How to run a QLab bundle from Mike.

gistfile1.txt

Hey! If you're reading this, that means I've sent you a QLab bundle. If I sent it to you, then you probably know your way around QLab, and that's awesome.

What's not so awesome is that sometimes, when bundles go from computer to computer, they don't work right away - so, even if you unzip the bundle, and open it up in QLab, none of the audio cues will play.

The reason for this, is that the output device on the machine the bundle created on (mine) is not the same as the output device on the machine that's try to run it (yours).

So the solution is to tell QLab to use your output device. Here's how you do that:

1. With the show open, go to Preferences (top-right corner)
2. In the dialog that comes up, choose "Audio" in the left-most pane
3. In the "Audio Device Assignment" box, you should have patches on the left and devices on the right. Unless you're doing something freaky, what you're going to want to do is click and drag from the "Patch 1" dot to "Built-in Output". This will create a yellow connection, and that connection should stay there after you stop dragging.
4. Do the same as above, connceting "Patch 2" to the same "Built-in Output".

In the end, it should look like this: http://i.imgur.com/WxKq0bu.png

5. Then hit "Done" in the bottom right, and make sure your cues work.

If they still don't work, check all of your cabling and the volumes on your devices, and then get in touch with me if you can't figure it out.
