I own 12 Mac 500s and the theater has the conventional lighting . The theater already has a ETC Insight 3, so I'm just trying to find a board to work well with my Mac's.
I own a ETC Smartfade ML, and so far it has worked great! But when other shows come in and want a larger cue stack then 199, I can't help out. But thats not the only problem I'm facing.
So here I am asking if any of you can direct me towards a lighting board, that wont make me go bankrupt, lol.
Specs I would like in the board are as follows (top = most needed)
I know some of you might say PC based, but I've seen some using PC stuff and I hate the idea of having to look at what I have to click on next, while watching the stage at the same time.
My budget is low as I don't have schools or theaters paying for my equipment. I'd say from $0 - $3000. But if you could also include any from $3000 - $5000,(edit.. $4k - $10K) incase some money falls into my lap!
