Free, no card. Takes about ten minutes.
What a technical rider is
Four terms the scene uses. If you are starting your first band, start here.
- Rider
- A rider is an attachment to a contract. For a show, it is the attachment to the performance contract listing what the band needs to play. The technical rider covers sound and stage; the hospitality rider covers the dressing room and food.
- Backline
- The stage gear: amps, drum kit, keyboards, stands. The backline says what the band brings and what the venue must provide, with quantities.
- Input list
- The list of channels going into the mixing desk, in order: kick, snare, hi-hat, bass, guitars, vocals. With it the engineer sets up the desk before the band arrives.
- Stage plot
- The stage seen from above: where each musician, amp and monitor goes. Also called a stage map.
