Guest Don Gillespie Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Thought I would see how every one is doing, I need a break I am 4 min and 2 seconds into my 17 1/2 min medley, my eyes hurt, have been sequencing since the 5th of Feb, but it is going to look awsome, certainly have discovered that 112 channels will not be enough will be adding another 112 this summer, and for the smart a$$e$ out there when I say from the 5th of Feb I mean about 30 min a night however this is the start of the long weekend so I have been going strong since 8 am, the screen is starting to look fuzzy, how is everyone else doing??

George Simmons Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi Don,Welcome back. I've been doing pretty much the same as you guys - upgrading songs from last year with new elements for this year, and trying to add a few new songs, in between doing the same things for clients. Good thing I enjoy sequencing...Anyone remember an obscure little tune by McCartney from somewhere on the back side of Band on The Run titled "Let Me Roll It"? (It's probably one of those filler songs that you listened to and didn't particularly like at the time.) I try to spend a half hour every other night trolling Napster for new music and I stumbled across this one again a few nights ago. I remembered it as soon as I heard it and almost moved on. But somewhere between thinking that and actually clicking the button on the mouse I began to see it in my mind. Well, I know what that means, so I wound up downloading it. It's gonna be a perfect followup to a hot number like something from TSO.Happy sequencing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isimpleman Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 gotta love it ive been hard at the channel adding myself. just sos i can get started on the new songs. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvin Stoddard Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I have been sequencing for about 3 weeks. I am going from 64 channels last year to 160 in 2011, it is all I can afford. I would like to add more but between buying more lights and more controllers it is all I can do this year, unless I win the lottery. I do have 5 songs done so far and like George I like sequencing. I am retired so I have lots of time but no money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Don Gillespie Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Thanks George its good to be back, along with the new medly for this year I also have to revamp 40 sequences that I normally use, so it is going to be a busy year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimswinder Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Just got back from a 9 day Mexican cruise...Had three days that we were just at sea...The whole time I was wishing I had my laptop so I could have been sequencing by the pool...

But in summer you should have 224 channels. You better make a new banner. lolAnyhow I feel as though I am lagging along as far as sequencing goes. I should have started in January but I actually waited until about Feb. 4th.I am just doing the timing marks now and well fill in the blanks later on once my mind is made up on what new item(s) I want to make. I have a few ideas kicking around but I have not reached a decision as of yet.My spiral/regular mega tree stays as do my 2 32 channel fans, but I may make a festivalof mini trees this year or a festival of mini arches. So for now the timing marks are being done.I am doing the Partridge Family song "Get Happy".........timing marks are done.I am also doing the Club Nouveau version of the song "Lean On Me"....Timing marks are close to being done.Right now I am working on "I want To Be A Boy Scout".......I still have a ways to go because there are so many words, and back up words. and what not. Fester will have a number of things to look at in the timing marks. I will make sure I leave him a note stating what ideas I have for certain timing mark effects.Then there are those songs that I received permission to use in my display from a few major record company's and the independent record company's and the singer/song writers themselves. Some 1st time stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
