Starting to get the hang of it :)

Just a couple pics. Hope to have a few videos before long. This is the current setup with our 8 Chauvet SlimPAR 64's behind us and the 2 ADJ Mega24 Pro's uplighting the banners.

I'm using the upper rows for the PAR chases and the bottom rows for the static colors of the Mega24's
The MDP18 has 3 banks and I'm only using bank A for sets. Bank B I have static scenes (high/low intensity and different colors) to use during breaks. As I keep adding sequences and fixtures we'll eventually make it to Bank C LOL. The slider is master speed and it's made the whole rig SO much easier to operate live while I"m also singing and intermittently playing keyboard

And here's the "Command Center". I keep the laptop backstage and run Freestyler from the Akai MPD18 on the right side of my keyboard.

The little box on the left is a Tascam 4 track we record our shows on. On the floor is my harmonica case on the left and my Boss VE-20 vocal processor on the right.

Thanks Nathan! Everyone on here has been a HUGE help. It's funny to read my 1st post years ago where I didn't have a clue where to even start then fast forward a few years and in a matter of weeks I was creating fixtures and getting control of everything. The MIDI controller is a must have for a rig like this. I ran one show with the laptop beside me and I worried all night trying to hit the right keys and whether or not some drunk would jump the stage and break the whole thing LOL. Our next addition will be 8 more PAR's and some new Mushrooms and other effects which I will start jacking into the chain so I can turn them off between songs for a more dramatic effect. That laser we have is already DMX capable so we can start disabling it between songs and eventually we'll swap the Fog machines over to DMX. I really need to play with GoMonkey or the Cue Lists and start setting up scenes throughout songs
