Soooo back to the TOPIC....

Andy what is the issue with that ishow dac? you keep saying dont buy it, but never say why?

well when playing beam shows or animations using itop/ishow the image is crap. out of shape, tails on animations etc...

when i first started out i didnt know anything that i now do and i thought i had scanner problems. when i got the fb3 i was shocked the difference was something else.

if you draw a circle in itop you get a funny shaped circle. if you use a proper dac you get a proper circle.

let me see what vids i have

here we go a show i made in itop.

if you look at 52 seconds in, that suppose to be a square

it just dont compair to all my other dacs

well you get what you pay for..
thats perfect for the price range and a prety good deal for the hobyist..

For the price, you cant expect much and i will say that just having the computer controlled laser is cool and worth the 150 bucks.. There are better options on the horizon so i agree.. dont buy it..

personally i dont think it is worth the money, but thats just me

thats cuz you have a white laser and pg3

no thats cos ive used itop/ishow and know how crap it is

if it were me, i would rather keep the money and carrying on saving for something else

i totaly agree with you .. but i like i hate you (ok its not hate its envy)

lol gona do a few more pics tonight, so keep an eye on my photo thread in the media section

what about alphalite pro xc?

that is what i always used and am very familar with it.

i have been out of the laser/party scene for over a year now and am getting back in and will be building my own laser shortly.

the only downfall for me with the alpha lite is it doesnt have usb capabilities.

i really like their abstract (.AB1) and sine (.SIN) files and how you can play with the draw speeds and also play with the abstract x and y oscillators.

are there any DAC's that are simlar to that but have usb?

heres a link for reference and also you can download a demo on there.

(i cant post links)

also here is a new years show i did and i was actually playing around with this abstract live to make a few different effects

but my goal is to be able to do like things of this sort so if you could refer me to another program that would be greatly appreciated



thanks in advanced

im not impressed with that video, whats so special about it?

other dacs cna do much more than move a circle round

envy envy envy!!!!! Damn you and your white laser!!!

Im gonna be broke because of you!!!!!!!

arn't we all

Hi All. I did buy there DAc and it died. well now it is 3 months later and no DAC from there so called warenty with a possible repair charge or a $65.00 return charge if they feel like it. So in the long run they are not worth it. Buy Quality not the cheaper junk from China. Don't bother with there no responce when you want something. They only want your money then they respond to you all the time. Chinese department store is a question of sanity. You will loose. John: g:

Ishow sucks.....nothing new about that. Should have saved that ca$h 4 pango!

The Ishow DAC is very cheap. I tried to contact the Ishow makers to get info for making a driver for Spaghetti but they did not respond. Maybe with better software it would be a good deal but I do not know.

If anyone has one of these IShow DACs and would let me borrow it for a little while I could try to sniff the USB packets and try to write a driver for it to work with Spaghetti. For your trouble I would be happy to offer you a few Spaghetti license files that you could keep or sell.

so the ishow isn't an easylase clone?

I don't know what it is but I have seen them as low as $135 so they are very worth looking into. It would be nice if the company that makes them would be a little more helpful. I haven't managed to even get a response from them.
