The most common approach is to position a laptop running the Light Show admin right next to your DJ or audio operator. On a countdown — 3-2-1 — both the DJ and the Light Show operator press play at the same time. Many venues have someone designated to press both buttons simultaneously if they're in the same location. The key is communication and a clear countdown so the music and the programmed flash patterns start in sync. Practice this coordination during your venue test run to get the timing dialed in.
