Members slapthefunkyfour Posted November 7, 2009 Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 Yeah. We decided not to play it. I didn't find out until I'd loaded up all my gear (bass & drums) into the truck and drove 25 miles to the club. That's $20 worth of fuel. What really makes me upset is that I cancelled another show with my funk band in order to do this one. Skinny Puppy has an outrageous amount of gear, so there was no room for us on the stage. They still wanted us to play, and we would have been happy to play on the floor, but there was only 5 channels left on the mixer. We have 3 guitars, 1 bass, drums, backtrack, and 3 vocals. There is no way in hell we could do a show with only 5 tracks. The good thing is that we still can go to the show for free, and the tour manager is letting each of us bring somebody with us. The bad thing is that I hate large crowds. I can't stand being in a over-crowded bar and having to yell to carry on a conversation with somebody. So, I'm gonna go home and get drunk and work on my light show. If anyone here has used Freestyler DMX 512, I'd appreciate tips you might have.

Members absintheXIII Posted November 7, 2009 Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 That's kind of a bummer. Glad you are venting in a creative manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slapthefunkyfour Posted November 7, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 Oghr was very cool. The tour manager was very nice to us, and everyone in the the bands was really cool. There is just no way that we could do even a half-assed show with only 5 channels. I better start typing in pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You women make it seem like I love working with lights. I really do, but this time, I have to have 6 hours of pre-programmed sequences before 9:00 tomorrow morning. Not exactly fun this time around.

Members slapthefunkyfour Posted November 7, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 Evan Williams FTW! I'm gonna go take shot #5. It's not even 8:00 here. Maybe I'll get drunk enough to make a new video tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrs. bleepo Posted November 7, 2009 Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 i've only played with theater lights. they were kinda fun as a "teach the youngins skills" type dealie, we got to run all the technical stuff for godspell as done by other youngins (teens) i loved programing all the lighting scenes. the sound was less fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
