Our sound guys use a lot of driverack
dsp. The main
FOH guy uses a computer program to adjust the sound but I'm not sure exactly what it is.
With lighting, I have been using a pc based controller since about 1997.
I am in the process of setting up a
system for a retail store. It will have 4
Mac 250+ with all custom gobos. Control is LightJockey, and I will be using the Manager software to trigger different lights to start up at different times of day, run through their programs,
etc. I am also installing 2
dmx controlled cd players to trigger announcements and to
play music to go along with the announcements. Last year we just had some lighting in the store on a more random sequence, and people stood around outside to watch. It got so bad they had to get a permit for outdoor dining so we could
block off part of the sidewalk for a viewing area. Don't ask me how a jeweler got a permit for outdoor dining. Guess it pays to have a friend in the mayor's office. But I digress.
And BTW, can we stop with all the sound vs. lighting vs. performer crap. It's just stupid.
