From DIY
to DI‑WOW.
A handful of par cans, a projector, and the DJ's mixer. sho.run makes a scrappy rig punch way above its weight — and hooks into the stream and the chat, because of course it does.
“Twitch stream plus a warehouse rave. $20 par cans, a projector, and the DJ's mixer — and the chat can fire the drop.”— the DIY warehouse promoter
The night, as it usually goes.
- $20 lights and no way to make them do anything interesting together.
- A projector nobody's figured out how to sync to the music.
- The breaker trips when someone plugs in one more thing.
- You want the magic moment to fire the lights but that's “a whole thing.”
How it actually runs.
Point sho.run at whatever you scavenged. Clone the pars, patch the projector, wire the mixer over OSC, and expose a cue URL to your stream — then let the room (and the chat) run wild.
Chat-fires-cues
HTTP REST so a Twitch bot can hit /cue/fire?name=Drop. The room reacts to the internet.
Power calculator
Estimate total rig draw before the breaker complains. Patch smart, blow no fuses.
Audio-react shaders
A licensed Mac host pumps audio-reactive shaders to the projector when the room needs walls that move.
Speaks the DJ's desk
Talk to a mixer over OSC — the mixer's already there, now it's on the cue list.
Cheap rig, clone it
Mass-clone identical pars with auto-addressing. Ten fixtures patched in seconds.
Runs on your LAN
No cloud required for showtime. Art-Net, sACN, and mixer OSC all run local and fast.
Run your next one with sho.run.
