• Easy to use, intuitive and multi-tasking rich!

  300EVILJanuary 25, 2011

  Pros

  Well laid out, easy to use, affordable and feature rich. Also comes with FlashBack 3 show controller.

  Cons

  QuickShow software is not available for use on QM-2000 hardware,,,, Yet.

  Summary

  Pangolin does it again! Another cutting edge product at a GREAT price. QuickShow offers easy setup and a light learning curve for amateur laserists while also offering many new features and tools for pro users. The clean and intuitive layout makes important functions easy to navigate and the cues come loaded with beams and graphics art to get you started. Basic timeline building, adding transitions and effects couldn't be easier. One function I really like is being able to create shows while QuickShow is playing a show, an industry first! The help menu's, videos and setup wizards are very informative and get the user running quickly. QuickShow offers a number of different languages which is also a big plus for non English users. Another great feature is that QuickShow will connect, up to nine FlashBack3 light show controllers and run them simultaneously! Controlling multiple laser projectors has never been easier. If you are looking for a feature rich, multi-tasking, simple to use, yet expansively customizable light show controller at a great price. Look no further... QuickShow is right choice!

• Great laser software for both novice and pro users

  firstlightlaserJanuary 21, 2011

  Pros

  - Very easy to use - Packed with just about every feature you need for creating and running shows. - Virtual LJ makes sync'ing cues to the beat easy - Included frames and preprogrammed effects for new users - Great support

  Cons

  None I've found yet.

  Summary

  This is amazing software packed full of almost every feature a laser show performer could need. The UI is very easy to master even for the most novice users, but powerful enough to perform full multi-scanner professional shows. It comes with a bunch of pre-installed frames and animations for both graphic, abstract and beam effects. Creating your own frames is very straightforward using the frame/animation editor. There is a built in text generator, a spirograph style abstract creator, a simple bitmap tracer and even a real-time clock and countdown generator. Creating custom cues is very easy using either the included effects or creating your own from scratch. You can record a live performance for playback later. There are so many features included in this software for such a reasonable price. Setup and install is a breeze and it's very light on system resources. Pangolin's support is probably some of the best I've ever experienced of any company, not just in the laser industry. You can't really go wrong with this software.

• This program is AWSOME! Worth every penny.

  masterpjJanuary 13, 2011

  Pros

  - Get a lot for a low price and of professional quality too. - Easier to use then most laser software - Fast/friendly/helpfull support. - Low PC resource usage - NO DONGLE I've always been afraid of losing a dongle all the time.

  Cons

  Often I find a con easly...... but I wasn't able to spot any con.. If you do find one: I've ever contacted them and their response was quick, and very helpfull

  Summary

  If you are looking for good and professional quality laser software at a decent price: Look no further. Even though It can be a bit above your budget for some: I suggest you save up for it and start the right way. You get comfortable with it very quickly, the results are stunning. If you do already have laser software: You might consider going for this one now. I switched to this.. And It was even better then what I expected. It runs really well, even on low end computers. The included Graphics are of great quality too. Pangolin also has a showportal. You can upload and download shows, with no additional costs! I haven't seen any other company offering this much, and some services aren't offered by any other company and program at all.
