I am the production coordinator and sound designer for my wife's Pulitzer Prize-nominated solo show "Now That She's Gone," which we've been doing theatrically for the last 3 years all over the world. QLab is truly one of those "how did I ever get along without it" items. Just one final thing next time you go to the theatre have a look what software the sound engineer is using, if they have a mac it will have Qlab on it! The free version is great for amateur groups for simple audio playback. The software is expensive, but is aimed at professionals and does much more than cheeper alternatives. However they now have some great tutorials on the website, I would suggest watching these before you start using the software as it covers the basics well. For example cross fading tracks into each other. The only negative is some of the more simple commands can take a while to get your head around. The software not only plays back the sound file, but also sends midi commands to the desk to raise the fader and lower the fader when the sound has stopped playing. The free version is great! I used this for ages but finally upgraded to the pro version just because I wanted to use the midi integration. I have used this for our amateur theatre group for the last 3 years and it works flawlessly. A Text cue that ends up with either a width or height in excess of 16384 pixels will now break rather than output all white.
Sending OSC method /level to a Video cue now allows use of a string for outChannel.(QLab itself only speaks Art-Net 3, but now does so in a way that won’t cause trouble with some Art-Net 4 devices.) Improved compatibility with some Art-Net 4 devices.Problems with thousands separator in the “width” control for Text cues.Text cue templates now correctly save the text color property.Video effects now correctly respect the maximum possible size of Video cues.Video performance problems relating to the use of “keep rendering between cues” on Apple Silicon-based Macs.Several lingering display bugs on Big Sur certain text fields are now legible again.Several bugs that affected the display of cart cues when running on Big Sur.
Drawing the cue list has been optimized in a way that may provide dramatic improvements to responsiveness on Big Sur, and modest improvements on earlier versions of macOS.Opening a freshly-bundled workspace is now optional.QLab will now exit full screen mode when starting a bundle operation.
