Hiya Bobcat. I went on a spiritual journey searching for the meaning of life with some old guy on a mountain top in the Himalayas... that's my story and I'm sticking to it because it couldn't be I just got lazy and didn't get on the forums for a while. This whole Sushi thing frustrated the...

I do have actual DMX cords. I don't have a terminator because I understand that is only needed on longer runs. I have a 15' DMX cord to from the Sushi to the Gigbar and another 1' to the Par.

I have a Chauvet Gigbar2 with an ADJ Dotz Par attached to the stand. I use it with a Sushi DS and use ESA2 on a laptop to control them. I don't know much about DMX but was able to muddle my way through setting it up until it worked fairly well. Simple and effective. Then suddenly on one of...

It's a GIGBAR, not a ColorBar. It's got 2 pars, 2 derbys, 4 strobes, and a RG laser.

From what I can see it looks like ShowXpress is a more powerful software than most of the others. The lack of support is highly frustrating. This is my quandary. I know that ShowXpress can layer (I think that is the correct term) different scenes over each other to easily make much more...

I'll check it out right now. Thanks. OK. Just checked it out. For $39 I'm willing to give it a try. If it doesn't work I'm not out much.

I would love to use ShowXpress since I already have the Xpress 512 but like I said, the tutorial is outdated and difficult to follow and the user manual is a joke. I can tell it is a pretty good platform. I just wish it was supported as well.

I use only one light when I do weddings. The Chauvet Gigbar IRC. The big drawback with that light is there is no real good sound active program for slow songs. I want to use DMX to fix that. Because I am NOT getting into DMX hard and heavy I need a program that will do what I need but not be...

I use Ots as well but only use 1.85. I purchased 1.9 but went back to 1.85. 1.85 will work on Windows 10 but you need to uninstall it, install an older version of Windows, install Ots then install Windows 10 again. That is what I did and it is working fine. I agree with your assessment about...

I actually like country music. I just don't listen to it as much as I should because I've too busy listening to the pop and hip-hop stations in my area trying to keep abreast to what the kids are listening to these days. I have a fair amount of clients that request some country music during...

Fair enough. If what you do works for you, awesome. What I do works for me. Fantastic. We are different and we both succeed. It's a win for both of us.

I would like to see a thread about what you do to clinch the deal. Do you throw in something like a photo book, etc. Good post.

FYI, the 7 page wedding worksheet is not as daunting as it sounds. Much of it is suggestions and cautions, etc. to help them in their planning and to educate them on things that will make my life a lot easier like 'putting no tables between the speakers and the dance floor so the ear drums of...

I respectfully disagree. Many many times I have had clients (brides and mothers mostly) express a fair amount of bewilderment about what they should do next, what works, what doesn't, etc. Many of the items I bring up in my 7 page wedding worksheet and my quote they had not considered before...

You make some very good points. Thank you.
