Hi everyone
am a newbie to this forum and the entire VJ art.
I am basically a solo musician using Ableton Live as my DAW/Sequencer along with several hardware. After doing a few live shows i realized it would make better impact to combine visuals with music. With that aim i have started preparing a basic roster of theme based video clips and have decided to go with Resolume (over Livid DNA and Arkaoss) as my main visual workstation for now as with my base knowledge all i am looking for is to trigger and manipulate clips/vidoeos. A few answers and advice I am seeking:
1. I have seen videos with ability to trigger clips on resolume through ableton live- Is this an ideal set up for live performance and any practical advise on instability or other issues to watch out for? My lap top is windows based i fairly decent on processor (dual core) , HDD (SSD) and graphics card (radeon 2000 HD series)
2. I am looking at investing in the matrox dual head to go , to drive two projectors . Any views on this?
3. What would be the desired and cost effective footage resolution i should go for ? I am looking at buying some non HD footage/clips
From a future upgrade stand point, what would be a good hardware/software combo VJ Rig- something cost effective and value for money.
thanks in advance
