bullets Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I was curious if anyone is doing this or if you haven’t, do you think there would be a problem.I just got a new desktop with an OS of Windows 7. I want to do the show design on this computer then copy the files to my Windows XP computer and use this to run the show. I know that sometimes things can get quirky between the two operating systems and I was hoping that someone could provide some feedback.I have always wanted to dedicate a computer just for my light show and I figured this would be the perfect time.I am using LOR S3 Advanced with SuperStar 24_CCRThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texascop Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 As long as the LOR version matches, it won't make any difference. I was designing on a Win 7 64-bit PC and running the show on an XP 32-bit PC last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 You will also want to have the directory structure the same on both computers. Otherwise when you go to play the sequence, the media file will not be found. It's an easy fix (Edit -> Media File) but if you forget the sequence won't play on the other computer.By keeping the directory structure the same, you avoid having to do that every single time.

-klb- Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I've never managed (or bothered) to get my directory path the same. But I sequence against .wav files, and only keep the .mp3 version on the show PC. So I have to repoint the media file anyway. Probably more to do with trying not to kill the antique HDD in the show PC more than anything else in my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapajez Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Since I bounce between 2-3 computers to sequence, and play the show on a 4th, I'm experimenting using cloud storage. (Keeping local backups to be safe.)Basically I just install Dropbox on each system, create a Light-o-Rama folder in Dropbox, and then point Light o Rama to this cloud folder. Anything I update on any computer, is kept in sync on the other 3--Media, Sequences, Channels. It's been working fine to date.Again, just make sure you backup a local copy every once in a while. In case you do something dumb on on one PC, and it gets synced to the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrymac Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I have used the combination you mentioned (Design on Widows 7, show on XP). Never had a single issue . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
