1.8 Using The Audio Analysis

Real-Time Audio Analysis For Synchronized Effects

With a sound card and the unique Music2Light real-time effects, MADRIX will deliver a light show

that is 100% synchronic to the music. MADRIX analyzes audio signals in real time and plays LIVE

shows. In contrast to lighting consoles and other software solutions, the MADRIX light show runs

automatically and synchronously to the music. You can use the real-time audio analysis with any

audio source, e.g. audio-CD, record player, tape, MP3, WMA, microphone, etc.

Getting Started

If you want to use the Sound2Light (S2L) or Music2Light (M2L) effects, the audio

analysis needs to be activated. MADRIX automatically activates the "Audio" button, and hence

the audio analysis, if you select a S2L or M2L effect.

An activated "Audio" button in green color indicates that the MADRIX audio analysis is running.

Otherwise the audio analysis is stopped and not activated. If you want to use only static effects

(e.g. SCE Color, SCE Color Ramp, ...), you do not have to start the audio analysis.

Next, please adjust/control the volume with the volume fader. The visualization shows the

input level of your music. Just move the fader upwards if you want a higher audio input level.

Move the fader downwards if you want a lower audio input level.
