Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Pete. I come from the music production and tech worlds. PluggedIn came out of watching the same headache on repeat: a band cobbling a tech rider together in a Word doc, or a venue running a five-act night trying to make sense of five different rider PDFs (or none) and rebuilding the console patch from scratch at 4pm.
PluggedIn handles the boring, error-prone aspect of this process:
🎸 Bands build a stage plot once, drag on mics, DIs, amps and monitors, and it
auto-generates your input list, monitor list and a clean, pro tech-rider PDF to
send to any venue.
🏟️ Venues & engineers request a rider from every act on the bill, message the
acts to sort details, and get the whole night organized in one place, with a
head-start master patch you can export to any console.
It's free for artists to build and send a rider, and free for engineers when a
venue brings them onto a show. Venues and managers pay a simple monthly plan.
I built it to remove the grunt work, collecting and structuring the info, not
to replace the engineer's judgment. For FOH/monitor engineers, the plan's still yours; PluggedIn just hands you a clean starting point.
Would genuinely love your feedback, especially from anyone who's lived the
4pm-patch-scramble. What's missing that would make you reach for it?
Free for artists, free for engineers invited to a show. Running a venue or a
roster? DM me, and I'll be happy to extend your trial and help you set up your first show.
Thanks for taking a look 🙏

Honestly this is a lifesaver for smaller bands who always forget to update their rider. One thing that would be super useful is letting you save multiple stage templates so you can just pick the right one per venue instead of rebuilding it every single time.

@mcahithmua this is fantastic feedback and the point you brought up is exactly one of the main pains that this tool solves for.
Bands can create and save multiple tech riders designed for specific venues as well as band configurations (live vs acoustic set). The riders can be saved with specific names and when a venue requests a rider from a band/artists, they can then choose the appropriate rider from the list of all of their saved riders. Once they submit their rider, the venue can request modifications or confirmations directly through the platform. The artist can then make any necessary modifications to their rider and submit an updated version back to the venue, making the entire communication process very seamless.
