Greedy Guido is Back

[Greedy Guido]

G'Day Trend Setters,

After being unable to do Christmas lights due to Fly in Fly Out commitments I and now home most of the time (working in office in Brisbane).

I seems forever since I was last on the forum so Hi to everyone.

I see it looks like LSP is dead so is XLights the way to go. It has been so long I need to relearn everything anyway as I have forgotten almost everything everyone here tough me.

Look forward to catching up with the ACL crew again

Welcome back.
Now you have me and plenty more younger members in here . Many of which are like my profile title, annoying!

I do have to say, I love your profile title!


Might need to copyright that one ASAP!

I had a copy of LSP may years ago and at the time it did an enormous amount compared to LOR or Vixen. 1 of the most amazing things that it did was crash LOTS. Xlights does pretty near everything that you could want in a sequencer. 1 of the few things that LSP did and no other sequencer has (as far as I know) was the ability to wipe over a bit of timeline and see the effects/sounds for that section. Xlights does so much more than any other sequencer it really has no comparison. It also has a massive userbase as it has become the preferred sequencer these days. Xlights 4 has absolutely no resemblance to what Nutcracker had way back in the stone age. It's also orders of magnitudes faster at processing than what LSP used to be. It's now a few seconds for every few thousand channels compared to LSP which was probably at least a few minutes for every few hundred channels.
There's a few ACL users pretty close to you assuming you're still in Aspley. Deyne in Bald Hills is an Xlights user. Brad in Bracken Ridge was a Vixen user but he may have come over to Xlights these days. They are both running displays that are probably in the 100,000 channel range at a guess.

I believe @BradsXmasLights is looking to dabble in xlights this year also.
