    Is Compu Show free? It appears to be. I downloaded it and the manual. At the moment I am in another state caring for my parents but as soon as I get back home I can start fooling around with it. Much appreciated.

    Great point! The band I work with usually stays to their set-list for the first few songs of each set but since they take requests you never know what is coming up. I would love to be able to change things up on the fly more easily.

    I started working with a band a few years ago. as a roadie/light man. At the time we used about a dozen par cans and 2 aggressors run to a NSI light controller for back lights and 6 chauvet LEDSplash 200b wash lights for...well...washes. Those went to a Chauvet DMX 70 light controller. They...

    What's the inspiration behind your user name?

    I was starting a hotmail account, way back in '95 when hotmail was hot. Since it was going to be used for porn sites I didn't want to use my name so I looked around and saw my guitar, a Gibson 180 sonex deluxe. So a slight spelling change so as to not dishonor my Gibson and voila, a nickname was...
