Hi All,
I am designing an upcoming show and need to incorporate a door intercom cue. Actor will be offstage speaking into a microphone that will playback through an onstage speaker, making it sound like the character is outside the front door of the house. I will be using QLab3. Having the microphone routed through QLab using the audio effects should easily facilitate any processing I need to make it sound appropriate. What I would like to also incorporate is the actor pushing a button that will trigger a sfx of the intercom being engaged - some sort of click/squelch.
How would I use a simple button (like a doorbell or something) to trigger QLab? Is there a simple system that can send OSC? I could also run a simple midi cable with some sort of midi interface that the actor could trigger.
Any ideas how to gracefully achieve this?
Thanks,
Andrew
