Further to a recent thread, I am looking to purchase and start using DMX Software, but unsure what to get or what is best.
I have tried ShowXpress from Chauvet, but it doesn't seem to be very stable on my Mac. However I do like the ability to prepogram your show on 3D view before rather than having to program with all your lights hooked up.
So of the top of my head - this is what I would like ......
- A Mac (preferably) or PC Software based DMX Program
- The ability to control preset scenes through a MIDI controller if poss.
- The ability to program moving heads in patterns such as circles or room sweeps without having to program all the induvidual steps.
- Something that is quick, simple and easy to use, as well as program and run on the fly.
- Ideally something where I can preprogram and preview on my laptop like in Showexpress' 3D Viewer.
- Have the ability to run several programs at the same time. For example, I have used Avolites Titan One (as an end user with no programming), and it enabled me to run a moving head program, as well as choose the colour program and gobo independently all at the same time - if that makes sense.
Would be interested to here people thoughts, recommendations and what you guys and girls all use.????
