This guys is an awesome teacher

I'm a user of Chauvet - I started with a basic unit with preset colours, then went to the Obey 40 and now i'm using an Obey 70. Generally I find them easy to work with. Using the bank facility i set up four banks and select one for each set so that you get a bit of variety. I liked your very quick run through on the computer based software - it looks great. Perhaps you need to do a more indepth look at these so that i can change my mind...

Check out my tutorials on DMXis on this channel for a more in depth look. They also have a free demo version you can download :)

Do you think you could do a comparison of Onyx and MagicQ?

I’ve started working with a friend to try and improve his light show but he bought a bunch of “Chinese” lights. Can you make a video on how to create a new light in odsidian. He does has a bunch of these lights but they are another name which isn’t in the list. Now I know what to select for this one but I need to create the others.

Here's how to find matches of different names in Onyx: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rH-Xzsp6Ybq6l6Q.html If you do need a fixture, I recommend requesting it through their support site - they are quite fast! ( And their fixture editor isn't very easy to use)

There is a fixture library editor in the menu, where you can make your own fixture profile for any and all of your chinese fixtures

id say get ma2 onpc or something and plug it into a usb to dmx for controlling lights. yes it is a professional console that does take time to learn but its worth it

Hey man! what do u think of Daslight Light Rider? i bought one recently enticed by the simplicity, but couldnt create a profile for a moving head i was using properly, Would love to see how you would use the Daslight Light Rider. Also do u know if the Light Rider DMX USB interface would work with Entec DMXIS?

Not a fan of daslight or lightrider. A lot of daslight users have issues with the software over time and it's just not my favorite to program . Lightrider is overly simplistic and is difficult to do more complex lighting with. Not a huge fan either way. For Dmxis , you need the official box as it contains your license key for the software

can dmx fixtures and moving heads be added to the same controller? I have two fixtures and two moving heads, how would daisy chain work?

@LearnStageLighting

Yes, and it doesn't change anything. Daisy-chain them in any order :)

Have you noticed stuttering on the tilt axis when it moves slowly? I got 6 units today and all of them do the same. It has to do with the tilt fine channel. If I disable that channel, the movement becomes stepped, but at least it doesn't wiggle when moving.

Not on mine. It sounds like the tilt fine channel is upside down, which would cause this

@@LearnStageLighting I have checked that and it is not inverted. However, I noticed that the movement the light makes when using the whole range of the tilt fine control, is wider than one single notch of the normal tilt control. This is why the tilt stutters during slow movements. I will have to use the simple control mode with no fine adjustments.

Whats your opinion on using ETC eos Nomad outside of theatrical work. Would you say its easier or worse than something like onyx?

@LearnStageLighting

3 жыл бұрын

Nomad is a good console. I don't personally have a lot of experience on it. When I talk to people that do, they definitely only recommend it for theatre or theatrical-like setups (i.e. more conservative church services, etc), and agree that a platform like ONYX is better suited for most other types of lighting (and it can do theatre well, too!)

i have nothing you showed. i only have the moving light. can I click some buttons and make it move fast and fast lighting? i have pressed some buttons but feels like they all are the same default option. tilts slowly and changes light very rarely.

How did you use the computer to go through DMX?

How do I program the light to just keep looking left and right?

I'm using this light in xlights but I can't get the color to work I'm using 9 channel can you help me

How do you plugged in your moving light to the computer?

Hi I need help with my light. Would you be able to assist me please?

I only have one question. How did you connect the fixture to the computer

If you own Ableton live, on windows machines i've found the cheapest solution: lixada usb to dmx dongle with this programs: 1) loopbe (free virtual midi device software) 2) MidiMonster (free multiprotocol converter) 3) Artnet to Dmx (free dmx artnet converter) Artnet to dmx permits you to command fixtures using artnet protocol With MidiMonster you can translate midi messages to artnet output messages With loopbe you can send midi messages from ableton to midimonster. Scenario will be: Ableton > Loopbe > MidiMonster > Artnet to Dmx > Lixada usb dongle > Fixtures. Latency seems good and once you configure the tools it gives you a world of possibilities

How do you set the Channel to 17

looks LIKE YOU DO REALLY CARE !! Teaching is a SKILL You have it or you DON`T LOL. YOU DO HAVE IT AND I hope your Spongers take a Good care of you :)

Thanks! Even better than Sponsors (I don't charge to review lights, I just ask the gear be sent to me), my students are the ones that make this possible - more info here: lp.learnstagelighting.com/learn-stage-lighting-labs/

How do you feel about MyDMX?

@LearnStageLighting

3 жыл бұрын

I'm really not a big fan. Especially as show files get larger, MyDMX is prone to bugginess and some real corruption issues that can really mess up shows.

I'm having problems with startec single spot programming. I'd pay to have someone do mine. Omaha,Ne

Doing it the computer way is a lot of work. Don't have time to be typing and working a mouse wile trying to mix.My opinion

It really depends on your needs and how much programming you're going to be doing. But, if you're looking at DMXis and it looks too slow for you, then it's probably not the right fit of console for you :)

You come straight into this video hating all the hardware and all for the software which is ridiculously expensive.... Should have done pros and cons of each

Title of the video is pretty misleading. It should be "go spend 700+ on software based DMX controllers because I hate everything else on the market." Because for now until I make the jump to pc based software, I have a basic light controller. Obey 70 to be exact. Which was why I clicked the link to your video now that I have some moving head lights. I've learned nothing here today. Thanks. 👍🏻
