This makes it really easy to operate shows that can get very complex. Now, if you have multiple cues that are always going to operate together at the same time, let’s say you have a piece of audio and a separate piece of video that always needs to start together, then Qlab lets you connect them so that you press the spacebar once and they both happen. So the standard default behavior is that it does one cue when you press the Go button, typically the spacebar on the Mac, and then it stops, ready to start the next cue the moment you press the spacebar, and you go through the whole show that way. And we can choose what the timing relationship between those things is.

What QLab does is let us create a series of cues, a series of things that we want to have happen. And the next thing can’t start until the next group of dancers is ready. And then it needs to stop while the audience applauds at the right time. The music needs to start when the dancers are in position, not before and not after.
And I don’t really care about the exact moment it starts or the exact moment it ends.īut in a live performance environment, you can imagine, we need it to be very precise. You know, when I’m at home, I put on a podcast or I put on a playlist or whatever and I let it play. The way we use media in performance, whether that’s audio or video, or both, tends to be different from the way we use it in our daily lives. And it’s kind of specific to the entertainment industry, theater and other kinds of performances. If you’d like to learn more, it’s produced by a small company in Baltimore called Figure 53. It’s called QLab, the letter “Q” “L A B”. I’ve been thinking for a while about telling you all about an application I use a lot. My background is in sound, lighting, and projection design for the theater. Hi, this is Andy and I’m here with a little bit different kind of a story for the NosillaCast.
