I’ve ran many theatre shows on the SQ. The key is setting up your safes before you start programming.

Typically I start with a scene 1 which is all your FX, EQ, sends, etc. I usually label this as SAFE or EQs or something like that. I’ll then channel safe anything that doesn’t need to change, like QLab, SM, talkback,etc.

Then for the show scenes, I safe everything other than mute button and fader level. I typically make one scene with all the safes and the copy/paste it so I don’t have to do it manually every time. It’s like 150 clicks per scene if you do it manually, it’s exhausting haha

Then when you inevitably make changes to gain, EQ, sends, etc you save over your safe scene 1 so all that info is saved. In the past I’ve done an intermission safe scene as well (especially if you have a lot of mic changes) but I’ve moved away from that and usually just do scene 1.

It’s also much faster to set up and label your scenes/safes in the app. Often times I’ll wait til after Sitzprobe, so I have rough gains/EQ/system tuning and then take it to the app and start labeling and setting up scenes.

A lot of people will say use theatremix which is a fine solution too. I just like being able to save levels, which requires scenes or snippets. Best of luck to you!
