My biggest criticism of the Eos software is that it's never been a "busker friendly" desk, which is fine as it was always a theatre desk and it does that exceptionally well.

Recent updates have really upped the game though. Magic sheets are brilliant and the quick selects help hugely.

Having inhibitors set up like that is never something I though to do before for different fixtures. Which is odd, because i use them for other things, you'd think I'd have thought of that! I'll definitely be making use of them for this in future!

My one big wish (and something I've asked ETC for countless times) is a "tap tempo" to sync my chases with the music. The current implementation is really clunky and awkward. At the moment I use a fader set up to control the speed, but it's not as good as a dedicated tap tempo.

I would really like to see this video re-made with the Apex, or even still the Gio (since most people still don’t have the apex), and with Eos 3.1. Custom Direct Selects are key to busking now and I would like to see how other designers and programmers use them.

is this file available for download, id love to see the macros and effect syntax

I was legitimately just programming some stuff for busking last night. Useful information here!

I think the ending description was excellent. The way EOS works is so fundamentally different than most other desks and I believe that they have a unique opportunity especially after he described the save this macro. Typically I would never live busk a show in the programmer. I always use cues. But EOS has the unique advantage of the programmer being sticky and fairly LTP. In fact the etc surfaces don’t even have a clear function (which is not to say that the first thing I make sure I have is a shift-clear sneak 0 enter macro). At this point it might just be the ubiquitous ion hardware that is keeping people from busking on EOS. However I would still rather be on an MA.

Great video! I've been looking to revamp my busking setup for a while now, and this was very helpful.

When you busy with cues will the cues come first? Meaning if I go to cue 1 use a busk then go to cue 2, will cue 2 load as it should or will the busk that you added still be present?

Looks like what I use to do on the old artesian years back. When doing one off shows it's nice to have all of this . It has lots more options which I like having.

thank you so much for this tutor
God bless you

Add me to the list of people who think that it would not be Beyond The Pale for ETC to pay him to release that show file and and detailed write-up of the pieces and how they fit together and give it away to ETC's customers. Whether he can busk better than a 15 year old or not.

Great video I really appreciate seeing how people set themselves up but hot damn was that ever an atrocious choice in music

How did you set up the strobe rig button?

Is there an out-of-box show file and visualizer file (preferably Capture AND Aug3D) tha tis presetup, with a walk-through on the busking basics and comment ideas shown here? If not, this is the big miss of ETC IMHO. It's taken years to get EOS family consoles to do some simple effects that other consoles do really, really well (I won't start on the pixel mapping stories, as you know them..) This is by far one of the better videos and is relevant to any performance IMHO. If your serious about lighting you should be practicing with these types of assets, and not having to build everything from scratch and "harvest tribal knowledge" to up the bar. ETC needs to empower the community a bit more. The ETCVideoLibrary has been expanded exponentially int he past several years, and I'm grateful for that, but I think we can do better. Maybe a show file / visualizer community sharing built into the consoles. Thoughts?

I only use cue list for the mosth part

Etc consoles are very good at theaters, musicals etc. basking show i dont know, yeah ok it could use for basking but ETC can make better consoles for live performance i believe.
