Just gonna introduce myself and what software to use

[VictorNguyen]

Hi my name is Victor. A beginner pyro in Houston who is in charge of the new laser department. Right now our laser department is located in the bathroom but I'm hoping to move out of it soon. Anyway, What software would you recommend for lasers. All I have right now is laserworld and it's going over my head at the moment.

Simples you wont go wrong with pangolin
Quickshow
And wellcome to the forum

[VictorNguyen]

hmm other have recommended lsx

[soforene]

But you did ask for recommendations.
Not just LSX recommendations.
And you can't go wrong with Pango gear so that's another recommendation right there.

[VictorNguyen]

what do you use soforene?

I am a new user to pangolin quickshow and it's very easy to use have picked up alot on it already would def recommend it :-)

[edison]

Another option is Moncha and LSX. The dac works also with LSX so that is a bonus. Moncha is very easy to use and if you are planning to build a projector you can install the DAC in the projector it self and it can be controlled by ethernet. The FB3 dac can only be controlled by usb.

So running 1 ethernet cable to your laptop and your done

The Pangolin fanboys forget one thing: the price. Quickshow + FB3 is $600 while LSX Pro is $350, and he can use it with his old Laserworld DAC (Lumax).

Spaghetti is $89 and works well with Lumax.

Uhh, last I checked, Moncha was well over $1k, but you have't specified a budget, so you're going to get a heap of mixed opinions.

I too would recommend Pangolin, software is amazing and they're the best for customer service I've seen in a long time, but you're talking around $600 for their base (But still very capable) package (QuickShow).
