I though the lights were just random magic that just happens to follow the djs Playlist. LOL. Had an argument with a buddy betting that there was a dude in the background controlling all that shit. He owes me money. The show is 1000x more incredible with the magic happening in the background! Respect!
Thank you for this. I'm learning MA right now and this helped me a lot to get a feeling of what a show could look like and how you operate it. I'd love to get a walkthrough of how you execute your programming and how your prep looks like
@@merlin_V2 MA itself doesn't have a meaning. It's just the short term for "grandMA" which is the desk used to control the lights. It's made by MA-Lighting Tech.
So when you're at a show, there's 2 people that will make your night a banger. After watching a while I feel like the best thing is for there to be 2 guys on the lights. 1 controls the overall program, and a 2nd to control the specific timing and colours.
This style of programming is called "busking" which isn't really common nowadays but is the coolest because you're in the moment. Most of the time programmers will just Timecode which syncs up their lights that they have programmed from home with the songs of the band they are touring with and that way they have very little settings to tweak when they get on the venue. Timecoding solves all these issues you mentioned above, heck the operator doesn't even have to be in the board for the show to play!
i think he uses a software called showkontrol that software give him info about the dj rig like what song what BPM at what point the song at and more..
DJs don't have experience in lighting design and their sets are consistently changing. This makes it hard to program lights for each set. While lights could come from a computer synced up to the waveforms there is 1. No software that does that well, and 2. In order for the lights to look fresh and different at festivals a person has to put their own spin on them. Also at most festivals they use a software called ShowKontrol which allows the LDs to see the waveforms and when drops are so they can sync the lights even better.
Did not see this comment coming. Thank you. I’m alive and still in the industry. Actually more than ever. Been touring some big shows past 2 years. Lack of videos is mainly due to what I would call creative burnout.
You guys seriously do not get enough recognition.. Great work ✊

i think he uses a software called showkontrol that software give him info about the dj rig like what song what BPM at what point the song at and more..
I have a question.. Where are you from?
The real question is.... how are you running MA2 on a 3 console?
mode2. simple as that
@@tnikiforov yeah I didn’t know that existed til a few days ago haha
How does one learn this?
I want to know what equipment you use to record live video
For this video, I used my Canon EOS R with an RF 24-105 F4 for the main angle and then a Gopro hero 4 silver for the lighting console POV.
@@volumelux253 nice 谢谢
First
What song at 11:44 ?
Walk Away - LNY TNZ & Frontliner
想要一个你的备份研究学习下。我是中国的灯光师
Song at 31:00?
Frontliner Discorecord
I don't get why EDM even has a lighting guy. The music is just playing from a computer so the lights can do the same.
it's not that easy
You are so incredibly ignorant
let me know when you figure out how to do it :)

Where did my guy go? The inspired many to achieve what he did. Assuming he is out of the industry since covid 19. @VolumeLux
