Hi all,
I have had a good search on the topic and read, re-read and re-re-read the 101 but I'm really struggling with the basic process or workflow of putting it all together.
I crashed and burned pretty hard last year with very little to show for over $1k (and a lot of time) spent on lights. I'm back into it again this year but seem to just get stuck on how it all fits.
Basic plan is RGB outlines for starters, I've got the strips, conduit, controller and FM transmitter.
Where to start?
- Measure up all the outlines, make all the lengths, put it all up then work out channels etc into software?
- Measure up all the outlines, 'Build' in software, make lengths to suit, put it all up?
- Something completely different?
I'm hoping I'm not the first to get stuck on this? Maybe it seems obvious to others but I just can't seem to get stuck in to it because I'm worried about getting too far and realising I've missed something, I'm not a fan of re-work where it can be avoided.
I know there may be different preferences but I'm happy to just pick an option that I trust works and get movin on it.
Thanks
