Select the cue in the playlist, and then go down to the tabs at the bottom of the screen (Info/Triggers/Levels etc.). In the Levels tab, you'll see output faders and "crosspoints." If you turn up the crosspoints for a specific set of outputs you send the sound of that cue to those outputs. Turn the rest down and your sound will only go to the selected speakers. I hope that makes sense; I've not got QLab in front of me at the moment.

I can see 8 faders but only can control 2 outputs.... I'm confused....

Define what you mean by "Change where the sound comes from". Do you want a specific cue to be routed to a specific speaker? Describe your sound system set up.

I have 8 speakers that are separately running thru MOTU 896HD. I want to change which output a specific cue is run thru. However I cannot control the outputs on the Cue Inspector Tab. That's my issue. Yes my license exists and yes I can run the outputs in the edit device routing page.

So you highlight the Cue, open the inspector, click on the level tab (not the trim tab). Do you see the 2 input controls? (circle dials) and the 8 (or more) Output controls?

I see them.... BUT only 2 of them are controllable.

That usually means that Qlab is not seeing the midi interface properly. In preferences, audio device routing you should have 1 wire from say Patch 1 to the motu device. Sometimes people have had more than 1 wire to a device and it made the device unhappy. I assume that you have installed the Motu driver?

yup... MOTU is installed on the laptop... and all speakers play when run thru iTunes

When you start your motu device, what does the motu software pop up say?

sounds to me like you are using the free version of qlab, which only allows stereo output. to use more than two outputs, you'll need to buy or rent a pro audio license from figure53.com

What had happened was that the crosspoints were not selected properly. Props to the help support crew for QLab when I emailed my problem I had someone working with me with in 30 mins. They went thru things from the most common and worked thru the audio path til they found what I had not known. (I had a rental license for the run of my production and that was the first question)
