[QLab] Splitting sound into multiple channels

[Jason Romney]

It's easier than you think. Just make two versions of the file. One  
pitched up a bit, the other pitched down a bit. Route the high one to  
the stage the low one to the house. Fire them at the same time. Nor  
fancy fades required. If you want to get really fancy, you can also  
make an even lower pitched one and route that to a sub.

I'm talking dumb pitch shifting here. The kind that also speeds up  
and slows down the sound. Like what a sampler would do. So the high  
one finishes faster than the low one and you have the effect of the  
rumble moving out to the house. The pitch shifting enhances the  
effect but also automates the timing for you.
