As a musician and Soundswitch software user, I would prefer things a little bit different. First of all, I would like not so many blackouts. Second, I didn't liked that all light pulse at the same time, I would prefer them to be a little bit more "independent" to say so, group by group. If that was the artists choice for this particular song, than is their preference, can't argue that. By the way, nice song, nice sound! Me and my team, as a small band, with only 4 moving heads, 4 moving wash, and 6 PAR I would like to have the stage lightened most of the time, especially to the singers spot, we are a vocal guitarist and two female vocals, they are nice looking and dancing all the time, making show, so I would prefer to enhance and help their visual performance at maximum with the lightning equipment we have. But of course, this is every artist different taste, this is only to share different experience. I appreciate all the work seen on this video, music and lights and thank you for sharing!
And one more thing, I am pretty sure that everyone who decide to program his lights, if he have only few moving heads, he will choose white and maybe yellow, the most powerful colors, to get maximum effect from they're lights. Any other color, like red or blue or magenta will dimm the power. And if you don't have big guns, or you have to fight day light or venue chandeliers, it's when your light show has minimum impact.
A band always wants to have a front light. A white light that dimly illuminates the faces of the musicians. There are far too many dark passages in this show that are not normal band lighting. That may work in a club. But stage lighting is different.
thx for the nice show everyone!!! i have a question: ist the tab function the only way to "sync" with sound? how can i melt it together? mic needed? :D sorry i am new to this!!
Nice, but the guy that did that performance and named: "SoundSwitch Control One for use with a Band" never did any live gig with the band! Band always and really ALWAYS needs TV front light. Just permanent white light, that they can perform and public can see the faces. Is that even doable in the soundswitch?
Sorry, I'm new to SS (with a Control One), and would like to know if you can save the Autoloop, go back in and edit the Autoloop and play it back. I am a solo musician that uses my own backing tracks thru a T C Helicon VoiceLive 3 Extreme. So it is the same track at the same bpm every time. The loop wouldn't have to start at the beginning of the track - I could cue it a few measures in. Thanks.
As I have seen on tutorials, you can edit loops in SS. And you can use a midi/Bluetooth pedal, assign a midi control in the program, and use it as a start/stop looping, strobe, maybe smoke, machines depending on how many switches on pedal board. Of course, there is a short delay when using Bluetooth device, but it's not such a big deal. You get to use with switching few fractions of a second before if you want a perfect sync.
What is this? Name a concert, where the bands are performing, while the lights are constantly 'Strobing' and leaving them in the dark 25% of the show. Only a fool would put the band in the dark, or think constant strobing would be appropriate. You'd be better off, disabling the strobe feature, if you want to build a lighting show for a band.
Thanks for this comment. I'm exploring using a device like this for bands on 100-300 person events and I think that this is something I've also heard from bands... "I can't see my hands". I think soundswitch has options for this but it requires writing specific fixtures to be controlled seperate from the rest of the vibe lights.
I'm creating a video soon on using SoundSwitch with a band. You're not wrong, but you can have more flexibility with the backline strobing than band wash.
I love that you guys show this with non-color mixing fixtures it just emphasizes the in-time nature of SS! Buying !!!!

Sick execution! I like the vibe.
It would be nice to have more independence between fixtures and the strobe and fades. Also, blackouts on a band on stage is a huge no no.
this is sooo cool
thx for the nice show everyone!!!

great video, what are the fixture used in this video?

is there a way to trigger auto loops with say kick drum or snare so auto loops play with a live band?
You can control it with a midi controller, so a pad for the drummer or a pedal for guitarist
This is amazing!
Tame Impala? 😂

@@willisstout of course you can controll the minimum brightness of every given effect like high intensity pulses.
