A dad and maybe the school’s technical director would run sound for the shows during the performance, and maybe let a kid stand behind the console, hit “GO” in QLab, or help put mics on other kids. ![]() Someone’s dad would watch some YouTube videos, come in while the kids were in class, and throw together some kind of sound system that would be enough to get by. “Who ran sound for all of these musicals that you did in middle and high school,” I would ask. I was always told by my students that sound is scary, or too hard, or wasn’t ever taught in high school and middle school when these students first burst into the theatre world. I can count on my two hands, the number of students that have come in with sound as their focus, and, by the way, less than half were women. Students spend two years in this conservatory learning as many elements of technical theatre as possible, and generally, can declare one area as their focus. Tick the passthrough box.For the past ten years, I’ve been the sound faculty for a technical theatre conservatory. QLC : In the input/output tab at the bottom, in universe 1, select Artnet 1:10.100.100.1 as input and DMX USB as output. In Light settings, add instruments and choose output artnet (with 0 0 0), don't forget to (auto)-patch. QLab : In Qlab preferences, set Artnet lighting network interface to automatic and tick the use broadcast mode. This creates a virtual IP, you need to redo this step everytime you shutdown your mac it seems. In your mac terminal, type in "sudo ifconfig en1 alias 10.100.100.1/24 up" I found a terminal command to add a virtual ip adresse (or at least that's the way I understood it) The trick was to have it working when not connected to a wifi network. Therefor to work, the wifi card needs to be activated! ![]() The communication between the 2 softwares uses the wifi network interface (because I would never use wifi during a live show anyway). I ended up here hoping to find a solution, many many hours later I found one myself I thought it would be a good place to share!ĭon't ask me to go into details, I don't know, I'm just a user Corresponds to qlab addresses correctly from what I can see.ĭo I need to do something with channels groups? Is there something else I should do to make the fixture groups? The first fixture is Universe 1 - Address 1 - last is Universe 1 - Address 18. Is there something I'm supposed to do with the "Profile" section? in inputs/outputs I have also tried it using a completely separate Mac running qlab lights and both machines can see each other on the local area network, but I still don't get any art-net data coming in one either the wifi ip ArtNet or ethernet ip ArtNet addresses. When I have 192.168.1.21 or 44 selected, I don't get any incoming packets received in QLC+ that I can see. I've tried using the passthrough check button both on and off, but nothing. I can see receiving packets increase when I have 127.0.0.1 selected (I don't actually know what 127.0.0.1 is, not that tech savvy), but don't know what data it is being received, nor can I get QLC+ to respond when I move the lighting channel faders in QLAB. On Universe 1 I've got 3 Art-Net options to choose from for input plugin: I can slide the faders up and down in QLC+ and it works outputting into the usb dmx ok. In QLC+ I've created a bunch of simple dimmer type fixtures to monitor them for any input and have patched universe 1 output to the USB DMX dongle. My QLAB lighting patch settings are Output: Art-Net, Universe: 0, Sub-Net: 0, Net: 0 This would be all done on the one computer (not physically networking two machines etc if possible) I was hoping I could use QLC+ to bridge the ArtNet that qlab can send out into the QLC+ ArtNet plugin and then pass it out again to the USB DMX. These lighting cues are I want to pass out to some simple dimmer only controlled DMX lights. I have a bunch of sequences already in QLAB 4 that are mainly visual and audio and that have lighting cues timed into it. I have a USB DMX dongle that QLC+ see's but QLAB 4 won't see as compatible. ![]()
