The final step is connecting the visualizer to your chosen display. Internal mixers, however, will add significantly to your system overhead so make sure you have the processing power and test extensively before rocking it at your next gig! You can also use an internal mixer program like Soundflower to re-route audio within your computer. Arguably the best scenario for routing audio input is to have two computers, one running your music with an output to a second computer, which runs the visualizer and is connected to your display. With an external soundcard, sending the audio source from your DJ program of choice is as easy as plugging two outputs from the mixer into two inputs and then selecting the input in your soundcard’s mixer program. The easiest way to do this is with an external sound card (I’m using the Presonus Audio Box, see our round-up from last year).

In this article, we’ll look at music visualizers you can use to hypnotize your audience and an introduction to Video DJing (VJ) software for some next level displays.Ĭhances are we’ve all used a music visualizer with a media player, but visualizing your DJ set for your audience means finding a way to routing the audio output of your DJ program into the visualizer. Now projected displays in tandem with DJing are popping up at many headliner shows, and even in bars and smaller clubs. I remember mashing my keyboard to bits when Winamp launched over 15 years ago with its trippy, keyboard controlled graphics.
