Director: let put an intermission in this one hour show. Me: *angry glare*

If it’s non-refundable, it’s not a deposit. It’s a fee.

Thank you, whoever came before me.

You know that one show that you did that you were so busy/had personal issues/sleep deprived/etc that you didn’t properly make all of the paperwork that you should have? That’s the one they’re going to want to remount.

Anyone have any suggestions on a decent moving head led for around $1100/per unit?

Anyone have a suggestion on a good cable tester?

I hung a whole system of R69 today. The crew didn’t make one joke. I’m disappointed.

Our etc express has completely stopped outputting DMX. Has anyone ever run into this problem?

I don’t know of an electrician that hasn’t had the day dream about gaining super powers for the sole purpose of hanging and focusing difficult lights and positions. And then extending that dream to see how much they could charge for their abilities.

Question: I know the sound guy is either lying or incompetent, but I’m not handling sound for this show. Should I speak up or just let it be not my problem? He’s established here. I’m new. Thoughts?

Hey @Drafty_App what file formats does your app export to? I found a post a year ago that said PDF and PNG. Have it added any others?

This was handed to me today... I guess it’s better than nothing?

I was called in to fix a ‘problem’. I explained the simple solution and I was then given the silent treatment by professionals.

I will NEVER buy a phone with out a headphone jack so long as there is one to be had.

@Figure53 can QLab levels be controlled with midi (or some other control method) faders?

I honestly got a note that says “when sitting closer to the speakers the sound was louder. How can we fix that?”

I don’t care what you did in PowerPoint, it does not qualify you to do projections. No I don’t want your ppt file. It is of no use to me.

I spent 45 minutes troubleshooting the external HD. I never plugged it in.

Does anyone know how to record a macro into a cue on an ETC Express?

Any VW experts out there want to help me figure out why my grid and lights are at the same Z but vastly different in height?
