LJ? Lighting Operator, Lighting Programmer, or Lighting Designer. LO/LP/LD

@@ABeatAhead Light Jockey, like in Disc Jockey

I'm curious what side of the industry calls it that. I've never heard that initial before. @@ctm92

never say that again@@ctm92

@@ctm92 the lighting guy is an LD or OP

Yeah that´s what an LJ is

Light Jockey ;) instead of Disc Jockey

More like - Mixing engineer of lights

LD- light designer

It’s so far removed from what djs do, that likening it to DJing is actually probably very disrespectful. Vjing is a lot closer to DJing than what an LD does, unless the vj has actually made the content they are playing back and effecting.

Yup! Its done manually and automatically depending on the DJ or band on stage

It depends where you are. Most concerts will preprogram lights. Where your going to see live lighting is in a club or somewhere with a DJ. I’m running lights live this weekend for a small band.

After us, you always come with your music wishes 😂

he mostly configures all the effects and stuff before hand you can even do it at home on your PC with the dot 2 program and then he selects what he wants to do on the screen and uses the faders to transition between the chases or presets. i never did anything this crazy so i could be missing stuff but its kinda that, the thing is knowing what will look good with the songs

but only at bigger fests and tour LD's have Ma The avolites kitty kitten tiger touch 2 owns the place at smaller places

lighting company is wolf productions! the best of brazil

that's the thing when you're the best ;)

It’s actually not too hard to sync it to midi you just have to pre program everything which wouldn’t work with a dj

Thats not true. Hes running live lights on a GrandMA console

@@eosiswastakenI think superspooky63 meant because it's also an art to see, just like the artist on stage. :)

@@eosiswastaken that was not the point of his comment, he or she probably knows it isn't, it's just stating that it's a form of art so that it should be recognized that way

@@rikzel Bingo

It’s actually kinda both since he has to know what songs will be performed in the concert and also has to see what the artist is doing on stage to make the lights react to the performance, it’s honestly a cool job to do

I'm kinda late to this but you can see at the left of the video there's a macbook with different waveforms, well, thats exactly whats happening at the DJ booth on real time (he can see when the drop is coming, how long is the track, when is the other track playing etc.), but that's not always the case, most of the time LJs work blind, so basically, reacting to the music.

@@rbgnx Ohhh yeah that makes sense! Thanks for the answer!

You have thousands of possibilities to change the light and must know every song beforehand. With 95% of the songs, you simply know what's coming, as the individual styles usually differ little.

I think he's just the resident lighting operator, club looks pretty big and he is using an MA, so, per night around 150€ - 300€ could be fair.

good bucks if ur all time fav to do things like these ​@@rbgnx

There are specific times where that actually happens we call it time code but when the DJ plays live we have only a general idea what they are going to play but the rest is manual.

Thats because the DJ changes the set every night, in some shows it is programmed but if its programed then you have to use a prerecorded set which some people don't like

You have pre-programmed individual things, such as that the lights circle, then you still have a flicker that you put on it, and the color. In principle, you have hundreds of possibilities that you can pre-program and in the end only have to put together to create a reasonable show. Of course, this is even more complicated

RekordBox it syncs with the decks and displays what’s currently playing on them.

Grand MA2

Grand MA

Grand MA 2 Full Size

looks like a grandma 2 full size

Start by going to local venues that have some light system, and ask around if you can either volunteer or work in the tech field with them. Once you've started, you'll get to know people and get places
