Questions: practical and pricing
Hello,
I'm completely new to stage lighting, but have quite a few years of experience in (hobby) music production.
I'm looking for a solution to control some 3-4 light fixtures at most at any one time. Ideally, I would like to be able to either control lights directly from my DAW, or alternatively trigger scenes from my DAW.
I know you can trigger scenes in Daslight 5 from midi, so...
Question 1: could I use a "virtual midi cable" and route that internal signal from my DAW to Daslight in order to trigger scenes? If not, would an external hardware sequencer be an option - i.e. trigger the hardware sequencer from my DAW which in turn will trigger scenes in Daslight.
Question 2: Since I'm only going to control 3-4 light fixtures, will the software Daslight Express be enough? I dont mind if I have to have one project file per song. I think Express is included in the "dvc fun" package right?
Question 3: if a full version of Daslight is recommended, is the price then 179€ for the hardware, plus another $139 for the software license?
Question 4: can I install Daslight 4/5 to multiple computers?
Many thanks
