Hello guys don't like to blow my own trumpet but i'm going to anyway!!
last night was my first night Vjaing for stealth, and i would have to say it was fuckin amazing, i had visual jockey running on the mainframe controlled by a joystick and control keyboard and video vegas 4 running on my laptop which i used for playing loops out-putted through a dv cam i only had one crash alnight, i was also maning the lighting desk. i was a bit concerned @ first about doing lighting as well as vjaing but i really enjoyed the being able to match lighting with visuals to create an atmosphere that worked as a whole rather than two separate entities, i don't know if anybody else feels this way but i definitley beleve that this is the way forward (for me at least) i had everything synched to one midi clock i used old mc303 grovebox, you may remember an old thread in which i bitched about being shit, well it still is but its a good master clock and i can tap a tempo on it, i used an mtc converter to get it into vegas and had another midi line going to the lighting desk, i couldnt set up a feed for visual jockey though so i just took a feed from the allen and heath xone 92, i also had midi control data coming from the mixer which i used to control the zoom and shifter plugins in visual jockey, this worked really well and the DJs where quite impressed with the idea that they had some control over the visuals.
All in all it worked amazingly after all the sleepless nights i've in the past two months about it all working properly i heaved a big sigh of relief, popped a disco biscuit in my mouth and had absolutely had it...
I would also like to thank you guys for all the advice you've given me throughout this project! Cheers :yep:
