Soundswitch lighting do not work while listening streamed music from bluethooth

[JJ_PG]

Hi all. I am testing bluetooth new option on my prime 4+. Sound is ok, and vumeters show levels correctly. But no light movements or flashing in lights. I only have a pair of moving heads. When i play tracks with or whihout SoundCloud process all ok.

My question IS if this is correct and no reading fader volume when streamed music is played from bluetooth connection.

Thanks. P.d: Sorry if my english IS not good enough

My guess is that SS doesn’t work because there’s no beat grid to follow. Same would apply if you connected a turntable and played vinyl.

Ok. Thanks you very much

It would be good if Engine had an option to analyse incoming audio and create a beatgrid/clock from it. If that’s not been requested yet, it might be worth a try.

May be SS could play Autoloops stored at the begining of the tracks. This way no Sync with music but the lights still working

The autoloops option would be great but combine it with adding a BPM tapper on top of this allowing us to tap out the BPM for an external source.

I have lunched a feature request with this option.

Thanks to everybody helping me.

Automatic light show with external audio out

Hello all ! I’m using SS with my Prime 4, and i happily succeded in connecting my moving heads and led bars. Sadly, i found out that if i play from an external source (in this case a turntable), Engine DJ won’t create an automatic light show based on sound. There is just nithing going on. I can only override color and create a strobe and/or moving effect but that’s all. Only way to have an automatic show i found is to play a track with a beatgrid on another channel, put the fader up and the gain…

Look here, I solved it like this

Thank you. I’ll try the automatic mode (microphone sound detect in lights) assigned to a static configuration button.
