Usually I’ll put the macros on a thumb drive and import in the macro pool from the drive directly

@@AaronHiebLighting ok. i don’t see an import button in my MA on PC (macros-macros. pool

I use this plugin to create “All” presets that I can store to a cue list if I’m adding new fixtures and cloning is too tedious or when I initially build my cue lists for timecode projects

For sure, thanks. They’re ayrton perseo’s.

Are you outputting artnet or sACN?

Sorry I just saw this. I’ll look into this

Sure, I'll add them to my website then link you!

Alright, they are up. In the download section of my website which is www.aaronhieb.com

Match IP ranges and join the consoles master session. Make sure invite is enabled.

Sure! I’ll do a video on that today if I find the time at work!

What fixture are you using?

Robe spikie/superspikie are the fixtures

​@@AaronHiebLighting appreciate it man.

Hey, any update on it?

Hmm, try this link. It may be down at the bottom of the page. . www.dropbox.com/home/Stage%20Sweep%20Plugins%20V1/stge%20swp/Stage%20Sweep%20Plugins%20V1

@@AaronHiebLighting the link doesnt work

Hi all, link has been replaced on my website. Sorry for the issues.

Of course! Appreciate it!

Go to the lua file, ctrl a, then ctrl c to copy all, then right click an empty plugin tab on your showfile to edit the plugin pool item, then ctrl v to paste it into the empty script. I hadn't released it with an xml to import yet because I am still updating a few things to clean up in the script.

I believe it should work similarly if you just used the foot switch to go each cue.

Lol yeah I always had trouble finding that damn fix key 😂

Glad I could help! Cloning with MA can be tricky but once you find a method you like, it’ll be like second nature! Good luck out there!!

Hey, sorry for the late response. I actually have been using a plunging called TimecodeMAte for this application. It’s phenomenal and I believe it’s free or quite cheap. Look up TimecodeMAte in the CZcams search and it should pop up!

Hmm, sorry for the late response. I’m actually not sure. I’ll have to experiment with this and I’ll try to get back to you!

​@@AaronHiebLighting Hi Aaron. Glad that you reply.

Thanks! I used a separate cue as a temp button to trigger the lamp bumps. Looking back I would probably use those cues in my sequence and create follow cues and “part 2” cues, but recording separate sequences in the same timecode tracking will work.

Sure, yeah that works. I like using the song macros because if the set changes, I don’t have to re-order my playback pages. Instead I can just press the macro and I have everything set up for my next song.

@@AaronHiebLighting makes no difference, r999 just releases whatever is held over active on another page. no need to re-order anything.

Sure, whatcha wanna know? Haha

I think I’m confused by your question, sorry.

@@AaronHiebLighting in chamsys magic q can using keyboard for control playback, so can i know tutorial for this setup. Thanks

@@lokmanjl9272 playback shortcuts. its in the manual. read it.

@@tnikiforov can you make tutorial video...hope can helping me:)

Not quite sure what you mean. There’s a lot of ways and it really comes down to the type of effect and how you wish to trigger it. Do you mean like timecode or having the music trigger effects or something?

@@AaronHiebLighting YES the music trigger effects

@@Orj-Tech yeah I mean you can definitely do audio input but I’ll be honest, it doesn’t really look good most of the time because your effect is dependent on a specific level hitting at a specific frequency so there’s a ton of room for error. I never use this feature because I’ve never seen good results from it so honestly, I don’t have much of an answer. My apologies.

I could look into it. I use MA2 to trigger other softwares like resolume arena by patching “dummy” dimmers in MA2 and use those dimmers to trigger resolume actions similarly to mapping midi, but instead of “edit midi” I hit “edit DMX” and it works the same way. Not sure if there is an option to do anything like that in Ableton, but maybe look into showcockpit as a way to use OSC to do something like that. That’s the first thing I can think of. I’ll let you know if I can find anything else.

You don’t need that specific interface. You can use onboard audio but you will still need to split the TC generator rack and the audio if you wish to have an audio track output from reaper. All you’d really need is a 1/8’ to XLR cable to just output the TC generator but to do both you’d need a splitter so you have a left and a right xlr if that makes sense. It’s a lot easier to do the routing with an audio interface but you can find them for pretty cheap. As far as the port on the back side of the console, it should just say LTC in. Make sure to only have the TC generator track sent down that line to minimize issues with timecode generation. Hope this helps!

@@AaronHiebLighting helps a lot 🤜🏾🤛 I am working with the dot 2 ma, I really appreciate you answer✌🏿 thanks buddy🇲🇽🇺🇲I will subscribe to your channel.

@@pinki6666 much appreciated! Hope everything works out well!

So I use a separate timecode pool for each song and I’ll have my timeline built beforehand. When timing changes (ie. The band switches track 4 and track 5 in the set) I will just edit the offset in the specific timecode pool. I will make a “mark” cue at the beginning of each song which is my cue 0.5 on this video. That cue is just setting all the positions, colors, gobos, etc to whatever the first cue in the song uses to ensure a clean fade.

Of course!!! I’m glad I can help. I really enjoy it and hope I can help a lot of people with them

Appreciate it! MA3 is definitely creeping into the norm but I don’t see MA2 becoming obsolete for a while!

Nah, have messed with 3 a good amount on a full size 3, it’s a LONG ways off before I’ll actually use it…

@@MisterMotion I’ve been playing with onpc and I don’t hate it, but it’s got some quirks and the hardware is definitely… different haha. I am excited to learn it tho!

Of course! Yeah, I’ve kind of updated a few things with the macro lately as well to make it work better with my file. I will likely upload a video on that here soon!

@@AaronHiebLighting earns a sub from me!!

I’m sorry, I don’t think I’m following the question

It’s most useful application is usually syncing lighting/video cues with music seamlessly at concerts/events, but there’s a really wide range of applications within lighting that timecode could be a really useful solution for!

@@AaronHiebLighting aah I figured that much . Cool

Thank you! Much appreciated

@@AaronHiebLighting What is Time coding good for ?
