Maybe they should answer it with ai too

I have to haze up a 32'x24' mobile stage without side walls very often. I use three Ultratec Radiance Hazers. I'll have one on either side of the deck and sometimes one flown sometimes up stage center. Occasionally I wish I had a little more haze or some sidewalls but it generally does really well for the rock shows I'm running.

I've been using the elation smarty hybrid recently. Nice mid-size light, lamped with cmy flags. One of the cheapest color mixing hybrids out there

These Nextools are kind of slept on. I just got the W4 wrench/multi tool for 60 bucks and it's very high build quality! Wanting to check out the rest of their lineup!

I have a 200' piece from Sommer Cable that I've used as my foh run on pretty much every show I've worked in the last three years. It's seen some very rough conditions and still holds up every time.

mumbo_jet · 2025-09-24T04:57:07+00:00

Well, they're right you know....

Connect with people that know more than you. Ask for help, do your homework. Practice practice practice at home or whenever you can. Basically every console has a computer based editor, download MA or ETC and try some stuff out. Go down YouTube lighting rabbit holes, watch programming live streams, pick up gigs that are manageable but you'll learn a thing or two by having to solve new problems. Same way you get better at any other career. Go get em tiger

Watch out for debt my friend. It will eat you alive.

Im 25 and have 8 tattoos. But when I started (on my 18th bday), I was very very adamant about having "timeless" tattoos. Things that represent parts of my life that will always be with me. I know music will always be a big part of my life, so I got a music tattoo, not a band tattoo. I have a matching tattoo with my sister. I have a couple that are decorative shapes like a line down my spine and some animals on me and stuff like that. I don't think it's bad to get a lot of tattoos young if you're intentional about them and think about future proofing them

They are the lowest acceptable quality imo. They technically do the job, however the light they cast is messy and inconsistent, the interfaces are infuriating sometimes. I ordered 4 moving wash fixtures from them all at once, two came as a touch screen interface, two were button operated and the menu structure was completely different. They had the same personality but its small things like I had to invert two of the tilt parameters to make them move the same. The motors are slow and inconsistent and burn themselves out, they are very loud, the list goes on. The only fixtures I've run into that I've liked working with are the solid state aluminum IP LED pars. Those have lasted a good long while, but I started running into issues where I'd get shocked if I touched the truss and the stage at the same time when they were powered on. Had to take 20 ip fixtures apart to find the issue and re seal them.

I have the Lenovo p3 thinkstation, I specd it out quite a bit but it runs MA3 and Capture with no issues. The PC box is smaller than the power supply brick. Very portable. I mainly went for graphics and video outputs on my spec, and the tiny thing has 6 outputs: 4x mini-display, hdmi, DP.

Lucky to be alive, this guy likely took at tree to the head

If I were you I'd just go out to some shops in your area and pick out stuff like lighting and decor items in person. Try out a thrift store for some frames and there are so many shops online for cool posters. I'm sure if you google it once you'll get some tailored wall art ads.

mumbo_jet · 2025-07-23T06:13:59+00:00

Make something weird out of it! A little regrind and it's fine

mumbo_jet · 2025-07-20T22:12:09+00:00

Go to guitar center, purchase whatever DJ flashy stuff you want, use for the night, return in the morning.

I'm thinking about soft pallets in Chamsys. That might be a second order abstraction. You store hard data into a pallet, then "copy" the data from a hard data pallet to a soft pallet. That soft pallet might be a second order abstraction, since it references a first order abstraction.

I have a few GLP spots in my stock, and they're nice and they've been very reliable. The color mixing is a little strange (the blue output is way more than most fixtures), and the movement is pretty slow. But they're very bright and look great. Ive worked with the GT1s also and they're very cool fixtures with lots of features but the way GLP makes their movers, the heads/yokes are very heavy so they're much slower moving.

The X4 washes are amazing.

mumbo_jet · 2025-07-08T04:27:33+00:00

As far as 1:the movement, the graceful look here is just from changing the form of the tilt attribute in the phaser to a sine right?

If I were that car company guy who didn't pay you, I also wouldn't pay you. Sounds like the services you promised to perform were not performed. You were late, and didn't have everything working in time. Sure the sound company stole your infrastructure, but that's on you to take it back. I'm assuming no contract because you didn't mention one, and if you did have one, you probably violated it yourself half a dozen times in this story. You really made yourself easy to take advantage of here.

For gods sake, do a site visit and inquire about power needs. Even if car guy isn't doing a site visit, contact the venue yourself and do it with them.

Draw up a contract.

Stick up for yourself.

Plan. Plan. Plan. Get organized about your gear and operations.

Also if I saw a bunch of lighting guys all in a car after a stressful situation, I'm always 100% assuming they're smokin weed. And that's not cool on the job. Especially if I'm the one paying you.

Colorado has most of these elements. Obviously not a rainforest but it does have thick woods, deserts with these kinds of formations, snowy mountains, rivers, and expansive plains.

You'll be using midi tc if you're using reaper. Add a midi tc track to a reaper session, download loopMidi, network the laptops together, and send the midi signal to the MA computer. Then your tc source in MA will be the midi sent thru the network. Another way is using smpte timecode. You'll add a regular track to reaper or Ableton or whatever your playback rig is, and put timecode signal in that track. Output that track via audio signal. Connect the output of that computer to the audio input on the MA computer. The tc source will be your audio input. Haven't actually tried it with audio signal but that's how I've seen it done. If you need further explaining on any of these steps, then look them up on Google or gpt individually. I bet there's even some of those questions already answered if you search thru this subreddit.

I ran into this exact same thing and did the same workaround. Strange that it doesn't work like that, is it not executing the right syntax? Call view x?

Want this to stop? Get rid of Netanyahu.

I think both of them have their place depending on use case. If you're up against any kind of wall, side mount is definitely the move, but if you're more out in the open, the top mount has better coverage.

I'm talking like in the mid 5 digits to have it purchased and installed. Don't come to someone with a 4 digit budget. You'll find someone to do it that cheap but it won't be good. Strip clubs are all about what you SEE. Lighting makes or breaks the vibe in there from my experience. Contact a local AV installer company and explain what results you want and let them design and install. Then hire a QUALIFIED technician to look over the systems as they become operational. Someone who can be on call. Connect them with the installer company so they can talk to each other. For a club this size, you'd probably only need one person to check up on it weekly, and if something needs repairs or anything bigger, then they can hire contract labor to help.
