    Positioning two stage monitors for dance recital?

    Sound f/x custom hardware for ergonomic programming of QLab?

    bye "child'ed" I think I mean, scrubbing through a selection of cues, that may not be audio, but control cues of some kind, like volumen fades, opacity fades, or as a version of selecting how many group nests are being scrubbed in the process.

    Good LED Spot Movers

    If you are doing Theater I'd stay away from Color Wheel only fixtures. They will become frustratingly limiting.

    Used Lighting Console

    located in NJ, the Element 1, was the console before our major auditorium refit 5 years ago. We upgraded to an Ion Xe. We still pull it out on occasion but we are looking to pick up a GadgetNomad education bundle to do the little bit of offsite stuff we do.

    Used Lighting Console
