I make music for therapeutic reasons. I’ve found that immersive visualisations and lights help with this a lot. I’ve already bought a couple of rack-mount spectrum analysers and they are awesome.

Do you know of other devices that provide a similar visual experience? I know there are a bunch of cheap bouncing led bars on ali express and the likes but there is a problem: They work based on microphones. I need to be able to plug them in because I use headphones most of the time.

I know it is kind of niche but any pointers would be appreciated.

      Oh yeah his videos are always interesting. For now I’ve decided to go with a small DMX setup because of its super low latency.

          I haven’t made all the decisions yet but my goal is to have a multi-sensory experience while making music in headphones. Meaning I don’t need a professional light show nor do I want to spend much time programming lights.

          What I am thinking now is I will build a Raspberry Pi based video synth to throw nice visuals on a spare monitor. Then if I want to invest some more I will get a roland vc-1-dmx to convert the raspberry pi hdmi signal to a dmx universe to connect some LED tubes around the studio.
