Summary: In this week’s episode, we dive into the Mailbag for the Free Q & A Tuesday! This is where I take questions from listeners and walk them through my thought process.<br> If you’re new here, I have a Quiz that will help me send you a customized Guide on getting started with Lighting: FREE Guide @ <a href="http://LearnStageLighting.com/quiz">LearnStageLighting.com/quiz</a>.<br> Mailbag (3:15)<br> Mike (3:21) Can I set up the new Onyx software to be controlled from my iPad? Some bars have no place for a console so I have to be portable. I can set the laptop backstage but need to be able to run it from a tablet because of limited space. If it can, How would I set this up?<br> There are a couple of options on how to do this. The Onyx Remote which is a Free iOS App. You can check out the video here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHDiJksDaLU">How to Use the Onyx Remote</a>.<br> You also have the Touch OSC which you can use with an App on Android or iOS App. Learn more here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rftip8vhK78">Using Touch OSC with Onyx</a><br> David (5:00) Can I use M-Touch with a Mac to control through <a href="https://lightkey.evyy.net/c/1254929/289299/4547">LightKey</a>? I have 6 Chauvet QSpot 260 with a color wheel. Is there any way I can warm the white on the color wheel?<br> Using the M-Touch and a Mac through LightKey will not work, unfortunately. But, LightKey can use <a href="https://www.learnstagelighting.com/use-midi-hardware-control-lighting-console/">Midi Controllers</a>.<br> For this Chauvet unit and since they are older you won’t be able to warm the white on these. Now, you can try to use and Gel (color filters) and tape it over the light to make it a little more orange.<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2D8oH8H">1/2 CTO 24×21″ Gel Filter Sheet</a><br> Rhea (9:15) I am an Architecture Lighting Designer from India and spend my time at work simultaneously learning about DMX through your forum and other videos on YouTube. I am an aspiring Light Street Artist, and DMX will really help me create temporary installations/ shows. I am not a DJ but would like to work with DJs and bands to provide lighting for their live shows as a hobby. Learning DMX has given me a whole new purpose to project myself as an artist, and I thank you for helping me. <br> I would also like to know what would serve my purpose better – a console or a software?<br> As a beginner what should be the complete set of equipment to purchase? <br> When starting out it definitely makes sense to get a Console. The software has a come a long way as well. Onyx is one of the best consoles I’ve seen. It’s a big investment for someone starting out but it can really meal all of your needs.<br> <a href="https://www.learnstagelighting.com/first-lighting-console/">How Do I Choose My First Console?</a><br> <a href="https://www.learnstagelighting.com/how-do-i-begin-with-onyx/">How Do I Begin with Onyx?</a><br> Nic (11:54) I’m looking at purchasing a new 15″ MacBook Pro to use in university for lighting design. Whilst I’ve listened to the podcast about which computer to use, I’ve tried using Windows and I much prefer the mac interface and would be happy to boot camp the mac to use such software if I needed to. I was wondering if you had any specific advice for software etc based on your experiences as a mac user that might help me? I am looking at using Vectorworks instead of AutoCAD due to the interface of AutoCAD being different on Mac to that of windows.<br> On the Console side, there are a lot of fewer options for Macs. If you are open to bootcamping will work. Vectorworks reigns supreme for Concert and Corporate Events. AutoCAD is a good program for design and architectural perspective.<br> For more information on what you can work with using a Mac be sure to check out this article, <a href="https://www.learnstagelighting."></a>
