First Time DMX-USB Help

[Joie Gonzalez]

I'm currently the lighting designer for a dance recital in my city and I am wanting to control 4-X-move led plus r , 2 Q-spot 160 led, 8 Color Palettes and maybe a few more fixtures from my COMPUTER. I've never done this before but I know many people that have. I'm just wondering what I need to do this I am on a very strict budget for this show. So please list any interfaces and softwares that i can use that are under 60$

then pick up one of many free programs, chamsys , GrandMa and others, however if your computer or dongle or you stuff up on the night you run the risk of being lynched by disgruntled parents. i think the title lighting designer may be a touch pretentious, I, and probably many others would not risk doing a show on such a risky setup/

I recommend the Enttec DMX USB Pro. It is a little out of your price range but I find it to be very reliable. There are many free software programs you can use with it.
