So to give you guys a bit of an explanation, i'm a music producer and i want to create.my own unique visuals time synced with music. So I've started looking into VJing/virtual synthesis and now I'm like "woah" so I'm wondering where do I start? Is it something I could download an app for? Assume it's your first day in 2025, what are you gonna do first?

Hello! I will soon partecipate as a vj artist to a friend’s live concert. He runs everything on ableton live on his computer, and i will have a precomp for the visuals on mine. How could we make his ableton trigger the the visual on my computer??

I will produce everything with after effect but I know the basics of touch designer as well, if that might be helpful to figure out the setup.

Hey everyone, I’m looking to start making little loops and videos mostly for personal use when I dj. Can anyone point me in the right direction

There's a company that makes amp cabs with led screens on the front or puts them on existing cab front meshes. Regardless, all I know is that this product is made by a small team, maybe even one dude. It has a screen at the front of it that you can display visuals on, like a TV. I think it has a short name, like 3 letters. They should have social media, I know they have an Instagram.

Harry Styles used it in one of his recent tours, I think.

Please help me. I have been searching for like 6 days now and I cannot for the life of me find a picture or a webpage, but I KNOW that it exists and that it's of rising in live visuals.

Anything helps.

I’m an artist and a software engineer. I make animations. How do I get into the business of making content for vjs?

Dear VJs of reddit,
I am searching for a vj software that allows me in a very simple way to have two "decks / tracks" running at the same time with videos where I can just fade out on and fade in the other. Since I come form DJing I was thinking about getting virtual dj. You can play videos in it but I don't trust the software as much. Do you have any recommendations? Something that has a preview window for each deck maybe?
And next to that: Do you know a very basic midi controller I can use? Faders, maybe play buttons?

Yo I have a gig coming up in Chicago first real gig, big screen, big crowd. I’ve ran visuals for smaller shows my buddies and I put on but nothing paid like this. I don’t generate any original clips, I only remix known VJ packs by the top artists and create new clips with them, using effects, tasteful transitions and what not. For some reason I just feel kinda phony because I’m not generating my own visuals. Thoughts?

I've seen some medium-sized acts recently that had the lyrics display in sync with the vocalist. This is easy to do if the band is playing to a click track, but what if it's looser than that?

Are there tools to help you automate something like this, where you know what the vocalist will say, and in what order, but not exactly when?

To all VJs of Reddit, how did you guys get your first gig? (I have some hands on experience with resolume and touchdesigner but have not got the chance to use my experience). Also, what would you recommend to newcomers when starting out vjing?

Sorry if this has been asked, I couldn’t find it with the search function. I’m curious as to how everyone links their animations and visuals together. I guess what I’m asking is do you make one animation and then make another animation and then maybe choose 5 to 10 that are in the same theme for a VJ Loop ? Do you prefer to find the music first and make animations that just go with the music? I’m extremely curious about people’s work processes and what inspires them . Thanks for your time everyone! Cheers!

Hi VJs!
I recently received a project for a small indoor cycling which needs how to operate the lights (LED bars, strips, and some strobes) with the limitation that coaches are always sweating.
I thought about the AKAI MPD218 with a silicone cover but I'm having trouble finding how to connect and/or program this MIDI to the lights.

Do you have any recommendations for both if this MIDI is appropriate for the task and how can I connect the lights to it? TYIA

Hi everyone,

Do you know if it's possible to sync lasers to Resolume ?

What kind of connectics do I need to have to make it work ?

If recently bought this one : Stairville DJ Lase RGB Pro Advanced 2000.

Let me know if one of you knows how to achieve this !

Thanks for ur answers
