Have you heard about Midas PRO-X getting drunk? Console died after one of the people in public threw a beer on it. There is a video about it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5_mhj74pQw8.html Too bad the beer didn't hit the Chamsys, i don't like Chamsys so much ;-) Anyway, the sound was not muted, the DSP in Midas is actually on stage, and console is just control surface.

I remember one year at this stage, they had a serious technical issue. Everything went dark, and silent, and a few minutes later, we saw the screens come back to life with the Resolume program starting up, then the stage lights. Then, the mic came on and the act that had been playing (Odesza) cam on-mic and explained that they’d “lost power.” Is the stage powered by a generator, or is it power sockets somewhere in the stadium? What would cause a blackout completely isolated to the stage? This stadium is also in serious disrepair, so there could have been a fuse or breaker that cut power off for a second and shut all the equipment down. Also, That name “Resolume” brings back memories of the screens on stage that they could never get set up correctly one year. They had some kind of test screen with measurements and a color wheel of sorts, and they were trying to get the aspect ratio right. However, there was an issue where both side screens would zoom in/out at the same time and so one was never set correctly, From memory, it took a while to fix.

@jamesrbrindle 4 года назад

Curious.... i’ll start using defaults to fix profile errors - i’ve been fixing the fixture profiles and then exporting them to USB. I’ve had to build a substantial number of fixture profiles for some cheaper end gear that i’ve had to use.

I remember this stage, it was great, and the last Bumbershoot to happen as of today. The stadium kinda sucks but the music was good. I remember the sound system was d&b J and V series with A few Q series and B2 subwoofers, but had no idea about the lighting rig, other than it being impressive in my mind. Some big, and I mean big acts played here, the lumineers, Tyler the creator (was originally Lizzo but cancelled) and Rezz, many others as well. If I recall, this was the year where Jai wolf was booked into the too-small fisher green stage and caused overcrowding, and a fence was pushed over, canceling the show.

@christianjackson Год назад

Your memory is spot on! It was very interesting with the Lumineers bringing in their entire touring rig via solotech. And yes, that Jai Wolf rebooking onto this stage was a crazy occurrence. I was on stage teching the floor package while he was playing.

Not if you press the screen unlock keys by holding MA and the set key.

@@christianjackson does the screen lock itself after you shutdown the console ?

@Xzidental 3 года назад

quick question, when your using analog DMX lines, and want to try Art-Net, does MA switch between DMX and Art-Net automatically?

@christianjackson 3 года назад

Firstly, Dmx is a digital signal whether it’s being run as a serial data link in a 3 conductor cable or over Ethernet. No such thing as analog dmx. You can set MA up however you like. You can output dmx from the console, artnet, sacn, in any combination as long as you have parameters and are a part of a session. The session master is the only one that outputs Ethernet dmx protocols.

Dangerouss ground packages are lights on the stage, as opposed to lights in the truss which are “flown”

@giglight 3 года назад

@@danrachlin1966 whilst true most would refer a ground package as a part of an artist set. The house rig will have ground mounted fixtures for sure but what is referred to in this video and typically in the industry is a "set" of fixtures normally on risers or wheeled sections that are brought in (and taken away) for one specific act. A little like backing dancers, pyro and for example artists unique branding such as the killers K facade.
