I need a GrandMA3 programmer who can build a fully-timecoded lightshow for an electronic set in a club environment. The set runs one hour and I already have the audio timeline prepared; what’s missing is a dynamic cue stack that syncs perfectly with the track markers. Because the room is a club, I want tight, punchy looks that suit low ceilings yet still feel immersive. Expect heavy use of strobe accents for drops, rich colour washes during breakdowns, and razor-sharp beam effects that cut through haze without blinding the crowd. If you think additional moments—like subtle pixel mapping or blinder hits—would elevate the show, I’m open to creative suggestions as long as they stay within the MA3 ecosystem and on the same timecode track. Deliverables • GrandMA3 show file (.xml or .show) with all fixtures patched to my provided fixture list • Timecode track fully programmed with cues, delays, and fade times aligned to my marker spreadsheet • PDF or simple text notes outlining fixture usage and any macros I will supply: – Fixture plot and addresses – Audio file with embedded SMPTE and separate cue sheet – Remote access window for on-console testing if needed The project is considered complete once the show file loads on my MA3 and runs the timeline from start to finish without manual intervention, matching the requested strobe, colour wash, and beam moments. Let me know your turnaround time and any previous electronic club shows you have programmed on MA3.

This is about building a GrandMA3 show file that syncs a one-hour electronic music set with an existing audio timeline. You need a dynamic cue stack that hits track markers precisely. I'll build this using MA3 software, focusing on effects that work in a club with low ceilings, so tight beam looks that cut through haze but don't blind people, also strobe accents for drops and deep colour washes for breakdowns. For the creative suggestions, I'd lean towards subtle pixel mapping on existing fixtures if they support it, also blinder hits timed to musical peaks. The most common failure on this kind of job is a cue stack that drifts from the timecode, so I’ll set up the MA3 show file to use linear timecode input and monitor the timecode precisely, also implementing manual overrides for any playback issues so the show stays locked. I have a 5.0 rating across 10 reviews on here, and Preferred Freelancer status. What are the specific fixture types you have in the rig? We can have a short call on Freelancer to settle the scope, covering fixture list confirmation and the exact workflow for integrating your audio timeline.

Hello, I’m a Lighting Designer and grandMA3 Programmer with around 5 years of professional experience in the live entertainment industry, working on concerts, festivals, clubs, and live productions. I regularly program lighting for artists and live bands, so I’m comfortable working both with electronic music and with more complex live performances where the lighting needs to follow the musical structure, dynamics, breaks, drops, and key moments of the show. My main platform is grandMA3, and I work with showfile preparation, timecode programming, cue stacks, phasers/effects, macros, layouts, fixture patching, busking workflows, MVR/GDTF, and DMX networking. For your project, I can build the complete one-hour timecoded grandMA3 show, using your audio, SMPTE, cue sheet, fixture plot, and patch. I can create the beam, wash, strobe, blinder, and other looks around the musical structure while keeping the programming organized and practical for a real live environment. I can also test and adjust the show remotely with you before final delivery. I’d be happy to discuss the fixture list and your creative direction before starting, so I can understand exactly what kind of energy and visual identity you want for the set. Best regards, Cristian Voicu Lighting Designer & grandMA3 Programmer
