Sound Technical Rider Patch List

2 years ago by PsyKiere to c/audioengineering

Hello! Is it good practice in a technical rider patch list to group the violins for example under one line when there are a good number of them for better readability or should I give each one a line. For example the format would be: Input: 1-12 | Instrument: Violin 1 | Number: 12 | Microphone: ...

Also is there a particular order of instruments that should be followed?

Thanks!

Better to break them down. And I don't know about your specific case, but standard festival patch is usually:

Drums

Guitar

Bass

DI (synth, keys, tracks)

Strings

Horns

Vocals

Every input should be its own line on the input list.

Standard input order is rhythm, melody, harmony, Vox. That’s not to say you should split your violins up between melody and harmony, but your Cello’s are typically more melody focused than your violins are. (Thanks Pacabell). Everything builds on what comes before it, so whatever your foundation is comes first, which is usually rhythm. Next comes the feel, or melody, then comes all the sparkle and flavor in the mix or the harmonies. If the foundation is messed up, it doesn’t matter how nice the sparkle is it will fall apart.

Hope that helps.
