As someone who has owned an MA3 lite for over two years now I find your comments quite refreshing with regards to the software. MA and their distributors have a lot of work to do and need to listen to their wider community a lot better than they have in the past otherwise we will end up with a repeat of the Hog3. Please excuse me while I post my thesis on why I wish I had bought an MA2. While it is an incredible machine and the way forward in many different ways there are some key hardware and software changes that have disappointed me. Such as: The lack of second screen encoder The lack of screen arm USB (the one that is on the front panel to the far right will be the first thing to get damaged on most MA3s) The choice to reduce the executor buttons below the lower screen The choice to release a desk with Displayport outs (Locking connector good) but make them passive so no adapters easily work without special tricks forcing you to buy native displayport monitors. And especially the lack of snack draw or adapter draw at the front. I saw the desk range at Pro Light and Sound in 2018 (as you did) and I noticed most of these issues and still purchased the desk so thats on me to a certain degree. What I feel let down by is the direction development has gone with regards to the tone deaf responses to feature or bug requests. One thing that constantly annoys me in MA3 mode is the removal of the MA + 1,2,3 shortcut to change programming layers. Most suggestions I've made have been met with responses of "you'll learn to love it" and I totally disagree. That response is the reason why the ConsoleTraining channel has gone into nearly a two year hiatus. I have other projects that are more rewarding and right now I don't have the energy to deal with "Not Implemented" or "In a future version" I know Covid has caused us to lose two years of proper development time but I am very interested to look at the new Avolites offering. ALSO: Light Converse/L8 had the parameter free viz driver for MA2 before version 2.9 as well.
The Software side is something i really find hindering currently. There is no Double/HalfSpeed. So many other Keywords are missing as well. Shortcuts wich used to be there are gone. It feels like i'm more forced into a certain way of doing it. Wich allows for a greater depth of that feature, but it restricts my workflow. And so on. On the Hardware side there are all those issues you mentioned. The Front USB is something you could probably stick one of those miniature USB Sticks, wich have the size of a fingernail. At least there is the USB Slot next to the Keyboard. The X Keys are in a bit of a akward place as well. I get, why they are there, but i don't get why they had to have that function to need to go there. For all of the nice things they have done to the console hardware i can probably name a bad thing as well. We will have to see how that turns out.
I got the feeling that MA were already at the 'Hog 3 situation' stage. From the very start, if I'm honest. It happens. Avo had a similar situation when Titan was released, nothing was right, and they lost users at the time.
Hello I'm a lightning programmer/rigger and I just got an Grand MA2 command wing. I have been watching some videos by your team and it been amazing. ON THIS NOTE I WANT TO ASK DO YOU RENDER ONE ON ONE TRAINING? I WOULD LOVE TO APPLY. Online course is not sinking well with me, please reply. Regards AkiLight
Christian: "There will be absolutely zero tolerance for any..." Me: "Oh man are we about to get political?" Christian: "...cargo shorts slander" Me: ah.
I’m glad someone finally acknowledged that it’s uncertain that MA3 will be the leading console like MA2 was. While MA 2 is a great console It’s gonna take a decent amount of time to tell if MA3 will be just as successful.
Christian, great video as always. Just wanted to let you know that I’m very happy for you to be able to do what you truly love doing for a career. So many people, myself included, are doing what we need to do just to make a living. You have the ability to do both. Thanks for the video. Take care
I'm sure you will give those developers at MA Lighting good feedback. Thanks for the great video and enjoy the adventures ahead of you with that grandMA3 console.
Would just like to say thanks for the videos. They have helped me so much in wanted to become an LD and I have learnt so much from you as many others have aswell. Hopefully one day you post again. stay safe
It's really inspiring to hear you talk about learning MA2 for years with mainly just onPC. I've decided that, after roughly ten years of finding lighting design fascinating, I should give it a try myself and am currently trying to learn MA3 on almost zero budget with the onPC-version as well. Maybe it'll stay a hobby, maybe it'll become a side job - no idea what the future brings! But seeing that someone else who's already up in the game starting outside the same gives me hope.
this video reminds me of the Hog 2 to 3 transition, so much hope, and excitement at the possibilities... and yet in time and a bit of work on High Ends part the system is still being used...
18:24 love how you acknowledge your MA2 console like its a good friend, i do the same with my command wing, sometimes i get home, pat the wrist rests and say those exact words....lol, its hilarious you talking about not getting into lighting control early enough, at 38 years old and discovering how much i love this only 4 or 5 years ago, feels bad man, wish i woulda stumbled on all this 20+ years ago.
Ngl I had second hand shock when you said you bought the light, that's such a big investment but also, the opertunities and stuff you can now do will be worth it.
@@christianjackson can't imagine, I was shocked for a month after I bought my current zero 88 flx and that was only 2.4k which as far as consoles go is well, nothing.
Great starting point for me as I just purchsed my first laser a small 3 watt unit. I am looking forward to restarting my DJ career. Sad that the ma2 is now discontinued I love old gear and hate debugging new gear. You are very open minded and a trail blazer good luck and keep posting.
Looking forward to seeing the growth and development MA3 is going to have. Keeping fingers crossed the upcoming tour I'll be behind an MA3 so I can play around in 3 mode during downtime. Also, your TH-cam profile picture should be slapped right on that case.
We are in the process of renovating my building's lighting rig, the most intelligent lighting we have are Source 4 Revolutions, and I am asking for the MA3 with the MA2 software. I enjoy watching your vids as I have cut my teeth on ETC products with a small dappling of Whole Hog. Thanks for the honesty and I might get a chance to catch you at the Ascend this August. It's also my kids birthday, so they may want me there.
Very much looking forward to seeing your self appointed task of programming the same show on both MA2 and MA3 and comparing the current process and limitations.
It's going to be a TON of work. Main priority is getting the show done in MA2 first obviously, but most of my downtime on tour will be spent recreating it on 3 with the ultimate goal of running a low risk show on it before the run is over :)
Our Congratulations! We bought MA3 Light in 2020 to the Theatre and started work in mode 2 (so you can sale your MA2 already). But mode 3 was very undfriendfull and we were wait for stable version (now 1.6....). Now I get best sense of workflow and always can back in mode 2 do simple shows in familiar way. It's was very right way to use console in 2 modes as we haven't enough time to export our shows directly (you know IMWR problems). But possibility to work in two modes made this prosses more easier and comfortable (in case when we transfer all show from ETC to MA 2 it was a month of programming and creating something new))) So, All The BEst With Light Indeed
Nice use of the 360 degree camera in the loading the console into your car sequence. Interesting to hear your considered thoughts on why you bought the MA3. Hope you got a good deal on the console with getting on the ground floor on the MA3 development means that your subsidising it’s development when by your own admission it doesn’t do everything the MA2 does. Hope it all works out for you though.
That's how I learn best. Just the opportunity to sit at the desk an figure it out. Just waaaaay out of price range currently. Chamsys ended up being my go-to til I could get an opportunity to sit at an MA. But your videos have helped me ALOT with learning parts of MA2
hey man, i just wanted to know if you had any plans of uploading again? been 2 years now and you're one of my biggest inspirations in this industry apart from the guy that got me into all this last year and your channel was the first thing I was recommended along with the MA E learning lol. hope everything is going ok for you
Hi Christian, I'm really excited for you, I'm a 33 year old Italian ld, I don't go on tour, I work in a local service, we rarely deal with big big stages and often for convenience I work busking with Avolites. For all the reasons you obviously already know. Now I just bought myself a ma2 commang wing because I want to learn to work in good and well-planned shows. More or less 10 years ago the service where I work purchased one of the first ma2 ultra light (the serial number was less than 100) I had it in stock for several years but I was too young to use it, then it was sold.💔💔💔💔 It would be nice to do courses on how to structure a show, how to set up a job, in addition to specific console or software courses. Anyway, congratulations on your work. Maybe one day we will meet ;)
Your approach to run the same show on MA3 as well as MA2 is incredibly intriguing and interesting, very excited to see how that goes. Side note: When you talked about the spark you felt, I felt like you were explaining the same feeling I got the first time I was behind a lighting desk. You are a huge inspiration, keep up the great work, and I’m excited to watch and learn from the future to come.
Congratulations on your new and expensive toy, it will undoubtedly bring you good benefits both financially and professionally, I admire your reasoning ability, always thinking of improving your present with a vision of the future, thank you for sharing your achievements. I admire and greet you from Mexico. Mi ingles no es muy bueno, ojala se entinda jejeje. abrazo!
...till the last second I was still holding on to hopes that the shop guys had put a hog3 in that case.... 🤘🤪🤘 Badass how it made that heavenly chorus sound when you turned it on!
Good to see some people can actually afford it. I always wanted be the one behind the console, since I was 8 years old. In Poland those things cost more than a good car. Some people still use old MA1, others go for HOG4, some have Chamsys or AVO. MA2 is a luxurious console there, Chineese made MA2s are the thing as well ;-) I am now looking for a way to unlock parameters from MA2 in latest software version (the one with the 8k parameter bug is from 2014). With a bit of reverse engineering I could perhaps emulate command wing or trick the console to go into backup mode enabling 8k parameters. The problem is obviously lack of access to real hardware to do things like intercepting the network traffic between MA2 full size and MA2PC. No hope to get a real deal, not even Chineese one... I was twice "working" on HOG4 (they paid me only for unrigging the lights, but I was in fact doing the programming too). I am not sure if having own built sort of console would help me at all, but at least potential employer would see that I know the stuff. Without parameter export I could not even use UE4 as previz (i'm tired of MA 3D), so I have to stick with old MA2 version that does not allows me to work the encoders from my own built fader wing. I think it's time to grab some useless cash registers for buttons, then I could have some thing that would be at least a bit like a half proper fader wing. When the chip crysis is over maybe I will be able to built some DIY DMX lights to gain a bit of experience in hardware design. What I was able to do for now is the worst looking fader wing and some WS2812 RGB LEDs using sACN over WiFi (the jitter is hell, yeah). What is the reason behind those enormous MA3 onPC hardware requirements? 16GB RAM for a system exporting parameters through ARTnet or sACN? Is that because MA have implemented some anti debugging in the software to stop guys like me? With anti debug things always get inefficient and require more resources. I am not even trying to tamper with MA3 yet, but who knows ;-)
How would you recommend a new LD start out with little to no gear? (other than a DMXIS lol) Would you start with your old setup, such a an MA2 onPC command wing + Capture, or would you recommend starting somewhere else like Onyx?
i am a student working with a ION 3000 lighting board with the two fader extensions in a middle school auditorium and I think my biggest challenge has been programming intimidators. this general is so inspirational keep up the great work!
Hey man how are you doing? Loved this video it was great! I have a quick question, what would you recommend as a good 3d software for lighting? Thanks Brett
Hey Christian! How many watts does a LED moving head has to have in order to keep up with a 7R lamp? For example a 360w LED BSW hybrid can have the same or more output as a 7R beam?
Hi Christian and thanks you for all the sharing. What's your thoughts on ChamSys vs MA in terms on price, reliability and interface. Interface meaning how straightforward is running everything and how lost can you get in deep settings...
Hey Chris, a side question but as someone who is getting more into console work and design what laptop do you use and or which one(s) would you recommend?
a very sync lights to music . 10000000000000 % perfection . salute to your job well done sir. sir may ask about grandma 3 any brand of moving head and lights will fit in to grandma 3? ty
I NEED BACK IN!! I STARTED IN 91 WITH TRACK SPOTS AND INTELLABEMS AND LIGHTWAVE RESEARCH UNIVERSAL CONTROLERS!!!! SERIOUSLY I live to run lights and again
Hey Christian Jackson! Can I get any tips on how to become a LD or some sort of job that can get me using beams? I already have good experience with controlling beams but otherwise I don’t know how to get a Lighting job.
Hey Christian, i want to film my shows in the future and want to ask you, want lens or lens typ you can recommend. It will be probably a lens with a open f-stop and not too wide, but i have no experiences with filming sets.
hello, I find your video with superb content, not just on the hardware but on the artistic Lumiere creation. And I wanted to know if you had tested other console brands. like for example avolites with its AI media server and its synergy system? good to you

Now you need an MA1 to complete the set 😁🤔
Saw one yesterday. They are using it on the DJ stage at a festival in Spain called Starlite
I learned on the MA1 this year lol
Finally, watching keenly
Hey Christian! How many watts does a LED moving head has to have in order to keep up with a 7R lamp? For example a 360w LED BSW hybrid can have the same or more output as a 7R beam?
Would love to get your thoughts on the console after having it a year and the software upgrades.
Hi Christian and thanks you for all the sharing. What's your thoughts on ChamSys vs MA in terms on price, reliability and interface. Interface meaning how straightforward is running everything and how lost can you get in deep settings...
When is the MA1 light coming? Gotta complete the set.
Are you working on the new Euphoria Tour and will there be vlogs? :)

Hey Christian Jackson! Can I get any tips on how to become a LD or some sort of job that can get me using beams? I already have good experience with controlling beams but otherwise I don’t know how to get a Lighting job.
Back in March 2020 we bought an MA3 Lite. Looks cool I guess.
So cool!
Hey Christian, i want to film my shows in the future and want to ask you, want lens or lens typ you can recommend. It will be probably a lens with a open f-stop and not too wide, but i have no experiences with filming sets.
hello, I find your video with superb content, not just on the hardware but on the artistic Lumiere creation. And I wanted to know if you had tested other console brands. like for example avolites with its AI media server and its synergy system? good to you
I've totally put QR codes with a rickroll link on them on stuff my work has sent out! Lol
Greetings from Poland ❤🇵🇱
What happened to your videos?? Where you at?
Any chance to join your load in/load out team maybe hang at foh on your tour this upcoming august 31st?
Why the ma3 light and not the compact xt did i missed it or didn't you say it?
Hey, did you do the festival of the lion king show at Disney world? I think I talked to you after the show. 🙂
