Recommendation for light console

Software and a fader wing is the common sense choice unless you're willing to spend a few thousand dollars on a basic console.  I strongly support spending good money on a modern moving light console if you can justify the need, but before spending any money it's a good idea to define what your actual requirements are for the new board so that you can size it correctly.  Hope this helps!

Jeff,
Thanks for the input. I have decided to revisit the Dpro software. You mentioned a fader wing. Can you give me an example ?

No worries, and sorry for the delay in posting back - I've been on the road the past week working a few jobs.

So if you're sticking with Enttec then naturally I'd suggest using one of Enttec's wings (link).  They're discontinued now but can still be readily found with a quick internet search.  Since D-Pro supports OSC commanding any surface capable of using this protocol can generally be used for control.  An internet search of "OSC Fader Wing" will give you several options to explore.  I'll caution you that these will require a bit more configuration out of the box compared to the Enttec wings meant to work with their own software, but ultimately either solution can work.  Hope this helps!
