I'm struggling to get my dimmer to work with Max. I can't seem to get the light that I have hooked up to it to respond. It's not hardware issue, as using the debug tool on my DMX interface, I can get the light to respond by dimming as expected.

The final product will be live reactive lighting, taking input from a microphone to control the dimming of the light.

I've been struggling to find any info online about using DMX and Max together. Does anybody have any good resources that could help me out? Thank you!

Personally I prefer DMX control over MIDI. It‘s simpler (IMHO) than USB to DMX solutions (typically handled by [serial] object on Max side). Here is a MIDI to DMX interface I recommend:

+ something like this to use the interface with typical XLR cables:
