So, I bought tha Airstream and I have watched this video a dozen times and I have to just say thank you, this has helped me so much! Great channel and content. Even though we can't get away with EDM over the pond, everything you post is massively useful. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
This is incredibly useful. I am helping a guy with his DJ/wedding stuff for the next few gigs, then he is giving me all his gear as payment. He is retiring and I am coming out of retirement. He has 2 track lights and 4 pars and doesn't know how to program the controller. I fumbled for a bit trying to figure it out at the last gig, but this video showed me the mistakes I made and why I couldn't trigger the scenes that I programmed. I would have liked to see how to program steps, for song specific programs, but I think I will be able to figure it out. 8 years ago when I stopped, It was mostly because technology wasn't affordable for what I wanted to do with my shows. Now it is, and I can create the experience for my customers that I have been dreaming of. I am primarily a KJ, and I have been wanting to create a full stage experience ever since I started 20 years ago. Now I can.
Watching your review video on this made me buy one of these and then watching this has been really helpful can’t wait to get back on my lights and make sure cool effects
This was helpful I'm an amazing DJ but when it comes to lighting/DMX I'm clueless and I was able to program my ADJ Airstream DMX Bridge/Tablet within minutes because of this bog,Thank you !!! I feel like I owe you lunch!!! Lol
BAR, Just want to let you know I appreciate the knowledge you dropped in this video. It was very informative. Especially because I’ve been contemplating buying the ADJ Airstream. Now that I’ve seen the ease of use is ridiculously simple, it made my decision that much easier. Thanx Bro Respect, D. J. P.hadin’ D.em Q.wik
Another awesome video as always DJ Barr, especially on a complicated subject (at least for us making the big leap to better light shows, etc.), and after watching multiple videos on “DMXing” and the airstream bridge, I have all lights that you have and/or used in this video, so I hooked them all up, sat down in my kitchen, and went through your video with you step by step, and yes my knowledge grew leaps and bounds (THANK YOU! MUCH APPRECIATED BRO!), but I got to the part where I created scenes of color for my up lights, and got all excited when I could gain control of my ADJ Focus Spot 2’s, recorded some scenes/effects, but when I watched your video at about the 34:48 spot and you mentioned that you could save the “effect” for your moving heads (but not the color), you turned everything off and then turned on the effect, and BAM you had color AND effect! I’ve got to be missing something, because I can save scenes, but when I turn them on, I get the effect, but I lose my colors I “thought” I saved every time! What gives? Any thoughts? Thought I was making progress, now I’m just feeling frustrated! Lol. Need to still figure some things out before I put “shows” together! Thanks again for all the info! Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Thanks! To reiterate, turn on the effect, select the fixture, add color, then save as a scene? Just want to make sure I have my thinking and understanding the process correct! Lol. Thanks again! Keep up the good work with helping those looking to refine their craft! Much appreciated!
Great video. Here's a few questions: Are there advantages to using the airstream controller over a traditional one? I mean it seems like its just a virtual controller that you controller with the ipad. Does it give you more scenes or anything that a traditional dmx controller? Personally i think i like the idea of a hands on real controller. Its also cheaper. So unless theres more control.or power id just rather by a 384 channel control. Having said that, the airstream controller has one dmx 3 pin output, can that be used at same time as the wireless dmx? Like can you have one set of lights connect via a cable and the other wireless and can both work simultaneously? Also if you dont have wirelss fixtures can you daisy chain different fixtures to.each other?. Another question, is there a way to use the music to pic scenes or to make the light use its own built in mic ? Next are there limits to how many lights or channels you can control. Thanks
I have one of those. They are hit or miss in our area trying to find a clean wifi channel so the lights don’t freeze! Shame.....when it does work it is FANTASTIC!!!
Great video. Question, how to setup sound activated mode using the focal spots 2 using the airstream app, i couldnt find what channel that was and selected number
Great video, but for future reference, incorporate a three repeat method of training for older users. Repeat the process, or video clip three times before you proceed to the next section. Keep up the good work!
They have an updated software platform for it...free download and it has more features....I switched a little over a year ago. Keep up the great work!!
Hi Barr! Does it make sense to purchase Airstream if I don't have Wifly fixtures? Since I read that one of the 2 antennas id dedicated to the WIFly. The only purpose would be a stronger wifi connection between the tablet and it. Will it happen? I used only once the MyDMX Go and I had some issues... thank you!
Nice tutorial video! Question: Can you make the 'non wireless' lights 'WireLess' with the 'Wireless DMX Receivers plugs' and program them the same way?
Great info…helped a lot. I’m now getting into all this stuff and is like hieroglyphics to me, but your breakdown is clearing it up for me. Keep up the great content & will be checking out your store 👍
Not sure if I missed it here, but there's a way to save A & B positions for movement of the moving heads correct? Like left to right movement, saved as a preset.
What’s up Barr dope content will the air stream be able to control the apelabs maxi as well? Or will I still have to use the apelabs remote separately. I have both I noticed u have those as well wanted to know if maybe you tried that at all.
Very informative. I’ve been talking about purchasing the Air Stream. Another DJ company in my area have offered to let me try theirs out on my lights. With the help of your video, who needs a manual. Thanks for the help.
would you happen to know how I can control my Chauvet quad 4s with the mydmx go. would I go out of my DMX go into a flare con air? I Can control my spot 360s with wireless dongle’s but not my up lights.🙋
Can you use a donner wireless transmitter plugged into the DMX Bridge, a receiver into a par uplight set to master, the rest of the uplights set to slave, and control them all (to do the same thing) through the master?
Great video again DJ BARR TY for sharing .. Another stupid question....I notice the most DJ s that work with this device DMX Bridge, use iPads... does it matter between iPad or cheap walmart tablet??? Thanks again. Saludos desde El Paso TX brotha. Now following you on Instagram. 🤓
Hey Barr, Great Video. Question: Do you have to set up all the lights at once when programing colors? I noticed when I set up my moving heads then I purchased uplights, when I tried to save the colors to the buttons I made for the moving heads, it wiped out the moving heads setup. it seems like the overwrite button clears the previous settings. Thanks a lot.
Do you know if the Light Rider Interface is compatible with lasers ? I see that it's able to find the unit, but I can only get it to work via the fixtures menu, and by adjusting the faders. As soon as I use the live function, the laser shuts itself off. Any tips ?
Hi Barr and any other people! I have a question, I use 2 moving heads beam & 2 moving heads wash. I want to program wash heads to work separately. Is it possible?
Hey Barr great vid! I know that using the ADJ Bridge you can use a lot of other name brand lights as well. Can Ape Labs also be DMX’d to the Bridge as well? I have the Cans and read that Ape Labs has its own DMX receiver like the ADJ Bridge. But I have both so I was wondering if I can DMX the Ape Lab Cans to the ADJ Bridge as well. Thanks Barr keep the vids comin bro!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Hey Barr!! Why do you put both the dimmer and the strobe all the way up to turn the light on? Instead of just the dimmer? (I hope that question makes sense lol)
Hi DJ Barr, I have some "Smartdj S6" from "Both Lighting". The User Manual only lists Specs. They Work fine with the remote, but I can not get it working with my ADJ Airstream DMX. When the Airstream is connected to different figures, and the S6 is turned on, it disconnects the Airstream. Any ideas? I have tried adding the S6 using the ADJ Airstream using a Dmx cable since the dinner Dmx can't fit in the dmx port of the S6 due to its design. The Airstream is just not working with it. Will appreciate any help.
OMG this was along time awaiting, awesome stuff. Can you do a long second video on, Final Cut Pro Video Edit with details on different options., please thank you, keep putting out this great content brother.
************Absolutely horrible products none of The steps was mentioned in the video was affective when you’re trained by the company what to do behind the scene Of course you would have perfect demonstration. If you don’t believe me by the product and experience the trouble on your own.
I'm a beginner with DMX but this vid tutorial made my DMX experience much easier ! Ive manage to make a few scenes already . Thank you !
This is work, people only see they glory of an event, but the work and preparation that happens behind the scenes can be a headache. Awesome tutorial.
Was
This is an awesome tutorial I'm going to watch this again when I get my Airstream DMX controller

Thank you DJ Barr for making this video. This video answered all my questions i had.
Def been waiting for this video can't wait to watch the full video. Appreciate ya bro!
Very informative. Great video to this day. This only makes me want to step up and change the energy.
Great video Thanks 🙏
This was helpful I'm an amazing DJ but when it comes to lighting/DMX I'm clueless and I was able to program my ADJ Airstream DMX Bridge/Tablet within minutes because of this bog,Thank you !!! I feel like I owe you lunch!!! Lol
Dude! I have watched a ton of vids on programming lights. Thanks for making it understandable!!! You rock!!!
BAR,
Just want to let you know I appreciate the knowledge you dropped in this video. It was very informative. Especially because I’ve been contemplating buying the ADJ Airstream. Now that I’ve seen the ease of use is ridiculously simple, it made my decision that much easier. Thanx Bro
Respect,
D. J. P.hadin’ D.em Q.wik
Bro I just went out and bought the Airstream and these exact moving head lights. Great instructional video. Thank you.
Super Helpful Man!! Thank you for this video!!!
Another awesome video as always DJ Barr, especially on a complicated subject (at least for us making the big leap to better light shows, etc.), and after watching multiple videos on “DMXing” and the airstream bridge, I have all lights that you have and/or used in this video, so I hooked them all up, sat down in my kitchen, and went through your video with you step by step, and yes my knowledge grew leaps and bounds (THANK YOU!

You must have the effect on and color in then save it as a scene. A scene can trigger effects as well as colors.
Thanks! To reiterate, turn on the effect, select the fixture, add color, then save as a scene? Just want to make sure I have my thinking and understanding the process correct! Lol. Thanks again! Keep up the good work with helping those looking to refine their craft! Much appreciated!

Finally!!! Thanks Barr. Made my job easier. Going to set up all my DJ lights using these settings. Happy Holidays.
Thank you so much!! Very informative. You are the man 💪🔥💯 Subscribed ✔️
AWESOME VIDEO! Thank you.
Estaría muy interesado en saber más de este producto, ojalá pueda hacer esta review en español algún día, por favor . Muchas gracias dj Barr!!
Excellent Block of Instructions DJ! Keep doing whatcha doing!💯✊🏾
#djphildabeat
Thanks! Also thanks for thinking of extra details for us.
Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏼
By far one of the greatest videos I have anticipated and just thank you man.
Great video! I was just working with airstream the other day and this helps a lot with a few tips!
Thanks so much for doing this video! I learned so much about my rig. Looking forward to checking out more videos!
I have one of those. They are hit or miss in our area trying to find a clean wifi channel so the lights don’t freeze! Shame.....when it does work it is FANTASTIC!!!
Great video!
Thanks for the tips 👌
Thank you for explaining Maestro DMX.
Are your speakers HK’s 10 or 12??
Nice video! 🙌
thanks Barr for the great vid 🤜🏻
Muy bueno el video, segui asi
Great i think im gonna get this...❤🎸✔😁👍
Well done on the video! I personally use emulation made by elation
FINALLY!!! THANKS BARR
Nice bro I do this but cheap interface thanks for sharing
Great video. Question, how to setup sound activated mode using the focal spots 2 using the airstream app, i couldnt find what channel that was and selected number
Great video, but for future reference, incorporate a three repeat method of training for older users.
Repeat the process, or video clip three times before you proceed to the next section.
Keep up the good work!
They have an updated software platform for it...free download and it has more features....I switched a little over a year ago. Keep up the great work!!
Hi Barr!
Does it make sense to purchase Airstream if I don't have Wifly fixtures?
Since I read that one of the 2 antennas id dedicated to the WIFly.
The only purpose would be a stronger wifi connection between the tablet and it. Will it happen?
I used only once the MyDMX Go and I had some issues...
thank you!
Thanks Barr for this video been waiting for this video, now I know what I’m doing over the weekend haha
You finally made the video I wanted!
Nice tutorial video! Question: Can you make the 'non wireless' lights 'WireLess' with the 'Wireless DMX Receivers plugs' and program them the same way?
Yup.
Great info…helped a lot. I’m now getting into all this stuff and is like hieroglyphics to me, but your breakdown is clearing it up for me. Keep up the great content & will be checking out your store 👍
Thank you for answering my questions great video
Este es el video que queria que hicieras, gracias.
Well 👍done
Not sure if I missed it here, but there's a way to save A & B positions for movement of the moving heads correct? Like left to right movement, saved as a preset.
There is. Figured it out
Thanks bro!
What’s up Barr dope content will the air stream be able to control the apelabs maxi as well? Or will I still have to use the apelabs remote separately. I have both I noticed u have those as well wanted to know if maybe you tried that at all.
Info would this work on the smaller gobos and or spots.. Thank you
Very informative. I’ve been talking about purchasing the Air Stream. Another DJ company in my area have offered to let me try theirs out on my lights. With the help of your video, who needs a manual. Thanks for the help.
Te felicito bro un super video mas q haces so gracias mucha informacion para aprender gracias y bendiciones
Is it possible to program chases of fixtures through the flash effect?
Bro I really enjoyed this video helped me out a lot thx for the tips and all I appreciate it
Barr, have you connected this to the apelabs maxis? Brilliant tutorial!
Awesome video but any way you could explain how to do the offset? Pleaseee!
Keep up the grind bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can you use this hardware/software to initiate the lights going to the music either through a mic or bpm tap feature?
Thanks for this Barr! Happy Holidays to you Bro
would you happen to know how I can control my Chauvet quad 4s with the mydmx go. would I go out of my DMX go into a flare con air? I Can control my spot 360s with wireless dongle’s but not my up lights.🙋
Can you use a donner wireless transmitter plugged into the DMX Bridge, a receiver into a par uplight set to master, the rest of the uplights set to slave, and control them all (to do the same thing) through the master?
I wonder too
Great video again DJ BARR TY for sharing .. Another stupid question....I notice the most DJ s that work with this device DMX Bridge, use iPads... does it matter between iPad or cheap walmart tablet??? Thanks again. Saludos desde El Paso TX brotha. Now following you on Instagram. 🤓
Hey Barr, Great Video. Question: Do you have to set up all the lights at once when programing colors? I noticed when I set up my moving heads then I purchased uplights, when I tried to save the colors to the buttons I made for the moving heads, it wiped out the moving heads setup. it seems like the overwrite button clears the previous settings. Thanks a lot.
Can I use a airstream with some called “cheaper” moving heads??
Ok so if I have 4x Chauvet vertical fog machines, I can control them all wirelessly with this?
are there any updates on the software / hardware? looking into getting a ipad pro with the M2 chip for a dmx controller
Do you know if the Light Rider Interface is compatible with lasers ?
I see that it's able to find the unit, but I can only get it to work via the fixtures menu, and by adjusting the faders.
As soon as I use the live function, the laser shuts itself off.
Any tips ?
Does this work with lasers as well, or only spotlights?
Hi Barr and any other people! I have a question, I use 2 moving heads beam & 2 moving heads wash.
I want to program wash heads to work separately. Is it possible?
Hello Barr....so I saw your vid when you bought the myDMX 3.0....are you abandoning the airstream?
Do you need a DMX cable coming out of the light ? And where would the DMX go to?
Good tutorial thanks.
about time
Can we operate our cold sparkles from this ???
you are my idol
Hey Barr great vid! I know that using the ADJ Bridge you can use a lot of other name brand lights as well. Can Ape Labs also be DMX’d to the Bridge as well? I have the Cans and read that Ape Labs has its own DMX receiver like the ADJ Bridge. But I have both so I was wondering if I can DMX the Ape Lab Cans to the ADJ Bridge as well. Thanks Barr keep the vids comin bro!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Is this used with my dmx3? can i use it with show mode ?
Set to the same address as well on both lights
Hey Barr!! Why do you put both the dimmer and the strobe all the way up to turn the light on? Instead of just the dimmer? (I hope that question makes sense lol)
Some lights you can leave the shutter off, but most you have to bring it up to get light.
Great video
Is it possible to make the air stream dmx cycle through scenes/programs via sound.... ?
What if I have a bunch of chinese fixtures with wi fi? Will it work without a cable? Or is it strictly wi fly and e fly limited?
Quick question if I have some lights that don't have wifly do I need to purchases some wireless receivers and what brand would recommend
You can use donner dmx connections or just dmx cables.
I use MyDMXgo but I see it’s pretty much the same principle. Thank you DJ Barr
trying to set up my airstreaM with this
I never get board of this with dj Barr
Hi DJ Barr, I have some "Smartdj S6" from "Both Lighting". The User Manual only lists Specs.
They Work fine with the remote, but I can not get it working with my ADJ Airstream DMX. When the Airstream is connected to different figures, and the S6 is turned on, it disconnects the Airstream. Any ideas? I have tried adding the S6 using the ADJ Airstream using a Dmx cable since the dinner Dmx can't fit in the dmx port of the S6 due to its design. The Airstream is just not working with it. Will appreciate any help.
Barr, i'm looking to get into dmx using these items, but the thing i'm struggling with is the iPad, does it matter what iPad to buy?
Look on the air stream software website for ipad/ios compatibility.
OMG this was along time awaiting, awesome stuff. Can you do a long second video on, Final Cut Pro Video Edit with details on different options., please thank you, keep putting out this great content brother.
hey bro i have this but im having drop out issues
Is there a way to add a innerface to have the beat to controle lighting?. . .live band senerio. . .like a flash to beat?.. .
************Absolutely horrible products none of The steps was mentioned in the video was affective when you’re trained by the company what to do behind the scene
Of course you would have perfect demonstration. If you don’t believe me by the product and experience the trouble on your own.
Se pueden hacer estos mismos efectos con el programa My dmx go
