Thank you for the tutorial! I’m actually going from Luminair to this. I think it’ll be a slightly more efficient to not have to deal with a router anymore. Another plus side I see to this , is having some really cool programs such as wireless uplight chases with the effect fixtures. Thank you again!
James as an old dj of 45 yrs and not very up on computers you've made an old man very happy. I totally got all you said without getting lost too much. And will defo be getting in touch about purchasing this unit... Just one question. How many light fixtures will this basic unit run. I've 8 adj and 4 chauvet and 4 marq lights in my show.. would this cope. Cheers simon
This is the best video I’ve watched about the Go 👍 how do you get both moving heads to respond together? I’m stuck on this.... I am having to set them individually but I see yours are moving or colour being adjusted simultaneously l. Please help. TIA
amen brother! i always read manuals and never have issues..people blow money on gear and are so used to youtubing videos they don't know or dont want to read the damn manual.
I have two questions: 1. Can you erase the presets? 2. Once I pick a preset, I have difficulty getting back to live control. Is there a surefire way to do that?
Thank you for your excellent video James, it was the most helpful of all the videos I watched to get started with mydmx Go. Much appreciated! Like you say, once the basics are mastered then it's pretty intuitive & straight forwards. I have found that the Light Rider tips & tricks videos have also been helpful to master some finer points of mydmx Go functionality & styling. I'm disappointed I don't seem to be able to control show modes in my equinox fusion 200 spots via the app. except by initiating deliberate dmx fail function to go to a specific pre-chosen show mode & then switching signal back on to go back to dmxgo app - any advice - am I missing something?
So with Dmx leads do you just have them all daisy chained so one coming from the Dmx Go device into a parcan then another Dmx lead out of that into a moving head and so on?
Yes. The signal is "in" and "out" of each fixture no matter the fixture type. The fixture is then given a DMX address that tells it where it is on the virtual spreadsheet, so you can have parcan, spotlight, parcan, spotlight and address them as channel 1,3,2,4 and have them appear in numerical order on your controller. The physical signal doesn't care about the order of the lights. If you wire it left to right and back to center, it won't change how it appears on your controller. Crap I need to pay attention to this video, have fun!
I think I have a deffective unit. my lights do not let me control them. Sometimes one side works and all of a sudden one side of lights storps working and the other side starts up. I tried connecting just one par and nothing at all happens.
So I had multiple gigs now where I have had presets and backups ready to go the day before and everything is fine. But then like after a while, I select another preset and my Wash lights stop working. The moving head fixtures are on but my Wash lights all turned off in 99% of my presets. The only Fox I’ve found is turning the unit on and off but i can’t do that mid gigs lol Do you have any clue why?
Can you string a bunch of presents together and have each preset hold for a designated amount of time? I can't be pushing buttons all night...I need my hands to play guitar.
Thanks for this video. Is it possible to use both outputs at the same time. Eg. Output 1 on WIFI DMX and Output 2 on Wired DMX all in the same Universe ? Thanks
Good work, but may I suggest, when you are teaching or training, you perform each step in a repeat manner. Staying the step three times before you go to the next step. It works from an educational approach, because a lot of people are taught with repetition, because of bad short term memories. It works!
I add fixture Big Dipper LS10 (moving heads) and the Colors won’t change when I’m on live I can’t see the colour wedge outside the circle its just not there just the circle is available ?? I have the 0.26 version too
Great video! A couple things I was unsure about: 1) I have a few fixtures that have a UV and Amber channel. It doesn't look like the app chases directly control these channels, am I missing something (other than doing a hard override in the fixture/fader section? 2) I am confused by the second button right next to the color selector (it has a filled dot and empty dot) do you know what those do?
Excellent!!! Thank you! Your tutorial combined with the owner's manual makes this easy. Question - I'm using Chauvet D-Fi XLR wireless xmiter/rcvrs. For slave mode, would I need a 2nd xmiter out of master light w/rcvr in slave light, set on different channel than the MyDMXgo box?
Set all your difi fixtures to the same channel, then go to your DMX address and set them to the corresponding address that the app tells you to. This all depends on what order your fixtures are in and how many DMX channels your fixture uses. I have the DMXGO interface feeding a DIFI hub, which then wirelessly communicates to my DIFI uplights.
Great video, thanks. I'm trying to set up a preset that is similar to one of the manual show modes that come with many spots. Does the DMX go come with an automatic showmode?
Excellent detailed vid, much appreciated. Despite that I have a problem . When I add each preset the value on the left is always zero, where yours seem to default to 129 automatically. I saved the profile, then went back in, altered each one to the same as yours, but was unable to save those settings. Any clues? In case it's my tablet, I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab A6. Thanks. Ian Price.
Thanks for the tutorial great job, I need you help please: I do have SHARPY 7R 230W connected with my My DMX GO my problem is my lights just respond in manual mode but nothing in the automatics presets can anyone can help me ??
I have a very important question. How to turn off the prism completely after turning it off? Because once again a prism, clicking again changes the prism from a liner to a prism in a circle. And I don't know how to turn it off so that I have one lens back.
Anyone else having problems with the DMX Out 2 port on this interface? Everything seems to work OK on port one but on port two when I connect to my fixture it just blacks out.
Hi this is awesome vid,but i need some help. i have 2 par bars and i want to buy moving heads should i buy 8x mini beam moving heads 15watt or 4x spot moving heads 75watts ?
sorry if you answered this already. Mydmxgo app keeps crashing as soon as I open it. i use a Fire tablet. uninstall forces me to add my fixtures all over again 😥
Man I can never get this to work right. The company can't even get the program right for the lights I have. It's been a year and no one can answer my questions. This thing has been nothing but a pain in the butt since I bought it.
I have a lot of problems Can a use chinese moving heads as all dmx with this? And i can connect to the wifi dmx What kind of ipad verson do i need? Please help
I just picked up the Mydmx go but having some issues. My color faders on the fixtures page just go crazy...the values are randomly and quickly just sliding up and down on their own. Is this normal. I can manually slide a blue fader for example without the red and green just doing their own thing. Am I missing something?
I went through and I’m guessing I’m missing a step, I’m not understanding the whole addressing part. I add my lights, and add the address but it does nothing after I add them, they do not react to the functions of the app
Will it be possible to change the static colors (lamps with a color gobo) with the rhythm in the future? I have read that these can only be changed permanently with the outer color wheel in the app. I have two moving heads and it would be nice if they constantly change with each other's color to the beat.
Is it only compatible with ADJ products? I have 4 stagg headbanger 10s. I don’t want the entire DMX controller, I would rather have a digital one like this one.
Pick up the ADJ MyDMX GO here: www.getinthemix.com/lighting-effects/lighting-controllers/american-dj-mydmx-go-lighting-controller.htm
Fuck off
This has been our go too video for training our team for years now. thank you so much

Excellent intro/tutorial. Nice job! 👌
Thank you! Such a detailed walk thru that answered so many questions about this product!
Thank you for the tutorial. You just made my life a lot easier. Much more fun watching you demonstrate step by step.
Most in-depth tutorial for MyDMX Go I've seen! Thank you!
Great to hear, no problem!
Just purchased MyDMX Go. This video should be packed with the unit! Great primer and very informative. Thank You!
Terrific video man, thanks so much and well done!
Incredibly helpful 🙏

Such detailed Walkthrough … WTG ,thanks for what ur doing … Hearts from India ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for taking the time go over this DMX GO, I will need it for when I purchase it, good job.
Very helpful. Good tutorial. Thanks
Can you manually program each channel when your lights are from China and are not on the futures list?
Yes there is an fixture-sll-editor from mydmxgo
Very helpful information! Thank you:)
Thank you Sir wish I'd watched this 3hours ago !! 🙂
Thanks for the help! I just bought it now time to put in some work!
The best tutorial great job
Excellent video, most helpful, thanks a million
Great Video... Very informative.... Can you do a video on connecting the light fixture via dmx ,cord and using WIFI light fixture. Thanks
Amazing Tutorial!!! Thank you!!!

Just one question.
How many light fixtures will this basic unit run. I've 8 adj and 4 chauvet and 4 marq lights in my show.. would this cope. Cheers simon
It can run 256 channels so you will run out of fixtures before the unit chokes!
Great tutorial. I'm sold.
Yeah easier said then done.
Very good demo! So much to learn!
This is a great tutorial! Great job 👏
Thanks for video, really helpful.....
If you set fan at 50%, set limitations, and then go to the graph it's easier to point heads rather than going into overrides.
Thanks for the guide!
😝 I don’t know!
Great job- thanks!
pretty awesome video - the Best on you tube !
Thank you that was a great demo and really easy to follow. 1 thing I wounded can you set up chases
Good job. Nice over view.
This is the best video I’ve watched about the Go 👍 how do you get both moving heads to respond together? I’m stuck on this.... I am having to set them individually but I see yours are moving or colour being adjusted simultaneously l. Please help. TIA
Thank you so much for this
Thanks👍
Awesome video and very detailed I go to the App Store but I can’t find my DMX Pro so I can download the app any help
New sub just for this video ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks!
amen brother! i always read manuals and never have issues..people blow money on gear and are so used to youtubing videos they don't know or dont want to read the damn manual.
Great advice shame my fixtures dont respond like the vid.. adj inno pocket scans
They should work fine, check you have them on the correct channel mode, that they are in slave mode and addressed correctly :)
Can you program your own scenes and chases?
I have two questions: 1. Can you erase the presets? 2. Once I pick a preset, I have difficulty getting back to live control. Is there a surefire way to do that?
Good video for full walk through. I did a video on why this is so critical for livestream artists.
Are you tweaking or nervous? Take a breath man! You’ve got this! Relax!
if you have blinder in your setup, how can I configure it so it only triggers when I hit the blinder (sunglasses) button?
Where can I find the full list of devices that MYDMX can support?
Can you do a video with a gigbar please 🙏
What about if you cannot find your fixture in the list given? I have 2 moving heads that i bought from China but cannot find the brand X-FAN light

Can we use this program for China 🇨🇳 lighting? Or just ADJ products? Thanks and Great 👍 Vídeo and tutorial.
DMX capable lights not just ADJ
Great Video! can it change presets automatically or do I have to do it myself to go to the next preset?
So I had multiple gigs now where I have had presets and backups ready to go the day before and everything is fine. But then like after a while, I select another preset and my Wash lights stop working. The moving head fixtures are on but my Wash lights all turned off in 99% of my presets.

Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting.. have to restart I pad and my DMX go device frequently.
Hi, if i don't see my light in the menu, would i be able to add It and make It work? thanks

How do you set it up to see the 3D rendering on the external screen ?
Great
Good work, but may I suggest, when you are teaching or training, you perform each step in a repeat manner. Staying the step three times before you go to the next step.
It works from an educational approach, because a lot of people are taught with repetition, because of bad short term memories.
It works!
I add fixture Big Dipper LS10 (moving heads) and the Colors won’t change when I’m on live I can’t see the colour wedge outside the circle its just not there just the circle is available ?? I have the 0.26 version too

Can you create a chase between presets?
Excellent!!! Thank you! Your tutorial combined with the owner's manual makes this easy. Question - I'm using Chauvet D-Fi XLR wireless xmiter/rcvrs. For slave mode, would I need a 2nd xmiter out of master light w/rcvr in slave light, set on different channel than the MyDMXgo box?
Set all your difi fixtures to the same channel, then go to your DMX address and set them to the corresponding address that the app tells you to.
This all depends on what order your fixtures are in and how many DMX channels your fixture uses.
I have the DMXGO interface feeding a DIFI hub, which then wirelessly communicates to my DIFI uplights.
Are there different wifi channels that work best?
Can you hook up laser lights with my dmxgo?
Great video, thanks. I'm trying to set up a preset that is similar to one of the manual show modes that come with many spots. Does the DMX go come with an automatic showmode?
This is great but is there a way to control all of this with a midi pedal? Would be hard to run the show while playing guitar and singing.
Or air turn pedal. I asked this 11 months ago with no reply
Excellent detailed vid, much appreciated. Despite that I have a problem . When I add each preset the value on the left is always zero, where yours seem to default to 129 automatically.

I have a very important question.
How to turn off the prism completely after turning it off?
Because once again a prism, clicking again changes the prism from a liner to a prism in a circle. And I don't know how to turn it off so that I have one lens back.
Can you put several identical led pars on the same dmx address so they do the same thing?
Are you able to choose fixtures indavidually? Or must you set all your movers at one time, and all your pars together as well?
Does it work with Chauvet 375z light?
Do you know if the software work with a Surface Pro?
Anyone else having problems with the DMX Out 2 port on this interface? Everything seems to work OK on port one but on port two when I connect to my fixture it just blacks out.
I cant configure mydmxgo with my beam 275 10r what do i need to do???

sorry if you answered this already. Mydmxgo app keeps crashing as soon as I open it. i use a Fire tablet. uninstall forces me to add my fixtures all over again 😥

Unfortunately you cannot sync with Rekordbox, you can, however, sync with software that features Ableton Link.
How about chases?
Man I can never get this to work right. The company can't even get the program right for the lights I have. It's been a year and no one can answer my questions. This thing has been nothing but a pain in the butt since I bought it.

Im struggling with my innospots, they arent changing colors automatically
I went through and I’m guessing I’m missing a step, I’m not understanding the whole addressing part. I add my lights, and add the address but it does nothing after I add them, they do not react to the functions of the app
Can anyone help me with adding an extra 256 ch for mydmx go
I went to the website, but it isn't very helpful it fails to load any info once I sign in
Will it be possible to change the static colors (lamps with a color gobo) with the rhythm in the future?
