I'm putting on a show with Magic.. but I have a few question
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2019 3:12 am
Hey guys!
I've been playing around with this software the past month and I am really liking it so far!
I usually DJ on my Macbook Pro 15' model and Pioneer DDJ-SR setup, but I am now wanting to incorporate these visuals that I have created into my sets!
I'm going to do a show for my friends housewarming/birthday party to kind of see how it all comes together in real life in a few weeks.
Since I have this software on my PC, I am thinking about running the entire show from my PC instead of the Macbook ( tried the demo version and it wasnt running well at all probably would need a new graphics card or just be replaced altogether )
I am going to be outputting to a projector that is mounted on the ceiling and the image will be behind me.
SO here are the concerns I am having..
1. I have tried running both my DJ software (serato) and Magic at the same time and it runs fine, but I cannot use my DJ controller as the midi for both software simultaneously. For example, I was attempting to use the sampler pad as the triggers for certain scenes that I had.
2. What is the best way to do this kind of all in one setup? should I get a midi pad and label the buttons on them? I've also considered a simple foot midi controller to at least go back and forth through scenes.
I am wanting to really show off timing and my collection of visuals, so please, any tips or advice is greatly appreciated!!
