My loft setup
My loft setup Posted on: 02.04.2012 by Caleb Demillo Here's some pictures of my setup in my loft, which I call "bluedoor" (since all the doors in the building are a very bright blue, why not? Secret lounge.).The lighting came about over time. The initial idea was that the LED lighting could also be used for accent lighting. It expanded from there... All lights and visuals are controllable via an iPad, which triggers cues and scenes in ShowCad Artist and Modul8.

That I use to send MIDI to LightJockey 2 (which is actually running in a Windows 7 VM on VMWare Fusion on my Macbook). The same Lemur template I built also sends OSC to another machine (a mac mini) that's running Arkaos for the visuals and sits in my media cabinet (it's my server machine for movies, music, etc). The other app is Luminair. This is an iPad app that's specifically made for lighting, and outputs Artnet directly. This lets me control the lights (LED strips primarily) without booting up light jockey. I had an electrician mount the boxes up on the beams with two switches. One switches on the LED strips, and the other switches on the moving yokes. That way I can flip the LED's on, put on an "accent" scene from the iPad, without booting up everything into "rave mode". |
| Erich Vallabhaneni 04.04.2012 | Wow.....w-o-w.....you say you run your lights and stuff off an IPad? I'd love to figure out how so I could easily control mine without a second laptop. What a great place man, got my inspiration up for my next abode |

| Caleb Demillo 02.04.2012 | Well with 16.5 foot ceilings, why NOT put in some club lights It's fun! The laser is a Chauvet GBC. Just one, and it's pretty awesome. For sound I actually have a 10" sub in the corner off the stereo. That is IT. I had a KRK RP10's subwoofer from my old place, and something about the bass in here, it reverberates like crazy. Huge bass traps in the corner, it sounded ridiculous on the lowest setting, I sold it and upgraded from my previous RP5's to the RP6's. I mean it was really odd, like having a bass bin in your house... maybe the hard concrete floors had a lot to do with that. The system sounds great as is. As for neighbors, I'm in my mid-30's, so I don't party it up all evening . I do a weekly online DJ show from 6-8pm with friends and neighbors over, and the occasional house party, which is more of a lounge atmosphere with appetizers and some nice techy deep music than a raging drunk 18yo party with dubstep. It's really not louder than a stereo at moderate volume unless I crank it. |
| Chi Woodly 02.04.2012 | That is super nice, reminds me of my old loft, but do your neighbors not care about the party atmosphere? |
| Romelia Stankard 02.04.2012 | Recognize this from DJF... sick. Do you have a PA system with some subs if you have parties or anything? at least get a KRK 10s sub at the minimum for those rokkits, it makes a huge difference even just for practicing and messing around by yourself and I can't stand listening to my RP8s for DJing without the sub after owning one. |

| Erica Charvet 02.04.2012 | I don't believe this is real life. |

I had the booth in my previous place, after I bought my place most of the additions were in the lighting area and adding the projector. That and a bunch of new furniture. |
| Alla Bluemke 02.04.2012 | i would kill for that set up lol. |
| Doug Bieling 02.04.2012 | WTF!? How amazing is that place. Is that where you live? What country you in? |
| Jenae Hensarling 02.04.2012 | If only money was no factor... Nice set up Ryan, said it over on DJF as well. Are your productions hosted anywhere? |
