TOURING FOH SETUP WALKTHROUGH - LIGHTING/VIDEO/TIMECODE

Insight into my touring setup for everything from Festivals, Clubs & even programming/time-coding.
This is the system I've used since November 2021 through to November 2023 & has made my work flow easy for 1 person (Myself) to run, no matter the size of show.
Hope you find this video insightful to the possibilities of a 1 man touring operation. Let me know your thoughts and if you also have any ideas the could help me make my touring setup better.
Thankyou to AJS Sound Lighting & Visual for the support in the making of this Video.
Enjoy

Please dont stop making videos! My dream job is to be in your position and tutorials like this are super helpfull to understand everything in a practical way.

[@CamWhiteLights]

Glad you’re finding my videos helpful. Just keep working hard and enjoy what you’re passionate about. 🙏

[@eddyspx6186]

Thank you so much for presentation! Even people dont want share anything about it.. Thank you so much for your support! This style videos always opening people mind and you really did it well!! God bless you mate!

[@CamWhiteLights]

Thankyou mate 🙏🙏

[@thomasmould3710]

Ha, about the 10 minute mark I was like this all feels very familiar... Then you said Dutchy and it all made sense! it's definitely clean!

[@CamWhiteLights]

😂. Had to give dutchy the credit. Made my life way easier using the DMX>Artnet.

[@DustinLohr-xe5jj]

Such a great video! Could you explain how your song macros are setup? How they prep timecode, your sequence, etc?

[@CamWhiteLights]

I’ll look at doing a video on this when I get back home. Thank you for your message

[@manmachinemusic]

Great demonstration mate! Thank you for this.💻

[@CamWhiteLights]

Thankyou 🙏😊

I see you got Dave on your arm ❤ Good man

[@CamWhiteLights]

I sure do, dave is the Man 👌🏼

[@vvgolf1630]

Love ur videos. Is there any time to show us how u build a tc track ? And maybe in more detail how the transition in tc between to tracks are working ? Thx :)

[@CamWhiteLights]

Process of building a TC track is definitely on the list of video’s to be done. Glad you enjoyed the content 🙏

[@DJGarrettEbs]

Sick to understand how the timecode works. With Deadmau5 talking about how everything is pre programmed, it is to a point, but its all being triggered. Currently learning MA3 and have been trying to understand how some of the network stuff is triggered. thanks for the video!

[@CamWhiteLights]

Agreed, I think you can only prepare so much. We’ve never run a pre recorded set & never will. Hard enough to keep to the 90+ song set list we have Time coded so far. I need to start working on MA3 too, big jump but I’ll do it some day 😂

[@DJGarrettEbs]

I will be screwed if we have to go backwards to ma2. Couple venues have them built in so not looking forward to that. haha @@CamWhiteLights

[@odugbesanadeniyiisrael6442]

​​@@CamWhiteLights please i need training

[@CamWhiteLights]

What do you need help with?

[@odugbesanadeniyiisrael6442]

​​@@CamWhiteLights i need help in my mixing and designing please 🙏 can I get ur email or any chatting contact so that we can chat better please

[@imark7777777]

Cool. I don't know if that DMX Artnet adapter supports POE but you could replace that switch with a POE switch and that would be one less power cord if it does. It's really a nice way around to isolate your control network from the venue Nettwerk.

[@CamWhiteLights]

This Enttech box isn’t the Poe version. I considered changing but I decided to continue with it. “If it’s not broken, don’t fix” 😂😂 definitely is a great way to have a private network and avoid house/festival networks

Hey Cam, great video! Are you open to sharing what your section in your artists Rider looks like?

Hey, Thankyou. The link below is our full touring rider. www.dropbox.com/sh/9yn9yha76nhqpxd/AADV82I7eiSN7H8lQcRiNsBia?dl=0

Hello, very good video, I have a question, is there a way not to use pioneer that is cheaper, greetings

[@CamWhiteLights]

You can use Reaper. It is a cheap option kzbin.info/www/bejne/eau9oWWKmc2niJIsi=uEHfgjSkPDW-YmKy

[@scipioklausen3128]

Great video! How do you know when to swich the timecode source? For example when the DJ is doing a transition where 2 songs are playing at the same time for a while how do you decide where to take the timecode from? Or do you do busking while the transitions?

[@CamWhiteLights]

Thankyou. I might do a more in depth Timecode switching video. But it is fairly simple. Showcontrol allows 2 layers, I have one playing and other is standby with the next song. I switch when suits the song. Timecode tracks just take over each other using LTP priority. Sorry if that doesn’t make complete sense. Video coming soon 😂🥳

[@Rhys_Official]

This is really interesting. I'm an LD myself on MA3 (mode 2), all the shows I do are busking only. So its quite interesting to see how timecoded shows are generally done. Do you prefer timecode over busking or? You got my subscription anyway. Keep up the good work. Maybe some day we'll come across each other.

[@CamWhiteLights]

I began only doing busking, but since I’ve been touring I can’t be busking while running Lighting, Video, Cameras & SFX. I do busk occasionally with brand new tracks we are testing, but only a few tracks in the show. Thankyou for the Sub, hope to catch you around someday 🙏😊

[@fullupfinish12]

@@CamWhiteLights I appreciate the humility and willingness to share! Thanks so much for your videos!

[@FUXProductions]

Great Video once again How long did it take you to make all those TC Tracks/Shows

[@CamWhiteLights]

Thankyou. So far been making them for 2 years whenever a song is added. Before I knew it we have basically 90-100 tc tracks

[@FUXProductions]

@@CamWhiteLights not bad Would take forever to do a complete show rather then one song by another

[@DylanMonteiro1]

Are there any resources you could personally recommend on how to start learning all this hardware? Did you use courses or like learn from a mentor or anything? Is it even possible to learn without owning the hardware yourself?

[@CamWhiteLights]

Honestly most of my learning was done on MA2PC (Free download), also watching lots of Christian Jackson’s & other MA Lighting videos. Not courses or study, just trial and error. Mostly everyone I know learnt without the hardware, costs a lot of $$ to buy. Hope this reply helped.

[@HMAN-1278]

question, did you buy your own console, and if you did how long did it take you to save up to buy one. as i want to freelance but I dont know how to get the home to buy a console

[@CamWhiteLights]

Hey, I haven’t bought my own console. I use MA2 onPC +Wysiwyg to program. Only have consoles if I hire or I’m at shows that provide. You definitely don’t need one to learn or tour. I find it’s best to become competent with minimal hardware.

[@clownhands]

Bro get a lavalier microphone

[@CamWhiteLights]

Definitely next purchase on the list. 😂

[@__________HolySpirit__________]

lad just use bluetooth from ur phone n click a playlist whats the difference

[@CamWhiteLights]

MA doesn’t have Bluetooth. If you’re referring to the music, Just don’t listen to it. Appreciate the opinion either way 😊

[@__________HolySpirit__________]

was a joke lad give ur head a wobble

[@CamWhiteLights]

Not a worry, I appreciate the views and comments.

[@wilcandou]

Awesome... but it's all gobbledygook ta me. 🎉

If you have any questions let me know. 🙂
