Lighting system
So lately I've been believeing seriously about buying some lighting systems and messing around with DMX. I do a lot of house parties and I feel like they would be taken to another level with just some simple lighting. I have a laser that strobes to the beat + some fog and it's pretty cool but gets old pretty fast. Having some control over the lighting and changing it up every once in a while would be nice.

The lights I plan to use include something that puts out moving colored beams of LED light and a white strobe. Both of these are relatively cheap on amazon.

My idea is to have a simple midi controller with each button mapped to certain scenes. For example, I would have a scene for quiet calm breakdowns, a scene for building up, a scene for a drop, and a scene for normal beats, etc etc. These scenes would be preset so I wouldn't need to be looking at a lighting control panel, just pushing buttons on a controller. Also, some of the scenes would ideally be able to sync with the beat, either through a midi clock or through auto detection (maybe have the booth output go to the software?).

The idea is to have some really good, simple lighting that I would be able to operate on my own while DJing.

If anyone knows of any existing (affordable) solutions to do this, or help me do this, let me know. I feel like it's something someone would have thought of by now. I'm believeing about buying the lights and a USB DMX controller and making this a huge project.

Also, I'm an EE, so please don't hold back any gory technical details you might have
