This is related (a little) to this thread discussing backing tracks. The discussions in that thread about Showbuddy got me thinking about putting together a small lighting rig to give our stage a bit more pizzaz. However, knowing nothing about lighting, Google gives a bewildering array of products and articles that leave me none the wiser but a lot better informed, lol.
Anyway, we're thinking of maybe 4 led movable head wash lights, but the range of prices for these is a bit like guitars - quite cheap to ridiculously expensive. Can anyone throw any light (ha ha, I couldn't resist it) on what we should look for when choosing this type of lighting? Any tips? Anyone using their own lights? Any links to useful "how to" resources online?
Assuming we use Showbuddy running on a MacBook, what hardware is needed apart from the lights and XLR cables? Some kind of interface?
I should point out that we generally play pubs and small clubs.
Thanks!
