Is SoundSwitch Any Good For Band Lighting? I Decided to Try it Out - Gig Log #5

SoundSwitch is awesome for DJ DMX lighting, but how will it do for lighting a live band? I created a show from scratch and I go over some high-level lighting ideas, the fixtures I use, how I set it all up in SoundSwitch, a gig log, and my final thoughts.

Really love this type of video content. As a beginning lighting engineer/designer, it's awesome to see you go in depth on the stuff you use

[@DJDarylBennett]

Thanks for watching and I'm glad it was helpful

[@DIE-DEEJAYWG]

WOW!!! Hands Up Daryl. Great Job! Greetings from Germany.

[@DJDarylBennett]

Thank you!

[@Ziggy_v2]

The lighting show was do dope 👌

[@DJDarylBennett]

Thanks!

[@TheDjelements]

Amazing work! The well sticks look sooooooo good! Wow you made me wanna buy some lol

[@DJDarylBennett]

Thank you! 😁

[@LikeDjSparky]

Great Show Budy!!! Maybe you cand do a video about how you connect everything, all the best Daryl.

[@djrickysmith]

Yoooooo ... Thank you for posting this video of the Controller.. I've only seen it being used with DJ Software and was looking for a controller to use with Live bands for small venues.. I have a computer driven controller but it's too much for small venues.. You just sold me on this device.. The band sounded like a lot of fun with those short pieces you showed.. Even dug the Gwen Stefani .. just a girl in that.. anyways.. Thank you so much for this review

[@DJDarylBennett]

Thanks for watching! There's definitely better controllers for big band setups, but this is perfect for smaller mobile gigs and if you DJ too

[@mrtw1sterr]

Ayyyyyy congrats on 1,000 subs🎉

[@DJDarylBennett]

Thank you! :D

[@BretGashDJBFG]

Lights looked great Daryl

[@DJDarylBennett]

Thank you!

[@Sammy880926]

Good job !!

[@DJDarylBennett]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mariomota4071]

I would like to playback digital songs on my pc but would like to integrate dmx control to control lighting, what software is better and easier to do this with Soundswith or Ableton?

[@georgehaywood6609]

That's great, IF you have someone to run soundswitch!!! BUT, what if you don't have someone and You Have to Run it yourself from the Stage While Performing?????

[@DJDarylBennett]

I tried to show in the video that it can run itself without manual input, but it has the flexibility to allow for manual input if you like that

[@drewdelro98]

This is great, just subscribed and am very interested in getting the sound switch controller and software. However, I'm reading about Intel graphics cards limitations..? Have there been any workarounds to this or what would you suggest otherwise? Thanks!

[@DJDarylBennett]

Thanks for watching and subscribing! I appreciated it! You could always try a different computer. I've used computer with integrated graphics cards and it's worked well

[@jasonlajuene2036]

could you share the programing ? like a download form of that show ? Not sure if even possible but have to ask.

[@DJDarylBennett]

Yes that's possible, I've sold some of my light shows and I might willing to sell this one too

[@pablomiami]

great job. really digging your SS videos... +Sub

[@DJDarylBennett]

Thanks for the sub!

[@_SaintDominik]

amazing setup, quick question. How do you mount the well stx or any other bar type light at an angle on trusses?

[@DJDarylBennett]

Thank you! With these clamps amzn.to/441zgEA

[@_SaintDominik]

@@DJDarylBennett I appreciate the reply!

[@eross21]

can i map those buttons seen on screen at 9:01 to any midi controller? thanks

[@DJDarylBennett]

Yes

[@eross21]

so quick question. how do you set up the intensity chases seen at 9:01. do i do that from the main soundswitch timeline? and how?

[@DJDarylBennett]

You can right click any Autoloop or static scene, and then map it to a midi controller. Or if you buy the control one, then you can just use that

[@eross21]

@@DJDarylBennett so autoloop ? is that a premade thing? so if I create an automation on the timeline, with light colors and dimming and movements, if I highlight that section and right click, how do i save it to a pad?

[@StereoAnthony]

What lights do you have on the t bars at front left and right of the stage? I dont seem them listed, or mentioned, unless I missed them?

[@DJDarylBennett]

These are generic Chinese uplights from eBay. I now recommend both uplighting

[@StereoAnthony]

@@DJDarylBennett Ok good to know. Thanks for the response. And those uplights are the Chauvet 3x3s?

[@DJDarylBennett]

@@StereoAnthony they are the 6x18 generic uplights, my company uses these: djnowlighting.com/products/4pcs-carton-618w-par-can-battery-wireless-dmx-wifi-remote-led-wedding-uplight?DIST=TkNA

[@StereoAnthony]

@@DJDarylBennett great thank you!

[@DJSolstice]

Dope show. Terrible rendition of Tennessee Whiskey. Youve spent waaaay too much time with SoundSwitch. It’s such a garbage program

[@soentertainmentdjs2316]

Yeah I agree with Solstice. I used it but then switched to Daslight 4
