Hi @kcolf
Thank you for the your detailed response earlier too. It’s given me a lot to think about.
I could have access to a Mac Mini M2 Pro computer. Do you think this will get the job done?
I plan on hooking up the sound card to this computer as well. Ideally, we want to get the job done with one computer. We plan on using QLab because of its flexibility.
The Quicktime approach also sounds doable. Once we arrive at the space, we would like to tweak the mix and do room correction and then reprint all the audio stems and import them back into QLab. Our videos will be rendered as 3 separate ones.
Essentially our QLab session would have 3 discrete video files- these are 3 separate video files (not mirrored) and 3 discrete audio files- Front L + R as a stereo track, Rear L + R as a stereo track and the Sub channel as a mono track, which will be assigned from QLab to the necessary outputs from the MOTU.
We do not have any live generative tounchdesigner stuff going on. All videos will be final and perfectly in sync with the audio. All video and audio will be of the exact same length and will have to be looped on QLab. The audio will be finalised once we do room correction and basic tweaks to the overall mix on the quad speakers at the space.
My main concern, as I’ve not tried this before, is will the Mac Mini M2 Pro handle this successfully. We’re confident about QLab working well for this installation!
Additionally, we were also exploring the possibility of using a Mac Studio as it gives us a lot more I/O. It gives us 4 Thunderbolt 4 ports, 1 HDMI port and 2 USB C ports on the front.
