This was an eye opener for me. As a 60 yr old DJ who struggles with some tech you made it easy to understand, and improved what I'll be doing with my gigbar move.
Just watched your video I too have the SS, Gigbar Move, Pioneer DDJ-SZ. I’ve not spent a lot of time configuring it correctly. However I use basic and I’ve configured the pads to over ride Red, Green, Yellow & Blue. When I need to override the colours. It would be great to learn the process required to be done to get the GigBar to move according to the beat.
Amen to getting back to working. I'm just getting into the light show but watching my money. is the sound switch software a replacement for DMX? I have 2 bars that are clones of Chauvet they have DMX plugs have worked fine in beat mode. but I'd like to either get DMX or would this be a better idea as I just want to add some moving head lights to my 2 bars.
This is really great, I DJ weddings and this light bar is so easy and versatile but the sound active mode/auto is terrible. This is the first video I've seen and hope you have more in your channel. I use algoriddim DJAY, would you happen to know if SS is compatible?
Hi is there an alternative to sound switch 2 USB to DMX, since I can't find this product in Australia anywhere. I want to sync with music using gigbar move
It would've been nice if you went into more detail on how you got them connected, what channel is best, ect...for people who are not use to using software to control their lights. It seems every video I view on CZcams didn't go into details on how you did this or that. You could've done better with this.
+1 would love if you could share a video on differences for DMX channels (simple vs modes), as well as how positions and attribute ques are set for this. Out of the box, sound mode on the gigbar seems to be way more lively and colorful over what soundswitch is generating for their scripts.
@@jackstromberg3586 Sorry dude. I'm still trying to figure soundswitch out. Just saw your message and still haven't gotten it to work the way I need it to. Can you please let me know what configuration you used to link soundswitch up (ie which Chauvet light fixture) did you use to get all the lights to work. My 2 moving heads are barley moving and point to the floor when activated.
what you didn't show was do you have to program each light (all 7 individually) to the DMX software. you're using sound switch but I may go with a standalone dmx board.
Ok but how did you get it to work, I have soundswitch, gigbar move, VDJ, ddj-sb2. Got everything downloaded, soundswitch connected to VDJ, soundswitch plugged in directly to gigbar move, nothing happens....how do I set the settings on the back of gigbar move to accept the soundswitch
Unfortunately the gig bar flex profile on soundswitch is terrible. There's no control of the derby light motors or the UV light. Ended up returning it after not hearing back from tech support.
i am having a hard time connecting soundswitch to my gig bar move is there a specific channel or address i should use ? if anyone can help answer this question thanks
I just purchased a gigbar move and I am using soundswitch. I am having the hardest time getting the Laser, Derby Heads Moving, and strobes to fire. I see you have them all set as attribute cues but is there any site you could recommend to configure them? I am new to DMX and would like to set these cues to work in autoloops if I could even get my gigbar to respond to any of them. Any help is appreciated!
I have a gigbar2. But I haven't made the leap to soundswitch (yet). If I needed to switch to sound activated mode, can I do that from soundswitch, or do I have to do it from the fixture itself?
This is my first time seeing this software.. do you know if its compatible with rekordbox ? I usually use rekordbox because of the lighting mode it has but i just bought 2 moving lights that are too complicated for rekordbox :/ so im wondering if i could run the moving lights on Sound Switch and sync it to Rekordbox 🧐
This was an eye opener for me. As a 60 yr old DJ who struggles with some tech you made it easy to understand, and improved what I'll be doing with my gigbar move.
Love it! Finally someone that posted a video like that
Love this! been looking into purchasing a gigbar move and this was extremely helpful
Make sure it's firmware is above v1.0 or the sound function will not work😔
About to perform my first 15 añera gig and this is gonna make it even better! Thanks for sharing!!
Very helpful! I’ll be waiting for the next video sol
Great review, that’s pretty cool
Just got mine. Thanks for the tips .

Nice video man!
Thankyou so much for this!
More videos on the gigbar move please.......
Ps great video so far

I know it's been a couple years since this video was made, but any chance you're going to make those in-depth SoundSwitch videos?
Have you figured out how to use Totem mode?

Thank you I am have issues getting mine working correctly too I will try that
Thank you 🙏
Good Vid. I dont use soundswitch, but have been interested for a while. Do you still use it?
Ok but how did you get it to work, I have soundswitch, gigbar move, VDJ, ddj-sb2.
Got everything downloaded, soundswitch connected to VDJ, soundswitch plugged in directly to gigbar move, nothing happens....how do I set the settings on the back of gigbar move to accept the soundswitch
do I need to have my gig bar 2 hook up to my controller or computer to work with sound activation
Do have to make a special program for each song u play?

Dude, I feel ya cause I am to. If you've figured it out please share with a fellow DJ.

Plz lmk if you fix this
Yeah same, a bit hard to program the movers, lasers. I wish you can have a video to show how to change or override some controls done by autoscript.

why the voice is mono?
So... I run my dmx on a sperate PC. So I have to let this program run on the same laptop as my dj program? I thought that was a big no no ?
Waiting on mines today....
Are you running the sound switch software on the same laptop as your DJ software ?
Yes it runs in the background, but you can also connect it to another computer
If you connext it with another laptop how can it read your songs to know movemnt 😊@tissuerty
I have a gigbar2. But I haven't made the leap to soundswitch (yet). If I needed to switch to sound activated mode, can I do that from soundswitch, or do I have to do it from the fixture itself?
You would have to do it on the fixture, but you can do that through your foot switch or the remote that comes with it.
@@tissuerty oh how I wish I never lost the remote. Lol. Thanks for answering.
Nice Video! Can it sync to pro tools?
Hi bro, how can I connect Soundswitch to Traktor Pro 3?
The Gigbar Move is designed for wedding DJs but wedding photographers hate it! 🙂
This is my first time seeing this software.. do you know if its compatible with rekordbox ? I usually use rekordbox because of the lighting mode it has but i just bought 2 moving lights that are too complicated for rekordbox :/ so im wondering if i could run the moving lights on Sound Switch and sync it to Rekordbox 🧐
Doesn't look like it: support.soundswitch.com/hc/en-us/articles/218379397-Will-SoundSwitch-Work-with-Other-DJ-Software-
Does sound switch cost money?
If you buy a dongle it’s $30. If you buy the control one it’s $300. Then once you have the hardware it’s $7/month for the software
Must be very dark room for good one effective
03:14 & 03:46
Basically the idea of the gig bar 2 was to have an easier life for set up and no dmx ...
easier to hack into the CIA rather than to open a sound switch lol
audio is muted
Just on the left speaker only
Well, that sucked
Thank you🙂
Your scratching is terrible
good one bro
