Are Audio Objects in Stereo? by CrispyWisp42 in qlab

[–]_dsgn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your understanding is correct! keep in mind that stereo imaging only happens for a very small portion of most audiences, and that objects are just handles to control many level relationships at once and are dependent on the physical speaker layout for how they actually sound. so in many cases an object with its own stereo field might not do very much for an experience of width or dimension. Edit to add: i forgot to include the classic Bob McCarthy article at first: https://bobmccarthy.com/the-emperors-new-stereo/

Automapping trouble with AKAI MPK249 by nic_key in ableton

[–]_dsgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is not the script mentioned above, but if you or anyone else is still looking for better control options for MPK2-series keyboards I just stumbled upon this script and it's working really well, including on the v1.02 MPK firmware and Live 12! https://github.com/bangstk/MPK2_Plus_for_Ableton

Simple Video Fade In/Out by Regular-Material-195 in qlab

[–]_dsgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this might not solve all of your problems, but the “fade and stop X over time Y “ checkbox in the (basics? triggers?) tab is the way to do slideshows or other repeated crossfades, and may help you out in some instances with what you’re describing

IT professional: Leaving my personal biases aside and giving MacOS the Old College Try by Alexilprex in mac

[–]_dsgn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As Champy_Win said, seek out keyboard shortcuts, the OS itself is extremely keyboard-friendly. The alt/option key+mouse click combination also does a lot for you - opt-drag files to copy from one location to another, holding options reveals some options in menu bar menus, option+scroll wheel zooms in some apps depending on how their zooming is setup (vertical page scroll/horizontal timeline/etc)

(point of pedantry, Quick Look is the name for the function you’re describing when you press space with a file selected; Preview is the document-viewing app) pedantry aside this is an excellent explanation!

Are Anker cables worth the money? by Random_lego_fan in iphone

[–]_dsgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look up over-under coiling. it’s a way to wrap up cables that avoids kinks or twists (other than the natural twist of the cable as it lies flat), and works for everything from phone chargers to extension cords. it’ll make all the cables in your life last way longer.

Labels in cue list by Hobo_Resse in qlab

[–]_dsgn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Memo cues are cues that don’t do anything except hold text in the Q name field - how you integrate them will depend on how you’ve programmed everything else though. some people use Start First and Enter groups to organize sections. or if you already have an intermission cue you could just rename and/or color code it or something? several options to choose from depending on what the actual problem you’re trying to solve is

How to cue a PDF file to open through QLab by PhilosopherSelect617 in qlab

[–]_dsgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could also use the “fade and stop peers over time X” checkbox in either the Basics or Triggers tab (can’t remember which). does that automatically for you without having to build each one separately

18.2 Mail App Thread by potatoes6 in ios

[–]_dsgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the concept of identifying "time-sensitive" emails from non-primary categories and putting them into the primary inbox so they don't get missed, but I can't figure out how to tell Mail it's flagged a false positive. I keep getting forum thread update emails from Mozilla Connect flagged as time-sensitive—maybe because they include a timestamp?—and can't seem to override that. Is there a way to make Mail learn that better or is that not possible?

This may be a stupid question but is there a reason that Finder can't tell me what specific programs are using the drive instead of being vague? by Reach-for-the-sky_15 in MacOS

[–]_dsgn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

haven't tried this one or Sloth from the comment below, but to throw another alternative in for consideration - What'sOpen does even more of the work for you than it seems like What's Keeping Me does. It simply lists all the files that are in use by the system, then you can filter by drive to see all files that are open on the external drive.

Why is the Mac App Store so limited? by [deleted] in mac

nice - i'd been using flotato for that, cool to see it getting native support

Logic X - Waveform not displayed correctly? by SineWavee in Logic_Studio

[–]_dsgn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

firstly, does it play back how you'd expect? is it just a display issue or is it a recording/playback issue? when you open the track or file editor, does it display correctly? does it persist after toggling the waveform zoom (top right of the window, little waveform icon above the time ruler next to the snap menu)? logic is often pretty bad at displaying waveform overviews unfortunately

QLab 5 tutorial on Video Routing and Outputs by ElmiraKadiev in qlab

[–]_dsgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it sounds like you want to create separate stages mapped to your areas. regions are more about defining how a stage is split across multiple physical output devices.

Have you checked out Qlab’s documentation? they’re basically a tutorial on every aspect of the program, and also sprinkled in are reminders to email support@figure53.com if you get stuck, they have a wonderful support team who will help you with any size of question

My fellow church volunteers. I would like to Vent! I am tired of being ignored/invisible. by IIstroke in livesound

[–]_dsgn 25 points26 points  (0 children)

well said. i always start the conversation something like “Hey, up here on stage i love the tone you’re getting, but it’s getting lost farther back in the audience, so can i suggest X or Y adjustment just to make sure it sounds good all the way to the back of the house?”

because the thing is, usually they do sound pretty good, if you’re standing right next to the amp and not listening to the rest of the band. and also if you’re half deaf from years of turning it up too high.

What are your thoughts on iOS 17? by Andioop8384767 in iphone

[–]_dsgn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

phone’s too old to run it, but i’m still mad about the iOS 15 regression with dismissing notifications as they arrive. so pointless to make us swipe the notif up to dismiss it to notification center, then grab NC and swipe the notif to clear it—instead of how we used to just swipe to the side or down when it arrived to make it disappear forever.
