Papa6058 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Newbie here, first year. I got 3 controllers (48 channels) and standard level licence. My question is: at what point is the advanced a benefit? Or is it now. What are you guys doing with Advanced that you could not with standard. The name standard does not do justice for the fact it is 2nd best level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
columbus27 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I have advanced so I can use unlimited controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james campbell Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I am using standard as well,here is a comparision of the software side by side http://www.lightorama.com/ShowtimeSoftwareSuite.html I know in the future I will need advanced and really should have got it ,but hard to convince the wifey to get something I did not really need.I will say that the step up from basic or even basic plus is a big step.I really enjoy the startup and shutdown sequences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Advanced also unlocks all the features of the software such as the Beat Wizard, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Fischer Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Basically if you're serious about your display, get advanced. It's a one-time cost... Then you don't have to worry about adding anything, including DMX devices and generic pixels. Plus the Beat Wizard is a huge time saver when sequencing.

TJ Hvasta Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Additionally, pretty sure you cant add Instant Sequencer to less than Advanced Level. Add in your props (mini/mega trees, arches, lawn lights, etc), and it makes instant sequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I tend to run into those issues at the most inopportune time and don't have the patience to "wait until 10am Monday". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
