Hi all,
I am new here and would like to say hello to everyone passing through. So my project that I've start is based on building a sound activated DJ LED booth. I've search the forums everywhere and I couldn't really find a step-by-step on create the display with the teensy 3.0 and what materials are needed. I've did order some items from the net to get this project started as most of the items take 2 weeks to get here from China. So far I've ordered 20 meters of WS2811 with 60LEDS/meter, which I plan to cut up into 1 meter strips for a 4ft x 4ft display. I also purchased 2 5V 60A 300W power supplies to power everything. I was on the PJRC website and was looking to order 2 Teensy 3.0, one for each 600 LEDs. From what I read I figured this would be a good split since there's a total of 1200 LEDs and then use the sync feature for both Teensy to control the LEDs. Next I saw a SD reader to attach a Teensy board (I'm assuming I only need one of these since they will both be synced?). Now here is where I was running into unanswered questions. What equipment do I get to have the LEDs be sound activated with the programs that are installed on the SD card? i was hoping to get a LED display going that changed/reacted to sound while I'm playing music. I did see some items on Adafruit's learning site but wasn't sure exactly what would work. Sound card? Microphone? Tiny music visualizer? I saw this on vimeo (http://vimeo.com/66302375) and was inspired to do something similar with sound control. I also use DJ software serato which has scrolling text for videos and was wondering if there was a way to link that text to the LED display, but that might be for later. I was thinking of creating a "box" to encapsulate all this on a breadboard and was looking for advice on all the components that I would need for this project. Sorry in advance if there is something out there already on a tutorial to build this. I have looked in quite a few places and did forum searches to find a tutorial and did find anything. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

PS. I would like to share my build as the project moves along so that I can maybe create a tutorial from what I learn to help others.
