I am new to VJing and am having some difficulties determining what factors are most important when choosing software. Having played both guitar-based noise rock and electronica for probably 20 years, I know there are some subtleties that are usually quite important with a new art form that a beginner doesn't even know to ask about. I don't know how much money I have wasted over the years . . .
So, with that in mind, why did you pick Modul8 over other software packages like Resolume? What does it do better? What do you regret about it? What features in Modul8 do you find indispensable that no other software has? I have downloaded demos of both Modul8 and Resolume, and have played around with V-Module in Ableton, but haven't really dug into anything advanced yet with any of them.
As for me, I am not looking to run massive arena light shows or do any projection mapping -- I am just trying to come up with some ways to liven up small venue shows with multi-media so it isn't just me up there hitting play and nodding my head as I pretend to adjust levels.
