Hi I guess you would call me a newbie lol hate the phrase. I have purchased LSX and cant wait to get started with it should be here in a few days. I use another lighting software that is christmas related Light-o-Rama It also works on a time line with music. This software has a dongle to use the USB to trasmit data to the controller useing an cat 6 network cable. It does also have a DMX out option for other types of lighting. My questions are, Can I stream the music from the lighting software into the time line within LSX live to trigger animations and effect? Option 2 maybe use the DMX out from the lighting software to trigger effects as needed for the lightshow? This option I am also unclear how and if I can send the DMX out of the lightshow software and back into a second DMX dongle going back into the LSX software for the output to the laser. Option 3 I could setup another computer and maybe use one machine for each software and trigger animations by DMX on the second machine. I am not sure if these are hard questions or not I just am not sure what is the best way to link the two together. There are many people intrested in a process to connect the two together and still work within the same time line. Thanks for any input you might have and if I do figure this out I will be happy to share what I have learned with you and maybe drive some more sales for your software.
