Audio trigger /sound to light

Hello community,

 

is there a way to trigger sound to light features through any kind of ETC system? For our next production we want to have lights flashing like an audio analyser, or to put simply, the Knight Rider talk effect. I've seen third part software that can do it and I'm trying it out currently, but that would mean I would need to have a computer run another software and having to merge the DMX output with the ETC console (everything needs to be in one universe). And if there is a way around it...

  • You generally don't get latency issues with this, alhough there will be some slight delays (the raw DMX command would be 23ms as thats the frame frame on DMX).

    I wonder if your issue is that the sound source you are using is not a direct feed from the PA but just a mic on the laptop in the control room and you are observing the lights from down by the stage.

    Assuming a BPM for the music of 120 then 0.25s delay is a half a beat out, sound can only travel about 80m in that time.
