Awesome device
It takes few minutes to figure out whats going on and then you dive into real game. As a light technition that works with Compulite, Ma2, Onyx, this plug works nice, gives alot of choices and programming options. The presets are good.

Best Option for Automated Lighting
So I can give my feedback having used this as well as SoundSwitch.So as far as plug and play, I think this comes pretty close to what I was looking for, I already use rekordbox and all you have to do is analyze the songs for phrasing, and it will automate the lights to go along with the music. The automated program for the songs would usually end up on the "cool" preset which is pretty slow moving, but it is easy to set to the "club 2" or "vivid" presets which were both pretty good. Like others have said the control is pretty basic, the moving heads slowly go back and forth and lights flash in rotation. I found the best lights for the automated presets is having 3 to 4 par lights, and it will automate some pretty cool things. The automated scripts for rekordbox lighting were much better than what soundswitch automated.So from there you can go into each song separately and program your own things, but that's where it starts getting really lacking. Cut and paste is really weird, you can't hold and drag select more than one light at a time, everything is like a right click and then edit, you can't just press the spacebar to play/pause the song for some reason, its all very tedious.. I think Soundswitch was much better for programming speedwise, but overall they do have the same features, it just takes time. And like others have said it's only basic controls, brightness, color, strobe, move. Another annoyance is that none of the lighting will export, so you can't set all your lighting up and then export it to a thumb drive, you need to analyze, edit, script and setup all the lighting on the computer you are going to perform with.Anyway, I think it is the best option for having synced up lighting when you are just performing yourself, its pretty easy to automate some basic stuff, it just gets tedious when you want more advanced. I picked it up used for about $250 and am happy with it, $350 is a tougher sell. Btw I returned the Soundswitch, it was $35 and then another $200 or monthly subscription for the software.

Why I'm returning my RB-DMX1
I love the idea of Rekordbox Lighting - imagine rocking up to a show with a USB key, plugging it in and having all the club lights sync up to your music. Not having to pay a lighting guy's flights hotels and fee to pantomime the venues lights along with your set.I have a low pressure gig coming up next month so I decided to give Rekordboxâs lighting functionality a shot. After 3 days of extensive testing the RB-DMX1, Iâve decided that it has a-lot of potential but Iâm going to be returning it and waiting until the Rekordbox developers get their act together.Hereâs a list of things I'd like fixed before re-purchasing:1. THE SOFTWARE:a) Building custom automations is slow and clunkyTo get any decent looking results need to custom animate each song, which is fine, but the automation system leaves a-lot to be desired - developers should take a cue from Abletonâs automation and itâs ease of use. Having the ability to zoom out a-lot further would help with copying big chunks across the track structure.b) Custom automations donât propagate across newly added fixtures:When you custom automate a track in âMacro Editorâ, it should be by fixture type (Par Light 1, Strobe, etc..) not by the exact fixture model. Hereâs the reason:Say youâve built custom animations for 100 songs, and everything is syncing up perfectly on your home lighting rig. You show up to a nightclub and they donât have the exact Par Light you tested with at home, but they have a similar one. You would then have to copy over automations on 100+ tracks before your show in order to make it work⊠this is impossible. If custom automations were done by fixture type, you could then just change the model of Par Light in your fixture library and everything would be fine. This would be so easy to fix, probably 5 lines of code - Iâm really surprised the developers let that one slipThis is the main reason why I wont be touring with the RB-DMX1.c) Software is Laggy and SlowI have a fast computer and the lighting section runs as if it was on an old windows 95 machine⊠stutters around the screen and when you click play it doesnât register half the time.d) No shortcuts?Simply pressing spacebar to play would be be a good start - and so easy to implement, lazy programming.e) UpdatesAt first I thought maybe this was released this in beta, with the intent to use customers as beta testers? But Iâve seen that the lighting software side hasnât been updated since launch, which makes me think they might not even intend to proceed with development.2. THE HARDWARE:a) RB-DMX1 shouldnât require a computer for performances.The industry standard dj setup is 2 x CDJ2000s a DJM900 mixer and NO COMPUTER. The CDJâs and DJM have enough processing power to read and send the automation data through their USB ports to the RB-DMX1.DJâs should be able to prepare their lighting in Rekordbox and export the tracks to USB with lighting automations included (maybe the lighting automations could be in .JSON files in a separate folder on the USB).Adding some rudimentary control of the lighting/fixtures on the CDJ menus would be logical. This could be a bit tricky to implement but is 100% possible, and would give Rekordbox a competitive edge against SoundSwitch.b) It could be way smaller:Itâs not big, but at this size it should at least include a 5-pin DMX port as-well. See âuDMXâ or âENTTEC Open DMX USBâ for size comparison. Maybe one day they could just build it into the DJM-900, itâs essentially just an XLR out.All in all, I think the Rekordbox dev team could make this 100 times better with just a few lines of code, but lack of updates and general sloppiness makes me think they donât really care about it so I canât in this moment recommend the RB-DMX1.I could be wrong though, I remember the Rekordbox software was garbage when the first CDJ2000s were released and now it runs well - I'm rooting for Rekordbox lighting!!
