the transition between the 3d one and the real one is sooo cool :D

[@LRCVWDude]

Damn Bri, that's a nice setup. I think i've finally found my DMX setup that actually makes things easy to use. Looking forward to more if you're doing them

[@tijayification]

Once again, very cool! Because of you, this product is next on my list to purchase!

[@briansredd]

It's probably important to keep in mind that this isn't the most advanced lighting program on the market. It is, however a nice DMX software controller for thoes of us who need something that's easy to use and gets the job done. From what I understand from people who know this program better than I, there are ways around most of the things you mention.

[@BuhdFrankDaTank93]

Thank you soo much !.. I'm going to buy this to use my moving head led lights with it !

[@brettland]

very good vid Bri I agree pretty cool I might have to remove the sink and cooker out of my kitchen to get a light rig in!!! :)

[@Ronnin036]

Hi Brian, i found this video a few weeks ago and I know your busy guy but can you make pt 3. thank you. ps. thanx for all the information you and ellaskins provide.

[@portnoyfan521]

Yes, any LED, intelligent, or fixture with DMX can be hooked up. By the way, if you do not see your fixture within the fixture library in the system, go to the ADJ sight and download the preset for your exact fixture.

[@8DTheDude8P]

To abujamin - You can run both VDJ and MyDMX on one laptop, but whether you get any problems is down to the capability of your laptop. If you have a dual core machine of 2 GHz or above then you should be OK. Let it be noted, however, that I recommend your lighting and sound always be run on separate machines. I hope this helps.

[@briansredd]

Yeah that's what I did. I think what I'm going to do is set up a few different shows according to BPM. You can just switch them on the fly.

[@briansredd]

You can mix-match whatever brands you wish in a DMX chain. All you have to do is make sure everything is assigned correctly on both the lights and the DMX controller.

[@syntse]

Looked nice and simple to use too. Good video. Now just create scenarios to match different setups you may use and also different genres you play :)

[@briansredd]

In the old days, we use to see a lot of touch screens in clubs to do lighting. Not sure what people are using now. I would think just about any modern PC with a USB out would work just fine.

[@c0nn0lly07]

pretty cool bri!!!!

[@briansredd]

I think so. You should ask Jingles. His youtube page is in the discription.

[@briansredd]

Not sure how much help I can be to you. I'm just learning this software as it is

[@briansredd]

Yeah, I did some videos on that recently. Have a look! I think I called them LED without DMX.

[@briansredd]

I'll try to do more my DMX tutorials in the future

[@mexikanman]

that's F###ing awesome! Three lights and all that action. Ok...so you had the 8-scene show going. Can you save that as a group and have it play for 2-2 1/2 minutes and then go to another group for xxx minutes and so on...?

[@DjRicDerr]

Thanks For Helping Me get started with MyDMX Program I love that People like you take the time to make these video. I think I will be make some soon an all my Dj equipment. Thanks Again From Dj Ric-Derr "C" PS How do you get the shows to go with the beat of the Music?

[@briansredd]

This is going to depend on what par cans you are using, how you are using the par cans, and what other lighting you have to go with it

[@jcw3032]

Hey very helpful videos :) Quick question; if you make a scene/light show beforehand, how would you get the lights and the music in sync? Presuming its a backing track. I've no clue how you would get live music in sync.

[@DogOfPanic]

I see you can build scenes with this program. Is there any way you can have them react to sound, using a built in mic on your laptop. I'm in a band and we have lights, but no one to run them. I'd like to make scenes and then have them react to the sound of the bass drum.

[@DavidBcc]

Brian, you know it's fairly easy to use a program that records your screen? Maybe you should try it out some time.

[@ThePLL1]

You can create chases in the scenes BTW Great vid :)

[@MaxBaun0]

man, i gotta pick up this. Martin Light Jockey is similar to this as well.

[@yvesmdjgryphon]

that's really cool

[@onelastlookband]

I may sound like an idiot for asking but how do you add music to the scenes?

[@MrEasye2504]

I noticed that a lot of My DMX users have a black background but mine is white. Do I have the right version of My DMX? I am using a PC.

[@briansredd]

I must be crazy because I don't have much time on my hands. It's as simple as DMX IN and DMX OUT of your light fixtures. I can do a video on that if you wish

[@heysuesdadon]

Can you export the 3d show as an avi or mp4 clip? That'll be cool if you can design a show and email it to your client before their event. Thx...really enjoy your vids.

[@martin0mac2000]

Hey Brian a company has put ur vid on thier website promoteing the My DMX software :D

[@bigcity1200]

Good video

[@Boomdoggles]

this is using the American DJ myDMX software that comes with a USB to DMX adapter/dongle

[@briansredd]

As I learn more about the program, I can do more tutes on it

[@albertoavila9394]

how do u import objects ..like truss sections to the 3d visualizer ???

[@ellaskins]

have you seen the home page on the dj tutor site??

[@ayotteted]

Can this software create a click track or how can you sync it to a music track for a live band show

[@ozskipper]

Oh Brian, I didnt mean to come off a bit Gruff there. Not your fault the software isnt that good. Keep up the good work buddy. Thanks :) OZ

[@djzrule]

I'm not sure off hand as I use Chauvet Show Express now but it has to do with fixture groups.

[@directsound]

Can you do transparent cues like I saw in a LJ video? Mike directsound

[@hejenoge]

I realy must say this programm is almost the same as Daslight virtual controller 2!!!

[@briansredd]

You don't need a dedicated PC for this. If you are aleady using a laptop for a music application, you should have no trouble running them together (unless you have a crap laptop)

[@cmbmusicproductions1870]

Hi Brian - good video. How did you set the tempo of the show to the song you were playing? From my understanding you can only set it with the fade and wait times in the editor screen, and not on the fly with a master tempo fader. Is that how you did it? Thanks!!

[@RockTheHouse4]

thats very awesome. price tag makes me frown though.

[@portnoyfan521]

go into 3d visualizer, and then go into construction mode with ( with a little yellow hard hat) and choose what you need.

[@briansredd]

You do, however need a PC of some kind to use this. It does not work in stand-alone. How would you control anything otherwise?

[@ProDiscoDJ]

Hello Brian, do you know where i might get tutorials for MyDMX 2.0..? BTW your videos are great. Thanks...

[@jccalmet]

Brian, can you provide a step by step on how to create a light stand? when i open my program i get a "club stand" with a bunch of metal all over the place, i guess this is the demo mode...can you show me how to get rid off that one and create a regular light stand, i have the Odyssey LTMTS3 Mobile Lighting Truss System(OLTMTS3XX)thanks

[@briansredd]

I'm not sure about all the ins and outs of this program. We'll see if we can find out for you.

[@jdlarsonmusic]

I'm running ADJ MyDMX 2.0 May 5, 2014 ver. but don't have the 3D visualizer. Is this not supported or available anymore?

[@apantsos]

How to add import music to mydmx to synchronise my lights?

[@VJGREEK]

Brian, I have the Software installed, I have the 3d Visualizer open. How do I import the lights into it? it just shows me a blank screen I dont have any of those Icons.. the only Icons I have are New, Open, Save, Change View, Always on top, and the about screen

[@briansredd]

It's kind of a theme this week. HA!

[@tomlaur104]

Hey Brian...just wondering...can you use this program to control (2) QSPOT260 moving head fixtures for spotlight dances? I know there is a way to do it using the OBEY controller w/joystick? Thanks

[@portnoyfan521]

Unfortunately I am pretty sure this program does not have that feature. There are tons of other's that do have that feature if you want to do that sort of thing.

[@gazmozza]

Thats awsome but will it still go sound to light with programm in mind? if you get what i mean

[@videomaker2000]

I know just the "concept" of DMX. Can this program synchronize the lights to different songs? If yes, how is this done? Can a light show be "saved" and then emailed to another MyDMX user? I have a fantasy about a DJ software program that I can program a light show and save it with the MP3 file, and when I play that song, the light show is the same each time. And maybe we can exchange shows to help each other out? Am I being realistic? Thanks!

[@ProudJake]

Cool video but every one posts about how to control the lights nobody posts about how to set up the scene in the 3D vidualizer

[@SoundsMobileDisco]

Hello. Can you make changes "on the fly". Just say I wanted all my lights to go into "strobe mode" when I was playing a certain song can you do that with this? Thanks

[@briansredd]

Not sure. You should check with your ADJ dealer

[@BobbyPumphrey]

i have a question if your lights dont have dip switches but are digital do you have to program to the right settings or does the program do it for you and also does it tell you what to set them like the dip switches in the first video

[@richardrichard373]

do you have a link to download the version you had there or could you tell me how to do it on the mydmx2.0 please

[@portnoyfan521]

no you cant do it while on the fly, if you wanted All strobe, yo would just have to make a scene, and then either click it on, or have a key short cut like "s"

[@Kinglevel]

how to move multiple moving heads with mydmx? would be great to do...

[@portnoyfan521]

I would love for this to have a tap to tempo feature, but it does not.

[@djzrule]

yes

[@portnoyfan521]

I suggest using a different computer for this, or if you have a lot of RAM you should be fine.

[@djfrankis]

how did you make it do that. liike you know, make the light show.

[@abujamin]

Does anyone know if I can run this software on the same laptop that I use to run VDJ? Would there be any problems during a show if the two programs run simultaneously on the one laptop? Many thanks

[@directing101]

how do you get the visualiser to play because i cant get it to play for me

[@greghuguley6854]

Will it work with 6 high end 575 spots and 2 martin mac 600 wash, and 8 color pallets?

[@ryantk520]

hey brian...how do u get to record your computer screen so clearly?

[@faymx77]

@ayotteted: is not possible to import an audio file to sync your scenes with a song

[@portnoyfan521]

I use this program, all PC controlled not sound to light, or sound active.

[@briansredd]

my DMX

[@geko7844]

how do you make scenes change by themselves? i cant figure it out

[@giostefaneli]

how can i conect pc with lights? do i have to buy a console or jus to conect with usb or somethig like that!

[@daydreamer135135]

Cheers!!! But how did you create the truss?

[@briansredd]

High Life by Daft Punk

[@mfs10131]

[@AuECS]

[@bangdaho]

How do you display multiple shows?

[@briansredd]

What moving heads do you have?

[@djpi0]

HOW much would that device cost bri ?

[@djzrule]

unless you have a MIDI controller assigned to change the scenes, you can't.
