- So many of my subscribers have been asking me to make a video explaining how I use SoundSwitch and the Control One so I finally did it. This video does not cover everything that SoundSwitch can do. I admit that my knowledge of SS is very limited and I am by no means an expect at this, but I make it do what I need it to do.

I've watched all the Soundswitch tutorials on CZcams over the last 3 year's and yours is by far the best. Clear simple easy instruction that's easy to follow. Thanks
Thanks!! I wasn't even really trying to make a tutorial video... just trying to show users how I use it. Glad it was helpful to you.
@DJ2Legit007 still cannot get mine to work
@@jonathanhill1483 I'm really sorry to hear that. I know firsthand how frustrating that is.
Loved how simple it was to understand you explanations
I watched tons of tutorials on Soundswitch when I bought it last year. I kept it for 3months and gave up on it because it was not easy setting up. If this video would have been around then, Soundswitch would have me as a user today!
Aww I hear you. I gave up on SS so many times during my first 2 weeks of trying to figure it out. It was extremely difficult for me, but once I got it, then I really got it and it's been a piece of cake after that. Maybe you should give it one more try? Good luck!
Yes you made it look very easy and I understood everything you said and showed 😊Thank you great job 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you for putting this video on Soundswitch. I’m unboxing my control one tomorrow and I’m new to the lighting game. I’ll be watching your video multiple times so wish me luck.
Good luck for real. I was serious when I said Soundswitch is very difficult to learn at first. However, with a ton of patience and persistence, you can eventually get it to work and then it becomes super easy to use. My fingers are crossed for ya!
Nice video! I agree that Soundswitch has some similarities to FL Studio. I think they need an entire interface redesign because I think that’s what is most challenging. If each “track” was labeled like a multi-track DAW instead of just floating on the grid, that would help people wrap their head around it better. That’s what makes FL studio so easy to use where most people don’t even need instructions.
Agreed 100%
Great Video, thanks for making this, been using control one a while but still learned loads from this video, you have a great way of explaining things!
Best soundswitch tutorial by far 👌
Well thank you even though I wasn't really trying to make a tutorial video, but I am glad that it helped you in some way.
Love your videos! So down to earth and as we as DJ’s need it. Nice job
Thank you very much!!
Thank You 2Legit I Will Definitely Get Into Sound Switch Now I Might Have To Watch Your Video 20 Times But I Will Get It Eventually Lol Thank You So Much For These Videos It Helps A Lot.
You're welcome!!
Them lights look great
Thanks!! They really look good at gigs when I have dancing music playing.
Great great video as always thank you for sharing your knowledge and explaining things in such a clear way everyone can understand. Thank you my brother love from the UK 🇬🇧 🙏🏽👍🏽
You're welcome!! Glad it was helpful to you.
@DJ2Legit007 very helpful thank you 👍🏽 🙏🏽
This looks really nice to get, by this time next year I should be on point with lighting etc. Thanks again for the video!!!
You're welcome!!
Appreciate that 2L, Great Video you taught me a few things on how to work and program my SS control one!
That's great!! So glad to hear that!
This was good!👍🏾 ..Thank you!
Man you put out some amazing content, and very informative.. I’m totally new to Soundswitch. I’m using the Rockville Mini Par RF AND Rockville IR Wedge lights for up lights. I have a total of 8 minis 24 wedges but most of the time I use 10 wedges to do my Uplighting and the other 14 wedges for my show, plus I have a total of 6 moving heads that I have to ad to sound switch!! Thank you for sharing such great Videos!!
Hmmm another thought is don't add your 10 wedges to SS. Just use your remote control for them since they are just gonna stay static on one color. Or you could study that grid in SS and learn how to program them to stay static while the other lights go crazy lol.
@@DJ2Legit007 I’m going to work on it today and I will let you know how I make out.
Wow, thank you so much for this video. This was fantastic. You are awesome for keep putting out Great content for all of us to learn from!
Thanks Dan! This was a difficult video for me to make because SS is not an easy program to get into and I kept struggling with what information do I include in the video? I left a ton of info out because the video was getting too long, imo. Glad you appreciated it!
ty so much ....
Thank you My G...
Awesome tutorial. Appreciate you sharing the knowledge so that we can all enjoy these game changers in our gigs.
Thanks!!
Great first lesson on SoundSwitch Professor 2Legit. Waiting for the next class.
Lol thanks! Oh man, so you think I should make more SS tutorial videos? I admit there was a bunch of info I didn't include in this video because it was getting too long.
Yes I think so. You break everything down and it's easy to follow what you've learned about software.
Another great color to add to static is antique white. You should be able to google the rgb code. I use it all the time for first dance or dinner, etc. It is less harsh than full white and a bit warmer. Sometimes all white is good but sometimes antique white is better.
Thanks for the tip and I will google the RGB numbers for it. I have plenty of slots open for more static looks, so I might as well create one for antique white too, yanno? It's so easy to do.
Great video bro! Just like you i am not a light guy nor have the patience to do all that lol. I have the asdmx and I just made very simple chases for my events. I was looking into either SS or the Wmix still not sure but i might retire my asdmx.
Keep up the good work
Thanks bro! Hey if the asdmx is working for you, then good for you! You saw my advice in the video for ppl wanting to switch to SoundSwitch. You have 30 days to make a decision with no loss of $$$. Good luck!!
@@DJ2Legit007 yeah i watch the whole vid. I might jump into the SS 30 day trial and see whats up!
You are honestly so good at explaining and breaking down the tutorial. I have seen many tutorials on you tube and my brain literally explodes trying to follow them. This was concise straight to the point. I feel like l have confidence to tackle sound switch now. I didn’t want to buy sound switch and then have to buy pre done programs from people at ridiculous prices. I’m not a lighting tech either, l am a dj. All l need is what you have shown here that’s perfect for me. But please do more sound switch tutorials though, as you are excellent at what you do.
I have serato and Mac book pro 2019 16gb 2.3GHz Intel Core i9 1tb, l just wanted to ask.
Is sound switch taxing on your computer? Is there any lagging at all using it with your VDJ etc?
Thanks again
Thanks! Yeah during my first 2 weeks trying to just get SoundSwitch to communicate with VDJ and the lights, I watched a ton of videos and barely learned anything from them. Made my brain want to explode as well! Lol!
@@DJ2Legit007 Lol.
Does Sound switch slow your computer, and do you notice any lagging while DJing?
Just curious.
Thanks
@@finalvinyl3633 Nope. SS doesn't slow my computer at all. No lagging or anything.
@@DJ2Legit007 Thank you
That awesome bro, thanks for showing us, I do have a sound switch too I’m still learning too, is their a way can you share your profile lightts show, I will preciated thank you
Thanks!! To answer your question, I don't know. Never did that before.
No other way to explain it better thank you. Can you show a video how to use performance mode without dj controller in autoloop mode?
Without a dj controller or without the Control One?
Without the dj controller using the control one
@@DJ_MurderBass I thought I already did that in this video. No dj controller was used in this video and I showed how I use performance mode.
@@DJ2Legit007 I should of been more clear. Can you show how to use autoloop/static with out using the DJ Software in performance mode
I've got pretty much the same setup as you, but I don't have a light show setup, I only have a blank venue - were you able to get Virtual DJ to show up in Sound Switch with a blank venue? Thanks man, you're the greatest -
Honestly, I don't remember exactly. I think I did need a named, saved light show for them to connect though. 🤔
Do you need the dmx interface to use sound switch? Thanks in advance.
Yes, you need some kind of dmx interface to send a dmx signal to your lights. It doesn't have to be the Control One. SS makes a basic dmx dongle you can use as well. You can also edit autoloops and create autoscripts in the software without using the Control One.
Can I just make my uploghts stay in a static mode and the rest of the light doing the show @dj2legit
You can not use a static mode and an autoloop at the same time. Either one or the other. What you can do is use an autoloop and then manually program your uplights to just show one color. Remember that screen I showed you on here that is similar to FL Studio where you edit your lightshow with a mouse? That's where you would do that, however, like I said in my video, I don't mess with that so I can't tell you how to do it, but it is possible. Good luck!
