SoundSwitch Micro DMX Interface - Ultra-Compact USB to DMX Interface with 3-Month Free SoundSwitch Software Access

I got this to try out DJ lighting using SoundSwitch, as a less-expensive point of entry than buying the Control One. It's been great for my purposes so far.The device itself has been flawless -- my computer sees it and it sends DMX signals without issues.Of course, this is also part of a software ecosystem (via SoundSwitch -- I haven't actually tested whether it works with other DMX software). Overall I think SoundSwitch does a great job at creating interesting light shows that run automatically (i.e. without needing a person controlling the lights or a dedicated light board). It takes a bit of work to get each new type of fixture set up, especially for more complex fixtures that have motion or built-in pre-programmed functions. Once you have your fixtures set up, the built-in automation for creating track-specific light shows is great. There is definitely a learning curve to it, and unfortunately the online resources, while helpful, aren't super-easy to find and aren't collected in a single location. I've found YouTube videos and the SoundSwitch facebook group to be the best sources of information, enough that in a couple of weeks' free time I was able to get everything working that I wanted to.

The media could not be loaded. So I believe the first time I purchased I got a faulty cable. Anyway, I’ve got about 15 hours of total learning and application towards this and I’m still learning the curves of it. It’s getting easier to use and the connection to my Serato is really nice and easy. (You have to have serato dj PRO, it is not capable with the lite. If you use Apple Music subscription you can’t use that music that you download unfortunately even if you buy it. I had to buy all my music elsewhere at 25¢ a song for wholesale price. Still trying to learn some more but I’m making some progress

Buen producto pero mala respuesta del equipo de soporte fallas con el Imusic

If I could give SoundSwitch a 0/5 overall, I would. The concept is incredible, but the execution and finicky-ness of the software makes it a nightmare. I've spent hundreds of hours creating scripted tracks for songs, but WITHOUT FAIL, SoundSwitch NEVER full pulls through on any live performance. Whether it refuses to connect with Serato, or only one USB microDMX port activates, or it just decides that it doesn't want to use half of the scripted tracks and play some horrible autoloops halfway through the show - it is never a consistent experience. I've spent thousands (literally) of dollars upgrading my lighting rig to adapt SoundSwitch in the hopes of providing an immensely more interactive and entertaining experience for my clients - and it was not worth it. In no professional wedding situation do I have time to restart a program half a dozen times, reboot a computer, plug and unplug again and again until a program "kind of" behaves the way I need it too. You can read the manual, contact the company, look at the walk throughs - the thousands of documents they have - and you still won't get the consistency that you need for anything remotely professional. I will change this review if SoundSwitch will contact me and completely straighten out these bugs and inconsistencies. Until then: DO NOT BUY THESE PRODUCTS

This is the smartest thing SoundSwitch could have done. Making an affordable dongle to introduce such a remarkable software for DMX. Previously they had sold this software with a i/o box and listed for $499. I skipped right past it at that price. The star here is the software it is really all I need.Let me explain as an experienced event DJ, I use movers, wash & other effects lights. Ive always wanted more control for my light show. Especially during event formalities. *There is nothing worse then a perfect picture or happy birthday ruined by flashing red or blue dots.This software is so innovative it stops all lights when music stops. Unlike putting a gigbar or any light in sound mode that still flashes when people clap or sing. This software takes all my lights and creates an amazing show not just flashing to beats but static looks running patterns and random. Oh and with full control over all of that at a click! of the mouse.This software is compatable for tons of namebrand an off brand lighting.The dongle it self is so simple to use just plug USB into laptop, NOTE: best thing is you can run DJ software and SoundSwitch software on same laptop no interferences. You can connect dongle to a long DMX cable or a wireless transmitter (donnor).The more time consuming stuff happens in software. By selecting your lights and matching channels. Nothing too hard to worry over.Ok about software yup its 7.99us a month. Which i prefer for now, i dont dj every month so just unsubscribe for a month or two. Eventually I will buy lifetime subscription.

Really like this. DMX controller also came with a 3 months license to use their software and their software was great by the way

I'm a mobile wedding DJ. I have a large library that I didn't want to have to program individually. I also don't DJ more than a few events a year so didn't want something super expensive. It took me a while to get use to the software, but once I did, it worked well. Support from the company was exceptional when I had questions.My one negative about the product is that the software doesn't support computers with Intel based video cards. Which negates the use of a LOT of machines. Luckily, I had a desktop that I wasn't using any longer that had an NVidia card that was supported. But, I had to move all of my DJing tools over to that in order to utilize SoundSwitch properly. So, a little more painful than I anticipated, but once it was all squared away, it worked extremely well for my first wedding and I received a lot of compliments from the wedding party. I will for sure be using this going forward with my sets.
