![]() ![]() The website is extremely helpful in the sense that it points you to additional, compatible hardware for connecting multiple monitors, lights, projectors and so on. The tutorial videos do a great job of guiding you through setup as well as supplying you with many amazing, live performance examples of what is actually possible with all of those special features. I had little difficulty setting up a secondary monitor. You can seamlessly switch between different video clips, and the method in which you trigger a clip (either top or bottom of the physical representation of the clip) will determine whether the clip previews or just goes out to the main video feed. As soon as you start up a clip, you’re outputting live video. So, visual artistry is not only a byproduct of Resolume, it’s inherent by what it is. Also, like Ableton’s Session view, clips can be triggered outside of Columns, in random order. So, one Column (Resolume launches by Column vertically, instead of horizontal, like Scenes) can light up an entire arena (literally) with a full 360 degree performance of light, sound, audio and video (even smoke, if you have one available). ![]() Like Ableton, Resolume (Arena and Avenue) feature a column style mode for launching not only audio but clips of video, layered together with transition effects, lighting cues and much more. Basicsīefore I get in to the advanced features, let's talk about the interface and the ‘every day’ work. When I heard about Resolume and the different packages available, I was quick to move forward on it, as it appeared to handle all of the things I was working towards like live video, live video effects, multiple monitor support, DMX plus plenty of more advanced features (which I’ll get to later), so that I can not only keep up using my investment but maybe even push the envelope a bit. Visuals are an element that have been sorely missing in my live performances for several years and I’d often wondered how I might achieve even a modicum of the brilliance I’ve seen with many of the recent concerts and clubs that I’ve seen that have employed multiple displays, synced with lights, color, music and so on. ![]()
