QLab Pro 4.6

QLab makes it simple to create rich multimedia designs for live performances and installations. From Broadway to the West End, in churches, museums, store fronts, concert halls, and theaters around the world, people use QLab to bring their audio and video to life.

Simply powerful show control
QLab allows you to design and operate amazing multimedia performances from your Mac OS X computer. A single QLab workspace can control audio, video, MIDI, OSC, and more.

Amazingly deep, surprisingly easy
Using building blocks called “cues”, you can create sophisticated designs in seconds.

Getting started is as simple as dragging in a file and pressing “GO”. From there, add commands to fade volume, animate videos, or add audio and video effects.
Once you master the basics, become a power user with advanced features like scripting, video corner pinning, multi-projector edge blending, audio localization, or even building multi-computer designs by sending commands to other QLab machines on your local network.

The industry standard.
Battle-tested and used by designers around the world, QLab is the tool of choice in venues large and small.

Audio Effects
You can now apply live audio effects to all your cues: EQ, pitch shift, reverb, and more. Add audio effects to individual cues, across all cue outputs, or on your device outputs.

Dynamic Effects
The powerful new Fade Cue can adjust your audio effect parameters in real time. It can even adjust playback rate, to dynamically speed up or slow down your audio, with or without pitch shifting.

Live Audio Inputs
The new Mic Cue offers up to 24 channels of live audio inputs. Plus all those routing, fading, and audio effects you get on Audio Cues? You get those on Mic Cues too.

What’s New:

Version 4.6:
Added:

Workspaces can now have an arbitrary number of Network cue destination patches defined in workspace Settings > Network.
Clicking on the continue column in the cue list will now show a popup menu showing the continue mode options. This is instead of clicking to cycle through the available settings, and should help prevent accidentally editing this property due to a stray click.
Support for batch editing MIDI cues.
Enhancements to the Target Cue, including support for Fancy Paste, a default name, and proper undo support.
Workspace OSC methods /workspace/{id}/settings/audio/outputChannelNames and /workspace/{id}/settings/mic/outputChannelNames which allow getting custom channel names from audio and mic output patches.
Cue OSC methods /cue/{cue_number}/secondTriggerAction and /cue/{cue_number}/secondTriggerOnRelease.

Fixed:

A crash that could occur when editing properties of a running Fade cue.
Tabbing out of a batch edit “mixed” text field in the Inspector no longer clears the value for the selected cues.
Undo functionality now works in the Inspector while typing in Notes, MIDI cue SysEx Message, and Network cue OSC and UDP Message fields.
An issue that could cause video playback to drop frames momentarily while generating thumbnail images for the inspector for other Video cues.

A cosmetic issue related to clicking-and-dragging on audio level fields.
Dragging Video, Text, and Camera cue surfaces in the Display & Geometry tab creates one undo item per complete drag and drop.
Dragging a slider in the color picker of the Text cue inspector is now smoother.
The revert, undo, and redo functionality of the Light dashboard, which were broken in 4.5.
Opening certain kinds of workspaces with certain kinds of light submasters was extremely slow. Now: much better.
Scrolling now works in the UDP message text field of the Network cue inspector.
