Introducing Win-Labs

A Windows Alternative to Q-Labs

Q-Labs is a powerful audio and show control software widely used in live events and theatre productions. However, its macOS exclusivity leaves Windows users without a comparable solution. Enter Win-Labs, a Windows-based alternative designed to bring the core functionality of Q-Labs to a broader audience.

Why Win-Labs?

While Q-Labs excels in flexibility and precision, its steep learning curve and platform limitations can be a barrier. Win-Labs addresses these issues by focusing on:

• Accessibility: Built specifically for Windows.
• Ease of Use: A streamlined interface for quick adoption.
• Core Features: Playlist management, playback controls, and more.

Key Features

1. Playlist Management – Create, edit, and save playlists with ease.
2. Queue Management – Organize playback order for seamless transitions.
3. Playback Controls – Play, pause, skip, and adjust audio with precision.
4. User Interface – Intuitive design with customizable themes.

Built with Modern Tools

• Programming Language: C#
• Framework: WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation)

The Vision

Win-Labs aims to simplify cue management for live performances, making it accessible to schools, small theatres, and independent users. While it doesn’t yet match Q-Labs’ full feature set, its focus on reliability and usability makes it a strong alternative for Windows users.
