- In this video I go over the basics to receiving timecode on a GrandMA2 console and go through the basic structure to my timecode show file.

respectable - awesome
Thanks for the tips!
Anywhere to download the showfile?
How do you trigger differents songs with reaper ? Marker ? Regions ?
Always wanted to know how they do this . 🆒
I’ve been wondering how people do the Macros. Thanks for the Video!!
Of course! Yeah, I’ve kind of updated a few things with the macro lately as well to make it work better with my file. I will likely upload a video on that here soon!

Hello Aaron !!! Cool video thanks a lot. But i have a question. How do you syncronise markers in reaper to your timecode pools ? I want to do this for a show. The drummer launch tracks one stage with a PC so i want to use reaper to do that and create a timecode show. So when he hits the next marker it's automaticly run my song : so change my timecode pool and run the show. And i don't understand how to do that.
Thanks Aaron !
Hey, sorry for the late response. I actually have been using a plunging called TimecodeMAte for this application. It’s phenomenal and I believe it’s free or quite cheap. Look up TimecodeMAte in the CZcams search and it should pop up!
AHA SO YOU USE A AUDIO STME LIKE A CLICK TRACK FOR AUDIO IN OR MIDI IN FROM MA2 RIGHT?
Good job bro. Can you send your showfile for learning?
Hi. Thank you for uploading this video. I have a question? How would you setup in a show? If I use a soundcard like you, but plug both ends of the wire through the audio mixer and take another wire from the mixer, plug it into the LTC on the MA, is it possible?
Hmm, sorry for the late response. I’m actually not sure. I’ll have to experiment with this and I’ll try to get back to you!
@@AaronHiebLighting Hi Aaron. Glad that you reply.
Nice video friend👍🏿
Thank you! Much appreciated
@@AaronHiebLighting What is Time coding good for ?
Can you make 2 nup how to contact real-time can you show me? Grand ma 2 and 3
One big question, does i need the focusrite audio interface or just I can do it without interface, second question! What part on the back sides the time code audio plug goes?
I hope you can help, by the way thanks for the video✌🏿
You don’t need that specific interface. You can use onboard audio but you will still need to split the TC generator rack and the audio if you wish to have an audio track output from reaper. All you’d really need is a 1/8’ to XLR cable to just output the TC generator but to do both you’d need a splitter so you have a left and a right xlr if that makes sense. It’s a lot easier to do the routing with an audio interface but you can find them for pretty cheap. As far as the port on the back side of the console, it should just say LTC in. Make sure to only have the TC generator track sent down that line to minimize issues with timecode generation. Hope this helps!
@@AaronHiebLighting helps a lot 🤜🏾🤛 I am working with the dot 2 ma, I really appreciate you answer✌🏿 thanks buddy🇲🇽🇺🇲I will subscribe to your channel.
@@pinki6666 much appreciated! Hope everything works out well!
is there any way to explain how to trigger ableton or any other software from grandMA2 by uding MidiNote?
I could look into it. I use MA2 to trigger other softwares like resolume arena by patching “dummy” dimmers in MA2 and use those dimmers to trigger resolume actions similarly to mapping midi, but instead of “edit midi” I hit “edit DMX” and it works the same way. Not sure if there is an option to do anything like that in Ableton, but maybe look into showcockpit as a way to use OSC to do something like that. That’s the first thing I can think of. I’ll let you know if I can find anything else.
Aaron
Hai bro I add to reaper timecode ganaratre then put one song but timecodeganarter routing why
I’m sorry, I don’t think I’m following the question
Man if u have soundcard outputs why u seperate channels u dont need that L-R sound-ltc juts for who using cable
15:10 you can also press the "fix" button instead of typing it... but great vudeo!
Lol yeah I always had trouble finding that damn fix key 😂
What is Time coding good for ?
It’s most useful application is usually syncing lighting/video cues with music seamlessly at concerts/events, but there’s a really wide range of applications within lighting that timecode could be a really useful solution for!
@@AaronHiebLighting aah I figured that much . Cool
Can u pls help me out with this timecode
Sure, whatcha wanna know? Haha
I want I am james and I want to know more about timecode
