VJing/Visualizers for a party
VJing/Visualizers for a party Posted on: 30.10.2013 by Elease Bremerman Hello all! This is my first post but i've been following the blog for a while now, love everything you all do!The question i pose is similar to VJ articles that have been on DJranking s, but none of those articles quite solve my problem. I am Djing for our school's student sixth form after-party, where we get a big marquee in a field with visuals and a big speaker system and have a big party. I want to incorporate some kind of visual projection behind the DJ booth, that would be able to run un-touched for most of the time, but be triggered into changing patterns or speeding up at particular moments in songs, either by keyboard shortcut or a midi controller. I would also like to occasionally play video that would not need to be beat synced (ie. Lyric/Music videos for certain songs), and thus would want the video to mix in from the visuals (although this isn't necessary). Ideally all this would run from a secondary computer from an AUX in off the mixer. Does anyone know of software capable of doing all this (baring in mind i currently have no VJ content of my own). I'd appreciate any help what-so-ever. Thanks, Hugh | |

| Shira Narwold 31.10.2013 | I use Vizzable. But you'll need Ableton. |
| Delena Katherman 31.10.2013 | Morphyre, Discobrick, and Aeon for the win. |
| Kenda Raedel 31.10.2013 | I was checking into vdmx.( I believe is what its called) pretty cool. Pricey but I was messing with it and found it pretty cool. Mac only. There is also a ganz m4l device that looks pretty cool. |
| Lannie Kutay 30.10.2013 | We run winamp on a standalone maschine at the club, works like a charm ........ Edit...... Oh my god, it's pretty sad when your phone autocorrects, "machine" to "maschine" |
| Latoria Kavulich 30.10.2013 | I have the paid version of morphyre which is awesome, doesn't run very smoothly on my machine though. Mostly i use milkdrop with the "Triptonaut" preset pack |
| Isa Erik 30.10.2013 | google WhiteCap and GeForce, both are little standalone programs (from the same author) intended for just the thing you need |
| Cassie Sangermano 30.10.2013 | +1 for winamp, get milkdrop for the visualiser, brilliant little program to do all sorts of cool visualisations!! |
| Latoria Kavulich 29.10.2013 | You could look into Arkaos or similar, but most of the time running an input into another laptop running winamp does the trick. |
