Here is the complete SoundSwitch setup guide. Is your lighting setup causing you stress before the gig even starts? In this video, I’m at the lab with my friend Jerry from GTZ Entertainment to solve that problem. We are stripping it down to the basics and building a fully automated light show using SoundSwitch, Serato DJ, and the Akai APC Mini. Whether you are a DJ wanting to master DMX addressing or a client curious about the level of production I bring to your wedding, this video covers the "how" and the "why" of professional lighting. We cover everything from the math behind DMX channels (so your lights don't glitch out) to mapping specific blackouts and strobes for those high-energy dance floor moments. In this video, you will learn: Hardware Setup: How to connect dongles, transmitters, and fixtures correctly. DMX Math: How to calculate addresses (Start at 1, add 8, next is 9!) so your fixtures respond individually. MIDI Mapping: Assigning faders and buttons on the APC Mini for live control. Static Looks: Creating specific scenes for First Dances, Speeches, and Dinner. Performance Mode: Syncing auto-loops with the beatgrid in Serato. 💡 Featured Gear: SoundSwitch Hardware & Software Akai APC Mini MIDI Controller Chauvet EZpar 64 RGBA Chauvet Intimidator Spot 260 LED Mini Moving Heads --- ⏱️ Time Stamps 00:00 - Intro: Helping Jerry with SoundSwitch 00:40 - The Gear: APC Mini, Dongles, and Fixtures 01:52 - DMX Addressing 101: The Math Behind the Channels 04:20 - Setting up LED Mini Moving Heads 05:40 - Software Setup: Adding Fixtures in SoundSwitch 09:12 - Pro Tip: Reversing Pan/Tilt for Symmetry 10:08 - MIDI Mapping the APC Mini (Faders & Buttons) 14:22 - Creating "Static Looks" for Dinner & Speeches 19:25 - Performance Mode: Syncing with Serato DJ 24:00 - Creating Auto-Scripts for Specific Tracks 28:15 - Using the Visualizer (No Lights Needed!) --- Connect with DJ Mojoe: Saving the city one party at a time.
