Hi Guys! The show was just over a month ago, as you may have noticed I completely forgot about this thread.The show itself went really well for the small production that it was. We made close to $700, which for a show that was organised, performed and managed by high school students (myself...

Just a little update, showtime is in approximately 21 hours, I'm quite confident (this is my first show though!) I have a few more scenes I have to save in the hours leading up to before the show but that doesn't take that much time so I should have plenty of time to mentally prepare myself for...

The performers are actually singers as such, there's not enough room for live music so we have to go with singers using backing tracks (Which I'm running through the theatre's awesome speakers using Qlab).

The theatre doesn't have any Gobos around because it's almost unused (only used to train drama students). I was kinda thinking chases because as you mentioned a reasonably number of the songs have a lot of flashy parts. I'm definitely thinking smooth transitions will look quite good because...

So, I'm running lighting for a friend, and it's a jazz themed night, with a lot of performances. For some of the dances I'll be running some chases to add a bit more movement, and because I'm working with no intelligent fixtures at all, as it's in our school's old small theatre (All it has is...

Wow, thank you so much man. Quick question, do I necessarily need an external sound card? I was planning on just connecting the laptop to the desk using an aux-xlr cable or similar (which is how other people have ran small shows from that theatre in the past, not sure how it's set up, as I don't...

Yeah sorry about that, I meant as in next time I'm working with qlab (I've been really busy)

I'll play with these settings next time I have qlab open. Thank you so much!

The problem is, I have my monitor set up the same way the projector will be set up, as a secondary display, but since I'm running OS X Yosemite, the toolbar is always there, even on an extended display. That's the problem.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately if I black out my desktop my toolbar at the top still appears. And the projector is hanging on the roof above the center of the stage behind a divider, and projects on a screen on the cyclorama, so I can't access it physically.

Hi, I've very recently started using Qlab, and currently I use a blank white or black image to 'black out' the projector when I don't have a video/projection up, but this is very impractical and creates more to do. Is there an easier feature within qlab? I don't currently have access to a...

Hi Guys, I'm someCKguy! I'm a high school student in Australia and I sometimes volunteer for my school's light team. I also sometimes do lighting for my friend, who writes and directs musicals himself.I'm quite new to lighting, and am only just starting to learn a bit more about it (I've done...
