Newly revised, updated, and expanded second edition! Includes three times more pictures and diagrams, helpful summaries, and example scenarios for a variety of programming situations! Don't be afraid of DMX any longer! For many mobile DJs, DMX seems to be an impossibly challenging and complex mountain to climb. In the second book in his series of guides for mobile DJs, the author explains the ins and outs of all things DMX in a way that is simple to understand and easy to implement. Topics such as how DMX works, purchasing DMX lighting, choosing a DMX controller, and creating exciting light shows are covered in language that anyone can comprehend. Don't worry; this isn't just another article that only covers how to plug in and address your lighting (although those topics are covered too). It goes beyond simply setting up your lights and provides in-depth, detailed walk-through programming guides for the 2 most popular DJ lighting software programs, MyDMX and ShowXpress. It also covers programming on a hardware lighting console and using MIDI controllers. Last but not least, the author shares his personal programming method and offers ideas and inspiration for you to create your own unique and captivating setups.
