Hey guys! First off im new to this forum so if this thread is in the wrong section please let me know and i'l move it!
Im the head tech at my high school and our dances are run by me/student dj. What i'd like to do is be able to do is have cues go off to specific parts of a song without the need of someone at a console hitting go when cues are wanted. I want to be able to program cues to go off to specific parts of a song, i.e. when the base drops a black out or something like that. My biggest problem at the moment is I've been wanting to still have control of the lights off of my computer or lighting board, meaning that the cues cant be fired off of the dj's computer.
What i have at my disposal is :
2 laptops, one running windows 7 and the other windows 8
a mac mini
Enttec open dmx-usb
Enttec DMX USB pro
Philips preset pallet II (lighting board)
I was thinking either running MIDI show control off of the dj's computer and into either mine or our lighting board but cant find a program to do so.
i'm open to try anything you guys recommend, only limitation is since im at a school we don't have a big budget. Any info is good info.
thanks guys!
