Thanks Jingles for the help so far. Been building the "L" shaped room and the setup in the demo version of MyDMX. I hope this is transferrable when I buy the full version!!! I also figured out how to backup everything just "incase of a computer crash" I'm keep 2 old space filling lights on a hardwired plug so if somthing goes wrong, 1 flip of a switch and these 2 lights come on to their own internal mics. Redundancy!!!

My new question is I have 2x CL-15RG lasers that are both DMX controllable. These lasers are great and have lasted a long time. Here's a link to them...

Are they listed in the MyDMX or not? What do I do to control them in the MyDMX? or in those spirits, any other lights that arent listed. I also have very simple par 38 cans (12 of them) that are not DMX capable. But im going to run them on 2x DP415 dimmer packs. How do I set that up in the 3D visualizer to control? Thanks for the help

Hello, You know i thought i had those lasers made but i cant find it. I'm gonna need the dmx traits for the laser then. and yes everything will work exactly the same as when you buy the my dmx unit just now you will be able to ACTUALLY control this stuff you are setting up. lol for your par cans simply look in the "Generic" folder for a par can profile or a generic dimmer profile and enter in as many of those as you need for your par 38's. if you have sets of two lights plugged into the same dimmer then in the 3D you can right click on one of the lights in contrustion mode and duplicate the 3D object of it and you will have two lights responding at the same time in the 3D. Hope this helps. any questions please feel free to ask.
Sincerely,

The good news is that whatever you do in the "Demo mode" of MyDMX is 100% the same as MYDMX in "USB Mode". The difference is you need to pay for the dongle to use the MyDMX software to operate your fixtures.

In other words: keep designing. Once you buy the hardware, you're ready to go.

I'll do more looking as I have time. You'll wnat to save any custom-made profiles, your shows/universe and your rooms. It's not difficult if you saved and named them, you can find those easily with simple searches.

as far as Par38s, just use a simple generic profile. I made my own Par38 profile, which was a scaled down Par56 profile. You don't deal with your dimmer packs directly in MyDMX. What you do is focus on what that dimmer pack is controllling and then do your layout accordingly.
