I was excitedly telling my husband tonight that since we will run the show with Lynx Express this year (instead of AL) we can operate the snow machines through the controllers. (We have two commercial DMX snow machines that were operated in other years by simply pushing a go button on a remote control when we saw people outside our house.)
Well, hubby said no that doesn't sound cool at all. It sounds like we'll just run out of snow juice a lot quicker, he said. I hadn't thought about that aspect. So I guess I'm wondering for those that operate snow machines through LEs, do you just do a few seconds a song? Or only every few songs? We made our own snow juice so it's not that expensive, but lowering them from tree pulleys we designed is a bit of a chore and not something we want to do nightly. (They're pretty heavy when full on the way up, though they may be on the roof this year instead.) Usually we did it about 3 times a week. Any thoughts on this? Or experience?
