Lighting console vs PC and wings

[GreyWyvern]

I personally am not a fan of the smartfade, I find the cue stack annoying to use, and any type of recording to be difficult and/or not user-friendly(along the lines of the NSI MC 7024 that i started on)

however, it can be a workable solution, provided you have a computer that can run the smartsoft software and is readily available to use with the console.

That is kind of what I was saying by mentioning that I would not get one without having a computer available. Without the software, many things (patching, editing, etc.) are a PITA.

I have toured Australia the US and Canada, running a Jands Vista s3 with an M1 backup run by a mac book pro.

I have had no problems with this it has plenty of hardware and has been very stable for me.

I purchased this console so that on lower budget shows I can still have my own console.

I do however switch to MA on my larger budget shows as I also find this a great console and has far superior networking capabilities.
