[QLab] Live Audio feed?

[Leon Rothenberg]

I think all-in-one is not always the best solution. Easy integration  
with complimentary technology like AU Lab for live mics, or a DM1K / 
controlled/ by QLab is a wonderfully elegant expansion of central  
show control. I haven't used Audiobox, but Matt's right, LCS uses  
outboard DSP to do all it's magic, but it is an uber-console with an  
integrated playback engine, QLab seems to me a different beast. As  
cool as it is to be able to do it all in one computer, I think  
consoles should mix mics (or even...engineers?) and QLab should keep  
on doing it's wonderfully integrate-able thing.
