Ridermaker

Ridermaker is a browser-based tool to create stage plots, input and output channel lists, and complete technical riders for live music and events. It runs in any browser with no installation.

You drag and drop from a library of more than 400 sound and lighting items — instruments, microphones, monitors, curtains, truss and lighting — and can size, rotate, flip and layer them. The channel list supports custom columns, channel colors and a separate output list. Production notes, monitor details and technician contact information can be added, and everything is exported as a single PDF ready to send to a venue or festival.

Channel lists can also be exported directly to digital mixing consoles: Behringer X32 / Midas M32, Yamaha CL/QL, Yamaha RIVAGE PM, plus a generic CSV patch sheet for other desks. The import only writes channel names and colors — it never touches EQ, dynamics, mutes or patching.

Other features include shareable links, custom images, background image import, and a public directory of professional profiles (Tech Hub).

The free plan stores one stage plot with unlimited PDF exports. Pro (19 €/year) and Premium (29 €/year) add more stored projects, custom channel columns, output list, mixer export and further options. Available in English and Spanish.
