Review: Ape Labs LED DJ Lighting
German manufacturer Ape Labs might not be the best-known name in DJ lighting, but their range of LED fixtures bring some convenient and easy-to-use options to the market.
Watch Mojaxx’s review of some of their flagship lights on this week’s Tips and Tricks.
First Look: SoundSwitch for Serato DJ
DJcityTV’s Mojaxx provides a first look at SoundSwitch, a new product that enables DJs to control DMX lighting with Serato DJ.
SoundSwitch, which was announced in June, is a joint venture between Serato and fellow New Zealand company Onesixone.
SoundSwitch for Serato DJ Is Now Available
SoundSwitch, a new software and hardware package that provides an interface between Serato DJ with lighting systems, is now available.
SoundSwitch enables DJs to attach lighting cues and effects to audio files, which are automatically triggered when the music is played through Serato DJ.
”DJs can now easily consider the impact lighting can have on their live performance and in turn the experience of their crowd,” SoundSwitch CEO Zak Meyers said in a press release. “We are looking forward to seeing how DJs approach SoundSwitch and what affect [sic] it has in the performance space.”
The hardware and software package can be purchased via SoundSwitch’s website for $499 USD. Those who buy the bundle will gain access to the software immediately, but the hardware won’t arrive until August.
Watch Serato’s demo video below and stayed tuned for a review from Mojaxx on DJcityTV.
