Adam FisherGUEST
Um, I think you, you get into the world of what you're doing and those 12 faders that are in front of you when you're an operator, um, and then trying to expand what you're doing outside of it.
Adam FisherGUEST
I remember, um, think Paul Gatehouse again said to me when I was gunning for his job, um, that the, the things you need to learn are the, the console- Uh, QLab at the time.
Adam FisherGUEST
I think prior to that it was G-Type and Samplers.
Adam FisherGUEST
Whatever the-
40 MINS LATER
Peter RiceHOST
Yeah
Adam FisherGUEST
... to get in, get involved.
Adam FisherGUEST
Um, and especially 'cause the technology at the moment, like Digico, QLab, it's all been around for-
Peter RiceHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Eoghan CarrickGUEST
But then we were also using, like, subs, so it's like subwoofers, to create a kinda sensory quality within the sound where the audience can literally feel the sound.
Eoghan CarrickGUEST
Um, and yeah, and I mean, like, sound has kinda taken a huge leap, largely because of QLab, I think.
Lynne ParkerMODERATOR
Mm.
Eoghan CarrickGUEST
Where...
Eoghan CarrickGUEST
So QLab is a software.
Eoghan CarrickGUEST
It's freely available.
Eoghan CarrickGUEST
You can get, like, kind of more, like there's more features.
Josh NorbidoHOST
So I don't, but Nick may have more info than I do.
Nick KayHOST
Yeah, look, in my shows, I have, but I run everything off of QLab.
Doug ConnHOST
QLab, yeah.
Doug ConnHOST
I
Nick KayHOST
have this thing called an Entek DMX converter that goes out from the laptop and then executes my lighting cues from there.
Nick KayHOST
So, cause you've got, you've got a light, you've got a light that's moving up, down, left, right, brightness, gobos, things that spin.
Nick KayHOST
It makes, it makes boxes, you know?
Doug ConnHOST
So you might set these lighting cues and then your QLab app would switch between the lights.
Emmett BoedekerGUEST
Um, but, uh, but something like, um, whenever we're using MTI tracks, they have an integration and the ability to integrate their, our, their tracks or audio files into Q lab, which is super nice because Q lab is the lifeblood of our shows here.
Emmett BoedekerGUEST
Every Q that is taken, um, I guess from an electrical standpoint, a lighting cue, a projection cue, a DCA change cue for the soundboard operator, any sound effect, anything like that is operated through QLab and then sent out to whatever, you know, if it's sending out to our lighting console so that we can bring up the house lights or go to a specific cue.
Emmett BoedekerGUEST
All those types of things are very nice, especially when it comes to just seamless integration.
Emmett BoedekerGUEST
Like, if I can just hit go and have all of the...
Sunny ZimmermanGUEST
We've never had a crew.
Sunny ZimmermanGUEST
Uh, poor Caitlin has had to figure out QLab and be in the booth with the tech person at whatever comedy theater we're in.
Sunny ZimmermanGUEST
So a major, major element of this run is having help with anything [laughs] and everything.
Sunny ZimmermanGUEST
Uh, we had the amazing Lee Honigman come on as our producer, who also brought on Emily Lawrence, and they have been working with us for a year and a half now, um, just to get this ready to go.
Dan WilberHOST
of
Gabe MollicaGUEST
thing where you can um you can do it anywhere with a screen yeah yeah yeah and I even have a google slides version when I do the road right it's like I'm at Penn State there's a little TV next to me I can't have QLab firing 140 cues it's like there's 8 slides this is like the bare bones of it
Dan WilberHOST
right
Zach SimsHOST
um Well, let me – I got a two-parter for you just about the show.
JamieHOST
Well, I think that's a great thing for you to take in your item, your laptop.
JamieHOST
And technically you snuck in QLab there.
JamieHOST
But like I said, we like a hack.
JamieHOST
We like people that sneak things in.
