newbie projection project

Post by vvilcina »

Heya! I got trusted to do some projections for our party, so we have Dj playing and we wanted something a bit more visual, so I found Arena 5 software quite easy to use. I have made some visuals, and added the to Audio FFT, also as I have made them to play Auto Pilot as I want them just going on the loop all night while DJs are playing music.

But I am very confused about the setup :)) more specifically what would I need for the set up. At the moment I am just using composition Audio, but I will need the live audio. Could anyone explain to me what cables do I need to get audio from DJ into my laptop so I can still use Audio to reflect the visuals.

Thank you very much!

First, you will need a mono feed (stereo feed is OK but not necessary) from the DJ into your computer (line in or capture device).

Second, go to Preferences>Audio>External Audio FFT Input and select the source which will allow you to use the External Audio FFT input to animate any parameter to the music

Last, read the manual and have fun discovering what you can do with the animations:
