In the last 20 years we have seen more lighting consoles come on the market than I can remember. They all strive to achieve the same thing; talk to lighting fixtures, dimmers and media servers. They all get the job done eventually, but I've come to conclude that certain consoles execute some tasks well and others, not so much…I don't think there are any bad consoles out there. Everyone should learn a few different types and not get stuck on one model. It limits your horizons and your ability to work on certain shows where the console being used may not be your choice. If you don't try something new, you may never know what you are missing.
