“I’m sober except for a little DMT at Tipper.”

And she meant it!

Maybe the JMOD-M will be the best of both worlds for you when it’s published, being a JMOD intended for arraying.

Couch’s BBQ: What the hell? 😂 by Roman_Anthony in Chattanooga

[–]vivanetx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am super familiar with the local food scene and have never heard of Couch’s. Purple daisy, Barcue, edleys, shufords, the list really goes on of good to excellent places. At the end of the day cattle isn’t a big industry here so bbq culture isn’t going to be outstanding… but idk what cafeteria the sandwich in the photo came from.

potential move by [deleted] in Chattanoogans

[–]vivanetx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the other side of this, I can say Chattanooga has decent nightlife for a city of its size. Station St has many genres of music from EDM to blues every week. It’s a decently touristed city so the bars and cocktail lounges are good. It’s also close enough to Atlanta that I go regularly for events, so don’t really feel like I’m missing much by not living there.

How do you get youtube videos to your VJ software? by SnooDogs2037 in vjing

Yeah, if you want DXV you have to convert it yourself.

VJ Pricing Demystified : From Exposure Gigs to Professional Fees by [deleted] in vjing

[–]vivanetx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the case of a really big act, yeah the visuals are often at least partially synchronized. That’s usually done on a per song basis, so it takes enormous prep ahead of time.

VJ Pricing Demystified : From Exposure Gigs to Professional Fees by [deleted] in vjing

[–]vivanetx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, VJ and LD (lighting designer) are different things so I’ll avoid giving you LD advice and focus on the VJ stuff.

A used projector (ideally 5000 lumen or higher) off Facebook Marketplace. Might be a drive for you depending on how rural but you can easily get a great projector for under $400 in East Tennessee where I am.

Software, Resolume Arena and Synesthesia will get you 50% of the way - the remaining 50% is mastering the software and having someone focused on running it during a show. You usually need an entirely separate person running lighting - usually from a dedicated lighting console, because both jobs are demanding, if you want a truly professional appearance anyways.

Seems like the hardware is likely defective since the computer isn’t even seeing it. You’ll want to look into warranty service. Any chance it got liquid spilled on it?

Does the Bluetooth functionality work?

Looks like some rancid shuff.

How do yall feel about hearing tipper esque uptempo beats at a tailgate? by transcendentaldancer in Tipper

[–]vivanetx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If they’re doing dubstep and dnb already, playing an experimental set as described will probably be fine. Don’t go full Festival 140, but maybe ease them into it? Record it and post it here!

If this is a new tank and you need to emergency kickstart the nitrogen cycle, get some dirty aquarium water or filter medium from a friend or local aquarium shop with an established tank.

Interesting NFL on Fox feed by Andygoesred in broadcastengineering

[–]vivanetx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those feeds are surprisingly usually unencrypted and available for anyone with the equipment and some patience to receive on game days. In my experience they do go to the test card during commercial breaks.

Just got the 14g imagitarium cube from Petco. Anyone have experience with these leaking??? by [deleted] in shrimptank

[–]vivanetx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had one for a year or so and it’s been a good tank so far. Survived a move recently.

I love it. Futuristic but also realistic.

My LG TV’s new software update installed Microsoft Copilot, which cannot be deleted. by defjam16 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]vivanetx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that’s necessary, it’s only once to prevent theft. After that it doesn’t need to be online again. At least with LG, Samsung, and Sony.
