As I laid down for bed last night, it occurs to me, I need to add a video on how to remap channel ordering using the profile manager.

XMUS,
Nice work - better than a manual.

Maybe I could send you about 6 songs and you could make a video on how to sequence 6 songs? I am only selflessly offering this as a courtesy to the newer members of the fourm and promise I wouldn't use them until next year

Awesome, amazing.... NICELY DONE.

You and me both, you don't want to know how many hours I wasted figuring out chasing..... and trying to time lights to music without creating a beat track. And using 25 ms for SLOW songs... I probably wasted 40 to 80 hours last year on those mistakes. I hope I save everyone some time!

Look at first post.

Fantastic

This is just what this noob needed! Thank you for taking the time to help others. I'm getting more and more confident in this endeavor. 2008 will be my first try at this. It is the hard work of everyone who posts here that keeps me saying I can do this myself.

Regards,
