Hi
I have always been interested in all things involved in a theatre/concert and have always tried to increase my knowledge of such. This question is purely for knowledge gain.
I was recently at a dubstep concert that had a fairly basic rig of par cans and movers. I took a look at the control setup and it appeared that they had a console, with dmx outs. They also had two midi control surfaces and a laptop, along with several small boxes that I could not see clearly. They managed to sync the change of different light parameters to the beat of the songs.
I would think that they would be running some kind of DJ software on the laptop, which was sampling the BPM of the current song, and outputing that data somehow through midi.
Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
