Compare to Paradigm

I very fluent in what Paradigm can do. But a few new projects have very limited needs; house lights, a few stage presets and not much else. Paradigm would be a waste. I'll need a few buttons and relays for a couple dozen static lights. (There will be a full console for complex events.)

So I'm asking those that have used both, what will I miss?

  • You'll miss the ability to pick what lights are involved in your actions. An echo preset effects all lights in a given space. This means if you want houselight presets and stage light presets you will need two seperate echo spaces. This is easily doable but then what if you want presets that impact the stage and houselights? For this you would have to record the look in the two spaces separately and then set up a button to fire them both at the same time. The idea of "groups" is pretty much non existent in echo. You are either dealing with one lighting zone or the whole space through a preset.
