It can influence the mood of the crowd or audience and ensure everyone has fun. The light should enhance the mood of the music and give the feeling of effortless cohesion.

The more Lumen the brighter the light, the higher the contrast the better. For a decent home party we would go with 2000 Lumen and a 1000:1 Contrast. Where is the difference to a real laser show? Of course a projectors light is not as bright as a laser, apart of that, there are no limitations on the effects. If you´re able to write your own effects you could even imitate the laser-effects you like. Can I use SoundToLight effects with MusicBeam? We know of 'beamer to light', 'sound to light' or 'beamer as light' from Klomeister.

But it's aperently discontinued by Klomeister. Builds this entire software from scratch to be easy to use and available for all operating systems. Therefore ther is no compatibility with SoundToLight nor any link between both projects.
