  1. I like desks with a fair few subs!! But mind you for smaller show I like having preset faders because they're easier and I like to do things visually. If I was controlling a 60 + generic rig I would go down the keypad option.

  2. Any church I have been in (not that I am in churches at all really apart from weddings/ funerals) has only had normal domestic light fittings. Moving lights- well I would think they are a bit inappropriate (want you going to do have the macs sweeping the congragtion during an upbeat version of give me oil in my lamp lol, or maybe a roatating gobo on the vicar!).

     

    Some church's i've been in have pritty impresive sound set ups (radio mics, large 25 channel desks, loads of sourcfe equipment etc.) but as I say have never seen anysort of lighting other than domestic stuff.

  3. I agree that you need to have different areas at different levels. The speaker needs to remain lit throughout so you may want that quite bright. When people go to pray you may want to lower the lighting of the whole church and when people sing again you would want brighter lighting.

  4. So these programs, any chance of sharing the wealth with fellow frogians.

     

    Sounds like a very good if not slightly complicated way to do what you want. We can tell your a lighting techie, on such a person would take the intiative to make a program on a pc to sort a problem.

     

    Maybe in a later update this sort of idea could be included into the desks software.

  5. Here we go this is why;

     

    When we were developing the FROG function originally, we did include the brightness parameters for the fixtures, but because brightness is mixed HTP rather than LTP, to be perfectly honest it looked crap, so we dropped it from the function

  6. Ok,

     

    This section has been empty for a while now so I thought I would start off the 1st Thread; "Funniest Venue or Event?"

     

    So what is the funniest venue or event you have ever worked on or in??

     

    I'll start us off;

     

    I was asked if I could help light a fair/ fate so I arrived thinking it was going to be a big event, ended up it was in someones back garden and about 30 people turned up to the fate. An afternoon best forgotten.

     

    Over to you;

  7. Ok, yes sorry I was having a bit of a blonde moment when I wrote the post. And of course, what was I thinking, speed would have no bearing!!

     

    OK- Now I am back on the same planet, I don't think there is anyway of doing this!

     

    Appologies for confusion,

  8. Flash?? Whats the differenece between flashing and turning on and off quickly?? Flashing is in effect strobing.

     

    You could program a chase where the lights were on on the 1st step and off on the 2nd step, and set the drive to bass (plus speed it up).

     

    Don't really get what you mean, am I right?

  9. Ok, here's another one from abroad:

    El carne de burro no estas transparente.

    clue:

    You're married, mostly happily, but now watching sunday sport.

    Your partner (m/f) crosses the line of sight.

    In that line, some highly important domestic tasks are elaborately distributed.

    It is your answer.

    A burro is a mule.

     

    Another one best left to its own language!!
