    PC Software VS. Lighting Controller

    Surface pro is just for the brain. I have a 22inch touchscreen (same as road hog) as the main screen and an keyboard that will all fit into the pelican. I could have used an all in one for the computer but it would not be an all solid state architecture and I would have to use a separate UPS...

    PC Software VS. Lighting Controller

Where they tend to come up short is availability of spare parts and matching from fixture to fixture. I also would not recommend using them in a temporary...

    Purchasing my own desk

    Thanks for your responses! My main reason for wanting to buy is to make myself more efficient. I do mostly freelance work for theaters, churches, and some corporate. I'd like to get into touring at some point. My plan is to buy an all in one PC to run the software so I just have to put the desk...

    Purchasing my own desk

    Hi all, I'm looking at purchasing my own desk for me to use for my freelance gigs. I'm looking at either the MA command wing, Nano hog wing, or martin m2pc, plus the respective usb to dmx adapter to use as a backup. I'm wondering how much, if any I could expect to charge based on the fact I have...
