As long as a program is user friendly, I don't mind working with it. In my mind, mydmx is very user friendly.
I am actually enjoying playing around with it.
In my light show, I am controlling around 15 DMX fixtures and using 2 different hardware controllers for them. I am using a DMX-40 and the DMX-50 DMX controllers. I think that's the model. Each one can only control 12 fixtures so I had to use two of them.
With mydmx, I can work with them ALL, all at once which I love. I would love nothing more then to get rid of my lighting console and just have my laptop, which I hope to in the near future once all of my lights are over to DMX.
But for now, its practice, practice, practice til its the way you like it.
I love not having to worry about having my lights hooked up to it to see what its going to look like since mydmx has the 3d visualizer.
