Music visuals for a DJ set: a practical setup guide
Prepare a music-reactive DJ or VJ set with Kamilovision: audio input, world selection, performance cues, quality, and clean audience output.
Prepare the audio path
Feed a compatible audio input from your mixer when your setup allows it, or place the device microphone where the music is clear. On Mac, System Audio can analyze music playing on that Mac. Test the chosen source before connecting the audience display.
Select the intended input. On iPhone and iPad, Automatic prefers a connected USB-C audio interface; otherwise use the device microphone.
Analysis gain changes input sensitivity, including qualified musical cues. Raise it gradually with ordinary music playing; a high meter alone does not prove a clean beat.
Give the set a visual structure
Choose a small group of worlds that fit the mood of the set. Reorder them for a planned progression, or let Adaptive select among those you include. Use Hold to stay inside a world through a track rather than changing on every musical event.
Choose a world in Play Now to switch immediately. Select from Queue Next to prepare a later transition without cutting the current world.
Adaptive chooses and times worlds from music and recent performance history. Ordered follows the included order. Hold stays in the current world until you choose another.
Shape a moment with cues
Rehearse Build, Drop, Breakdown, and Surge before the audience arrives. A cue shapes the visual; it does not control the DJ mixer or music playback. Allow an event to recover so repeated button presses do not overwhelm the world.
Freeze holds visual progression while listening continues. Visuals Off / Blackout makes the output black while the session continues. Press either again to restore it.
Pause Session in Playback Adjustments suspends rendering and audio analysis and keeps the last frame. Resume Session continues from that position.
Rehearse the complete output
Choose quality before the set, check the receiver or projector, and confirm that the audience sees a clean picture. Keep the control device reachable. For timing-sensitive performances, rehearse a wired connection and leave enough time for a sustained heat and frame-pacing check.
Mobile defaults target 30 FPS and Mac targets 60 FPS, unless changed. Native resolution, Extreme fluid detail, layers, and external output can raise heat. Ultra is a quality choice, not a performance guarantee.
AirPlay adds transport delay and shares device and network resources. A wired display is useful for timing-sensitive sets. Apple Music audio routing and visualization output are separate; Help does not change either.
