1: Bad soap dispensing technology at the Byre.
2: "Wacky" audience warning notice.
3: "Crazy" extra "buttons" on the Byre's sound desk.
4: Working prohibited in Aberdeen.
5: Those kids just
love coloured plastic!
6: Ladies and Gents, presenting another Worst Lighting Desk Evar (see
also and
also) - the Eurolight LC2412. See all those buttons and faders and stuff? They do nothing that is
at all useful, whilst at the same time trying to do
far too many things which themselves prevent all the buttons and faders and stuff from doing the basic functions that a lighting console should be able to perform! Useless!
It
may have two axis of faders but the bottom one
has to be presets, they can't just control individual channels; that means that only the top faders are assigned to channels - but in a venue with 18 circuits (that you can't repatch to something more convenient) 12 faders aren't enough! Sure, you can switch
pages of channels but that makes live operation
completely impossible! Lame, lame, lame, lame, lame!
A completely manual desk, something like a Level 12, would be so much more suitable. Lame. When the instruction manual's instructions (I'm not too proud to read the manual) didn't result in the most basic things happening proper like what they should have done, I didn't even bother attempting to program my 106 cues into it. Which wouldn't have worked anyway. 'Cos it could only, maybe, store 99 cues. Lame!
So, to sum up: it is an
appalling lighting console - the sort of thing that you'd find in a club that didn't know better / was too cheap to get something decent.
Not a theatre desk, by any means. It's also useful to point out that it's
made by a sound company. Tch! Noiseboys.
No idea at all.
