Garagecube team, it would be massively helpful if MiniMad Light could play audio files in lock step with DMX sequences, without using outside hacks. I'd imagine this would be much more complex than simply playing a video w/ audio (like MiniMad Video), but here's an idea:
In MadLight recorder (in MadMapper), what if there was an option to *record* audio on a selected audio interface while MM is recording DMX/Artnet output. That way, audio and the light sequence get recorded together, and ideally get played back together on the MiniMad. This would revolutionize how people make permanent LED installations with MiniMad and basically provide feature parity with MiniMad Video.
Or an alternative idea, if recording the audio for MadLight is too cumbersome: allow MiniMad Video and MiniMad Light units to synchronize with eachother (like pure MiniMad Video units can), and use the MiniMad video to play a video with only audio. Or even get a hybrid LED + projector setup running together, which would be amazing.
I kind of expected MiniMad to support all of this before I purchased two of them, and unfortunately they haven't been very helpful to me without these features (at least for DMX/Artnet). I'm looking forward to a richer feature set for MiniMad in the future!
Thanks,
