One question I get more than anything else is "How do I use a 3d visualizer like you...on a budget". In this video, I show you a new visualizer that is licensed yearly for a really reasonable cost. Check out my video to see what I like, and what I don't.

Hey David. Thanks for the review. Do the software offer accurate renderings of moving wash fixtures with pixels?

@LearnStageLighting 4 года назад

So far, it seems so, yes. I haven't found anything that wasn't right. Just like other visualizers, they work off the fixture manual - so if the light's manual is correct, the visualizer will be.

@lgovantes1 Год назад

Great video, but as a DJ with some experience with lighting, I am now looking for a visualized that is best suited for my limited number of lights. Can you recommend what would be the best suited visualized to use with SoundSwitch, and some Chauvet GigBar Move + ILS fixtures, with some other lights like intimidator movers, derbys, pars, and uplights? I don't see me needing any more that 1 universe for most of my setups... worse case may be going to 2 universes, but that would be a very special case.

@malditoklee 4 года назад

Dave nice review and short overview. You didn’t mention if it runs on both Mac and PC but I guess I could check it out on my own. Would this be a good alternative for your run a “visualizer with DMXIS” tutorial? And how is their fixture profile support? Thanks again for Another informative video!

@LearnStageLighting 4 года назад

Fixture support is good. I requested one, and it was ready within a couple of days. Sure, it can be used with DMXis as well

@armandminghi9165 Год назад

I have a Chauvet an-2 and a 512s dongle. Could I output DMX via the dongle and use the AN-2 to transmit DMX to L8 via ShowXpress? Or would a loopback adapter work?

@nathinturner4215 Год назад

Hi question I have l8, emu and camsys. I got l8 vis to work with camsys how do I get it to work with emu?

@Picaxe45 3 года назад

If for exemple i have 86 fixtures on a stage, but some of the fixture are viper and aura (take a lot of DMX channel) do i have to buy the L8 CE2 ? or a better one ? (cause for the moment i stuck with the GrandMA 3D visualiser but i want something more beautiful)

@LearnStageLighting 3 года назад

I believe you do need CE2 for that as long as you can keep it within (4) DMX universes (which should be doable)

@Picaxe45 3 года назад

@@LearnStageLighting i got a problem .. can't connect my GrandMA 2 onPC console to the visualizer cause i need the 1500€ media version (i think) ... but second problem, i buy my L8 CE2 license before knowing i nned the media one :/

@rickyvizconde6860 3 года назад

hi david,thanks for this..just wanna ask how this L8 works with onyx?thanks a lot

@alfiekennedy 3 года назад

DJ RixX any lighting software that outputs artnet/ sacn works with it!

@adammurphy8630 4 года назад

This is such a clever visuliser :DD designs are really cool but the best for me has to be the visual effects :D did you do it yourself? Where did you get the design from??? :))

@LearnStageLighting 4 года назад

It's roughly designed off the demo file that comes with Onyx, but it's a pretty generic live music rig.

@grecoermejo95 8 месяцев назад

Does it work with Vista too?

@thesashboyno1 2 года назад

Thank you for this vid, i purchased it. It looks a little crazy, but its a nice Programm. Does anyone know if the enttec usb pro works with l8 as dmx in?

@LearnStageLighting 2 года назад

It looks like it probably does work, but I'm not 100% sure

@garyroot3995 3 года назад

If you use it as a console, how do you output the dmx?

@LearnStageLighting 3 года назад

Via Art-net or sACN nodes

@kolotMusic 2 года назад

can it work on a Mac?

@eddiepersa1752 4 года назад

thank you david. I am a newby. Can you recommend some free soft to Stage design ? thanks a lot !!!

@LearnStageLighting 4 года назад

Here are some options: www.learnstagelighting.com/how-do-i-create-my-first-light-plot/

@eddiepersa1752 4 года назад

@@LearnStageLighting Thanks for your answer ! But I meant a soft that lets you design the 3d Stage, musicians and everything else on stage so you can import that 3d model into the L8 CE so you see the complete scene. I hope I made myself clear now. Thanks again!!!

@Picaxe45 3 года назад

@nickipsen9328 4 года назад

Just a heads up. You can spread the lights on as many universes you want, till you have used up as many fixtures that is allotted. The 2 universes are for the lighting control output within this software to use as a controller.

@Picaxe45 3 года назад

you mean, if i use GrandMA 2 on L8 i can add any number of fixture on the soft or i still stuck with the number of universes ?

@Cody Nico thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

@cassiusonyx6858 2 года назад

@Cody Nico It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much, you really help me out!

@brandonporras8377 3 года назад

Hello, can you explain to me how to connect it to the onyx?

@LearnStageLighting 3 года назад

If it's on the same PC, install the "Microsoft Loopback Adapter" and send Art-Net or sACN to L8 via that. The details of the L8 side are in their manual, but I also do have videos and support available for it inside of Learn Stage Lighting Labs: www.learnstagelighting.com/labs

@willcox9365 3 года назад

Hi, I'm wondering, is there a possibility to download and use without a license, because my goal is to use this, or some other program for fun, without paying anything, is it possible and how?

@GKB.official 3 года назад

Does this have midi control capability?

@LearnStageLighting 3 года назад

I don't think so

@noidontknow5540 4 года назад

How to buy like what will it say after you buy it

@LearnStageLighting 4 года назад

Go to their website, link is in the video description :)

@Vuquan121 4 года назад

This is the license version ?? CE or CE2

@LearnStageLighting 4 года назад

This is CE, but CE2 is the same, just more outputs enabled.

@graffitiwinds1814 3 года назад

hey bro. how to download L8

@LearnStageLighting 3 года назад

l8.ltd is the download page

@Teslandicap 9 месяцев назад

Cannot understand how L8 could be a good software ... no demo, fixture creator is only in a 400$ version (and it's hidden on website, named "profile creator" to add confusion) and just disconnecting a hard disk disable licence that can only be reset by an email ! No doubt it could be an interesting software but it's a business model and way of managing that is underaged, even Steinberg is best now ... and I think that you could give this kind of information because it's part of software quality.

@masonroberts1133 Год назад

For anyone who is considering purchasing this product please be aware, I had to learn this lesson the hard way. If you buy a CE license and 2 years down the road your HD crashes like mine YOU ARE FU¢KED! you cannot reinstall the software because the license key you previously paid for will show as already activated. If you try to reach out to the company for support they will simply reply and tell you support ended a year from the purchase date and you will need to buy a new license. Yes Capture Polar costs more but if you need to keep buying a license to use a utility you have already paid for there isn't much of a savings.
