Showing the stage: camera, full screen, projector, recording
For client meetings or just to try things out, you can show the stage large, on a second screen or as a video. The tools are at the bottom right of the stage.
Step by step
- Camera angle: “Front”, “Wide” or “Top”. You can also rotate the 3D stage freely with the mouse.
- “Camera orbit”: the camera slowly circles the stage. Tap again to stop it.
- “Overview”: instead of 3D you see each light as a color tile. Tap again to go back to 3D.
- “Haze”: the slider makes the haze in the preview denser, so the beams are easier to see.
- “Stage window”: the stage opens in its own window. Drag it to the second screen or projector. It always shows what is running in live mode.
- “Full screen” (or V): live mode fills the whole screen. Press V again to leave full screen.
- “Record”: records the stage as a video. The button then says “Stop”. Tapping “Stop” ends the recording and saves the video.
More from “Live mode”
- Opening live modeLive mode plays all Autoloops, static looks and song shows of your project on the 3D stage, and you control them the way you do on the night: on the computer, on the PRIME 4 or on the Control One. That way you see how your shows work together before the gig.Summary
- Live Desk: control your show while you DJThe Live Desk is your own MIDI surface for SoundSwitch: on your computer, tablet and phone. It comes mapped to your show, with the names and colors of your loops and looks. There is nothing to learn or map.Summary
- Spot Director: guide your movers from your phone on the nightWith Spot Director you guide your moving heads from your phone or tablet during the event. Tap the floor and all selected heads go there together. Drag your finger and they follow the couple across the dance floor.Summary
- Choosing the controls: Perform, PRIME 4, Control One, StageAt the top of live mode you choose what the controls look like. Each layout recreates a device, so you pick your shows the same way you do on the night.Summary
- Playing Autoloops and static looks liveIn the “Perform” layout you see SoundSwitch 2.11 in Performance mode, just like on your laptop after clicking “MIDI”: the same tabs, buttons, colors and spacing. You play Autoloops and static looks there just as on the night.Summary
