Question on a Tri Cree
I'm thinking of getting a Custom Tri Cree with Red Orange/Amber/White dies. White for FoC, and mixing the other two to try to get a deep orange. Anyone done this before? Am I over thinking this? Would it be better to use an RGB and mix the colors? If so would i just use FoC with a different resister to create a good noticeable flash?

What sound card are you using?

Thanks. I kinna figured RGB mixing wouldn't be best. I know I could via resistors but that would be pretty much trail and error without buying a few pots.

Trial and error is fine. Buy a handful of various value resistors and experiment. They're only pennies and it's good to have spares. It's the easiest option for pseudo colour mixing with the NB.

Is it possible to get a good FoC effect with RGB as well? I've always thought FoC was best with white.

Finally found a video of someone with same LED set up:

That's Girot, he's a member here. Maybe you could PM him for a little assistance.
