Jdelpizzo Any feed back on using Show Buddy lighting DMX with Stage Traxx?

After a Quick Look at Show Buddy, it appears to be the opposite of ST3, Lighting control is its primary purpose not Audio , trying to marry the two together might work but seem like a lot of time and effort will go in to it and possibly be unreliable at the end.
What’s more important to you, audio backing or a well lit stage is the question.
I think very soon there will be software that handles everything in one package very simply and nicely.
But how long will we have to wait is anybody’s guess.
Good luck!

Keep in mind there are two different Show Buddy products - Show Buddy Setlist and Show Buddy Active - which Show Buddy product were you actually referring to?

Scott Uhl did some nice videos on his YT Channel about these products a month ago. I found them interesting just to understand what these products can do. I can't remember specifics any more, but I do remember thinking that Show Buddy Setlist did have a lot of overlap with ST. I think one reason SBS was a no go for me was its very limited audio backing tracks capability (number of tracks, or something..).

Anyway, always good to learn more about products on the market so if anyone is interested, here are Scott's videos:

Jdelpizzo I have Showbuddy and Stagetraxx. ShowBuddy is really good actually but only for Mac/Pc. Timebased input for lyrics, midi cues and DMX lights. I prefer the lighting side to anything else I've tried, which may be quite limited. Stagetraxx tracks is really great- much easier to use and smaller footprint on stage.

Seems a bit counterintuitive
Showbuddy is a timeline based dmx software with backing track integration playback

Sorry, I am not familiar with show buddy. It seems to be controllable via midi so you should be able to control it via ST3.
