Question 1

How do I make a stage plot online?

Accepted Answer

Create a free account, then drag mics, DIs, amps and monitors onto an interactive stage. PluggedIn auto-numbers every input into a clean input list — no design software or hand-drawing required.

Question 2

What is a tech rider, and how do I create one?

Accepted Answer

A tech rider tells a venue what your band needs on stage — inputs, monitors, backline and stage layout. PluggedIn turns your stage plot into a print-ready, professional tech-rider PDF you can send to any venue in seconds.

Question 3

Does PluggedIn generate an input list and monitor list?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As you build your stage plot, your input list, monitor list and stage-requirement sheet are generated automatically — and you can reuse them as templates for every show.

Question 4

How do venues collect tech riders from every act on the bill?

Accepted Answer

Venues request riders from each act by email, track who has submitted, schedule the line-up and soundcheck, then PluggedIn consolidates every rider into a single master patch for the night.

Question 5

Can I manage tech riders for multiple artists or a whole roster?

Accepted Answer

Yes — managers and agencies run their entire roster from one login, building and submitting stage plots and tech riders on behalf of every artist, with unlimited riders per act.

Question 6

Is PluggedIn free to try?

Accepted Answer

Artists start free with a 7-day Pro trial (no card needed) and can stay on a free plan with one stage plot. Venue and manager plans include a 14-day free trial.
