had a small bar gig this weekend and forgot the power cord for my elation. ive been taking my laptop everywhere so i can work with mydmx offline... well, not that its a huge deal but i did have to figure out very quickly how to bring up 8 par 56 cans.. wasn.t too tuff. by the 3rd song i even had some stupid lil chase/schenes going which was a bit of a pain do to no tap sinc and multiple fade/hold times but wasnt even necessary. i was just happy to have the lights on! and since they are 500watt lamps, being able to control the intensity is a must must must.... or you pop breakers and melt musicians..(im not the one who loaded the trailer that day so i ended up with 56's instead of 38's)at any rate.. mydmx paid for itself rite then and there.
in "light" of all that, i am looking to buy the chauvet colorsplash 200b led and i cant seem to get the fixtures to turn on in the 3dviz. not that it matters because i can still view the colors on the channel and will proly buy them. anyone have anything to say about them?....good/bad. they will be for small venues. we got a crap ton of pars for the summer festival shows. but the winter is coming and we will be in doors. power and space are always an issue.
thank you adj and mydmx,
br@dley
