Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to this field and I was wondering if anyone can tell me the steps in order to make my LED lights react to music being played. I'm using a Sweetlight Remote Controller that is connected to a couple of DMX decoders connected to a bunch of LED strips. I just want to be able to make the LED strips react to music.
Please let me know if anyone might be able to help with this.
Thanks!

Is anyone able to provide some pointers on the matter?

Switch on the "Beat from operating system audio mixer" button.
Open the window "Audio Spectrum" to check you see the audio.
If you do not see the audio, you have to open the "Audio Mixer Panel Control" of the OS Windows and make the necessary changes to see it.
Then the beat will follow the music.
Then in the section "Live", you can edit the "Speed properties" of a scene button and check "Beat" to make it work with the Beat.

Re: Sound to Light tutorial
Thank you so much for the reply, appreciate it!
I was also wondering if there's a way to easily create steps scene instead of having steps for every single change across each device.
I have 25 LED strips placed as a diagonal, I want to create a wave motion in any color. First strip being the brightest and then continuing down the rest of them, making the brightest zone move across all of them moving in a wave like manner.
Is there anyway that can help me create this easily or do I have to do it manually by adding steps and enabling each strip on each step respectively?
By the way, I created a custom fixture for the strips that includes 3 channels.

You can have a look at the sections "Pixels" and even "Generator".
But the Beat option is not available with these ones.
3 channels should be ok for your DMX fixtures, and their name should certainly be "red", "green" and "blue".
For best possible profile, you can ask us to do it for you (https://forum.thelightingcontroller.com ... f=3&t=2453).
