I'm computer challenged!

Sure I'm a newbie, but I think I'm putting on a decent show. First year with LOR, but I have 64 channels running 100,000 LED's. I've sequenced 4 songs and going to run a 15 minute show every half hour for four hours. My question is, how do I edit my profile to show the LOR user with 64 channels on the bottom?

 

Thanks in advance, everyone on here is awesome.

Of course everyone has their own opinions, but for me, I think it should be ran on a continuous loop for the entire night. Someone drives by and bam! They love what they see. Which is what you want from all your hard work. So they go and get their kids and show back up 1 minute after your show stopped. Sit there for 10 mins waiting and then say, "they must have blown a fuse - sorry kids be we gotta go...".

 

Not your posting topic, but just my $0.02.

I'm with Mega. I don't spend all year sequencing for the show to be dark 50% of the time. 

I also use Bob O's MIIP  to run the show.

Hey folks, lets drive by this house and hope the lights are on, not.   Less than 1 minute between songs, unless you have a traffic problem.

 

  But the question was about the banner and Franke answered that.

Add me to the continuous loop column. Do you really think people are going to know your schedule? Or even care? It might actually be a "decent" show but if someone drives by while you're dark they'll never know that.

My show this year is 2 1/2 hours long no repeating songs. So, I think I'm gonna cut it in half and run a different show every other night. That way people have something to come back to. And yeah, a continuous loop. If somebody drives by and the house is dark they may not come back. I know I wouldn't wait.....I come to watch lights. If I wanted dark I'd be home in bed..zzzzzzzzzz

I've got 1.5 hours of sequences but so many people came last year to hear one of the two Frozen songs and their animations on the pixel tree, the traffic wouldn't move. So I had to bump up playing of those sequences to every 3rd one, just to satisfy the viewers and help the traffic move. No clue if the same ones will be as popular or expected as last year. I do 4 seconds between sequences and run continuously from 5:30 to 10Pm each night.

Seems like main reason for running a show parttime, would be for traffic control.
 Until that point, I would run it continuously.  

I would hate to be a guest, enjoying the show and there isn't a "next songj".

Most guest only stay for a song or 2, so don't see the merit in having no repeats in a multi-hour show. I would rather concentrate on improving sequences for fewer songs that a boat load of them.  I think most would agree, you can always improve a sequence.
