- UPDATE: While reviewing this video, please keep in mind that when this video was recorded/released it was at the very beginning of Maestro DMX sending out these boxes. I was a Kickstarter supporter of this product and I wanted to showcase the AI platform that is used to make it all work. If you are looking for instructional videos or more current videos, check out Maestro's page for more content.
Maestro DMX is an A.I. generator that takes your DJ music and syncs it up to your light show. Check out my video on the brand new release of this technology. I will give you first access to the behind the scenes of how it works and what you could expect if you purchased one.

Mine is with me on Monday. I've used Soundswitch since it came out and love it.
Hoping this fills in the gaps for me when I'm feeling lazy. Not plug n play ..... But looks at little easier to get into than SS is.🤔
Same. I should have purchased SS originally but didn’t have the cash. If this works well I’ll drop SS but might just buy the black Friday deal and keep SS. We’ll see next week when mine comes.
From the looks, I can see the promoting of “plug and play” but I do like that you can do more customization to the lights and show. I would say easier than SS just with my fiddling around with it, without Maestro’s videos on how to’s
not one sec of working footage what a waste of time
That's what I was waiting for...a little demo, perhaps. No worries, I just got a ship notice - will test next week!
He just made sure I'm not purchasing this one. Talking about nothing.
@@DJQUAD1000 dont say that just cause he didnt do any display of the unit . it works i havent got mine yet still shipping over here but i have seen lots of working demos now of the unit
Working footage can be seen from maestro themselves. They didn’t show the back end side of how to patch and customize your light show. That was the real question for many kickstarter backers and others who purchased this after Maestros marketing campaign. Lights will run their cues, it’s the setup and execution part that people don’t take in consideration when buying a product. It’s not just a plug and play unit. Thanks for watching
Thank you for saving me 10 minutes!
Mine’s coming next week. Can’t wait.
What was your wait time? Did you preorder?
Did yours finally come in? What are your thoughts???
Excellent unboxing/first thoughts review!
Glad you liked it!
It seems like you would still need do some fiddling with parameters if you want to change the look/colour scheme between songs. I currently use a LightShark LS-1 and this has the fantastic "executors" pages which I fill up with different looks for live music. It seems that Maestro could do with something similar to allow quick changes.
I agree with you. Still some fiddling around to do. That’s why I made this video in the first shipments that maestro dmx sent out (I was a kickstarter backer) and wanted people to know that it’s not all plug in play. There are still inputs and settings you still need to achieve
What is the current wait time for product, do you know? Also dont worry about the haters man, good video that was very informative about what REALLY is going on behind the lights.
I unfortunately don’t. I was a kickstarter backer and that was like last year or maybe even two years ago now. But I know that was when they were developing and producing the product. I’m sure it’s probably a couple weeks to order to then get in hands
Hi, How close could it be to the outcome similar to Transmission festival?
VERY far away from that
Not close at all
What do you need to do as far as the dmx fixture setup? Anything special or just a certain channel? Can you chain 10 par lights together and plug dmx cable in and break them up into primary and secondary?
You can. Best to address each par light and input that into the program so that you have a better looking light show
hmmm... wish to have seen more detail how to input or add fixtures and create a few scenes or programs, but at least we can get t see how the layout of windows are set up. not bad, I like how they set buttons for fog, strobe, blind. but as I say I would love to see a more in deep how to set up 4 or 8 fixtures and have the AI run them to the beat of a populat song...
A great channel is stage lighting, David does a good job showing how it all works or the Maestro DMX channel will probably have some videos on how to do it. I wanted to showcase the platform and how it’s not all about plug and play.
I bought this because I have no knowledge of DMX. I just wanted an AI plug and play device to control my lights. I guess I will have to return it since I have no time to figure out all of the software parameters.
Thanks for the watch
is there a way to limit the movers so they dont hit the audience in the face, or does it just go at random
You could limit the movement on Chauvet DJ fixtures on the actual fixtures but I would have to see if that feature exists
very cool!
Thanks for the watch
Are there any plans for this to be able to preanalyze music?
Great question for the Maestro team! I unfortunately don’t have that answer
So to be controlling the device my PC needs to be connected to that device own wlan? What about I need to be connected to wlan with internet connection (because of the the Tidal e.g.)? That's no can do.. With the other solution you're mentioning the external control panel makes more sense. Or if you don't control the maestro during the show, that's probably ok, but is that even possible.. Just wondering, not trying to be negative. :)
Totally get what your saying. So here is how I understand it… connect a computer to maestros network protocol which will then get you to the BTS look to allow you to patch fixtures, decide how you want to run your lights and then you can reconnect to your internet/hotspot to run Tidal. Pretty much getting on their own network allows you to patch everything and set things up for your light show, so the program knows what fixtures are there and how many. I haven’t tried this yet but I’ve thought about having my iPad connected to maestros network to have some extra controls just in case. Mind you I’m coming from a background that I usually have some type of hardware controller near by to control my lights. Thanks for the watch!
How do I control the moving heads direction
All AI. There should be parameters that you can input so it doesn’t hit the area behind you
This isn’t AI, AI would plug in recognise all your fixtures or of unknown would work out the dmx parameters. Then it would just be a case of maybe 3 buttons like calm, middle and full on. Even that wouldn’t be needed with Ai as it would detect from the song. This isn’t much different from lightrider.
I’ve been chipping in to their kickstarter. Within 18 months someone will have produced an iPhone app with simple dmx interface that will be AI
Thanks for the watch!
Hi. Can you add Chinese moving heads to the program.
Probably but you’ll need to build the profile unless they have similar dmx attributes.
Does this work with ADJ WIFLY par cans?
Probably. You'll need to look into the fixture library to see if they have it listed.
Kind of hoping for an exact answer. Dont want to purchase it and then its not have the option. I cant stand using IOS and my lights only seem to work with IOS. I need to find another way around it
@@lightinginventory
So is there a way to program a fixture not in the list?? Say a custom made fixture thats just RGB lights?? Or cheap chinese lights that wouldnt be on the list?
Yup! There is an option under the fixture profile tab to do just that
@@lightinginventory sweet! Ive been looking at getting one for my band but wanted to see how the first batch went before i ordered 1.
Only one dmx out?
Sadly yes. So only one universe of DMX
@@lightinginventory Should be at least two to make split runs easier
@@raggaroaringsound I 100% agree with you. Or having a second universe of dmx
So it’s not really ai since you have to do a lot of input
🤷♂️ talk to the owners of the product about that!
And is the going to tell me it’s plug and play or you have to input information and programming to get it to work. I’ll stick to Sound Switch 1000% better
Correct. Guess AI used to take the info and make something from what you inputted
Thanks for the video. You just sold me on not buying this thing! I thought it was easier than what you just presented!
Glad to help. It’s the reality of the device
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s only those that back the kickstarter have gotten their devices and are the only ones posting anything on TH-cam about them. We need UNBIASED reviews. This does not qualify. Until I’m sold with an unbiased review, I’ll stick with the trusty ADJ Wolfmix WMX1.
@Sticksentertainment- Sorry you feel that way. Back story- Yes I am a kickstarter backer but was not compensated to make or say anything about this product. I made this to show end users what you are looking at getting into. Not every tool out there needs to be purchased but some more than others help make the job easier used in the right show. The reason you are seeing ONLY backers posting is because Maestro did one initial run of production and then did a presale once it was officially hitting the market. "Us" backers waited awhile for this to get developed. While I own a Maestro DMX box, I also have the wolf mix, ILS command, Showxpress, Chamsys MQ70 & an Onyx NX4 console, each tool for different applications. The purpose of my video was to show the backend side of how this program works because I felt the company didn't show a lot of information about this. Thanks for watching!
@@lightinginventory Thank you for the video. Maybe you can help me out, out of all the devices, which one would you recommend if someone wants the simplest way of achieving this: 1) sound to light 2) custom color palette for different fixtures 3) limiting area of movement of the moving heads?
8 days ago FRESH OFF THE FEDEX TRUCK AND NOTHING TO SHOW.....
Maestro has plenty of videos of them showing the lights going with the box. My intent was to show what the back end side of the program was and show that it’s not a true plug in play system and it gives you the ability to patch and customize some parameters of the program. Thanks for the watch.
@@lightinginventory well at least paste some video links to those videos, people like to see the lights in action not just how you fiddle with the GUI
