Hello,
I have been running Compu Live for a little less than a year now, and have gotten fairly savvy with the programming, but there is one thing that I wish was more efficient: I would like to be able to create a new scene or edit an existing one and select exact custom light colors quickly for each fixture.
For example, I am running 8 P64 LED Pros and 8 Design 36 LED's (DLED). Let's say I want half of the Pros to be "purple" (with pre-determined-by-me RGB values), and the other half to be "light blue" (again with specific RGB values). Let's also say that I want the "same" colors for the DLED's. Of course my RGB values (for the Pros vs. DLEDs) for the "same" color will be different b/c the lights just perform differently (I determined my RGB values based on visual perception, not necessarily identical DMX values). So, essentially, I have 4 RGB configurations to apply to 16 fixtures.
Currently, to achieve this scene, I have to physically adjust RGB faders for all 16 fixtures...or create 4 RGB configurations and copy them to the other 12. I know this sound lazy, but when you factor in the fact that I can have as many as 50 more scenes with all sorts of combinations, it can take a WHILE.
What I would like to be able to do is create or find some sort of shortcut "color key". For example, if I could select a "Pro - Light Blue" or "DLED - Purple", "DLED - Yellow", etc., then apply it to certain fixtures in the Scene Edit mode, it would save so much time.
I know I'm wishing for the stars here, but then again, there are a lot of things that this program will do that I just don't know or haven't thought to ask about.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brian
