travis p Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 it does not take a whole lot of computer to run lor just make sure it contains at least windows xp it will have to have at least 1 usb port and a sound out port headphone jack will work if your planing on runing shows with it but just rember to plan a head no use in going with a base computer now just may have to go bigger later just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 For 16 channels, you probably won't need much more than the Canadien PC equivalent of a hamster running on a treadmill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james campbell Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 keep in mind you should have a good computer for sequencing,you will need good graphics and decent ram because the visualizer takes a bit of resources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstorms Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 There are really two different functions/modes that you use the lor software for and they have different needs.1. Development - in this mode you are creating sequences, and running the visualizer. For this having a beefy graphics card serves you well. In this mode I also capture video from the visualizer and edit down songs.2. Show - in this mode you are running scheduled shows with your radio connected. This machine can be very lightweight and requires few resources.You will have to go back and forth between these machines, so keep in mind:- install the same version of lor on both machines- have the data directory in the same place on both machines. C:light-o-Rama- keep a backup on a jumpdrive or nas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubado Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 jstorms put it best. I have an older decent main computer but my graphics card doesn't do well for the visualizer. I plan to upgrade that sometime soon. Dual monitor is also very helpful in sequencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis p Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 yes a dual monitor is the ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
