CueController is the cue-list manager for live shows that run audio from QLab and fire it from a Stream Deck through Bitfocus Companion. CueController is free to download. Using it requires a CueController Pro subscription ($69.99 per year, with a 2-week free trial). Every feature described below is part of CueController Pro. Build the show in one place — every sting, walk-in, voice-of-god and music bed — and CueController does the tedious part: it creates the cues in QLab on your Main AND Backup Macs, builds the matching buttons in Companion, copies the audio to each machine, and keeps all of it in sync as the show changes. GO LIVE Press Go Live and the whole show goes out: cues created (or linked, if they already exist) in both QLabs and put in show order, deck buttons created and laid out page by page, and the audio delivered to every QLab Mac. From then on every edit syncs — rename, renumber, reorder, add or delete a cue and QLab and the deck follow. A CUE EDITOR BUILT FOR SHOW CALLING • Import audio and cue numbers are read straight from the filenames • Drag to reorder — the numbers follow the new order • Group, renumber a selection, or fit cues evenly into a number range • Copy, paste and full undo • Pre-wait, infinite loop and "married" cues that fire together • Retarget a cue to a new audio file; QLab and the deck button follow • Set a cue's QLab output and level, for one cue or many at once YOUR NUMBERING, YOUR RULES Define your own cue types — STING 001–099, MUSIC 200–299, VOG, BED, SFX — each with its own number range, increment, colour and default Start/Stop or Start-only behaviour. SEE YOUR DECK A live mirror of your Stream Deck, one Companion page at a time. Buttons turn green while a cue plays. Drag buttons to rearrange them, drop them off the grid to delete, add Spotify Previous / Play-Pause / Next buttons for walk-in music, and a PANIC button that stops everything. MAIN + BACKUP, DONE PROPERLY Every cue goes to both QLab machines, and every deck button fires both. Audio is copied to the same folder on each Mac, so both workspaces point at identical files. Running one QLab Mac? Turn the backup off with one switch. PREFLIGHT Before the show, Preflight checks for missing audio files, duplicate numbers and numbers outside their type's range. ONE FOLDER PER SHOW Each show lives in its own folder on your Desktop with all its audio — easy to back up, zip, or carry to another Mac. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED CueController is free to download, and a CueController Pro subscription (an in-app purchase) is required to use it. New subscribers get a 2-week free trial. After the trial, CueController Pro is $69.99 per year, charged to your Apple ID, and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings.

- Opening a show keeps its Stream Deck button layout. - Go Live asks whether to keep Companion's button layout or CueController's, and shows how many buttons would move from the chosen start page. - With "Use a backup QLab machine" on, Stream Deck buttons fire both Main and Backup QLab. Existing buttons are repaired the next time you Go Live. - Renumber Selected: type the start number and increment. - While live, the Stream Deck page shows which buttons are playing. - Fixed a freeze when opening Connections.
