  • Setting a lights to respond to music beats…..

    Posted by Ant on September 2, 2005 at 4:35 pm

    Is it possible to set up like four different lights, different colours, and then link them up to a piece of music, so that they can flash on and off to te beat??

    I am aware you can render an audio line to dance to the beat, but can you do it with lights and if so how???

    wud really help!!

    cheers

    You can use the ‘create keyframes from audio’ or ‘render audio to keyframes’ to generate a set of keyframes,…..then you can use a simple expression to offset the values to somewhere between say 0 and 100 using this value to control brightness of the light.

    Although, honestly,…the best way to do this would be with Sound Keys from Trapcode.
