[QUOTE="Steve Tarak, post: 40732, member: 109"] Re: Onward, upward. Great info here. I'm leaning towards computer based control at this point. The Compulive has my attention. For the price, it would serve me well on the local level. The Vista was very nice, as are some of Martins offerings. Seems best to determine what type of lights and effects I'd like to achieve first, then choose the control type, make the purchase and begin to work with the software (pretty sure one universe would cover what I'm beginning to envision). Then consider how to design, for a top local act, a very modular, scaleable system with quick setup and a mix of static and movers. Want deep color washes on the stage, highlights on six members, some laser effects, and a well planned mix of mood and "dazzle" using cost effective and efficient fixtures. These are small to mid scale shows, some with limited staging logistics. One of the first ideas is utilizing quick setup, movable textilene screening panels, and color washing them along with a few special effects thrown on them as the night progresses. Washing them w/ something that will produce intense, deep colors, RGBA, something of design similar to a colorbar.. I'd love LED panels also, but realize I have a kings appetite on a knights budget. Appreciate any and all input on fixtures, ideas used that have been quck and effective, and would definately accept and appreciate a love offering and any spare change you find in the couch to finance the monster that has risen. thanks again, Steve [/QUOTE]
