Hi!
First, I am very sorry to be starting so many threads lately. Anyway, my high school has a 2 scene preset board with 8 submasters on 4 pages.
I don't know the maker or model of the board(even though I've been in front of it so many times LOL) but I am pretty happy with it. We have no moving lights, just basic fixtures. I want to use gobos in my next production and I also wanted to see about some "GO button" that I have read about on here. My board, atleast I don't think, has this button. So I either have to use the submasters or scene 1 or 2 for each cue.
I also did search on here but could find stuff on a search for a new console but nothing on having no go button. If you have any advice on running without the go button, other than just manual switching, that would be really appreciated. The manual cues are just getting quite tough and having a go button would seem so much easier.
I want to see if we can either get a new board (there's a few issues with this one besides that its very old) and maybe get something that is more modern and one with a GO button so I wouldn't have to manually do each cue. I have read threads on here about new consoles, but do you guys have any ideas for a new console? I really wish my board had a go button, it would be much easier if I had that.
I am not sure what the budget is, because I don't even know if the school will purchase a new one. I would like to hear some options and then I will try to ask the school and talk to the superintendent who is very in to theater and has directed his own plays before.
Thanks for ALL the help, this seems like a great place. Sorry for starting another thread, though.
