There are two workspace-wide controls for auditioning cues: audition and audition preview selected, both of which have keyboard shortcuts which can be customized in Workspace Settings → Controls → Keyboard. Video output fron Video, Camera, and Text cues. Output typeĪudio cues, Mic cues, and audio output from Video and Camera cues.
QLAB SOUND CUE PATCH
Note that using an alternate patch to audition video requires a video license. Redirect to Audition tab - (Light only) output of this type will be displayed in the Audition tab of the Light Dashboard and not sent to DMX output hardware.

Redirect to Audition window - (Video only) output of this type will be displayed in an audition-only monitor window instead of sent to the video stage that’s programmed into the cue.Alternate patch - output of this type will temporarily use the specified output patch instead of the patch that’s programmed into the cue.No output - output of this type will be entirely prevented from cues which are auditioned.Leave output unchanged - output of this type will behave the same way in cues which are auditioned as it will in cues which are played normally.Light means all DMX output from QLab, including from Light cues, the Light Dashboard, and the DMX status window.Įach type of output has a pop-up menu next to it which contains two to four of the following options:.Network means all output of all Network cues.Timecode (LTC) means the output of Timecode cues set to LTC (linear timecode) mode.Timecode (MTC) means the output of Timecode cues set to MTC (MIDI timecode) mode.MIDI means the output of MIDI and MIDI File cues, including MIDI Voice, MSC, and SysEx messages.Video means the visual output of Video, Camera, and Text cues.Audio means the audible output of Audio, Mic, Video, and Camera cues.There, you’ll find a table which divides all output from QLab into seven categories: Workspace Settings → Audition is where you tell your workspace what you want it to do when you audition a cue of a particular type. If you are working on a complex video system, but the lighting designer is focusing lights and the projectors must be turned off, you might want to audition all Video cues on your computer’s screen so that you can get work done without disturbing your colleague. For example, you might want to audition an individual Audio cue in your headphones instead of through the sound system for everyone to hear. In situations like this, it can be preferable to play the cue in a different way than normal. Auditioning a cue means playing that cue outside of the context of your show as a whole, perhaps experimentally or while developing the cue for later use.
