Hey guys! Welcome back to this entry of Our Words where we are going to discuss the ins and outs of automated audio, video & lighting control. Automation of lighting and audio stems during church services can be a useful tool for creating a more engaging and immersive worship experience. Pro Presenter and Ableton are two popular software programs that can help with this task. Here are five points to consider when using these programs for lighting automation in a church setting:

  1. Pro Presenter is a presentation software that allows users to create and control multimedia presentations. It can be used to display lyrics and other visual elements during worship services.

  2. Ableton is a digital audio workstation that can be used to create and play back music and other audio. It can be used to play backing tracks and other audio elements during worship services.

Both Pro Presenter and Ableton can be linked to a lighting control system, allowing the user to automate lighting changes based on the timing of the presentation or music. Automating lighting can help create a more cohesive and professional-looking worship experience. It can also free up volunteers or staff members who would otherwise be responsible for manually operating the lighting.

Automating Pro Presenter and Ableton for lighting control during church services involves linking the two programs to a lighting control system. This allows the user to automate lighting changes based on the timing of the presentation or music.

To get started, the user will need to have both Pro Presenter and Ableton installed on their computer, as well as a lighting control system. Obsidian Control Systems' Onyx is a lighting control software that can be used to automate lighting changes during church services. It is compatible with MIDI flags from Ableton, a digital audio workstation program.

MIDI, or Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a protocol that allows electronic musical instruments and other equipment to communicate with each other. MIDI flags are a type of message that can be sent via MIDI to trigger events or actions in other equipment.

In the context of using Onyx with Ableton, MIDI flags from Ableton can be used to trigger lighting changes in Onyx. For example, the user could set up a MIDI flag in Ableton to signal a lighting change at a certain point in a song, and Onyx would receive the flag and execute the lighting change accordingly.

This allows the user to automate lighting changes based on the timing of the music, creating a more cohesive and professional-looking worship experience. Overall, using Onyx with Ableton and MIDI flags can be a useful tool for automating lighting changes during church services.
