I never thought of doing multi-shows each with different music themes. I just had one show that repeated with the music theme changing in the course of the show. I feel a change coming on. Thanks paralegalnc..My son is setting here reading this and said "Dad does this mean we are not going swimming now?" he knows LOL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paralegalnc Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 well thanks! I always figure...go big or go home! I am pretty smart when it comes to music...it's my second life. or maybe third but anyway... I play instruments, I read music and I sing so it's not too bad. But I am doing the different shows because I am using my light show as a fundraiser... I want people to come to a 7 pm show and donate... or have a reason to come back..(different show) and maybe donate... give them ample enough reason and time... right?? again...that's the theory...that's the plan.

Redbirdruss Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Welcome to the Madness!I started very simply with a 16 channel controller and white incans that I had been using on my house the previous year. I just assigned different features as a channel such as the roofline, windows, bushes and walkway. Through trial and error I found that some songs were easier to sequence than others. Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney is a great song to learn sequencing as it has a very regular beat. I ended up with 5-6 songs for my first year. Alot of my time was consumed by setting up a FM transmitter, making signs, figuring out the best ways to run cables, testing lights etc.Year 2 was when I really jumped in headfirst. I added 3 additional colors to each of my elements and 4 x 4 color Mini trees. Thats when things started getting complicated! My advice is don't over do it the first year because you are on a steep learning curve and need to understand the complexity. Year 2 will be much easier to expand and during your first year you will start getting ideas for year 2 right away.Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
