- How long have you been using it?
Over five years. I actually went through the whole software development: in the beginning, the USER program didn't allow you to have a lot of scenes and programs.
Everything changed after the LIVE program was introduced.
Personally, I use it with a band.
My setup: Acer laptop with keyboard shortcuts that allow me to control the scenes, standard 12/24 desk connected to the Sweetlight interface (it allows me to manually control some classic spotlights) and USB Midi keyboard to trigger scenes.
- Which feature do you like the most / the least?
I like the Live program because it can be entirely and freely personalized (page number, colors, button dimensions, etc.).
However, the old version didn't use many resources (that's the reason why I bought a notebook with only 512 MB Ram and a not-so-fast processor) but the latest version with LIVE requires more processing power and my laptop has not enough anymore. It crashed several times when pushed to the limits. So buy a good computer!
- Did you try any other models before buying it?
I tried out the Sunlight software and I found it less user-friendly.
- How would you rate its value for money?
Very good value for money.
- Based on your experience, would you buy this product again?
I would certainly buy it again.
I've even made disco events for friends who didn't have a computer and I brought mine. After they experienced the possibilities of the Sweetlight and a computer they decided to buy it too.
