![]() ![]() House music for Cabaret, with effects applied to a single track I will adjust the levels for each song using the “Trim” tab in Qlab, and then add an EQ on a song-by-song level, as needed. Therefore, in a theatrical production, I want to sculpt this music into something consistent, as though it were all coming from the same album. Recorded music has such a wide variance of levels and tone. Pro Audio– effects can be applied to individual songs also allows scripting.Which license you have determines what control you have: As discussed in the post about licenses ( ), you can use Qlab with a Free or Pro Audio license. The granular level of control is really key. Smoother fade out control than my iTunes scripting solution.More control over the music – song levels, start/end times, looping playback.Fewer applications running and less system overhead.I quickly moved to using Qlab (and seperate Cue Lists, as described in the post ). (I will share this script in a future post and update this one.) Most of my library(ies)…with 40,000+ songs, of course I’m going to pull from local copies when I can! I wrote an Applescript to control the iTunes playback, so it could be synced with the rest of my show and I wouldn’t have to flip back and forth between applications. ITunes– I began my career using iTunes playlists, because it was quick and easy, and I have a massive song library. NOTE: This post is about the technical process of playing back music, and does not discuss the licensing involved when using playback music in a public space. All of the following starting scenarios will end up using Qlab as a playback solution. Here is how I prefer to handle house music – to no one’s surprise, I insist on Qlab. But there are still many times where a designer is presented with a CD from the director, or an iTunes playlist on a laptop, or even a Spotify playlist – all of which can conflict with standard show design. Our music consumption habits have changed a lot in the past few years, and people may be getting out of the habit of listening to music in something like iTunes, instead using services like Spotify, etc. Many early-career designers might not think about putting this music into Qlab with the rest of their show. Properly done, house music – preshow, intermission, and postshow – helps set the environment for the audience, keeps them in the world, and can even further the rest of the design. house music is much more than just an afterthought, whereby you just put on some random music and hit play. Putting together house music, with the case made that you use Qlab for its level of control. Its happened before but I've hit a brick wall in terms of figuring this one out.Designing house music – Qlab, CD, iTunes, or Spotify? I use QLab with 5 audio outputs for different things, all routed into Via ![]() Trying to use Qlab with Dante Via here, I can route audio fine through QLab itself, Dante recognises QLab but I don't get any audio coming through, I can get other audio sources such as Spotify routed through Via fine but for some reason QLab has decided not to.
