Can you make a video like this one but more in depth, showing how to setup everything with grandma, Resolume Arena & CDJs, going in to how you wired it and adding Art-Net control from GrandMA to Resolume and automatic Scene switching using OSC from Showkontrol to switch to the correct timecode slot in grandma and choose the right clip in Resolume Edit: A longer in depth video in the style of this video
Thanks that's a great Idea. Unfortunately I dont have much experience with laser systems and wasnt able to get someone to help with that on this shoot, but Its on my list for the future!
How can I do this with Denon? It syncs to Resolume and I can assign clips to play back with tracks. Ableton Link also works for BPM sync. I’m running SoundSwitch for lighting and that’s great because the Denon Prime Go can run that itself, freeing up some CPU cycles for Resolume and laser software. I’m looking at QLab but it doesn’t really do what ShowKontrol does. Maybe a better way to ask this is: how can I do something like triggering columns at certain cue points during playback on a Denon setup? Eg one column would start during the intro, the swap clips and maybe animate some effects during a verse, switch again for chorus, etc etc. I feel like I need something that can do timeline-based parameter animation sync’d with Ableton Link (for BPM), aware of what track is playing, then drive Resolume with that via OSC or MIDI. What would you recommend?
Free knowledge that would be worth millions. How I wish there was a tutorial like this when I was starting out as a VJ. As soon as I can I will try to bring content like this in Portuguese on my channel
@@sahilbhandari857 It depends a lot. I, for example, live in a capital city. So there's a high demand for working as a VJ. And not just as a VJ, but any specialized role in the technical area of events is extremely sought after in my city. You need to assess what the event scene is like in your region; if there are many events, it's definitely worth it. Nowadays, I earn more than the average salary of an engineer in my country. P.S.: I live in Brazil.
Sickkk! please do more of these. Would love to see more on the programming side and how LD's and VJ's coordinate during pre viz. Also would be dope to see the homie and time code wizard PJ Carruth get in on these.
Wanted to get back to this, thanks so much Sean! Your videos got me up to speed when I started with this and I've now successfully ran many timecoded VJ shows in different countries touring with an artist. Wouldn't have known where to start without your knowledge!
Great video Sean! Very concise information and well put together video, your really took it up a notch with this one! Definitely gonna wanna see a part 2 with tying in Beyond too the setup and maybe even your POV thought process when you create a timecoded visual.
Thanks Phiggy! Huge shoutout to Lee for the production bump. Couldnt have done it without his space and his gear. Definitely need to get some content creation stuff and laser content on the channel. I dont have much experience with lasers though, if you know someone who would be down to collab on some videos send me some names.
Yet another great video Sean. This is literally the only video explaining this type of production work! I am still confused on the types of cables and what ports are needed to connect the audio interface to the Resolume laptop and Showkontrol laptop. Can you please shed some light on this. Would also love to see an in depth video of how you make the clips using Adobe Premiere! I'm having troubles adding strobes and effects to Premiere.
The interface connects to the computer with USB. Then you need audio cables to send the timecode audio between the two computers. My interfaces outputs are 1/4 instrument / speaker cables. You might also use XLR. Check your interface to see what you need to go out one and in the other
Incredible work man!! The quality of this tutorial is off the charts. This is the video that I now send to all my festival tech friends who need to learn how to setup and test show kontrol before guest acts arrive. You are absolutely killing it man!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks a lot Ben! I really put a lot of extra effort into this one. I'm glad it is appreciated! Huge thanks to Lee for helping to make that possible. Hopefully we can work together on some more high quality content for you all soon
I’m so nerding out here I found my passion. I have been an audio guy for over 25 years just getting into lighting I wish I would’ve had my full potential and learned all these skills in my 20s but I have a good job to pay the bills not my passion but it is what it is
That’s awesome! Glad you are having some fun learning it now 🤘 never too late to have a little fun. Paying the bills is good too! Thanks for checking this out Kevin!
Yeah, I’ve been in different groups all my life mostly studio musician now and apparently because I have so much equipment. I’ve been asked to do DJ stuff as well. Weddings and community events. I just want to take it to the next level. I’m thinking of using maestro DMX for my lighting because I don’t have the time to program. The next step is visually having a screen behind me with animations from blender time code would be awesome to wrap my head around. I’m just not gonna spend $80,000 on a M3 thank you appreciate the channel
Interesting Idea, thanks for the suggestion. Do you mean using a lighting console as a controller for resolume, or how to control DMX light fixtures from resolume?
@@SeanBowes Sync DMX to Resulume video cues. I trigger a video, and a light does something. Or an LED fixture does something, or Pyro does something, or laser.
Great content Sean, you would love OSC See for Timecode Programming with Resolume, it removes the need of Linear editing in Davinci, Premiere or After Effects. Hope you like it. It uses the composing capabilities engine of Resolume with the Linear control of LTC.
Hi, I just want to say upfront. Brilliant video, extremely close to my situation. I'm unfortunately still confused about which cables i would need between: 6:04 - 6:14. Thank you so much!
Audio cables to send LTC timecode audio between Showkontrol and Resolume machines - either XLR or 1/4inch TRS Speaker Cables. Check the audio interfaces you are using to verify which inputs and outputs they support, and get the appropriate cables to run from one's output to the others input. You could also use the 1/8in headphone jack out of the Showkontrol machine, and use an adapter to connect it to the resolume computers audio interface if you only have one interface. From DJ Booth to FOH position, Network Cable - Cat5, Cat 6, or Fiber. Running from DJ Decks and Mixer to one network switch, From one network switch to the another, And from the network switch to Showkontrol & Lighting Desk
Yeah Nightlight has a cool spot! Great people at nightlight and duck lights, definitely check em out for timecode programming, previs, rentals, and rehearsal, shoots, etc if you need that type of thing. Tell em Sean sent ya!
2:28 hoping you could expand on this! I’ve been getting slight frame jumps/subtle skipping and it’s driving me crazy lol. Everything is 30 fps and I’ve tried every variation of volumes in SK and on my audio interface so maybe what your referring to here is my issue
so the frame rate needs to match in the content, the resolume audio preferences tab, and in showkontrol's LTC options or in the framerate of timecode audio that was generated if you are using a playback system instead of timecode. Other issues that can cause skips are distortion of the LTC signal, so check volume levels, cables, and signal to make sure no other audio or effects are coming down that line. Another thing to adjust in resolume is the buffer size in audio preferences. sometimes this can help. If your skips are rhythmic and happen every second, its probably frame rate related. If your skips are more random and stuttery, its probably audio signal related. If you have a bunch of other programs running and your system is strained, that could also be a cause of stuttering and frame drops. Hope that helps! Shoot me a message on IG with some details and we can try to get more specific.
Great video! Can you make a tutorial how you do it with Ableton Link and Chamsys with Showkontorl? In church we use Ableton and a Chamsys MagicQ50 console and we want to run the speed of the fx at point with the BPM from Ableton. If you can do this, this would be very nice. And maybee also with the Lasersystem Showeditor from Laserworld
Hi! Really good video! Thanks for the knowledge! Can i ask what happens when a song is playing with the timecode but the dj starts transitioning to the next song with another timecode? How does the timecode switch betwwen the two songs and when? Thank You!
Excellent question. With ShowKontrol LIVE (most expensive) you have up to 3 LTC channels, and you can input 2 SMPTE channels into Resolume. So you would run 2 audio lines to 2 inputs on your sound card and set them to SMPTE 1 and SMPTE 2, and send Song A to channel A to SMPTE 1, and song B to Channel B to SMPTE 2. They will both align to their respective timecode, and you can fade between the layers as needed. Keep going back and forth, Song C Channel A, Song D Channel B, etc... With Showkontrol CLUB you only get 1 LTC Output. In that scenario, you would get a glitch if you latched to another timecode too early. Instead you can create a copy of your clip, set it to Relative transport mode, and switch to that clip towards the end of Song A. Now this Relative clip is not running connected to timecode, but Relative means it keeps playing from where the last one left off so its still in time. Then you can launch your next timecode clip on another layer, and fade it in.
Will you have a tutorial on how to properly connect a windows laptop with resolume and a MacBook running Showkontrol? I’d love to understand how to properly get these to communicate as that is my first issue here. Not sure if this makes a difference, but I’m using the virtual cdjs for testing and wonder if that setup is different then actually plugging into cdjs
This is that tutorial! I’m not sure that showkontrol works with virtual cdjs though? It only works with a couple of the pro level models. You need to connect the cdjs to showkontrol over network, and then connect showkontrol to resolume via audio cable sending the LTC timecode.
I already have the issue that I have to get it right first, I have to connect MA2 with ShowKontrol. Which option do you recommend here OSC, Art-Net, MIDI, ...???
Hi Sean, thank you for this video, it helps a lot ! I have a question : Is it possible to simulate a audio in ? I mean, if i only have a laptop/computer, how can i train bpm synch etc without being pluged on a DJ desk ?
Can I use CDJ3000s and A9 with my files analyzed for a light show WITHOUT DJ’ing live with a computer? I hear Rekordbox analyzes the phrase and light show and saves that metadata in the track file. I’m wondering if the lightshow can thus be run without a laptop? Perhaps maybe just an iPad app while I DJ using an app? I hate Djing with a laptop? Please help!
Yes, but…. The solutions discussed here involve a whole team at FoH to run Lx and Vx. Something like an ADJ Wolfmix is probably the easiest solution, but there are likely some other options on the market too
Great Vid Guys😎 I Have everything on the list except GrandMA Lighting. Would this also work with Soundswitch? If not do you recommend I should download the GrandMA software and get to know that instead of Soundswitch? Unfortunately, I can't afford the GrandMA console YET
Thanks! Every time I’ve added music in the past I get comments telling me to stop lol you are the first one to ask for it. I will consider it but I’ve found it’s usually a distraction and adds complexity to the video production process.
I dont think serato sends timecode on its own, but if you use it with decks that send timecode information (like pioneer CDJs) it will work. You can also use Ableton Link from serato to share bpm information to resolume. Not quite timecode, but can help with syncing a bit. Hope that helps!
Heya! Thanks for this video. I've been trying to install showkontrol on my mac Version Sonoma 14.1 and unfortunately it won't run as the program runs in 32 bit. Does anyone have this issue too? How can I make it run? Thank you!
Unfortunately I have not used Sonoma yet as its very new. So I am not certain of the compatibility there. I would suggest making sure you are on the latest version of Showkontrol and try contacting Showkontrol support to see if it is compatible or if they have an update coming.
I am using Club. The main differences with Live are that you get 3 SMPTE outputs instead of 1, A Live license covers multiple machines on the network instead of just one, and you get 24/7 priority support. Club is great for your average VJ. Live is great for larger productions with multiple operators running lots of timecode, or if you've got money to burn and want the best.

lol have not run into that scenario. They could do their scratching on another deck over the timecode track and not bother anything. If they scratch the deck sending timecode it would scratch the video as well which could be cool.. or nauseating

Seems that newest software GrandMa3 on PC has now midi Timecode in . So the Timeline in MA3 is newer. then MA2
Guys, how do you switch layers on demo presentation? Dj plays 2 tracks and how to change timecode on output?
Please how can you control your led screen on your lighting console?
could something like this be done in serato?
I dont think serato sends timecode on its own, but if you use it with decks that send timecode information (like pioneer CDJs) it will work. You can also use Ableton Link from serato to share bpm information to resolume. Not quite timecode, but can help with syncing a bit. Hope that helps!

can this be used with timecode sync that denon DJ has partnered with
