Christian Jackson's video: Taking the Plunge - GrandMA3 on the Euphoria Tour

In a few short months, I'll be heading back out on the road with the venerable Louis The Child crew on our first tour back after over a year of no in-person shows. I'm so excited to safely get back to doing what I love, and I hope to see you out at one of the shows if we are in your area. We have an entirely new show that we're all eager to show off as one of the first tours back in action in the USA as restrictions are easing up. To make things more exciting, MA Lighting and ACT Lighting asked me to be a part of their user feedback program for MA3. I saw this as the perfect opportunity to really put the new hardware and software to the test out on tour. Don't worry, I'll also be bringing my MA2 as a safety net :) MA3 is now in a phase of development that makes me excited to not only give it a try, but spend the required amount of hours necessary on it to become fluent.

Unfortunately the MA3 software was lacking a ton of features I needed at the time, so I never got around to building a full show with it.
