Will, are you reffering to PCDJ DMX? If so, I wouldn't be quite so blunt as you, as I haven't really played with it, but I am inclined to agree from what I've seen:rolleyes:
Whereas PCDJ audio software is excellent at what it's intended to do:D


I've tinkered with a couple of PC DMX programs, including freebies (I bought the cheapo USB>DMX watsit from Australia), but I have (through work) ShowCad's Artist system which is an industry standard system, it has a fully DMX compliant USB>DMX convertor.
Luminar use Artist extensivley in CRC's and Jumpin' Jacks.
It is object based and easy to program once you get used to it, as it's quite mindblowing stuff :cool: However it does have a few too many bugs and instability for the weak hearted:eek: . - oh yes, and rather expensive:( - £1000ish full up:eek:

I think they started to fit ShowCad about 3 years ago, possibly because it can control all the lighting in a unit and has a real time clock and script to fully automate the lights. Pretty cool when the house lights drop and the disco lighting comes up all by itself:cool:

The Daslight gear looks pretty good, and not a bad price! I think I'll download and have a butchers:D

It's awesome, I don't run it myself, however I've used it "offline" loads. I did buy the 100BASIC box, but realised I couldn't run the newer software on it...so it went back after one gig. Was nice to use it briefly....

I would consider buying the GOLD box in the future.

I've been using freestyler for a couple of years now, I find it stable, easy to use & has all the features a mobile would need - running it on Vista OS on a dedicated laptop with no issues at all. Running maximum of 12 fixtures & a dimmer/switch pack. Love it and it's free!(small donation)
