@@RealLifeDJ I found my manual and have just got in my cables and will try Freestyler DMX. you can program GIG bars. as I want to control the individual pars and derby as well the strobe to come on separately and in a sequence as to not all come on at the same time as it looks blinding when that happens
I have the original Gig Bars no move this is what I want to add to my pair two moving heads. I'm hoping to get them at a good price but most are in Quebec where we from Ontario can't visit and yes I bought a hazer. my question to you cuz I'm relatively new to the lighting and will have to figure out how DMX works but I noticed your moving lights stopping at different beats in song to the pars. are you using a DMX machine?
I just bought 4 Tom **" moving heads to add two on each of my gigabar clones. They can screw in on top of bars. Got a great deal on the heads like new 4 for $200 CA. Can't wait to get back to work. We're not open yet.
new dj here, i just purchase gig bar move (without the ils). i was very saddened because beams from the derby was not visible and strong enough. now i know why after watching your video. what kind of haze machine did you use? also, did you set the gig bar move to Auto or sound mode? what specific settings did you use? - could you please help here.. :) thanks in advance.
Great video JP, I have the older version and will add that light to my arsenal for smaller gigs when we are all allowed back to work, gotta use haze though. Keep it up mate 🎤🎧😎
Thanks for your video! We have a couple of Gigbar Move's and love them! Just wondering if you have any luck slowing down the effects, so it's not so 'jumpy' in sound active or auto mode? I've tried everything through the settings, but it just seems they flash so fast no matter what! The derby lights are such a cool effect, and it would be awesome to have them 'feature' a little more, rather than just flashing for a split second every now and then, if that makes sense.
Hay JP GREAT vid. So being a new DJ can you explain the difference between haze, fog and smoke? Do you need separate machines for all three of us it just the fluids. If you need all 3 which one is best to use? Looking forward to your answer and really love the channel. Many thanks. Tony jefford
before i say this i just want to make one thing clear, i enjoy your videos, im a loyal subscriber and watch them all as they are released. I appreciate the time and effort you put into creating these video, but and here comes the......But! In recent weeks, the channel has looked more like a dj equipment advertising show, sorry but thats how it has come accross to me. It would be great to have discussions on equipment and why we would use it and how etc. discussions on play lists, maybe some demos on the mixing and music choices etc. discussions on different setups for different venues and the types of gigs. Please im sure there are many more of us on here that would love a bit more of this type of content, especially as at the moment we cant use any equipment that we have due to the lock down etc. many thanks and despite my moan please do keep the content coming as i do still enjoy them.
Hello Danni, firstly thank you for your support it is appreciated. I admit in recent months I have featured more DJ Products and Equipment videos than previously. To cut to the reason for this is I cannot gig currently and whereas I used to do 1 gig vlog a week, now I cannot do any. I used to also get many requests for certain videos that to has disappeared! Coming up with new video topics is really quite hard and in fact I went 17 days recently without a video being published as I had no content topic that I felt was worth filming. Until I can gig then the balance will be more towards videos about DJ products. But I do take on board your suggestions for videos, so watch this space! Going back to this video, it was actually a request on a previous video! I can also see from viewing numbers and watch time the DJ Product videos are more popular. Hopefully circumstances will start to change and I will be able to film a more varied video selection.
Great vid JP, and the gig bar looks so much better with haze, can the effects be slowed down? I try and use haze in most venues it really does add another dimension to the lights, certainly with moving heads rather than just a dot flying around. I find a lot of venues don't understand the difference between smoke and haze so just say no. Keep up the good work.
Yes tranforms it, completly agree and like you some venues just dont understand and say no but if you can get them to agree to a test they will usually then give the ok! thanks 😎🎧👍🏻
Chauvet do a full range of haze machines depending on need All of them are here, for an overview. www.chauvetdj.eu/products/category/atmospherics-ee/ But if looking at something low cost, then the Hurricane 700, and then they go up from there. 1000, 1200, 1600, 1DX and 4D. So a complete range there, working with the same control system and fluids.
I filmed several shots with various settings, these came out best on film. It’s hard to get focus in the dark! I’m doing a video with both the Move and the IRC and will try and get all going in that one 😎🎧👍🏻
I have the Gigbar 2 and the Gigbar move. Havent seen any demos with them both in use as master / slave. Can you do one?? I'd tune in for that ( BTW, you have a new subscriber :) )
Personally I don’t like the gig bars as I’m really not a fan of dots everywhere, the 2 moving heads lack power and coverage. However they do still have a purpose for smaller events, or as hire out stock. Cheaper end events don’t warrant going all out massive moving heads, gobo flowers, dance floor wash lighting, eye candy effects etc. all depends on your market and what events you do. If you tend to do 1 night in a pub each week or so it’s perfect, if you do weddings less than ideal.
It’s a product that works where you have confined space to fit in or a small group. Yes you would not typically use in a big room with 200 people dancing!
This is one video in a series of videos I have made so far for the Gigbar Move. I am currently producing the menu video and one linking two gig bars together. No plans to do a DMX version. Thanks 😎🎧👍🏻
@@RealLifeDJ ah, dmx is what makes this light ‘shine’. (Pun intended) I love this... it’s a complete compact production system. I hope chauvet continues designing new gigbars that offer close to professional stage lighting capability, only compact. I’d pay 3 times the price for something like that and still think it a bargain. Imagine a gigbar from chauvet that looks like their high end professional series lights. It’d be a hit.
Thank you! You’ve made me a believer in haze!
Glad to hear it!
Wow it looks awesome.what a big difference haze makes on the Chavet Gig bar move.
Absolutely Haze is very much worth considering 😎🎧👍🏻
I'd love to see a video on DMX programing these Gigabar moves
I’m really not sure you need to DMX these as they have so many options

Most places in America won't allow haze any more. Is this system any good without haze from a distance? Would one or two of these work for a wedding?
I know venues were stopping smoke machines, but I thought that Haze was being allowed? Does not set off smoke detectors also!
Fantastic all in one system! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Karl hope your keeping well, I see your channel is growing nicely 👍🏻🎧👍🏻
Great video a all in one display for fast set up.
Thanks appreciated 😎👍🏻

Hi, No DMX just Sound to light

I need to pick up a pair for sure
😎🎧👍🏻
Happy Christmas 🎄
Happy new year
I've found it works a bit better on slower songs. great for wedding songs!
Thanks
Great content!!!
Thanks appreciated

You need haze for the best effects

I have not tried to slow them down, I’ll have a look and see if I can next time it on, will let you know 😎🎧👍🏻
Sensitivity level may be your problem.

How come you didn't run the Derby lights with the haze video?
No reason, you can see them working with haze in this video th-cam.com/video/iDG_80yleoY/w-d-xo.html 😎🎧👍🏻
Looks amazing
Yes the Haze adds another dimention 😎🎧👍🏻
Hello, is the bar running in music automatic mode or have you programmed the DMX effects? Nice Video👍
It was on one of the full auto programs 😎🎧👍🏻
great..what settings are these please
Sorry been a while since I filmed this
Maybe a Xmas present 💝 to myself !!
I did think that a pair of these would look amazing behind your band! 😎👍🏻
@@RealLifeDJ have a lovely Xmas and new year John - let’s hope 2021 is a great year for the industry !
😎👍🏻
I love haze, and have it, but not the Gig bar.....Keep on JP
Thanks appreciated 😎🎧👍🏻
Haze or smoke fog which is safer
I believe haze but best check with someone who sells them both

InstaBlaster...
What haze machine did you use? I’m looking at the Rockville haze 700.
Mine is a Chauvet DJ one, I’ll look up the model and let you know 😎👍🏻
Chauvet do a full range of haze machines depending on need All of them are here, for an overview. www.chauvetdj.eu/products/category/atmospherics-ee/

Good job but the two derbies were not on and the beams are amazing with haze and fog.
I filmed several shots with various settings, these came out best on film. It’s hard to get focus in the dark! I’m doing a video with both the Move and the IRC and will try and get all going in that one 😎🎧👍🏻
@@RealLifeDJ I love the derbies in the fog and haze. The beams came out stunning.
They do 😎🎧👍🏻
I have the Gigbar 2 and the Gigbar move. Havent seen any demos with them both in use as master / slave. Can you do one?? I'd tune in for that ( BTW, you have a new subscriber :) )
I’ll put that on the list 😎👍🏻
I did my Gigbar move with fog and it looks fantastic. Unfortunately most venues won’t let you use fog because it will set off the fire alarms.
You need to ask them to test as yet I’ve not had any go off. Venues are very cautious as they think it’s smoke! 😎🎧👍🏻
@@RealLifeDJ I have and they won’t allow it unless the event is taking place outside at the venue. I guess I will buy a haze machine.
It is a shame they wont test 😎🎧👍🏻
Do you have a Facebook page or Instagram?
I've noticed the gig bars in monay videos getting stuck more on the walls and not cleanly sweeping through the crowd.
I had it in various settings during filming
Nice lights but the camera position for the side by side was vastly different making difficult to compare.
You can watch the other video that shows more shots of without if that helps 😎🎧👍🏻

Seemed very flashy… can not see the moving heads lit up long enough… almost acts like a derby effect because they turn off so fast
Lots of different visual options
Way too closeup... pics with maximum height and view of surface patterns and dmx control to feature some actual lighting design.
This is one video in a series of videos I have made so far for the Gigbar Move. I am currently producing the menu video and one linking two gig bars together. No plans to do a DMX version. Thanks 😎🎧👍🏻
