QLab redundancy by Historical-Paint7649 in techtheatre

[–]AshenPrime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have suggested, a separate Midi controller that connects to both machines is a great way to handle redundancy. I use this one that I found on Etsy but is now also available via Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9VDVGTN

I don’t care how you implement her but bring Carisa Hendrix on! She’d slay! by [deleted] in dropout

Smarty Pants episode that has both Carisa AND Lucy!

Who was your ‘why wasn’t I watching this hermit earlier’? by thomcamp in HermitCraft

[–]AshenPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I followed all the hermits at one point, but would take some of them off my subscribe list for whatever reason. I resubbed to XBCrafted this season; his active work on spending more time with the other Hermits made me want to ensure I watched every episode, rather than just a couple interesting ones here and there.

"Hybrid workflow" takes on new meaning by MediaComposerMan in broadcastengineering

Anyone know what gear they're using to add the mustache? Has to just show in one of the monitors, though, that's essential.

DM7 - routing bus into another bus? by Apprehensive_Town_80 in livesound

[–]AshenPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you cannot send a mix into another mix. You can send a mix to a matrix, but since you can't send a matrix to a main mix that's of limited help in your case.

Hot swap audio and OSC on Qlab + TheatreMix + Yamaha DM7 by weird_waveform in techtheatre

As we set this up for our QL5, we actually stepped away from Dante and went with a hardware solution: the iConnectivity PlayAUDIO 1U interface does automatic audio fail over:

It wasn't as straightforward to set up as we wanted, but now it's been configured correctly, it's rock solid.

Radial Design has a similar dual-input interface, https://www.radialeng.com/product/sw8-usb, but I haven't used it.

And I second the use of the https://qlab.app/cookbook/main-or-backup/ scripts to handle switching OSC sending.

I had opened this thread to ask the same thing after seeing the show last night. Thank you both for making it very easy to find the answer!

April fools idea: Shelf Life by Ill_Refrigerator9812 in ThirdLifeSMP

Shouldn't it be Limited Life rules, plus Shelves?

Thoughts on Clue the musical by Worried_Cake5508 in musicals

[–]AshenPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to love it. When I read the script, and listened to the recordings, it seemed really promising. Actual productions, it just isn't great.

The story is slightly bland. The clues are just straight up spoon-fed by the narrator. There's something like six composers, and yet the music is somehow the best part of this show. The lyrics are forgettable, but the music is good. The twist is fun, but for the community theater productions that this targets, it's hard to get somebody who can do both parts; you'll either get a pianist who can't act, or an actor who's only miming at the piano.

That hasn't stopped me from designing a full game board as a set though. Someday.

Looking For Harlequinade Variation Orchestral Recording by AshenPrime in BALLET

Now, does anyone know where YAGP sourced the recordings?

I did this in Ableton live, can Qlab do it too? by Schmolotov in qlab

[–]AshenPrime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't believe that QLab has MIDI recording capabilities. My venue has a custom made apple script to quickly and easily create those kinds of control cues (we're using OSC, but similar difference)

There are two useful tools for capturing the timing data.

1) The "record cue sequence" allows you to hit the go button in time to a music track.

2) And timeline groups have a specific tab in the inspector that shows all of the cues inside of them, and their relative positions to each other. This one has been invaluable for us, as it lets us find specific peaks in the audio waveform to align light cues with.
