This document discusses different types of cues that can be used in Qlab for audio, video, and lighting during performances. It explains fade and stop cues to fade audio out over 5 seconds or stop it abruptly. Stop cues instantly cut all sound. Video cues play content instantly if loaded. Cue notes describe when each cue is needed in the performance. The document also provides an example of shortening and starting a sound cue earlier to make it more effective for the play.

1. Joe Mountain.

2. Here is a fade and stop. This cue is used during performances when the
sound is finished with…. But instead of an abrupt stop you can fade the
sound out making it sound more professional all the way down to a stop
where the music stops and you’re ready for the next cue.
You can also change the time that you fade the music out, mine is
currently at five seconds… a general fade time.

3. As mentioned in the previous slide… that was a fade and stop
cue. This is when you need the sound to stop instantly, this
may be if you need to move onto the next cue instantly. The
stop cue is simple when you press the cue it stops all the
sound, or the sounds you ask it too.

4. Qlab can also be used for video as well as sound. The cue
is simple, just like and cue you go onto it and it plays
instantly. At this moment there is no actual video loaded
into the cue, this explains the little red ‘X’ This is indicating
there is no content in the cue.

5. On every cue there is a box at the top where you can write
what and when the cue is needed. So when a performer says
a line or stands in a specific place. Also below I had to cue
Ciara in… she was operating the lights, so we both counted
from three to one and then cued at the same time.

6. Here a sound took too long too start as we found out during
the tech run. So what we did was edit the sound making it
shorter and start earlier, making the sound more effective for
the play.
The sound also echoed at the end and continued so we
deleted some of the sound off the end to make it shorter.
This improved the sound for the play making it sound more
effective and professional.
