Thank You

[@valeriemillerwriter4722]

Thank you so much for this. I have to learn QLaB this weekend to teach the other Drama Teachers , so the teach the students as part of a Drama Assessment. Any more on QLab?

[@hirogarimusic]

Valerie Miller Hi Valerie. More to come, yes.

[@tristantrey]

Very comprehensive

[@angelinafiorini5149]

Really awesome video, thanks for sharing!

[@sawdustwoodchips]

Great tutorial!! any chance you can show a tutorial of video, stills and music?

[@miriamdruyan]

SUPER helpful, thank you!!

[@argentronic]

Very clear. Thanks.

[@djwarrior1421]

I really love your video. I've watched it quite a few times. One quick question. Everytime we shut the computer off, we come back and have to reload our cues. What are we doing wrong?

[@alisonrhodes5310]

Hi thanks for this very helpful ☺️ please tell me what determines the time amount between triggering the 2nd thunder. The first thunder stops then it seems it is a couple of seconds before the 2nd thunder is triggered, even though auto continue is on the first cue in the list. Cheers, Ali.

[@hirogarimusic]

Wait/Pre-Wait time

[@mixingaband]

Great vid

[@lailakeadan]

Thank you for the great video! It is really helpful for the show I am doing. How do you add audio files to play underneath video files in QLAB?

[@hirogarimusic]

Trigger both the audio and video files simultaneously

[@lailakeadan]

@@hirogarimusic Thank you for replying! Do you trigger both of them at the same time by clicking on "duck audio" under the triggers tab?

[@hirogarimusic]

@@lailakeadan You can create a group so they all fire at the same time

[@bertblank8742]

Can this control and tie in all of your cues (including mic cues) for a full production?

[@hirogarimusic]

This is possible. I can go into it in a future video.

[@MrZepedro2]

Are you using the non licensed version of Qlab ? Great video btw !

[@hirogarimusic]

José Pedro Fortuna For this tutorial, yes - just to show how much you can do with the free version.

[@tomdamiani7081]

Great video! Do you know if I can use a USB port rather than cat5 to run my lights and video? Thanks much.

[@broadcastedtube]

Good man

[@soypipevallejo]

Great your video

[@hirogarimusic]

Thanks!

[@hirogarimusic]

You’re very welcome.

[@bethcurran4244]

How do I record both the screen and sound like you have here?

[@hirogarimusic]

I’m recording the output of the computer and the microphone I’m narrating with into a separate recorder and syncing up the video later in premiere.

[@tubbums32]

0:17 "It's 100% free!" Wish that comment had aged better

[@markkrawczyk6423]

I'm DESPERATE for more help with QLab. Would love to discuss any and all topics about this app with you if possible.

[@hirogarimusic]

Mark Krawczyk What questions do you have? I’ll do what I can to answer them.

[@nsanturio]

Only Audio??? what about videos..any tutorial around???

[@djwarrior1421]

Hi. Does it only work on Apple platforms? Can I create the Full Show on my iPad, share it to a PC?

[@hirogarimusic]

Hi Darla. QLab is only available for MacOS.

[@kkhkundoormedia2744]

100% free ? $1199

[@hirogarimusic]

For a full license. Notice that everything I have shown here is from the off-the-shelf version that costs nothing.

[@katharinehorowitz1709]

Please don't auto-number your cues. Also, you should rarely, if ever, set a level at a +number. You risk damaging your system. Levels with a proper dynamic range should be set at your board, and audio files should be normalized, so that you never have to go above unity.

[@hirogarimusic]

Auto-number exists for a reason, and there’s also a reason why you can increase the gain of samples past unity in the first place. I think you need to be recognisant of the context that this is a ‘quick and dirty’ how-to for people with no audio background, just to get them comfortable with using QLab,
