Monday March 27, 2017 – Expert Topic: Busking for Live Events SOLD OUT FOR THIS YEAR
This class will explain some common techniques to get the most out of your console and the lights in your rig. These often combine playbacks with programmer based busking. Learn how to maximize your desk for the most versatility when you don’t know the band or there is no rehearsal time. Creating great dynamic looks on-the-fly is possible. As much how you set up your console as it is how you approach the show. How to group you your lights, best use of presets, macros, multiple cue stacks.
Both courses will be taught on Ion consoles however all lessons will apply to the entire EOS Family of consoles (Ion, Eos, Gio, Eos Ti).
