Hi, i'm playing with resolume for 3 months. And now i think it's the time to buy some hardware and go playing live with some vj friends of mine, but i'm very lost with the lot of brands, models and types of hardware that exist!
My budget is now very high (like 200euros), what can i buy with this money? I want some versatile that feel me free to mixing, effects, color correction etc. (sorry for my poor english eheh)
Thanks
banicos.

Re: Cheap Rig
by hardware, i imagine you are speaking of physical control of resolume with a midi controller.
there are so many midi controllers out there and choosing a specific controller will be based on your particular needs and vj style.
over the years i have purchased several midi controllers:
m-audio Oxygen 25
evolution UC-33
Behringer BCR2000
Behringer BCF2000
Resolume specific re:ACT from NETZIEL
stc-1000
faderfox LC2
all of these have been sold off or will be with the exception of my Faderfox LC2.
I have found that it is just the right size to be mobile, and give physical control of the most important parameters in resolume.
- the quality is stellar,
- the battery operated option is convenient and reduces setup needs/time.
- the modular nature of the faderfox product line offers expandability as needed. (they can be linked together)
- the footprint is small
- the horizontal cross fade, visually represents the resolume a/b crossfade.
- the fader groups have a 2nd level at the push of a button. (with red/green led indicators)
in many ways, i wish this was the first midi controller i purchased... it is up there price-wise... but in the long run i would have saved a lot of money by starting there.
the other controllers i have had were all good... For my needs, the faderfox LC2 has been the best investment
On a budget your best bet is probably a Behringer BCF2000, as it is a good value and has a good mixture of buttons, knobs and faders.
