Mike Manzara Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 I reallly like Queen of the Winter Night. Being a newbie I have tried using some sequences produced by others and they either have too many channels or not enough channels and there is no music. Bottom line is I still have a lot to learn. The tapper wizard works fine and the beat wizard is pretty good. It also helps to show the audio file.Thanks for the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have 32 channels so look at sequences with 48 channel or more and that way you have more effects to choose from.Is your yard well balanced (symmetric) ..........if so that can make sequencing a bit easier..........well it gets a bit easier for me after 3 years.I said that to say that many shared sequences do not fit very well in my display unless I hack, paste, add effects etc.........after you do all that you practically end up making a new one.Like Jim said the timing marks are the things you want from a shared sequence.That being said I actually found a few sequencers that have symmetric yards and what they do in their sequence can easy fit into mine, and now I found out that the fellow (whom I thanked in an email) for sharing his sequences will have over 300 channels this year (way more than my 176 out of 192 channels that I use) and so I guess there will be some displays added in his display.I now have 3 sequences completed, 1 was done for me and two I did myself. I like everything in even numbers (including arches) where others like a odd number on the arch.All 3 sequences are songs that (maybe) no one has ever done. 2 songs for sure are about Canada so I doubt anyone south of us well use them.I have a few more songs that are along the same lines and I was given permission to use these songs.Anyhow there are shared sequences out there that will fit with some adjustments made to the sequences that you can use, but when you do your own from scratch including timing marks you learn a lot more and your happy. The wave form helps me (not all songs) but it helps nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Manzara Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 Well, call me ambitious but I would prefer to have at least 10 songs programmed that I could mix and match on various days of the week and create 2 shows per weekend night.My proposed lineup:O, holy night by Caroll Baker (Canadian Artist)Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (Carol Baker)Queen of the winter night (TSO)Wizards of Winter (TSO)Christmas Canon (TSO)Little Drummer Boy (Manheim Steamroller)at least 4 others once I find the appropriate music. I want to have each show at least 15 minutes in length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjmiller Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Just a slight correction of the TSO song title - it's Wizards in Winter. I made the same mistake when I first posted my animations last year on youtube (sjmiller4)....Even after whipping out 8 songs from scratch and tweaking one from a download, I find I spent on average of 40 to 60 hours per song doing the animation. Last year I had 64 channels of LOR and 96 channels of a DIO project (on/off). And used 81 channels, I'm adding another 32 channels of LOR this year and redoing my entire display.Welcome to the world of creative lighting - the more you have the more you want..Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
