"I went to the LDI 2009 exhibition confident that I was going to purchase a certain lighting design software program. I had made up my mind and was excited to take their class at LDI for a quick start. After attending a two day class on the product, I was confident on how to use the program and planned to drop by their booth to make the purchase when the show opened. But, on the way to their booth I happened to walk by the Design & Drafting / LD Assistant booth; I stopped by to see what they were up to.
One of the salesmen took the time to show me how easy it was to create a lighting plot with audio and video playing back - we walked through the design in real-time while the lighting was being controlled by a lighting console! I have to say I had never seen a program that was that easy to use. |
|
I spent more that an hour at the Design & Drafting booth, asking questions about 'how to do this' and 'how to do that', and I was quickly shown exactly how to do it. At this point I decided to rethink my earlier purchasing decision.
The next day I returned to the Design & Drafting booth and bought LD Assistant. For me, LD Assistant offers more benefits than any other CAD program on the market. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!" Tim Burke
