A Sound and Video Production Company
TL;DR: QLab is for more than just playing back audio and video files – and easy to use. The Story: I use QLab for almost all of the live shows I work on these days. Even if it isn’t totally necessary upon first look, it provides for me a unified user interface as I cut …
