I started getting into DMX programming in january, using Enntec Emu. It was time consuming to say the least. Then I discovered MaestroDmx. I've learned more about DMX programming in the 3 weeks I've had this device, compared to the 3+ months with EMU. I love this thing. Took it out for my bands gig on April 5th and it blew everyone away.
You need some time to play around with all of the options available. Start small. I patched my 4 moving heads. Played around for a spell with color palettes, energy levels, etc to get an overall feeling how each option affects the fixture. After getting comfortable, I added my par lights. I look forward to new product updates. Take advantage of all the support forums, Facebook support groups and YouTube videos. Its been a tremenous help.
Yes, this device is new and will get better over time
