I run the lights for our band so it's a hobby for me also. I have to do this while playing bass throughout the show.I also use Capture Polar Solo and it has been a lifesaver and has allowed me to program up our show without having to find somewhere to setup all my truss and lights.

OK, I finally got this working...What the manual and videos don't tell you is that you have to have 2 items in the Output Hardware list:Your USB or USB/Ethernet Interface as well as Artnet.My problem was self induced because I didn't look close enough at the hardware list and had put the...

I am trying to get Artnet working with my Nicolaudie Sunlite Suite 2 FC Controller.According to all of the docs, I can output to 4 Artnet Universes.I have real the manual and followed all of the instructions for turning this on and setting it up but get the following error every time...

Thanks for everyone's thoughts.I set my rig up last night with a sidearm on each side sticking out to the front and hung a couple of Blizzard FAB5's at a little less than head height, pointing at our singer. Just washed him with white.The results were perfect and lit him up very well..

Well, I'm not looking for people to tell me what I WANT to hear... lol...I appreciate the comments and yes, I completely understand what you are both saying.I'll have to look at what is practical for a country band playing small clubs... in the larger clubs, this isn't a problem because the...

I recently put together a lighting rig for my band and need some suggestions on how to best light my lead singer on a budget.I have 4 Blizzard Fab5's that are lighting us from the front corners of the stage. It takes care of the 2 singers on those sides but my lead singer (who wears a rather...
