Hi everyone, I wanted to understand with QLC + 5 you can drive the lights with a PC microphone?
let me explain better, I saw that there is the possibility to change the BPM for the rhythm of the lights, and as we all know, all the moving heads not connected in DMX work with its microphone,
and they work to the rhythm of music, so when there is a musical pause the lights stop ... when the rhythm starts the moving heads move.
Is it possible to do it with QLC + 5? if it is .. can someone give me explanations? or tutorial?
Thank you..

I've moved and edited your post.
1) write in the right forum area. Why was this an issue ? Do you know the meaning of the word "issue" ?
2) don't write in italian. This is an international forum
3) don't write everything in bold
4) did you read A SINGLE WORD of the Alpha1 and Alpha 2 announcements ? What part of "incomplete" and "not ready for production" is not clear to you?
5) a tutorial....sure... :joy:

hello Derry, you should look in the download area of ​​this page for a stable version of QLC ... for which there is an extensive and clear manual that sure solves your doubts, anyway, you want your lights to work to the rhythm of the music just connect a microphone? Something similar to what the heads do with their built-in microphone? Well, if the heads bring their microphone and do what you want, what else do you need? In lighting, things must have meaning, not only for when the music ends the chaos, the lighting is an art, if it is for a theater ... to each scene will be assigned lighting accordingly, if it is sad, the lights should make feel sad, if it is dawn, the lights should recreate a sunrise to make the spectator feel that it is dawning ... if it is for music, the lights have to recreate every moment of the song, if it is for a disco, it would be great to have an LJ, (lightjay), that controls some prepreographed lights improvising for each song ..... To achieve all that there are many tools, QLC + is a wonderful tool for it, but if you only need to turn off when the music is finished, you only need a plug ... but the only thing that will make sense is that the music ended :(
