Ape Labs & Wolfmix Review | EP 6
In this episode, Brian and Brent sit down with Loren to talk about ApeLabs and what they're actually doing differently in the DJ lighting world. They get into the Wolf Mix, the WolfMix Mark III, CRMX technology, and why the Wing integration matters for anyone trying to run a real lighting rig. But this episode goes deeper than gear. Brian and Loren break down why CRI and color temperature are things you should actually understand, not just nod at. They talk about warm white light, RGB vs. RGBAW+UV diodes, chromatic aberration, tunable color temperature, and what all of it means for how a room looks and feels. They also get into gels, presets, ellipsoidal lights for spotlight dances, and how to talk to your videographer before you set up a single fixture. They cover pricing, ApeLabs' place in the pro lighting market, pixel tubes, the role Jacob from Jacob and Lighting Co. has played in educating DJs on lighting craft, and what the market still needs. If you've ever pointed a light at a dance floor without knowing why, this one's for you.
