How Do You Choose a Lighting Console or Software for Stage Lighting?

What kind of console would I get mostly for a theatre type of show?

Hello, I'm new to the lighting scene and i found your videos super interesting and useful ! I've been watching shows to see how lights are done and everything so I can help my friends with their show (they do public representations), however they do use a lot of fire thing (fire staff, fire sword, fire breathing) as well as riding horses/making them walk around and doing things like crouching, etc. And I've been wondering how I can use light to enhance those things. I know that fire can be self-sufficient but sometimes it's not since there are times they're juggling with their equipment and thus need light to see. I've been using red and oranges, sometimes a bit of white for the fire and mostly blue/pink for the horses since it's calmer music (horses are sensitives). We don't have much of a budget either, pretty much none at all. They have 8 PAR lights and I recently bought a moving head (I have yet to receive it and need to train with it too) but it will not be used for this show they're doing since it will be over this week. They're planning on doing a similar show next year and that's when the moving light will be used. However, I will probably be asked to help on their photo shooting, etc. where they also use fire. I have not found any good information online (or I probably don't know how to find them). Thank you for reading this and I'd be really greatful if you can help ! ❤

What would be the cost for the two units in your demo? The ADJ and midi fader.

Can you give a short overview what device and software manufacturers earned trust by offering software/firmware updates over the longest period of time?

[@LearnStageLighting]

Simply put, we only recommend platforms that do this.
