Guys and gals. Firstly can I say a massive THANKS to the many that have welcomed me and offered wise advise and encouragement. It is very much appreciated.
I am a bit surprised to see that after just 3 weeks I have clocked over 100 posts! Must be enjoying myself then.
DMX controllers. I am an expert having watched one youtube video (LOL) and know what I need to do. I have considered laptop control, but having seen the programs on offer I would rather go the hardware route.
I am considering the Chauvet DMX-55. I believe it is discontinued, but stand to be corrected on that. Anyone got one of these? What do you think? What others are worth looking at. I am looking at c£100 really, so no silly expensive ones. I do want 8 faders+ for ease. Programming it isn't an issue, just which one is a good 'un and which should I walk away from. looking to buy brand spanking as usual, unless someone has a very nice one going silly cheap.
Thanks again. I owe you all a Pint.:beer1:

Try this (http://www.thomann.de/gb/stairville_dmxmaster_i.htm) controller. I've seen it on videos on youtube and it seems like a good one to choose. You could have it delivered for around £100 too ;)

Hi buddy,
I have a Chauvet Stage Designer 16 DMX Controller. (http://www.chauvetlighting.com/stage-designer-16.html)
It works brilliant with my brand spanking new purchase - 4 x ACME Dynamo's! :D
Scott.
P.S. It cost £100

If you look closely, that's the same controller as the one I have! :D
How do you get on with it by the way??

It's pretty good, I like it.
I'm just venturing in to DMX so I am still trying to figure a lot of things out.

Where did you find that? I can't find it for less than about £90 without delivery :confused:
I'm really gutted I didn't get that controller though. Much better than the one I have although it serves it's purpose. I wanted to get into the world of DMX and now I have, I can upgrade to a better desk :)
