    Metronome Strobe Light

    I'm not the first to bring this up but I haven't seen a solution so here goes... The band I'm rehearsing with needs to play with more consistent tempo to tighten up and improve our groove. Not everyone has the discipline of playing with an IEM click track, so I wanted to trying triggering an LED...

    Does anyone know if such a thing exists? I'd love to be able to run a DXM sound-activated light using my always on tuner-out. I found this for https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/control-dmx-lights-raspberry-pi Raspberry Pi, but I figure I'd ask if anyone's done this sort of thing.

    XLR and DMX cables

    Anyone hacked a lighting controller for direct triggering?

    Not strictly Live Sound but this is about triggering lights directly with sound.

But often I find the music level is either too quiet or too loud, resulting in poor...

    Midi help needed

    I've got a DMX lighting controller (Elation DMX Operator) and a midi foot pedal (Ground Control V2 by DMG). I can't figure out how to get these things to talk to each other. I reset the Ground Control to factory settings. Put both on midi channel 1 and plugged in a midi cable between the two...
