After having been using Soundswitch and ShowExpress, as a solo mobile DJ, I felt that both had shortcomings. After researching some more, I came across your Wolfmix, videos, and jumped right in. Having gotten used to it, I can never look back. Thank you for introducing me to this fabulous standalone DMX controller! Keep the vids coming. We're watching and learning from the master!
@@gaffle-411 I personally found it hard to program, and its main attraction was pulsing or flashing to the beats, which I have now come to realize is not as important as a coordinated light show that is easy to program. The wolfmix presets once programed are all I need to achieve this Plus there’s no monthly subscription or need to connect to wifi to authorize use. Yes, it’s more expensive, but it’s saving me ALOT of time with its ease of use and programming. I hope this helps.
its super limited imho, and geared mainly off of bpm which is not really how lighting shoudl be done in my opinion. this controller far surpasses it especially if you are looking to use moving fixtures, or anything beyond simple uplights. @@gaffle-411
Killer video! I am still learning my WMX1... this makes it a bit easier conceptually. I've been a musician forever and lighting has always stumped me. This piece of gear and your videos are bringing me to where I can serve my clients more completely!
Another great vid Jason. You gave me some new inspiration on a few changes I could do on my WMX1! Thanks. My DJ partner (Separate company, but work on quite a few shows together 15-20 per year) purchased 10 moving heads and both have the WMX1. We program them the same so it doesn't matter if I'm working with him, or he is working with me, the programs are all the same. WMX1 makes that easy! Thanks for all you do for the industry! It is truly appreciated!
@@Jason_Jani I find value in every video of yours I watch! I’ve been in the game 3…. A long time. But I know I can always learn something new or how to improve something. When I watch your videos I’m always thinking “How can I apply this to me/my company.” Thank you for all you do for the industry!
I’m just getting started with this unit and your video was super helpful with how to keep things organized and tidy. Are you also using the WMX1 to control cold spark and cryo?
Just got a wolfy and I'm pumped to release it into the wild. Started with Chauvet Show express, then got a soundswitch and now this. Those lights you have at 2:09 look absolutley fantastic. Best I've seen in the yet, I'll be around, you're a G! I really like how you have everything on a mobile unit, thats genius. Can you reccomend a gobo for the Focus Spot Three Z Pearl? One of mine has a slide that says like "Happy New Year 2019" fortunatley nobody has seen it but me haha
Hey Jason! Great video! I'd love to learn how you are using your Asteras with the Wolfmix. I use Astera Lighting but just use the Art-7 with the app. I'd love to learn how to use them with DMX. Any chance for a video or explanation on that? Thanks a million!!
Awesome Video Jason! How do you get two movers (Say one on each side of the dance floor) to mimic one another, but instead of both moving to the right, they both move towards center of dance floor or throw wash light in the same direction?
Thanks for your tips on the Wolfmix Jason ! It would be awesome to have a double view with a second view on your manipulation on the Wolfmix while you explain :-)
Jason, which movers are you using? Are there two different types of color changing movers? Most of the movers I have seen you can see the color wheel scrolling through, although yours seem to be color mixing? Thanks for the video!
I'm considering this. I'm using dmx 3.0 because I ABSOLUTELY could not work with sound switch and it's ok but still isn't especially without it's issues
Hello Jason, pretty useful video: thank you. a questin: we are a live band, if I create 6 light "moments" for each song section (intro, verse, chorus, etc.), can we trigger this "chain" with just one MIDI note at the beginning and define the individual changes? (e.g., 00:01 intro - 00:30 verse - 01:45 chorus - 02:30 verse (repeat), etc.) hope make sense :D Thank you in advance for your answers.
That's 2100 watts of spots alone. Your venues will have to provide several power drops for everything. I would imagine you do some really nice venues though.
Do you know if it would be possible to use two wireless dmx transmitters, one connected to soundswitch for the scripted tracks, and when I want to go manual, use a 2nd wireless transmitter on the wmx1 to override soundswitch and take over with wmx1 ?
Hey man, thanks so much for your video. So I’m looking for a new light show designing interface and strongly looking at this model. I’m seeing several comments saying that this controller is inefficient and challenging with regard to programming moving heads - what are your thoughts on that? Thanks a ton for your time!!
Would have been super helpful to see what you were pushing when explaining this. because not sure what you were using for the uplights to stay 1 color. were you in Color or live edit?
@@Jason_Jani I hope my comment did not come off as rude. Just excited about what your doing. Been waiting for someone to talk about how they configured the presets for a bit. By color, by mood, etc... Good stuff.
My question to Jason or anyone who owns this is is there a benefit to upgrading from showxpress? It seems like once you have your program situated it functions the same or is there an added bonus aside not having to use a computer
IT IS LIGHT YEARS BEYOND SHOW EXPRESS... YOU HAVE THE SAME IF NOT MORE CONTROL, AND EASILY CAN EDIT YOUR SHOWS WHILE THEY ARE RUNNING SO YOU CAN SHIFT THE WAY THINGS ARE WORKING.
Great video! Can you tell me, which Moving Heads you are using so that you can get smooth colour fades? Colour wheels change always looks a little "abrupt".
Can you control the master dimmer? Loads of programs but then the room itself might be bright/dark so you need to adjust the dimmer overall. Group lock?
Thanks for the video, brother! I have been using mydmx GO for a while. It has a lot of bugs and doesn't utilize all 512 DMX ch out of the box I have several different lighting brands, including chauvet, Rockville, Shehds, and Both lights. Does it pretty much have most every fixture brand your going to see in it?
It has tons of brands, but the Best thing is that you can do your own fixture and its super easy to make. There are some videos which shows you how yo make those. It just take you few minutes (depending hoe many channels)
But can it work with Chauvet lights? And refresh on how to set the channels on the lights. How did you program the shows and assign the number of lights.
Thanks for not jus reviewing the unit but showng some concrete examples. Really appreciate that ❤
No problem!

Great Video Jason. I purchase this unit a few months ago and you really did a great job showing what it can do . Much respect !!

@@tayloredentertainmentllc thank you. That means a ton to me.
Your lighting setup looks amazing J! Thinking of investing in the Wolfmix asap!
Go for it!
Ordered this weekend! :) @@Jason_Jani
Love my Wolfmix! Thank you for that tip about locking the group!!! I didn't know that! Very helpful!
Hi Jason, thanks for this super helpful video. Specifically which moving heads are you using?
i was wondering the same thing
I definitely have some programming to do great insight Jani
thanks
great video ! the usage of the different lighting fixtures with corresponding banks and pages I'm learning how to "mix and match" as well
Awesome, just picked it up, will be at the office next week to set up!
I love this device so simple and time as and space saving . Great video.
It really is!
I’m just getting started with this unit and your video was super helpful with how to keep things organized and tidy.
Are you also using the WMX1 to control cold spark and cryo?
Thank you and no I use a proper controller for those so there is independent control of the units.
Super helpful video!
Another great video. Love the light fixtures.

You can also play by column or random as well.

Amazing video! I am so curious to learn about the potential of this controller!
You should!
Thanks for your tips on the Wolfmix Jason ! It would be awesome to have a double view with a second view on your manipulation on the Wolfmix while you explain :-)
Thanks for the idea! maybe when i do the next one
Great stuff. Can’t wait to see one with the ax1’s 😮
Ok now include the ax1 with the art7 and you have the perfect show! Astera with that thing is incredible
Are you using the AX1 with it? I’ve been trying to find a way to connect what already exists with the iOS iPad app scenes with this.
Sounds like a plan
@@Jason_Jani it is trust me you will never look back!
@@kirbykracklemusic it works great and super easy to create scene with this
I’ve been working with the Asterabox for the past two days and for the life of me I can’t connect them. Gahh
Very helpful ty. Does locking the group also lock and keep the Color FX and Beam FX.?
Ill have to check that out this weeknd
Very Dope too bad this wasnt aroun 4 years ago when we purachsed 2 laptops and Spent SOOO MANY hours programming so many shows LOL
🙌🏼 thanks for sharing!!
My pleasure!!
Hey Jason...love your videos very insightful. What do you recommend for wireless dmx? We are currently using Chauvetdj D-Fi XLR.
Those are pretty sweet
Those uplights (wider model) looks great...what make and model is that?
They are imported. @@premiereventsgroupinc.9958

you should check this out for real
Where do you set your fan when you are setting positions and boundaries?
Are you using Doners or cables? I use Doners, but looking for stronger reception for more responsive movement.

I think anyone who said that has not done the work on learning how to use the unit properly.
What moving heads are you using in this video?
Chauvet Pro Force S Spots
Would have been super helpful to see what you were pushing when explaining this. because not sure what you were using for the uplights to stay 1 color. were you in Color or live edit?
Agreed. We need to see the screen
Sorry about that
@@Jason_Jani I hope my comment did not come off as rude. Just excited about what your doing. Been waiting for someone to talk about how they configured the presets for a bit. By color, by mood, etc... Good stuff.
@@Jason_Jani don't be sorry. You're providing amazing content. Just curious to see how your presets look, etc.
I own one and im pretty sure (becasue is easier) that is in color [static] and the other ones that are changing, in ColorFx

I like using amber closer to sunset
yes sir
Starting with uplighting with this. Do I need to assign each uplight a different channel to get them to chase?
What’s the name of the movers pls n thanks
Wow .. amazing show.. thank you ..
Thanks coach! Can I add fixtures to an existing scene without messing it up or do I need to recreate the whole scene ? Great vid! Thank you
You can keep adding fixtures or whatever to the Presets (scenes). I own one and its super easy yo control
YES YOU CAN
Great video! Can you tell me, which Moving Heads you are using so that you can get smooth colour fades? Colour wheels change always looks a little "abrupt".
CHAUVET MAVERICK FORCE S SPOTS
@@Jason_Jani Thanks a lot for your quick reply! Unfortunately slightly out of budget for me ;)
Can you control the master dimmer? Loads of programs but then the room itself might be bright/dark so you need to adjust the dimmer overall. Group lock?
YES YOU CAN
@@Jason_Jani Via the group lock? Literally was fumbling around at my last event looking for this feature haha
@@_westy_ Home Screen and left dial is master dimmer
What kind of case are you using to travel with the WolfMix?
I got a small portable case, ill do a video on it tomorrow
Thanks for the video, brother! I have been using mydmx GO for a while. It has a lot of bugs and doesn't utilize all 512 DMX ch out of the box

Those are Chauvet maverick force s spots in the vide
@@Jason_Jani do you tell it in the menu they are chauvet lighs?
@@Jason_Jani so i just plug in the lights and they work like that? Hard to believe.
@@FlatEarthSovereign NO YOU HAVE TO PROGRAM THEM. YOU CHOULD LOOK AT THE OTHER VIDEOS HERE ON THE CHANNEL...
@@FlatEarthSovereign YES YOU MUST SELECT THE SPECIFIC FIXTURES YOU ARE USING
What happened with lock the group and it was not locked?
Good catch! I didn’t lock it and then i did lol
Jason...Would you consider this unit hard to learn?
I WOULD NOT
What model lights are you using?
Chauvet force s spots
What do I need to do, to go wireless?
donner wireless works well and is inexpensive or i heard shehds makes a good one that lasts longer.
how many DMX universes are you using ?
right now 1 fully
