I agree with all.
I started my lighting career on a 36-channel double preset full manual board with a huge array of DIP switches for programming chases. (Guess which board).
However I love all the amazing ideas I can realise with the newer technology we now have, including moving lights and scenes, chases and more.
For a musical I will normally run on presets (I can program my red bank of faders as scene storage so I can just run across the faders scene/chase by scene/chase).
However for band things I like a good busk - although it can be hard with a limited amount of specials / no MLs in the permanent rig.
Last time I organised some FX for a band thing I ended up getting a pair of spot ops in.
