So my question is should I move to onyx software using the same Akai controller and Artnet box, or stay on my current setup? What benefit can I get if I move to ONYX solution? Can you also provide some tricks (alternative gear placing)? The software are we using is Sunlite suite 2 with Akai MPC 20 controller. We set up our light equipment in different venues, most of it is 6 clones of Robe Pointe, 8 RGBW led pars (18×15 watt) and 2 led COB Blinders. Yuri (10:10) I have a small gear rental company (some light, sound equipment, and truss) I would suggest checking out Learn Stage Lighting Labs to help you get started with setting up.

But Intensity controls would be more ideal for your Faders. So the question you need to ask when you’re getting ready to set up is “Do you really need a Fader Control for this option?”Ĭolors may be better for the button control. It’s hard to provide a basic description on what you should record for your 10 Faders. What are the 10 sliders are the most important to record on the M-Touch sliders? I do recommend checking out DMXIS again with the ShowBuddy Demo as well watching this video to get you started with ENTTEC DMXIS Training.Īsaf (6:20) I work with M-Touch. With DMXIS you can create your own fixtures at and add the fixtures there to your DMXIS. Unfortunately, I do not know how long it will take for them to respond. You have to get a Fixture Light Library Request to try to add to the Library. ShowXpress mostly works well with Chauvet brand fixtures a few other models.

If you’re working with cheaply made fixtures they may not work with ShowXpress.

For the issues with Chauvet, I am not sure why the 3D View won’t open so you may want to contact them directly. When working with ShowXpress it tends to be glitchy which is why I do recommend DMXIS. An icon would show up in the bottom bar but wouldn’t open. After adding the color strip Mimi’s (3) color strip mini FX (2) to the show I couldn’t get the 3D view to open. How do you handle addressing lights that are not listed? I figure I might have the same issue with DMXIS.Ģ. Stage Ape Pars cans (3) and Flat panel UV (2) are not on the list to add to the page. The fixtures that are cheap Chinese stuff. What I did do was after talking with our sound guy, he uses ShowXpress, I downloaded the Chauvet ShowXpress since it was free to play with. You suggested ENTTEC DMXIS as the next step. I have 5 Chauvet color strips 3 led pars, 2 UV Flat panels. John (1:48) I’m in a band and am trying to upgrade from auto mode. If you’ve been listening to the show I would greatly appreciate if you could review and rate the Podcast: Mailbag! (1:45) In this week’s episode, we dive into the Mailbag for the Free Q & A Tuesday! This is where I take questions from listeners and walk them through my through my thought process.
