Hey guys. I am new to stage lighting so please excuse my lack of knowledge! I recently ordered 20 led par 64's from this company out of California called Omez Lighting. They were super cheap and the manual sucks! The first issue is that the manual says they are 7 channel lights but on the phone they tell me that they are 6 channel lights. Either way I have no idea what channel does what so I have no way of knowing how to make a fixture personality in MagicQ. I have only been playing with Magicq for a couple of days and it definitely seems pretty hard to use, however I have figured out how to patch lights I just cant find a preset personality that will work for these lights. Im pretty sure they are six channel lights and I'm also pretty sure that channel one is the main dimmer. Can anyone give me any advise on how to patch these CHEAP LIGHTS!
I have also been playing around with a program called freestyler which seems to be waaaay simpler. I had everything patched and working in a matter of minuets. What my ultimate goal is, is to be able to have static scenes that fade from scene to scene. This lighting system is going into a church and i want to be able to have one scene say all blue and when we go to the next song i would simply like it to fade to my next scene, say all red. My question is.... Can i fade between static scenes in freestyler? Im pretty sure i can do this in magicq but it just seems really hard to use.
Last question... does anyone know of any software that will work for what i'm wanting to do (fade between static scenes) that is free or really cheap besides magicQ?
Just so you know I am using the ENTTEC USB PRO as my DMX to USB interface. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I have to have this system up and running in the next week and I am getting SUPER stressed out!!! Thanks for taking the time to read all of this and i hope i am posting this to the correct spot. I am new here and just looking for some friendly advise. Thanks and God bless!!
