Hi everyone,
I run a small DJ entertainment company and recently we have upgraded our lights offering. We currently have 3 American DJ DMX Mystic LEDS and 1 American DJ Hyper Gem. We normally setup up our lights to sound active mode. We just got a laptop and would now like to control the lights via software using the DMX function. Based on what I am finding on the web and this website, the Enttec USB-DMX Pro (~150) and Chamsys MagicQ software or some other free software is the most affordable routes to go.
I was wondering how exactly the lights would now run. My partner was telling me that all the lights would color sync for the most part and that we would run certain programs with the lights and they would all follow that program. Is the above assumption correct? I am left wondering what do we do once the music changes speeds. Do I have to tell the program to run a new set of patterns etc to slow or speed them up? I guess since I have not seen DMX controlling before I am not 100% what to expect. Sound active mode it was plug and play.
Does anyone have any advice and or additional posts they can share on the subject?
thanks in advance!
