Here is my current setup at a church.
2 Dimmer packs (Elation Dimmer Packs) that control around 8, 64 par can incandescent lighting
4 Chavuet Colorail IRC LED's (Take 26 channels of DMX to have the most functionality)
2 Color strip LED's
Elation Scene Setter 24
I want to add more incandescent lighting (Par Cans) on the dimmer packs because we have a lot of extra par can lighting available,possibly one more Colorail and some DMX controlled par can LED lighting and maybe some intelligent lighting that I have laying around that is not being used. The Elation Scene Setter is not really designed to work with the colorail and colorstrip lighting. So the real question is what software and hardware do you recommend to control all of this hardware. I was looking into the ENTTEC DMX USB pro and found that you need to buy their software on top of the hardware. I have looked at the Chauvet USB to DMX and ChamSys MagicQ USB interface with the software. That is what I'm leaning towards as of now. I also have the requirement that I want to have sound activation as part of the software and I'm not seeing that. I'm really open to whatever software and hardware I need. I would like to stay under $250.
The last question is, I'm not sure if I should get hardware that can operate in two universes. Thanks for you help in advance.
