There are many advantages to using QLab 4 with Stage Caller
I have added a chapter to Mic Pool’s QLab Cook Book on using StageCaller with QLab 4.1.
As well as being an attempt to concisely detail the set up procedure it also demonstrates some novel possibilities that have only been possible with the latest QLab releases.
The aim of these is to make the most reliable QLab workspace for triggering sounds in StageCaller, and providing 2 backup strategies within the workspace, if the phone fails to ring.
QLab constantly monitors a heartbeat OSC message from StageCaller and if it is not present enables backup audio cues throughout the workspace.
When any StageCaller cue is triggered in QLab, the next cue playhead sits on a backup audio cue for a few seconds, before automatically advancing past it, if it is not required.
Together with a bespoke OSC logging system and a few other bells and whistles, I hope this is the most comprehensive guide yet.
