If there are problems in testing, you'll have to hire or borrow an Intel Mac as your backup.

But make sure you test things thoroughly prior to opening night and don't let that Mac touch the internet afterwards - even if you disable software update, Apple still can silently deploy critical patches without any user notice or control. And don't get me started on butterfly keyboards. Buying an Intel Mac right now would really be a waste of money and you'd really only avoid the issues by going with an older Intel Mac (2015 or so) which would open you up to old/no-longer unreliable hardware. Since this M1 is a second Mac, not your only one, I think it's an easy decision. They were all issues with the low level operating system and/or hardware connections to the sound desk and/or projector. I'm sure none of the problems were related to QLab. Worst of all, it was often unclear what the problem was or how we fixed it. Sometimes extensive troubleshooting and changes were required. We were able to fix all of them, but not always quickly. We run QLab on one of those Macs and have had issues with both audio and video. The audio and video playback areas of the M1 are especially prone to bugs as the way basically the same system gets up to *95 hours* of audio playback from a truly tiny smartphone battery is by using hardware instead of software for media playback and the new systems have occasionally been unreliable with tasks more complex than listening to a 3 minute song or watching a YouTube video.īy the way - modern Intel Macs have the same issue, as again to improve battery life audio and video output doesn't run on the primary CPU, it runs on Apple's T1/T2 coprocessor which is basically an older generation of the M1. M1 is an immature platform and not only has a lot changed recently, but there are almost certainly more changes coming over the next few years. It absolutely does work - however it might not work smoothly. Check out the videos or step by step explanation below.You're right to be cautious - I don't think the 'dust has settled' yet. Who knows, maybe your question will help someone else discover their answer in the future.

Let’s say you want to trigger live elements during your show without compromising your QLab show file or in-house setup. VDMX offers a customizable solution to enhance your QLab experience and go beyond what the application has to offer. Some of you VDMX users may say, “Hey, but VDMX has a cue based plugin, I can just use that.” You’re right!, but when you walk into a performance space with union audio, lighting, and video pros, and they ask for your QLab file, you can’t simply say, “learn VDMX.” And frankly, they don’t have to.įor all you QLab lovers out there, VDMX is a modular based live performance software (yes, with a cue based system, and so much more!). In QLab, you build a show and step through it, cue after cue.

It works as a cue based system (think, video plays, the actor moves into their next location, hit space bar, and the next series of cues triggers). Over the years, QLab has become a standard in theaters and performance spaces of all sizes. This includes features such as Timecode, DMX, OSC, MIDI, Video over Syphon or NDI, Lights, Sound & more. To start, both are Mac specific and work great together locally or over a network.
