Just tried that "new" sequencer that came out.
Yup. Its the same old, same old. Just a fresh coat of makeup. Tried creating a sequence using the same # of controllers as I had under Spectrum - which caused it to jump and stutter on the timeline so badly, you couldn't get an accurate event marker placed. Same as it was before, Jump and stutter. And this was using a comp that is 3x as fast as the one used under Spectrum! The playback area is just as cluttered as Spectrum was, even more so now. Color scheme was apparently drug induced. So, save your time (unless you're really bored!). Edited by LightChristmas - 19 Dec 2008 at 1:56pm |

Just a minor correction to your review. You should hyphenate disease-ridden.

Done.
I really hope folks don't get hoodwinked. It would be a shame to have a potential "light-guru" give up in disgust. |

Let's be nice now... Let's keep the discussion to the to the actual objective advantages/disadvantages of the product and refrain from the name calling. And for the lawyer record... the views and opinions expressed on this forum are strictly those of the respective authors and not necessarily those of Aurorashow.com.

I'd like to point out a few thing about LSP... (and Aurora)
1. LSP has a lot of good marketing verbiage on thier site for thier product. I noticed that LSP is considered "The best Computerized christmas light sequencing software available.", although I'm not sure where that poll was taken though since it's not out of beta yet.
2. I think that after Aurora 1.1 is finalised, a break in application development should be taken to increase to marketability of www.aurorashow.com. Making Aurora look like the advanced, stable product that it is. We're doing the same thing to our application, holding off on new stuff to increase it's marketability and visual appeal to members. Now, I'm not saying to fluff up Aurora and slow it down, lets just spiff up the site with some testamonials, a cleaner site, and more marketing material. Possibly even an unbiased comparison grid of some sort.
3. I find it very interesting that there IS NO COMPANY INFORMATION ANYWHERE about who actually makes the product. Even their DNS is registered by "Domains by Proxy, Inc." -- Just very odd.
So is it what Spec2 was supposed to be?

LSP is the rejected Spec2 with all the warts intact and a few new ones as well. Guy didn't even have the modesty to change the basic front-end. Asked the developer a few hard-ball questions after stating anyone with a little sense knew it was Spec2 with a new name (will it save reliably, supercomputer needed, better support on trouble tickets, etc.) on the PC forums back in Sept.. He went off on a rant and had the thread deleted - and did not answer a single question. I think that in itself speaks volumes for the integrity of the product and producer.

I agree the web site needs work. I'm not the best marketing person on the planet... that is for certain! Feel free to post testimonials.
On another topic... anyone know a good SMTP smart host to have our SMTP server send/receive through? I've traced our email problems down to the Cisco PIX firewall not handling the outbound NAT properly, which makes our emails appear to be coming from the firewall address, not from the SMTP server external address. I've tried a dozen configuration adjustments and can't figure out why the firewall is messing up this one protocol (other protocols originate from the proper address just fine). Some ISPs (like AOL) don't like the email coming from the firewall IP as they can't get an RDNS match. My only choices are to figure out a working Cisco configuration or to run everything through a smart host. Edited by LightsOnLogan - 19 Dec 2008 at 3:38pm |

Remember when Darryl posted screen shots of 2.0 back in August.....My memory serves me right, I had seem that exact same screen before when I looked at LSP screenshots.
I'm waiting for people to start saying...my computer is running at 99% when I try to do something. Edited by ChrisL1976 - 19 Dec 2008 at 5:46pm |
