I make music for therapeutic reasons. I’ve found that immersive visualisations and lights help with this a lot. I’ve already bought a couple of rack-mount spectrum analysers and they are awesome.
Do you know of other devices that provide a similar visual experience? I know there are a bunch of cheap bouncing led bars on ali express and the likes but there is a problem: They work based on microphones. I need to be able to plug them in because I use headphones most of the time.
I know it is kind of niche but any pointers would be appreciated.
I ve just found an interesting video on youtube. Maybe the most comprehensive ESP32 video so far. I think it is worth watching. He got all codes shared on his github. Links in the description.
Oh yeah his videos are always interesting. For now I’ve decided to go with a small DMX setup because of its super low latency.
plz share details
I haven’t made all the decisions yet but my goal is to have a multi-sensory experience while making music in headphones. Meaning I don’t need a professional light show nor do I want to spend much time programming lights.
What I am thinking now is I will build a Raspberry Pi based video synth to throw nice visuals on a spare monitor. Then if I want to invest some more I will get a roland vc-1-dmx to convert the raspberry pi hdmi signal to a dmx universe to connect some LED tubes around the studio.
I’m interested too but I can’t think of anything outside of DMX setups.
The only thing that isn’t good enough to be a good suggestion are the Logitech G560 speakers. You could technically plug them in, mute them, and have them react to the audio. But it’s just RGB flashing mostly.
maybe off the mark, but critter&guitari have some interesting visual things like videoscopes or eyesy
Eyesy looks interesting but the pricing like most things C&G seems off to me. I picked a DMX setup with 2 bright multi-channel LED bars which come out to around 280 bucks total so I think I will be going that route (and learning aother popular live performance tech).
