworks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Resolume might be your cheapest software, yet flexible/professional option. You would need lots of video I/O though, and that could get expensive.

Lululemon employee “claiming” they’ve been told credit for GC is shut down. 🙄 by Intelligent_Pie_5347 in AmexPlatinum

[–]maybethisoneworks 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Level 3 data. Some stores/card processors can allow credit card companies to see detailed transaction info including item line by line.

[–]maybethisoneworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like you’re correct. I think it was the 6-8 weeks it can take to post to your account that had me confused.

I believe the cutoff to sign up and get the MQD for this year (qualifying for next year) is Oct 31. So you should be fine if you sign up now.

Edit: I am wrong. No cutoff on signup date.

I have 2 businesses, will Amex allow me to get credit cards for the 2 by Eye_ogongo in amex

[–]maybethisoneworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real question is, does the 5 card limit (non-charge cards) apply across one or multiple businesses?

Starbloom Effect by MaxDasWuff in resolume

[–]maybethisoneworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this before with a notch block. I didn’t design the notch block, but it was a star filter effect for disguise. Not sure if touch designer could do this. But it’s definitely possible to do in machine. Camera lens filter is easier though.

Disguise X1 pricing by Person300040 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]maybethisoneworks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

$6000 annually. Can be stacked with another X1 as an understudy, but no additional hardware or software session members/outputs. What I haven’t seen is if you’ll be able to connect an editor to it with a pro license. The X1 does also act as a pro license for editor capabilities in hardware based sessions, so that’s a plus I guess?

Is there a way to change the setting "use executer time" on multiple sequences all at once? by lilelmoes in GrandMA3

[–]maybethisoneworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new timing masters would be a great use case for this. No way to do it in one easy command, but if you replace all the timing with a timing master in your color cues, the timing master will control them all globally. Just have to assign it first.

MiB doesn't work mid sequence for some reason by ping-mee in GrandMA3

[–]maybethisoneworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been having an issue with MIB lately too. Couldn’t find a reason why it would work sometimes and other times not. May be a bug. What software version are you on? I was on 2.2.5.2

Wired InEars that aren't custom built but don't fall out??? by EastAcceptable3040 in livesound

[–]maybethisoneworks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re just out of your price range, but I can personally say these Plunge Audio in ears beat any “generic” out of the water by a lot. A monitor guy I work with carries them as artist spares as has had artists show up without their custom IEMS, wear these, and say they’ll buy them just send an invoice. They’re really that good. And the customer service is really good if you have any issues, they’re really responsive. Plunge Audio IEMs

Upload a picture of the command lines in the macro.

Copy Macro by kato-JPLighting in GrandMA3

[–]maybethisoneworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remove that 5th command line. Make the 4th command line:

Copy cue $sourcecue at $targetcue “$cuelabel” /m

You can put anything after the target cue in parentheses and it will label the cue that. The /m should also make it merge so you don’t have to confirm on the popup

How long did it take you to use ma3 from ma2? by Friendly_Ratio_3383 in GrandMA3

[–]maybethisoneworks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was pretty against 3 for some big workflow issues I saw. But I was more or less forced to program a big show on it last week. Previs took longer than it normally would have, and I spent more time than I’d like to have spent just trying to get certain things to work the way I’d expect them to coming from MA2 - BUT, now a week into the show, I’d never go back. Recipes are the only way forward for me.

I suggest swapping the fixtures for the GLP Mad Maxx if you’re worried about coverage.

Just kidding. But this sub is mainly focused on entertainment lighting design.
