sound operation

firstly i lifted sounds from freesound.com of trucks and trains which are appropriate to what the stage manager told me was required then downloading these sounds after saving these to the user area i had
 the stage manager and the director.these were then transferred to a hardrive disk,which was then plugged into the mac and the tracks transferred to itunes.From this we opened up a new qlab document and dropped in the sounds in the order they would appear in the show ,we got a temporary lincense for so that we could insert vamps and devamps for between speech which is not free on qlab,however when the liesence turned up  there was an issue...the issue being that the lincence was valid only for the new edition of qlab...so to solve this issue we downloaded the new version of qlab and transferred the file from  the old version of qlab to the new one.

from this we added in vamps and revamps to stop or start a track looping during the speech of the actors then carry on with the acting without music cutting out or finishing early.

this was then made easier to differentiate between different forms of actions to be preformed during the show such as:
- green for ; the start of a new act/song
-red for ; stop cue
-blue for; a fade
-purple for; a devamp
-yellow/orange for; a load cue

then during the technical  rehersals I added in the cue lines as taken from the acors for actions such as; vamps, devamps, stops, fades, load cues.

 

some of the tracks we found took to long for the time we needed it to run, or started too long after actors speech so i trimmed the start or end off the track so that the track started when it was needed
to.
