Running Lights and Music from one laptop

Having a separate pc IS the only option.....Yes Rob, you had no issues in the brief time you played around...

How are you going to explain it to the bride the 1 time some does happen and your laptop crashes during the first song.

You've got 6 grand worth of Bose and you're debating 3 or 400 bucks for a Net Book (or even a laptop) that will not only give you the security of running the music on a dedicated machine, but also the security of have back up....

there should be no debate.....

I'm sorry but I beg to differ with you.... you Do Not have to run two PCs.... it is not a requirement..... I have two PCs of course one is a backup... but, to say you have to is not the case...
 
Rob - you don't have to do anything, you don't have to have back up, you don't have to run Bose.

Hell you don't have to have insurance...don't have to pay taxes (if you don't want to)....

That being said there are ramifications to your choices....If you want to trust that windows and Freestyler will play nice and that your computer won't crash or that you won't create a snafu jockeying between 2 programs on that pc during the B&G first dance...hey, that's your choice
 
Okay... here's my 2 cent....er buck and a qua....er
ah $37.50 (inflation sucks) Take it for what it's worth (probably not much in this economy.) :sqeek:

1. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. :sqwink:
2. Just because nothing has happened before, doesn't mean it won't. :sign2:
3. Playing it safe never hurt anyone. :sqbiggrin:
4. It is impossible to lick your elbow. :sqerr:

I agree.. but at this point and time I don't have the luxury of two computers.... I do have a backup and can switch to it if need be... but two computers at the same time for the moment is not possible....

BTW the reason I bolded number 4 is because... I have an addition to that...

Did you know that it is impossible to touch your tongue to the back of all your teeth.....

Ok... got me there!
But you tried the elbow! I know it!
 
Rob - How can you bot have 2 laptops running at once....Sorry, i don't get it....

For the lights you have, use a controller...

Oh that's an easy one.... I don't have two laptops. I have one laptop and one desktop tower. I don't feel like lugging the desktop anymore.... even though at one time I was a staunch supporter of using desktops vs laptops from a quick and easy to repair point of view.
