Where it usually breaks
The venue asks for a rider and prep becomes a scramble
When stage layout and patch details are improvised last minute, the sound team gets incomplete information and soundcheck slows down.
What Bandger changes
Build one clear rider package and send it fast
Bandger helps you prepare a clear technical package: stage plot, patch list, notes, and PDF export for venues and engineers.
What you can do
Tech rider tools that keep concert prep clear
- Visual drag-and-drop layout. Place players, amps, monitors, and backline with a precise visual editor.
- Patch list generation. Manage input/output channels, descriptions, and quick channel reset when needed.
- Asset library. Use built-in icons and upload custom assets for your own setup.
- PDF export for riders. Export clean rider PDFs that venues and festivals can act on immediately.
In practice
Riders that save calls and confusion
Keep the stage layout, patch details, and sendable PDF together so the venue gets one clean version.
- Build the stage plot visually with players, backline, amps, and monitors in the right positions.
- Keep the patch list and technical notes on the same document instead of splitting them across files.
- Export a clean PDF you can send as soon as the venue or festival needs it.
