Only for some apparently - am using it regularly with no problems….
I’ve been looking for a solution for 2 days now. =(
That looks ok but I’d suggest a network mask of 255.255.255.0 on both devices.
Presumably you can ping your artnet node from windows?
What is the node make/model?
I think I have found your device - ProLights ArtNet Node?
If I am correct then you may need to set your node universe to 0 to match VSTL - both of them appear to start counting at zero (=universe 1)
changed the mask. But everything remains the same. I am attaching a detailed video!In short, the program sends a signal to the ArtNet node. Only when you press play and stop.
Have you tried turning on the monitor button in the DMX track? That should pass your fader movements to the output
Yes, of course. It’s in the video above.
If you have two active, network cards, currently you can’t select VL which to use. That caused me confusion already. So for now, please
- disable the non ArtNet ethernet
- to see DMXMixer working, you need to enable the “monitor” for the DMX track
I disconnected via network connections, wifi network adapter. nothing has changed. same problem and same symptoms
Not exactly - the DMX monitor in VSTL only shows DMX inputs which you have set to the DMX mixer. For live changes from the DMX mixer to pass out to the node you need to enable the monitor button on the track ( ]->). It should then show up in the artnet monitor program and hopefully at the node.
I specifically removed the node indicators at 1:00 AM. No information is transmitted when starting. When you press stop, the data is sent. Check again.
Ok - one step at a time.
Forget the node for the moment: I was trying to get you to a point where you can move the DMX sliders and have it show up in your external monitor software. Once you get that working you can then troubleshoot the node.
At the moment you have no DMX going to the monitor software so it’s reasonable to assume it won’t get to the node either.

Ok Houston we have progress…
Have asked @Treble_Clef to upload the project file for analysis.
@Spork - can you assist please?
Symptoms: An existing DMX track in an existing song will not take input from the DMX sliders. Creating a new DMX track in the song also does not work. Creating a new song in the project (or creating a new project) will work with the sliders.

Attention!! We are with @CliveJ We’ve made significant progress in identifying this issue. The main problem is in the project!!! The DMX engine isn’t transferring data within the project. What we’ve found:
- New project - everything works, and the mixer is sending data!
- New song in the current project also works.
- Previously created songs don’t!
Thank you so much @CliveJ . I’ll gather all the information and provide screenshots and videos! Perhaps we can find a solution so that old songs can work again.
Aw shucks - it was a pleasure.

Hello friend @CliveJ ! I found a new fact. The problem is actually at the song level.
I just tried to create a new project. History repeats itself. DMX is not working.
I’ll tell you step by step.
- I saved one of the songs along with the media through the “save song” tab
- created a new project
- I created a song and a dmx track in it. Everything is OK! It works.
4.I imported the song through the “load song” tab
5.tried to create dmx in it. And again nothing works.
From here I conclude that you need to look for the problem at the “song” level and not at the project or playlist level. System file of each song! Bingo

That is great diagnosis! I would probably have come to that conclusion myself eventually.
I think that this problem requires special attention from developers.
The essence of the problem:
The program does not send ArtNet packets (signal) to control the node (Dmx controller). In songs created earlier.
I checked the possible options:
1.Save the song as an independent element, create a new project and import. - ArtNet doesn’t work
2.Deleting user settings and starting the project - ArtNet does not work.
3. Complete removal of VSTL 3 and installation again, along with components-ArtNet doesn’t work.
The only possible option is to create a new song and manually transfer each element through the track selection and buttons (copy/paste) and this can take many hours
I ask developers to pay attention to this problem!!! @Spork
SPECIAL THANK YOU
@CliveJ
For your responsiveness and help in finding the problem.
PS: please add the ability to select (copy) several or all audio tracks using the CTRL key.
