You can now select cues and click the Go button (or press Space) and you should hear sounds. You can press the Escape key on your keyboard to stop all sounds. A lot of these keyboard shortcuts are customisable - have a look at Workspace Preferences > Key Map to see what they are.

QLab Pro 4.1.6 macOS TNT Dec 05 2017 20.7 MB. QLab makes it simple to create rich multimedia designs for live performances and installations. From Broadway to the West End, in churches, museums, store fronts, concert halls, and theaters around the world, people use QLab to bring their audio and video to life. Here is a video of how to use the basic features in QLab. I cannot play audio of the tracks for copyright reasons but please make sure you hit the like button! COURSE DESCRIPTION. QLab is a powerful show control software. In this course we'll get you up and running with QLab, get you building a sound design from scratch, and show you the ins and outs of QLab's audio capabilities.

Qlab 4 Audio Review

If you have not used your Mac to run sound for a show before:

  • Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Sound.

  • Click on the 'Sound Effects' tab and turn the Alert Volume to Off

  • Turn 'user interface sound effects', 'feedback when volume is changed' Off

  • Click on Show All to see all System Preferences

  • Click on the Energy Saver icon

  • Set Computer Sleep to never

(This stops the computer from going to sleep when it's not used, for example, during the pre-show music!)

  • Turn 'Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible' off

(This stops the hard disk from spinning down between cues which can cause lags when you press the Go button)

  • Click on Show All to see all System Preferences

  • Click on the Network icon

  • Click WiFi

  • Turn 'Ask to join new networks' off

(This stops the computer from asking you if you would like to join the 'Free-Public-Wi-Fi' network that suddenly appears mid show!)

(This means people can't try and send you files over Bluetooth during the show!)

  • Click on Date and Time and make sure the Time is set correctly

  • Click on the Software Update icon, and turn 'check for updates' off

  • Click on the Time Machine icon, and turn Time Machine off

  • Only run QLab on it during the show. Other programs will slow down QLab and will cause audio glitches and slow QLab's reaction to the Go button being pressed.

  • Make sure it is disconnected from all computer networks during the show.

Qlab 4 Audio Effects

Setting up your sound system for the 8 speaker version

All the sound effects and music cues have been set at appropriate volumes for the show already. You should only need to adjust the volumes of your different speakers, either using the volume controls on the amplifiers, the speakers themselves if they are self-powered, or on your mixing desk. You want the music in the balancing section to be quiet enough so that the Cat can be heard over it without shouting! There are loud and quiet sections to the music, and the quiet sections are where the Cat talks. You can also use the Motorbike sound effect sequence to set the volume of your flown speakers: Run the sequence and turn the flown speakers up or down so that the sound doesn't get noticeably louder or quieter as it pans from the onstage speakers to the flown speakers.

Setting up your sound system for the 2 speaker version

All the sound effects and music cues have been set at appropriate volumes for the show already. You should only need to adjust the volumes of your speakers. You want the music in the balancing section to be quiet enough so that the Cat can be heard over it without shouting! There are loud and quiet sections to the music, and the quiet sections are where the Cat talks.

Make sure the volume of your Mac is set consistently for each show. I normally turn it up to full using the keyboard volume buttons, then turn it down 3 button presses.
