Where CueSync is different
15 Output Protocols vs 1
SoundSwitch outputs DMX only. CueSync speaks OSC, MIDI Show Control, GrandMA, Resolume, QLab, and more — connect to any rig.
Any Audio Source
SoundSwitch reads your DJ software's analyzed beat grid. CueSync analyzes any audio input live — vinyl, CDJs, Ableton, or a mic.
Real-Time Analysis
CueSync's beat detection runs in real time on a sub-5 ms budget. No pre-analyzed beat grids needed — it adapts to tempo changes, live mixing, and unexpected transitions.
Console Integration
Trigger GrandMA macros, Resolume clips, and QLab cues directly from audio events. SoundSwitch can't talk to professional lighting consoles.
Where SoundSwitch Wins
A free tier, a Windows build, native Serato and Engine DJ beat-grid integration, and its own DMX hardware ecosystem. CueSync is macOS-only today, has no free operating tier, and has no Serato or Engine DJ integration. If you run Serato on Windows and only need DMX out, SoundSwitch is the cheaper right answer.
