Cue lists for live shows

QGO

One cue system.
Light and sound in sync.

QGO is a macOS cue-list workspace for theatre and concert work. Write your show once — your lighting console (ETC Eos, grandMA3) and audio timeline (REAPER) follow the same cues, from one table, in sync.

What it does

The cue list is the show

One source of truth

Numbers, names, fades, delays, notes, timecode — every cue lives in one table, in one file. Custom columns for anything your production tracks. Undo everywhere. Nothing hides in a console you can’t read.

Console sync — both directions

Send your cues to ETC Eos or grandMA3. Pull the operator’s edits back. Compare the two worlds side by side and reconcile them cell by cell — nothing is ever overwritten silently.

Audio follows the cues

QGO drives REAPER as its audio timeline: markers mirror your cue list, the playhead follows your selection, and timecode feeds the console. One push — everything lines up.

Verified, not assumed

Every write to a console is read back and confirmed. If a cue didn’t land, QGO says so — precisely which one and why. No green checkmarks over a broken sync.

Platform roadmap

One cue system. Every department — in time.

QGO is built as a cue platform: what ships today for light and sound is the foundation the other departments will stand on. Here is the honest state of each.

Light

Cue lists, timing, two-way console sync — ETC Eos and grandMA3.

Available

Audio

Playback, timelines and cue sync — today through REAPER; a native audio engine is on the long-term map.

Available via REAPER

Video

Media servers, content cues and visual timing.

Planned

Stage & Mechanics

Scenery moves, machinery cues, safety-aware timing.

Planned

Future integrations: lighting consoles (MA2 · Avolites) · media & playback (QLab · Resolume) · protocols (OSC · MIDI · Timecode) · multi-operator shows
