my apologies if I am posting in wrong place but I am having some problems with what I consider to be a brilliant set of software.
Most of my issues could be fixed with a better manual. I have used light jockey, dmx creator avolights azure among others and this is the first time
I find my self unable to do things I know software is capable of. I have at the moment this requirement . I have 6 macs 4 of which are to be used as random room movement which I have done with the generator , at the same time I want 2 macs locked in position with if possible the ability of changing colour or gobo.
Is this possible?, also I dont understand how the live buttons work as in can I assign scene 1 to page one and scene 2 to page two and have them running at the same time . I have done a note for beginner of how to start from scratch to address and make fixtures and if wanted i could post this to help other beginners.

All you have to do is lock your pan tilt channels on those two movers. Or you can create two seperate scenes. One with your four movers selected for your random room movement from the generator and a second with your other two movers selected for your single spot locations. then you can create other scenes for color change with JUST those two mover selected again. I would create my live screens like this.....

"page 1" - Mover Movements
"page 2" - Mover colors

then all you do is create 3 colums on each page like this.

"Zone 1"
"zone 2"
"zone 1&2"

Zone1 would be all your movements and colors for the 4 heads....
Zone2 would be the other two movers
Zone 1&2 would be for all six.....

Ideas,
White spots swirling the room for enterance "like circus search lights" zone1&2
Sound active random room movement with sound active color change for durring preformance zone1
static position with seperate color buttons Zone2

Very simple. I have used just about EVERY DMX controller known to man in my 13 years of lighting and SWARE by Show Xpress! Easiest and most flexable ever!
