If you’ve been listening to the show the past few weeks you most likely heard me opening up and asking my listeners for their thoughts on the future of the podcast.

One of my thoughts was offering Patreon or some other type of show sponsorship. As I think of the future of Learn Stage Lighting I want to keep this going for a very long time. While I’ve had Learn Stage Lighting Labs sponsor the show I realize that if I want to keep this growing I need to consider other options to help pay for the videos and the podcast.

I am still working on the details but according to a lot of the responses received I will being doing a patreon and also working with brands to sponsors podcast episodes. These sponsorships will be reviewed and approved before I bring them on and it will only be with brands and products that I trust.

Now that I have more of an idea of the direction I want to take things for June and July I am going to reduce to only 2 Podcast Episodes a month. Then, in August, we can kick off the episodes with the new framework in place.

With that, I just want to thank everyone who wrote in, thank you to those that continue to support Learn Stage Lighting, and this couldn’t be possible without you!

Main Segment (9:15)

Ivan (9:22): I’m a very experienced musician finally learning about lights! I think I have sorted what lights to buy for our stage setup, thanks to your videos. I would like to use my iPad and the DMXIS to control the lights via DMX. I am pretty sure I have a good understanding of this now too. What I would like to do is create scenes and then flick between them with some type of pedal. Can I do this somehow?

When it comes to lighting software that can run off of tablets there’s just not much out there. But when working with a PC there a lot more options available, so that’s normally the direction I will point people too.

Now, DMXIS will not run completely without a PC or Mac. You won’t be able to run DMXIS on an iPad but you can run it with a foot pedal. You can use an app called Touch OSC that will be able to run some of the basic commands.

If you’re determined to run your show with an iPad then there are a couple of options. One of the apps you can use is called Luminaire and there’s another one called Vibrio. As I mentioned earlier I’m just not a big fan of these but they are lighting apps you can run on your iPad.
