I was tech on Britain's only touring theatre ship (sadly no longer in use) The Fitzcarraldo, operated by Walk the Plank. Also sadly this was in the days before qlab, and I would operate 2 MDs, 2CDs, 2 DVDs as well as lighting desk and analogue semaphore controllers. It led me down a path to various show control systems, of which qlab has been by far the easiest and quickest to plot, and the most stable in use. This looks fantastic.

I use QLab for all of my designs, and I'd love to be able to run it from my iPad. Ideally, I'd love to have the full QLab functionality available for iPad, but even a playback-only version would be very helpful. Thanks! Count me in for QLab for iPad, too!

The Stagetracker Cue in QLab is pretty simple -- you can see most of it in the screenshot above. It simply is a way to send location information to Stagetracker. The Audio Cue in QLab sends audio out of the computer in the normal way, and if those channels happen to be hooked up to a Stagetracker machine you can control them, but QLab has no way of "knowing" if the audio is going to a Stagetracker machine or not. The configuration is a larger thing that you are in control of, not QLab. Drop me a line at support@figure53.com if I can clarify further! Cheers, Chris Hi Rudi,

I am going to do a show with a 9 ch surround system and i would like to know how to do panning between these ch in qlab. Does the soundcard outputs show in the Tracker window or how do i see the configuration ? Can you show some screenshots if you have them? Best Regards Rudi Hi there.

Currently the information isn't available to QLab, but it seems that could definitely be a possibility. CA Hi Kyle,

Do you mean to read the location data from Stagetracker to use it inside QLab? Currently the information isn’t available to QLab, but it seems that could definitely be a possibility.
