We use MyDMX 2 for stage lighting in a live venue to light bands etc. Setting up shows is very labour intensive with the way the software works.
Our setup consists of white key lights on the front truss and coloured on the back truss. We shoot video so the key lights have to be colour timed.
My wish list.
1. The ability to Copy and Paste in the editor. for example.. copy certain settings from one scene to another. It would be great to have the ability to select a fixture and copy colour, intensity to another fixture in that scene or another scene.
2. Fixture Name Labels on the Fader rather the numbers.
3. Scrollable fader left or right using Mac Gesture swipes.
4. The ability to collapse or group the channels per fixture on the fader window.
5. Ability to have more than one show (.dim) open at a time allowing switching between them.
I realize MyDMX is more suited to DJ's and not live venues. I also see that the software was ported over from the PC version to the Mac rather than creating the Mac version from scratch. It still has the look and feel of a PC rather than the typical Mac software.
Just my 2 cents
Thanks
