[LCtalk] Simple practical session?

[John Conry]

I am very interested to read that a number of people have given up on 
the Lanbox because some of the LcEdit basics seem too high a hurdle to 
jump over. As I stated in previous posts, I have used my Lanbox for 
really simple shows and also some very complex ones. I have always had 
the highest level of satisfaction with both the setting up and execution 
of the shows.

Would it be helpful to put together a very simple case study with, say, 
10 fixtures and then programme some simple cues so that the end to end 
process can be seen? Let me know, I would be happy to set something up. 
I promise you that once these basics become second nature, you will find 
that the Lanbox is a formidable tool.

I don't find any lighting desk (Strand, Jands, Zero 88 etc.) intuitive 
when you first start to use it. Even though I know the Strand 5XX really 
well, I still have to refer to the manual every time I configure 
scrollers so that the move while dark feature works. Remembering that 
colour is attribute 2 and then the patching command syntax is far more 
complex than most of the things that Lanbox does!!

Best,
John
