Hey Mike, I completely agree with the multi cues, you would think the software would have caught up by now.. One song that comes to mind is Thriller....could work the lights and then automatically start fog machines etc...then have the option to save the cues so whenever we have the setup and play that song, it automatically does the light show.
Looks great BUT if im cuing up another song in the other deck that has these DMX triggers on, is it going to effect the light show when i dont want it to?
so If i have this right you could leave the first three hot cues for your audio mixing(for when not full light set up or different situations and by pressing and holding ctrl on keyboard then hit number keys 4-9 across the top of keyboard then you can set loads of cue points for DMX regardless of how many are on the VDJ skin Then use Alt and the number keys to activate those extra hot cues or just let the song play .. If i have it right this is awesome!
I mostly use a midi controller with showxpress to trigger my scenes, but I was so excited when I saw this video because I would like to use this feature on certain songs. Will these lighting cues override the scenes I have manually triggered when I play the particular songs I have set these lighting hot cues for?
This is really cool! Are you running both programs on the same laptop? I would think it would slow down each program. Can you have the lighting control on a different laptop and link it with a wireless router? This is awesome technology, and exactly what I have been looking for.
Mike, thanks for the video. I want to try this. I am having trouble finding the plug in in the Virtual DJ site. What is the name of the plug in and under what category is it listed the Virtual DJ download page? Thanks in advance. Your videos help me get excited about new technology and new things I can do.
Hey mike great video but another oerson asked about both programs together I was told not to run VDJ and Show Express together due the power draw on both. Also in my show I run the DJIO also I eould think that eould be to much of a power draw . Can you tell me you think is the best way??? DJ Magic Mark
Hello MM, Great video....been waiting on a tutorial on these software program. I have a question if you dont mind answering? Does these programs work on a tablet (Asus EE Transformer)? Thanks
Something I've been trying to figure out is how you would run multiple lights at once, do you have to go from the USB to dmx converter to a controller or is there a multi dmx out device so I don't have to spend $200 on a full analogue controller?
Damn virtual dj coming up, hopefully serato gets this feature soon!!!

Now this is just too cool bro I wish Serato had this but this will be great for timeline of my songs !
@djyak999 it dose that wiby just turning it on in the siftware and setting your sceen to auto bpm. MM
Great Great Great Mickey Mike !!!!
Great it added the additional ques to the song SWEET is there a way to add more cue buttons to the page as well. Thanks MM
@Playitrealloud the link iS inthe discription of this video for the plug in
they will all trigger a music hot cue if you hit them but just name them correctly and the lights will start the right time MM
Looks great BUT if im cuing up another song in the other deck that has these DMX triggers on, is it going to effect the light show when i dont want it to?
Can you assign more that three cues in virtual dj?
Works with freestyler also .. been doing this with VDJ for quite a while.

You can do up to 10 cue points by using press CTRL + 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/0
Ken you can do up to 10 cue in VDJ I found out :) MM
Hey Mike if you use the NS7 skin there are 7 cue points on that skin hope this helps!
Is there a plugin for mydmx 2.0? Informative posting, thanks DJ MM.

@Mike Susca, is that the chauvet 512 or does it have to be the 512 plus for sweetlight to work with?
either one but only version 6 or 7 I think not 8
Does this only work with with showExpress or is there other compatiable software in which cues can be added for lighting effects.
H will show express work on my mac with this ENTTEC USB DMX Pro 512 Ch PC Based Interface for DJ Lighting adapter?
Thanks for the help.
Make a AD-Hok wireless network link the 2nd pc to it and try that!
can you help me a tutorial or desirme as I can. creating a profile of a beam 200w can help me please
virtual dj has 99 hot cues if you know how to use it
maybe soon
MM
right! MM
