What DMX light control software are you using? EOS is turning out to be far too much for volunteers to learn, so looking for something simpler.

Do any of you know the specific bushing sizes or where I can get a bushing kit that will fit an old old nisstec mk84 3-in lift kit? Before you ask, I already tried Z1 off-road and they just offered to sell me a new kit.

Managers, how many biomedical FTE's work at your site, and what are your training and tool budgets? Same question for the imaging side. I'm curious if there is a common amount for those items.

I love how companies adjust their terms on the fly and aren't bound to the original contracts until renewal.

SI Impact froze when connecting to it with Mixing Station (during a church service). Have you guys had this issue and what did you do to stop it from happening again?
We have had it freeze up a few times over the years, but only during practice. Today was the 1st time it has happened and disrupted the production. System is fully updated (did it about a month ago).

Any ideas on a good fix for this? 10 year old Frigidaire gallery refrigerator with failing drawer/shelf mount. I don't know if there are any coils in the center divider or not, or else I would just make an angle plate to screw in. It holds a meat/cheese drawer (heavy) plus whatever junk on top..

A large glass of milk with 1 packet of pink sweetner and a bit of apple pie spice tastes very much like cinnamon toast crunch, but without the carbs. Do with that what you will. (Mods we need a food/drink flair)

Looking for projector upgrade recommendations. Info in text.
Our church has a few older projectors that need to be replaced in the next year or two, and I would like to start getting an idea of the budget we would need to plan for. The current projectors are Dukane model (8925/26/27/56 not sure which specific one since the manual covers them all), and the bulbs were replaced about a year ago. The throw distance is probably in the ballpark of about 20'-25' for the current mounts.
​
We struggle with having enough contrast (or maybe not enough brightness?) to manage the complex backgrounds that the staff want to use. We also use this for events, funerals, church related lock-ins, meetings, other community programs, etc.. , so these are used around 10-15 hours per week on average and need to be able to operate in full light. We can generally find the funds for good equipment (within reason), so the focus is more on quality than price. I was told that these were installed around 10 years ago.
​
The lower colored lights are behind the screens, and we have the spots focused elsewhere so that we aren't washing out the screen.
​
What do you recommend we look into?

2011 S - Turn signal issues - my left and right turn signals have recently started sporadically only flashing once or twice and then not continuing. I replaced the relay but I'm still having issues. Is the BCM my next replacement or is there something else to check?
If the BCM is my next step to replace to get this back to working normally, I've seen some sites say that some programming may be required. I have an hp tuners MPI V4 tuner. Will that do the trick?

SI Impact mixer - Apps (Visi Remote and Mixing Station) app fader layout not following mixer layout changes. What am I missing?
I updated my fader layout a month ago and have tried multiple things to get my fader layout changes on my mixer to carry over to my apps. I'm sure that the issue is on the mixer side because I tried a fresh mixing station install on a phone that had never had it installed, and the incorrect layout loaded. I'm thinking there's a setting or something I am missing on the mixer.
What I have tried:
Re-save mix file and reload
Reboot mixer
Delete cache/memory on both apps (multiple devices)
Remove and reinstall both apps completely (multiple devices)
What am I missing?

Kids damaged my wife's guitar (which has sentimental value) by hitting it with something hard. What are my options for fixing this? I have a shop and fix everything myself, but have never tried to fix a guitar and don't want to ruin it.
I'm afraid that if I start sanding it, that it might just be a thin veneer on top since it's not a very expensive guitar.

Emails and Microsoft license management, how are you doing it?
Background: I have been running the soundbooth for years at my church and while I have an technology related background, I have kept my head out of the IT space simply because I was hoping another member who specifically does IT work might fill the gap. It's become clear that isn't going to happen, so I'm picking up the bag and running with it. What I have found is a mixture of licensing tied to emails through GoDaddy (interesting place for a church to do business) and some purchased via other means.
Problem: I would like to be able to provide church domain email addresses at no/low cost for specific accounts that do not need o365, but GoDaddy doesn't offer that. I would also like to provide o365 or full office suites to those who need it, or specific computers which might have multiple users.
Our domain and email setup is through GoDaddy, website hosted by another entity (not sure who yet), and Livestream service by another entity as a tie-in to our website. We are currently paying around $550 per year for 6 users to have a church email and office access, and we have additional users who should have a church email but have not been set up with one due to cost.
What is the best way to manage this moving forward?

Kids in the soundbooth, and learning lessons.
Today we were in service and I went to make a small adjustment to the pulpit mic (senior day discussions). At that moment my son spun his seat in a circle and hit my elbow with the back of his chair (something I have told him not to do many times), which immediately added 15db to the mic. I got it corrected, and when half the congregation turned around to take a look I just pushed my son up against the desk so they could all see him too. He was terrified of all the immediate attention and is now backed away from the desk and not moving his chair an inch. Sometimes they just have to learn the "why" the hard way instead of trusting the source. I hope this lesson sticks.
