ALIAS you guys are over explaining what we said Thriving to be like someone doesn’t mean to be a copy of him nor copy his work Being in the music business wether you are a musician, an audio technician, or a lighting technician is no easy pickle it takes big effort And we are hoping to land a career and future just like his doing the thing we love the most just like him
How can anyone dislike this? Christian, you've given such an inside perspective on these shows that some of us walk away from, totally amazed at the production quality. Thank you for your awesome videos.
He finally returns!!!!

Your videos are a life saver for people like me who are working our way up in the industry! Thank you, your the best❤️
There are not many light shows that make me audiblely be increased but that drop at "forgive me for my wrongs I have just begun" was fucking unreal💦💦
Just started programming on grandMA2 on Pc because of you! Thanks a lot for all those very very damn cool videos they've helped me a lot and i hope you'll upload a new one soon!
Congrats man! I’ve got my first Red Rocks show in May also! Unbelievably stoked!
Excellent video. Love how you went through an explained the setup here.
You and the sound guys are the real MVP at live shows. Appreciate what you do, man.
Congrats bro shots from the show look fucking insane

I've been doing lights at a local club and some small stages at festivals. Its pretty cool to see how it all works with these largeer productions. Just found your channel and im definitely following this. Good stuff!
Another awesome video Christian. I honestly hope to be in your shoes one day. Keep inspiring 👌

Congrats dude! Well deserved accomplishment - do the Mahi get the treats!
So awesome
Absolutely insane!
Yeeeeess new video!
looking dope af
So cool Video pleas more 😇
Seeing this makes me curious about Rampage's light programming, has to be next level
what's your USB flash drive you using ? it seem good for CDJ
I went to Bisco Infurno at Red Rocks and can attest to it being one of if not the greatest venue I’ve ever been to, I have a soft spot for my home town of Chicago’s Northerly Island venue that has the entire skyline in the background tho...
Love these videos! Could you do a more simple explanation of how to create a show based off smaller portions of gear? Maybe an affordable setup for beginners. I would love to know more about light rigs as an musician and how the DMX universes really work! Great content!
Great job... Um abraço de Portugal:)
So cool , the lights make this show "lit" AF .
good shit man congrats
Amazing job greetings from perú🇵🇪
Congrats man! Red rocks is the shit, go CU!!!!
I find these videos fascinating. I am a full time musician in Ottawa Canada, been playing music all my life, and I have seen a slow but steady decline in the live music scene. I do not think my line of work will ever completely disappear, but in some sense, I feel like the digital age is a fully loaded freight train hurtling down the tracks with no breaks and at this point it is just an unstoppable force, and seeing things like this on KZread, I can see why. These DJ's are the new age rock stars, and with the slickness in production paired with incredible light shows, its just an overload of the senses, and you cant help but be mesmerized. These visual spectacles are pretty awesome I must say, and I thank you for these videos, its awesome to see what goes into this.

2 years later and I watch this video and it appears KZread muted some of it... What a shame KZread
NICE
I really want to get into lighting design and operation
You're this guy I really want to get to meet mainly so I can quit my day job and get closer into A/V. Help me quit fixing shitty computers Christian!!!
i want this job
Hey Christian, I've watched your videos for quite a while and love them. Has definitely influenced my programming style a lot. You mentioned you did a video on the JDC-1, but I can't seem to find it. Do you have a link to where it is? I'd love to see your thoughts on it as I'm considering specing it into a show I'm doing. Thanks!!!
Nice MA3 clothing :D
hey christian congrats on your red rocks show :) you mention that you have done a video about the GLP JDC1 but I can't find it anywhere? i what do you think about led strobes in general? have you tried one that matches a rowdy atomic? :)
Are you controlling the pyro as well? I've just recently found you with in the last year as well as MA2 onpc. Thanks to you. I just got hired for a company called CSD group for lighting. Super stoked and scared all at the same time. Jumping into the fire has got me this far so wish me luck\m/
Jesus christ, never realised lighting at these edm shows were so complicated to setup, i guess i never really thought about how it was done

Man I’m a amateur pyrotech and I have started doing a DMX laser/light pre-shows in front of my fireworks and I think I’m having more fun with my damn lights these days. lol
Man you are awesome dude! When i make it as a dj im gonna hire you lmao😂
One day man.. One day I'm gonna play a set here.
How the heck do you get into doing this kind of stuff? I have always been so fascinated with the lighting and effects, would be a dream job.
Damn the fun part about being a lighting engineer you get to see the concert for free😂. Hey jackson.what mic or camera do you use to record the concert performances. Its so clear with bass and no distortion I'm just shocked and curious how you do it
Red rock is a lit place went to see marshmello in the night was amazing
Did you help with the lights for Zomboy at The Rave in Milwaukee for new years last year? That was an insane light show.
Would be nice to see whole shows of your work. Was the colorwheel on that sharpy at SL messed up the whole show?
The tunnel would give me anxiety 😢. This is very cool though
I Wish red rocks will paint the back rocks to white and projection map it it will look fucking sick
A question What did you study to be an engineer in lighting Greetings from México 🇲🇽
