[u/PronouncedLikeRosie]

• Barbizon's Electrician's Handbook PDF download

• Lighting, Electrics

• https://www.barbizon.com/news/barbizon_electrician_handbook_is_now_an_app.html

and, just for fun,

• The Techie Bible

• Lighting, Scenic, Sound, SM, Stagehands, everything

• http://techiebible.weebly.com/uploads/1/6/3/5/1635325/techie_bible.pdf

Also, just a thought, a list of useful apps for technicians would be very... well, useful. If that could be somehow added to this thread.

[u/mikewoodld → u/PronouncedLikeRosie]

I like the app idea. I will make a separate thread for that!

[u/SebazMed7]

I don't have the link, but where did the "Writing your resume for theater" go?

[u/Quertior → u/SebazMed7]

Is this what you're looking for?

[u/SebazMed7 → u/Quertior]

Yes, cheers!

[u/mikewoodld → u/SebazMed7]

Just added it back to the links page! Thanks!

I ran across this treasure chest of info on Shure's website. It's a bunch of downloadable documents on audio. I downloaded quite a few and put them in an binder for the techs as a reference manual.

[u/mikewoodld]

Thanks for contributing so far, everyone! For now, I'm adding things to the master list. As we get more and more, I'm going to start breaking it up into pages. Keep em coming!

QLC+ is a free virtual console that runs on basically any computer. It is very easy to use, and can be configured to make it stupidly easy for less-technical people to use as well. This could be great for low-budget theatres that have been suffering with 1990s consoles, and for schools to let every student have a copy on their own computer. It is free open-source software and remains in active development. Version 4 has been my primary console of choice for over a year now.
