A chase (in stage and theatre lighting) is a series of 'steps' which can be played back manually, automatically, or in time to music (so long as your console can support this function). Steps can be programmed by creating a 'look' on stage, and then saving that to the console. This is repeated for as many steps as you want, and when completed, you can choose the mode in which it plays back. There are many modes depending on what console you have but they are mainly Forwards, Backwards, Bounce (first step to last step then back again) and Random. Chases can be used to create very interesting effects on stage especially when placing your lights in good positions and with certain gels. The transitions between steps don't always have to be quick, but rather a slower, more gentle fade (again, so long as your console can support this function).

How do you get lights to track with sound on stage?
To get stage lights to flash or change in time to music, first of all you need you lighting controller to support this function. If you are using PC software to create a show, then you most likely can do this, as most computers have a microphone or line in jack, which could easily analyse audio signals. If you are using a conventional lighting console, look through the instructions to find steps to achieve this, or you can look on the back of the console for an RCA jack designed for audio input. If you have all this, the next step is to start designing chases, which is what is used to make lights track to music on stage. Follow this link to another answer that I recently wrote explaining what a chase is in stage and theatre lighting:

What are color casts?
In photography, color casts are overall color shifts in the resulting image as compared to what is normally seen by the eye. If caused in the printing stage, it is due to deviations in time, temperature, chemistry, or exposure, or incorrect filtration in the enlarger. If caused in the image capturing stage, it is usually a mis-match of the color temperature of the dominant light source versus the color temperature rating of the film in use. This can usually be prevented or minimized by choosing the right film type for the color temperature of the lighting and proper filters on the lens, or by over-powering the dominant lighting with electronic flash.
