Dimming Curve or Dimming on Board

[nunofernandes]

whats the best way to apply dimming?

Should I go through each string and apply the dimming curve of say 50% in the software, or tell the pixcon16 board to dim everything at 50%?

I take it what you are asking is, you looked at the actual lights and "Oh my God, that's too bright".  Dim it on the controller.  DO NOT try to dim each sequence.

That is one of the major limitations of the Pixie controllers.  You can't dim the strings on the controller.

Depends on what you are looking for, using the controller will affect all sequences. Dimming in the sequence only affects that sequence so it depends on what your goals are.
