Hello all
I'm with a 5 pc. band that plays classic rock. We have decided to upgrade our light show and need advice. Right now we are using:
2 stands with par 46 cans
a 10' truss that goes behind the drummer w/4 par 36 cans and a cheap lightbar w/4 lights all aimed at the drummer. and 2 dual gems at each end mounted sideways.
1 razz matazz that sits on top of one of the p.a. speakers
1 dyno fog II
The areas we set up in usually have about a 10' high ceiling, 15-20' wide stagefront with about a 7-15' depth. Not a whole lot of room but we manage to fit pretty easily because we all use line 6 pods going directly to the board. Right now our Bass player is running sound and lights/fog machine, but we are looking for a soundman to lessen his duties!
We have decided to spend about $1000-$1500 for upgrades with thoughts to our future and what we would not have to waste the money on something that will not be used in the future. Obviously we need a dmx controller, but not something that would be overkill..or underkill. We have also looked at LED lights to replace the par 46's or intelligent lighting,but don't really know anything about what to get...your help, opinions, suggestions, and expertice would be most welcome. Thanks!
