Qlab midi trigger1/2/2023 ![]() So I needed to get a spare mac and load my Qlab workspace into that and run automation on the console (as normal), but manually trigger Qlab, and if there was any snapshots in the console which only triggered Qlab, then I had to "dummy" press the NEXT-snapshot on the console, while pressing space on Qlab, so the console would still be in the right snapshot. QLAB MIDI TRIGGER DRIVERSI've been in the situation where first the MIDI-cable took a nosedive (I was using soundcard with built in MIDI), and when installing the drivers for a UM-ONE MIDI interface I had as a spare, the Mac itself took a dive and didn't want to boot. I've never had a separate button for just Qlab, and one for automation. But I do it that Qlab-GO is built into the snapshots. Console snapshots changes automation, and also triggers Qlab. This is simpler to setup and program, and means you'll never accidentally trigger a sound effect when you meant to hit an automation cue (or vice-versa). I've known some very good A1s who insist on having automation recalls and playback triggers be totally separate.

QLAB MIDI TRIGGER PLUSQLab is triggering itself, plus recalling settings on a couple of processors, etc., etc.) in which case QLab will have to run the show (but I'll still want to be able to trigger it from a button on the console's surface). The exception to this is if the console isn't up to running the show (i.e. ![]() If I have 40 automation cues and one playback cue then the console can trigger QLab. If it's a playback show with two automation cues, then QLab can trigger the console. If I am going to have a single button trigger both automation and playback then my rule of thumb is this: the master trigger is the device with the most cues. Even then (especially if there's only a couple of playback cues in the show) I'll sometimes use a separate button on the console as a QLab trigger, especially if there wasn't a tonne of programming time during the production process. Personally, if I'm line-mixing a musical, I want that GO button to be as close to the VCAs/DCAs/CGs as is physically possible, which usually means a button on the console. ![]() It ultimately comes down to preference, but IMHO it depends on the desk and the show. ![]()
