About Effect Machines

Effect Machines are a popular way of making live events and parties lively and exciting. Using smoke, snow, and bubble effects, they create an artificial atmosphere and give the audience an experience they are craving for.

Events are all about experiences. And a lot of it comes down to the atmosphere around you. The lights, the colours, the sounds, and the people around you will decide whether you are going to remember the event for a lifetime or feel like running away from it. That is why it is imperative to create an atmosphere that reflects the mood of the event. It is like one of the major parts of it that you must get right. Read this article to find out more about various kinds of effect machines and the difference between them. Having an understanding of them will help you make the right choices when you shop.

Different types of effect machines

Effects are to an event what condiments are to food. Just like too much of it can be bad, too little of it can also make it unpleasant. If you want to get all parts of the atmospheric effects right, you need to invest in all the right types of effect machines. Well, there are a whole bunch of them. But there are a few of them that are considered vital to any event. Here is a list of four most popular types of effects machines that you can use to spice up any event.

Bubble machines

Bubble machines are useful for weddings, small gatherings, private parties, and corporate parties. Bubble Machines create a fun and surreal atmosphere. They are a perfect way to grab the attention of the audience and set the mood of the event. And when it comes to bubble machines, the bigger is always, the better. For the best results, use a combination of large and small bubbles and place them high above the event venue or a set piece or DJ Booth. You can achieve natural-looking results by using machines that can create different sized bubbles.

Snow machines

If you want to create a magical atmosphere for an event, you have to have a snow machine. These affect machines are suitable both indoors and outdoors. People mostly use them for films, sports events, and concerts. Keep in mind that snow from snow machines don’t wet the floor. This snow evaporates not so long after touching the floor. Then there are extra dry snowflakes that evaporate even before reaching the floor. You can set a timer or use the trigger button that activates the snowfall. For realistic effects, use a snowflake of different sizes.

Fog machines

Smoke machines are extremely popular among mobile DJs and venue operators. In fact, fog effect machines are a must-have along with lighting fixtures. The smoke effect can make any beams of light more appealing to the eye. So, the more area and lights you have to play with, the greater the special effect outcome. For an extra spooky effect, you can combine regular fog machines with elements that react to UV light. The effect will be complete if you add some techno bubbles to complement the UV reactive smoke.

Haze machines

Hazers, or haze machines, are somewhat similar to fog machines. However, this can be either oil-based or water-based. These are also used to complement lighting effects. Unlike fog machines, haze machines produce a fine and subtle haze-the particle remain in the air for a long time before dissipating. Ideally, you should use both fog and haze machines for events. The effect of hazers is subtler than machines with smoke or low fog. Basically, they highlight the lighting effects and allow you to see rays and patterns that you would not normally see.

Tips on how to buy Effect Machines Online

Buying effects machines requires a lot of considerations. As these machines are often expensive, you need to be very careful about where you put your money. To make matters even complicated, there are so many variations between different machine models. Therefore, selecting the right one is easier said than done. However, it gets easier if you know what factors to consider in them. Here are a few things to keep in mind while shopping for them.

  • Types of the machine – There are a variety of different effect machines out there. If you are new to them, you most probably aren’t going to get all of them. As all of these machines do different things, it is necessary to decide what kinds of them you want first. People consider fog and haze machines to be basic requirements for events. So, be sure to get those before you consider others.
  • Capacity – The amount of fog, or bubbles that a machine can create varies depending on the power of the machine. Bigger machines can create a lot of smoke, bubbles, or snow, depending on their type. The capacity of the machine should be suitable for the size of the venue. So, if the venue is huge, you need really large effect machines.
  • Think about how many of them you need – Rather than using a single machine; multiple smaller ones will give better results. The bigger the venue is, the more ones you will need. So, plan out the positions where you are going to install these machines beforehand. This will help you figure out the number and size of machines accurately.
  • Cost – Like many other DJ equipment, effects machines also come in a wide range of prices. There are really basic models that are really affordable to high-end models that will set you back a few thousand dirhams. Depending on where you are using it, and what your budget is, choose a model that will give you the best value for money.

There are many other essential items you will need for organising an event or a concert besides effect machines. These include things like audio mixers, musical instruments, instrument cases, instrument stands, and tools necessary for tuning and maintaining them. The good news is that you can find all of the themes easily using our shopping search engine . It will let you compare the prices and features of different products and pick the best one among them. So, don’t forget to check out other products from the Musical instruments category.

Question & Answer

Is fog safe to inhale?

Fog and haze fluids are generally non-toxic. This means, most people would not have any irritations or health problems because of them. However, you might find some atmospheric effects irritating or have temporary breathing difficulties if you are allergic. While most people can be in the thickest fog for hours without even a cough, some people are quickly annoyed by the lightest of hazes. Moreover, modern fog and smoke machines are much better than the old ones. So, if you had a bad experience ten or twenty years ago doesn’t necessarily mean fog from modern machines can have the same effects on you.

How do bubble machines work?

All bubble machines consider mainly three parts. One of them is a tank that contains the bubble liquid. The exact components of the liquid vary between brands. The second part is a while with countless rings. The size and number of rings depend on the model of the machine. As this wheel rotates, the rings get covered in the bubble-liquid. The final piece of this machine is a blower that draws air into the machine and blows it through the wheel. It is this air that blows out of the blower that creates hundreds of bubbles in a second.
