What Video Editor did you guys use?

[JLDJUK]

@DJessej1 This video was edited in imovie 2011 but the setup demo videos (within this video) were edited in Adobe Premier Pro

System looks awesome! I normally run my colorstrips the same way you did the "large system" =) 1 suggestion would be to do the skrim king skirts on the speakers stands. It really cleans up the look alot... oh and a question is what lighting do you run during a slow song?... keep it up!

[JLDJUK]

@suarezrh Thanks :) glad you like it. I may get scrims later on. I find that sometimes uplighitng and skrims detract from the main light show. During a slow song I put my scanners into DMX mode and just put them on a spot or slow movement.

Up to this, I've been using relatively cheap Thomann branded speakers so I'm sure the RCF's or Mackies would be a big jump sound quality wise? I want to spend my budget achieving better sound then worry about upgrading lights etc later.

Looking at the size of that room I'm impressed that a small looking speaker can fill it so easily. Would the RCF's be my best bet on a budget of around €1000?

Thanks again for all the videos...really instructive :-)

Great video Joe. I'm about to upgrade my speakers soon and I'm looking at the RCF's that you use in this video and also Mackie SRM 450 MK2, although I've been reading quite a lot of horror stories about quality control on the Mackies, so I'm leaning toward the RCF 312.

Up to this I've been more of a hobbyist, in it for the music more than anything, but I'm getting more and more requests to do parties and events etc... nothing big though..60-120 people usually.

@beansOfJelly Yep no controller needed. They also have a feature when they don't hear any music they automatically turn off. I can highly recommend them. brilliant lights :)

[beansOfJelly]

@JLDJUK Awesome...so I take it when you shut them down, you pull the plug? thats what I meant, no controller? I'm considering getting a pair of Chauvet mushrooms!

[DJessej1]

@JLDJUK alright soudns good ^_^ how much is the rack? and you should do a video on how to set up your lights. thank you
