widowgobo Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 singers who sway around the mic. KEEP YOUR FRIKEN HEAD STILL! Why should the singer KEEP THEIR FRIKEN HEAD STILL just because you are incompetant at your job. Maybe the one thing that really bugs me is the person who said " keep your friken head still" This person should really not be doing what he's doing.....but he is look I know what your getting at, but she was not used to microphones and she moved from about 2cm to 30cm randomly through her song.by singers I meant one very bad one.

peternewman Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 The horrendously slowwwwwwwwwwwww addressing of Pixelline 1044 in Max 2, thanks to the board I'm now aware that moving to a different mode and back is a workaround, but how did that not get spotted in QA or R&D before they were released? I do however appreciate with a fixture its not such an easy thing to fix after its been released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalljoshua Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Cables that test out fine on a cable tester but then fail to work in use. Happened last week on the backstage relay mic, swapped out the cable and it worked. Tested duff one and it metered out fine, swapped back for sanity check and didn't work again. :D Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pritch Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Oooh, that one. I recall an instance where the only explanation we had for an issue was that the cable was afraid of heights - worked fine on the ground, but as soon as you got it into the grid, it was unhappy!

lightsource Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Ahem... Moderation: A friendly warning people - remember the bit in the T&Cs about treating other members with respect? Be nice! Apologies, for being a bit naughty, it was the the 'keep your freekin head still' that got me bugged, and that wasn't equipment related. Equipment hate at this moment is the Strand SL - Enough said!

widowgobo Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 one piece of equipment The equipment must be theatre-related but can be from any discipline. sorry, forgot the rule. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolley1466 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Not a specific piece of equipment but, mixers with built-in graphic eq's. What's the point in them? The tiniest tweak to a band changes the sound so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karl Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Gel frames on pretty much every lantern. Why can't they just be a flap, attached to the body of the lantern by a hinge with a clip at the top? That way people couldn't take them out and then lose them, they could fall out or be dropped and changing gels wouldn't need three hands. I know it's supposed to be one thing but while I'm at it why can't barndoors be simple flaps permanently attached to the front edges of the lantern. It solves the same issues as mentioned above for gel frames. If you don't want to use them just fold them right back against the side of the lantern, when you do want them they're there ready to be folded out.
