Hey everybody,
I am new to this forum, and quite frankly, new to dmx lighting in general. I am taking up the spot at my high school and taking care of their lights. I have a good amount of experience with stage equipment, and own a fair amount as well. I never really ventured into led cans much, but it appears that it will be the best option for me, and the crew. I know what I want to purchase for myself when it comes to the lights, but am stuck when it comes to controlling them. Yesterday, I borrowed some lights from a friends that's in the buisness, and toyed around with the console. I don't want anything that bulky again. I would love to have everything that was on that console, but on my laptop, so nothing more than dimmers. I downloaded freestyler, showxpress, and some others, and was in over my head. What can I download to be able to operate around 5-10 channels (10-15 lights- some will be synced) and have different patters such as multi color strobe, slow smooth strobe, individual colors, etc. ALL on different dimmers?
Sorry for my lack of technical terms. I am sticking with the basics, just in case.
Thanks for the time,
Tim
