Would you mind sharing a picture of your project file? I just started using SoundSwitch and I'm making the simplest of shows but it looks super crazy. I can only imagine how your project file looks with this intricate show!
Hey sorry I didn’t see this. I don’t have any pictures from those projects that show that much, but to be honest it doesn’t look like that much. The time consuming part is programming the positions so that the movement from one position to another looks good for the part of the song you are programming that movement. And some kind of true wizard would know how to program positions where all movements from any position to any other achieved the effect that they wanted and could be used without having to watch. Using a visualizer helps with this immensely. Another way you can achieve this is if you have a truss and all of your lights are always positioned relative to each other. The easiest way to do this is with a circular truss with half your lights pointing in and the other half pointing out. Then you get these amazing fractal type patterns without doing much work at all.
Awesome job. The only criticism I can say is that if I were you I would limit the range of the moving heads so they could not move back as typically the DJ is back there and it sucks to get his with the lights. But that is honestly a point of preference. It’s a beautiful show man.
Barrymore Scott Hey! Thanks! I am actually the DJ, so I DEFINITELY know what you mean. I did a show a couple months ago, where they had 4 Chauvet Swarm FX and all of them were pointed at the stage... I told them I don’t want lasers in my eyes... thank you very much... When I set up at a venue, I redo all of the positions so that they don’t hit me in the face, although with that much movement, you’re probably right that they would if I put them on the table like this. I’m redoing my arrangement to put all the movers overhead and behind me to avoid that issue and others. Thanks again!
Leider spreche ich kein Deutsch It’s a Generic DMX 4mW RGB laser from eBay. www.ebay.com/itm/DMX-400mW-RGB-Laser-Line-Beam-Scan-Light-Xmas-DM-RGB400-Disco-Party-Stage-Light-/223507019279?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 Thanks!
Hey man I am trying to write a script using sound switch but I can’t figure out how to program the laser through dmx ! Could you give me a tip ? Your show rocksss ! Thank s
@@alexvanderkooy Hey sorry, Basically you take a really long time. You program the X&Y as if it was a moving head and set positions just for the laser. Then you add attribute cues for all of the colors and patterns and stuff. If you are serious about using lasers then the best thing to do is to purchase pangolin and use that for the lasers and use soundswitch to control pangolin. The same could be honestly said about using SoundSwitch to control moving heads using MA3 on PC though. Soundswitch has the sync perfectly, but for usability it's not quite as good as the more professional Lighting software.
