I’m playing around with lots of smarthome stuff lately and I had a nice idea. I’d like my recordingroom/vocalbooth light to go to RED, as soon as I hit the Record-button in Cubase.
Is there any way I could detect externally that I’m recording? Or trigger something from Cubase externally?
It’s not? Steve posted two options, one commercially available and one DIY, of devices that can turn an external light on when you’re recording in your DAW. It sure sounded like that was what you were looking for. Can you be more specific then?
No, I don’t care if it comes directly from Cubase or if I have to read it from inside Cubase. As long as I have some kind of trigger visible OUTSIDE of Cubase.
Could be ‘visit an (ajax) website when you click record’ or ‘write a file’ or even ‘start a program’. But it has to be something I can trigger my software on.
And being in ICT myself… I’m not gonna fiddle manually with my phone, of course. I’m a nerd for a reason
I see.
I’m not familiar enough with Home Automation to say if or how it can be achieved, but HA must be able to receive MIDI. If it can, then you’re golden.
