Rather than a monthly subscription, there is also a lifetime one-off purchase option available for the software licence which is roughly £160 ($199).

GetInTheMix If I own 3 DJ setups and am gigging multiple events at the same time, can I license the software once?
Can SoundSwitch work with Rekordbox?
It's for the lifetime of that version of the software. Not the DJ's lifetime!
$7,50 a month for 3 or 4 years is a lot. Im sick of subscribtion based companies
i think you can buy the software for 199 Dollar
but yeah - that subscription model sucks
The thing is people got used to the idea of buy once and it goes forever. This is an unsustainable model for a business as a whole. People expect support, people expect the company to be around forever, but then are shy to pony up the money to help sustain a company. Especially in a niche company such as SoundSwitch, there has to be a financial incentive to improve and support the product.
It may suck, but this is where all companies are now, or are headed.
Definitely lost me with that
Just buy it outright. Easy.
@@Kayplaya basically if you don't use subscription model chances are support will fizzle out and company will go under and then you are left with out of date software
Mate! I've been searching everywhere for software like this. Awesome video.
At last, a proper introduction to how ss works, thankyou ! Now going to watch more.
Nice tutorial of Soundswitch made my go out and purchase for myself. I do have some criticism of your video log which will dramatically improve your video if you go back and do a part two putting in info and showing how to get started with Soundswitch by starting with the integration of how to connect Soundswitch with the DJ Software for example their are several steps needed in Serato DJ Pro before you can just plug and play. This is just one example only here to help improve and provide some help for future purchaserer of SoundSwitch. This Light Software is cutting edge technology will definitely be a game changer for mobile DJ's. Keep up the great videos and tutorials you earned my subscription.
Awesome video. Gonna get into SS soon!
You earned my subscription the moment i heard slave mode. I have a similar setup and although i set the right dmx addresses, i set them all or almost all to master so it is a mess, no blue light in the configuration in the beginning. Thank you,straight to the point and very educative, better tutorial than SS own manual, they forgot to write this "tiny" detail there.
Cheers,

Best ad on I have purchased for DJing
Amazing how fast $60 turned into $300. SO glad I watched this before buying :) Cheers!
Great video--thanks! Sucks this can't be used with Rekordbox, all I hear is negative comments about the RB DMX so I'm not sure how this is so much better or different?
GREAT VIDEO..CONGRATS...BY THE WAY I LOVE THE PICTURE ON THE BACK, WHERE DID YOU GET IT
I just ordered. Hope it's better than my dmx buddy from adj
hi, fantastic video.. im sold. how long is the cable?
do sound switch works with all type of lights ot particularly from specific manufacturers lights. can we do patching own light profile inside sound switch or they come with own default settings
In performance mode the channel faderyare mapped but what settings on thr light fixture do i need it on because seemd to not be working.
where is possible to find and view the Fixture Library to be sure that all my system are into it before buy?
which light system is good for rekordbox dj to controll the light using the rekordbox dj software or can i use soundswitch of that?
is there a way to connect addressable light strips to this? to animate the lights in the soundswitch app?
Hi! do I need a soundswitch box to use my pioneer controller or can I use it only with the SoundSwitch Micro-DMX Interface and how?
de we need to use this specific cable or any dmx/usb works?
Do I have to be continuously subscribed to use it with prime 4 or will it work?
I have the MyDMXGo how do you compare to Soundswitch big difference
does this software also works on the Pioneer DJ XDJ-RX3??
Guys if ive to create a show for my Gym not live based but prerecorded and easy to replicate for all the center, which software do you suggest?
La interfaz mini dmx Solo funciona con ese software ?
Will this work for bands with backing tracks?
Do you have jmaz versa flex on your list of lights
Can I use SoundSwitch with FL Studio too?
Does it work with record box?
Does it work with wireless dmx?
Can you split the signal? As in Y tha cable to send the signal to a mirrored L+R set up?
Does this work with Reaper DAW?
hello. is it also compatible with windows?
What are those moving heads??
hello everyone, big question. I don't want the software to program for me, I want a program I control. ie at five seconds this blue light goes on, for five seconds, fade etc etc. What is that program??? *I'd prefer to not use arduino etc for heavy coding, software libraries looking for something easy-ish but highly controllable.
is this interface available in philippines?
I just realized the hardware is compact compared to last 3 years
Does it work with Rekordbox?
How do I get this product? I am from Egypt
How does soundswitch communicate with your DJ software and hardware? I use Traktor Pro 3 and wonder if it would work for me.
It probably uses the bpm and jog/turntale for the dimmer effect, maybe the harmonic key for colors, and ramdom movement effects...
What moving heads are those?! Looking into getting some, I like the size of those
These are Equinox Fusion Spot MKIIs: www.getinthemix.com/lighting-effects/moving-heads/equinox-fusion-spot.htm
They are very nicely sized and priced, convenient route to go to get some moving heads in the rig!
Does to work with rekordbox
How many venues can you have? I want one for my mobile set up and one for a club that I play at. It's that possible to toggle between the 2?
We're unsure of the limit exactly but you can have multiple venues and it is easy to toggle between them.
If it is set to auto analyses could it work with Spotify? I want to host house parties and I pay for Spotify and would like to make it work with it
I’ve never used this program before, but if you could feed the signal from Spotify through a virtual audio device and then send that signal to this program, maybe that would work?
Does your computer handle both programs smoothly during performances? I would like to ditch my Lighting laptop.
We didn't have any issues using it here but it is entirely dependent on the spec of the computer you're using. Providing you have enough ram and a reasonably strong processor you should be fine, it's worth checking the recommended system requirements of the two programs and then aiming a bit above if you plan to run both.
i have 1 question that how to connect mini moving head gobo light ?
It depends on what brand light it is, and whether it is in the fixture library. If it is not you can contact them on the website and they can create a fixture for you.
So Soundswitch activates your lights while the music fader is openend. But what do you do if you need some light while no muic is playing, e.g. speeches, games etc. Do you need to program an "empty" song without music but with the lights you need?
Not sure if you got an answer elsewhere but I can give you a bit of info about that. There is a standalone option for soundswitch where you can override the light shows happening. Works well with a midi controller. So basically you can set separate static scenes (like if the wedding you're playing at has a red/white scene and you want that scene during cocktail/reception then you can press your midi controller or click on the screen). Also good for making blinder, blackout and strobe scenes with the option of it to be toggled or just pressed. And once you don't need those scenes and want the lights to match the music again then you just untoggle the scene. Here's a video on how to do it! czcams.com/video/s1hmVOJK4Gg/video.html
How does this software adapt to services like Tidal? Some DJ's supplement their libraries with streaming services to satisfy on location requests. Does this software only work for previously analyzed or programmed light shows?
Thanks for asking! I would like to know the answer to!
So I asked the support and they told me that soundswitch only works with programmed lightning shows which takes a lot of time to get it good or auto loops. However they don't respond to your beat. They are just randomized if you don't actively choose one. I think soundswitch is nice if you really want to nail down a great programmed light show apart from that it's not really worth it.
What is better? Soundswitch, DasLight Rider or RB-DMX1 ? Which one handles LED bars best?
PixMotions RB-DMX1 is terrible. a terrible knock off of SS. just read the forums.
@@calebkent7981 I ordered one to test it this week. If it sucks i switch to the Traktor s4 mk3 instead of the pioneer ddj800. I think the idea is great... That's why I want to give it a chance.
You said it's working with Traktor? No info about working with Traktor on the Soundswitch website. So please Explain.
Information here: support.soundswitch.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002537732-Support-for-Traktor-Pro-2-via-Ableton-Link
Do I have to get the other device in order to make it work properly? It’s a small black box, I don’t know the name of it, can you let me know please? Thank you
You just need the dongle and the ss software. The dongle is around $40 usd. The black box was the previous version if I understand correctly. Software for a lifetime license is $199 usd.
Thank you
Where to get
What’s the difference between this and the soundswitch box at £499?
Functionally they are the same, the original box was the first version. However, owners of the original box have a lifetime SoundSwitch subscription and do not need to pay monthly for the software.
does this work with UKing moving heads?
Yes
The moving heads seem to be out of sync with each other. What USB hub are you using?
That is a result of an error on our part, either we didn't get their positions right or they were not set up as a pair. It likely James made some adjustments to the show during the tutorial which affected their position for the show.
The USB hub is by Orico, we've had it floating about for a while so not sure on the model but they've got a selection available!
Can they all be daisy chained or only slave mode for all??
They work daisy chain and they not need to be on slave mode just assigned addresses
What is the white box next to your computer?
That is a USB hub!
CAN SOUNDSWITCH WORK ON ANY DJ CONTROLLER LIKE DDJ 1000
SoundSwitch connects to any Serato compatible DJ controller or Mixer. The DDJ-1000SRT is supported but not the original DDJ-1000, which is only Rekordbox compatible.
@@GetintheMix can you help me out if I want to connect pioneer dmx to moving head light how can I connect using xlr cable? I get so confused n I want to connect moving head with another moving head how can I connect those? Can you please explain me please please please
Are you sure you set de fixtures to slave and not to the DMX channel it listens to?
can this be used with rekordbox dj
Rekordbox is not supported, however pretty much everything else is.
You could use stand alone option. With abelton link it would follow the beat timing and you would be stuck with auto loops and pre set scenes. But it’s not a 100% no. It’s just not as integrated an option as it is with Dennon VDJ and Serato
3:36 ayy ellaskins
You mention that the light fixtures need to be setup as slaves? I thought you only setup fixtures as slave if you are not using DMX? Did i miss understood something? Thx in advance
They need to be set to corresponding address not salve mode, soons you connect the software your lights should go dmx mode automatically at least mine does
Where do I buy that device?
We have this available if you're in the UK or mainland Europe:
www.getinthemix.com/accessories/lighting-accessories/soundswitch-micro-dmx-interface.htm
Is there any particular reason why you're moving like a pendulum?
Our building was being transported on a boat at this time 🚢
@@GetintheMix Haha! Good one!
stand still while your talking you make me think we are on the deck of a ship in heavy seas
Wait the software needs subscription?
Yes, the SoundSwitch interface is only £24, and the subscription is just £5.99 a month.
@@GetintheMix is there a lifetime license?
@@DynMarkMusic Yes, a lifetime license for SoundSwitch 2.0 is £149.00 (£179.99 with VAT).
You get all the updates for version 2.0 but will need a new license when the software eventually moves on to version 3 and you want to upgrade to it.
i cant make 1 simple par work, getting very aggravated
Roses are red, violets are blue, soundswitch is always best for you.
looks good but paying g a monthly fee... is just not cool... it's an endless pit. I run elation emulator it's been year they discontinued I still get service. I may had paid twice the price than What switch cost but it was a one time. I don't think I need a extra monthly payment. ☹️
Nice video but please stand still 😄 that makes me nervous
seems like a lot of wires tho
1,024 channels....well I need 1,025 channels so it won't work for me otherwise a paid subscription would make sence....for the manufacturer.🤣
Paying rent and not able to own a piece of equipment in its totality is too expensive.
stand still
It also looks like a big peasant glare
Subscription baseed 😞
Monthly subscriptions are b*******
7£ I think is ot mich every month,
mannn.... stand stil....and show me how acurate the light flashes on the sound. All I did see was no more than a VU detection.
I was hooked until you said it wasn’t free :/
Gk he
You need to go into more detail than this. I followed your step but you don't go into what you hit to get where you're at or what to do if the program like virtual dj doesn't connect. I've seen better examples than this with way more description.
You lost me at 'Subscription'
talk without using your hands 😛
Nice video, but you should not move your arms and body that much ;-)
Sounds kewl but that was a shity light show
Rocking Rolling facts
@@onlyknives4pros Holy shit, the man can talk but no walk....
unisonproductions123 lmaoo
Stop moving your body 😁. Making me dizzy 🥴
I love the software, but the non-US company is not up to the US standards we all have been used to for years. I made the mistake of trying to buy their software and hardware directly from them, they are very much trying to hide behind a vague website with no US ties at all other than they have a US parent company called INMUSIC. I'm currently having stolen funds recovered by VISA from them. They are great at taking your money in less than 1 second, but when they can't deliver the hardware, they become unavailable. No phone, no real accountability in the United States at all. I advise using their products only if you have a GIANT firewall and are very savvy about your network security.
Shit so you're saying it's mallware? Where's your proof?
@@unisonproductions123 Idk if he knows what he is talking about. Look up Chauvet DJ soundswitch.
