[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 41224, member: 46"] Re: Software DMX controller for Mac? I agree with that analysis. DMXIS's biggest asset is that it is SUPER SUPER SUPER simple to use. What I love about it is that I can put just about ANYBODY on lighting and they can seem like they know what they are doing once I build a few presets for the show. And if I am always using the same lighting rig, it's a no brainer, open the program and start clicking on the scenes you want from the list. Make obviously named presets like "Focus on presenter", "Guitar solo", etc and go. And if I can't get anybody to run it, I can do it myself without it being much of a distraction from mixing. I have even run it from stage while playing drums by using a foot pedal to do scene changes. Sure, you lose some control, but I have been able to do some pretty respectable looking shows with Mac250's, various dimmers, led pars, etc etc without issue. I have MagicQ installed but rarely find a need for it, DMXIS covers a fair bit of ground. Saying that may make real lampies groan, but I think some of the stuff I have been able to do with DMXIS is way more than reasonable for small venues. I have saved a lot of expense by not needing a lighting guy at some events. [/QUOTE]
