Can't you just open the files in audacity?

I am working on a show and the people I am working with would like to use the sound effects during their rehearsal but do not have Macs so would not be able to play the cues off of their computers.
I have tried using Soundflower to transfer the sounds from Qlab to Audacity so I can try and make them into a file that I can either put onto a CD or just be able to email them, but I haven't been able to make it work for some reason.

Could someone help me with using Soundflower so I can transfer things to Audacity? Or if you have a better/easier way to transfer cues out of Qlab that non-Mac users can use, that would be fantastic.

Thank you!

The easiest way, as George mentioned, would be just to give them the target files. However, I suspect you've done some fades, edits, cue sequences, etc. that you'd like to make into files for them so that they behave similarly to what you've programmed in Qlab. If that's the case, what I've found works the best is using a program that captures audio from other programs - I find it a lot easier than using Sounflower, but the end result is similar.

The two I've used most extensively are Wire Tap Studio, and Audio Hijack Pro. However, I've recently discovered another program by Rogue Amoeba (they make Audio Hijack Pro) called Piezo, that is a much simpler and stripped down version of AHP. You have to start the Piezo first, select which program you wish to record from (in this case, Qlab), then Qlab will open, and Piezo will capture any audio that Qlab plays until you close Piezo. You can select different file types, but Piezo doesn't offer any lossless types, unfortunately - that's where AHP comes in. Then cue through your sequence and you'll have audio files that mimic what you've programmed. 

Both Piezo and AHP have demo versions that might suffice for what you're trying to do. Good luck!

Wire Tap Studio was one of my favourite Audio programs ... but unfortunately it's broken if you have Mountain Lion! It won't record without crashing the entire computer! So until they get it fixed (which seems a long time coming), I'm going to try Piezo as Mark suggested.

Hi kate

if youre still looking at soundflower -
change qlab outputs to soundflower
make soundflower audacity input and turn on playbackwhilerecording (cant remember name of the button)
put audacity in pause record and you should hear qlab thru audacity ready to record

i Second this

And to be more exact you find it in Audacity's Preferences / Devices where you can toggle between options for recording and playback.

If you are exporting your Audacity file or burn it on CD, keep in mind that out there are some hardcore Microsoft-users who are not able to open AIFF-files ;-}

Goodluck
