Hello, people who know way more about dmx than I do.
Here's what I have.
I have 4 dmx dimmer packs, a "12v, 27channel dmx, rgb controller," several dmx disco ball spot lights, two strips of 12v, rgb strip light, one disco ball and a computer with an output to a stereo. Currently I have a velleman usb dongle and freestyler. I am learning that the velleman k8062 is not the right dongle and freestyler is not the software that I want. I have all of this on a boat, so, low wattage is a concern.
Here's what I want.
This boat is going to be a crazy, lit up party for our local, waterfront blues festival. I would like a dongle and software that will enable me to control the rgb lights, the rgb spot lights and also have them react to music. The other use for all of this nonsense is Christmas. In the past, I have done a sequenced, incandescent light show on the boat. This year, I intend to use all rgb led, and the software/hardware that I have is not up to the task.
I am not afraid to spend a little (more) money. I clearly need a new dongle and some software. On the other hand, this is a toy to me, so I don't need to spend real money, since there will be no return on any of this.
Here are my questions.
What is the difference between enttec and enttec pro?
Is there a difference between an enttec controller from enttec, or one that is enttec compatible?
What software do I want to check out for rgb lights, time sequence light shows and sound reactive lights?
Please keep in mind that I am a filthy construction worker and don't know an aweful lot about computers, networks, or spelling, for all that matter.
Oh yeah, the computer is a pc running windows 7. I have an android phone, and someday would think I was pretty cool if I could remote the boat lights from my phone.
Thanks,
Mark
