Ridermaker lets you design, edit and manage stage plots and channel lists in minutes, without complications, from any device.
Problems with the traditional method
Still creating stage plots in Word, Paint or Excel?
Creating a stage plot with generic tools is slow, tedious, and error-prone.
Finding the right elements, designing the stage layout, and putting together a clear channel list using non-specialized software takes a lot of time and effort.
The results are usually outdated and difficult to interpret documents, saved only on your computer, which generate confusing setups, slow soundchecks and an inefficient and frustrating technical experience.
Asking AI doesn't solve it either, and it ends up costing you a lot more time: it isn't deterministic (ask twice and you get two different riders), it doesn't use the dedicated, standard elements of the live sound industry, and you can't see your riders and templates visually to reuse them for the next show.
Ridermaker: Created by technicians, for technicians
Ridermaker was born with a clear objective: to solve the real problems faced by sound technicians, producers and musicians in planning each concert. We know what's needed because we've lived it.
The platform allows you to centralize all technical information in one place, accessible from any device to create clear, precise and reusable stage plots in very little time.
Furthermore, the tool has grown by continuously listening to the needs of its users —sound engineers, producers and musicians— to offer truly useful solutions in the day-to-day of production.

- Save time at every concert: Duplicate, create your templates, reuse and modify previous stage plots in a matter of minutes.
- Avoid doubts and technical errors: Reduce unexpected issues during setups and soundchecks by having everything in order for the concert.
- Accessible from any device: Save your projects in the cloud, edit them when you need to and download them as PDF to share.
- All in one: stage plot, channels list, monitors, contacts, schedules... all in a single clear and organized document.
- Straight into the mixing console: Load your channel list into the desk straight from a USB stick on Behringer X32 / Midas M32, Behringer WING, Yamaha RIVAGE PM and Soundcraft Ui12 / Ui16, or through the editor app on Yamaha CL / QL, Allen & Heath dLive, Allen & Heath Avantis and Behringer X Air / Midas M Air — channel names and colors in seconds instead of typed one by one. The import is non-destructive: it never touches EQ, dynamics, mutes or patching. Channel names and colors only. See the supported mixers and how to load the file.
- Professional design: Carefully crafted clear and functional structure fully adapted to the professional environment. With customization options and more effective than any manual solution.
