A rider shouldn't live in five different files
Build Technical Riders
in One Workspace.
Two PDFs, a spreadsheet and a few screenshots: that's how most riders reach the venue. Rider Duck puts the stage plot, input list, monitor mixes and backline in one project and turns them into one PDF the venue can work from.

Technical rider software for bands, engineers and production teams.
Most rider workflows live across scattered PDFs, Word files, and old email threads. Input lists, stage plots, and backline notes drift out of sync, and every venue ends up with a slightly different version of the truth.
Rider Duck is a technical rider builder for live production. Organize input and output lists, monitor mixes, RF and wireless requirements, console setups, backline and other technical needs in one project. Export everything as a clear, professional PDF for venues and production teams.
Everything the venue asks for, in one file
Each section lives in the same project, so the stage plot, the input list and the backline never contradict each other.
Stage plot
Instruments, risers, monitors and backdrops on a stage drawn to scale.
Input list & monitor mixes
Channels, mics, stands and phantom power, plus every monitor mix, IEM and wireless system.
Consoles & patch
FOH and monitor desks, stageboxes, splits and the digital patch between them.
Backline
Drums, amps, keys and DI boxes, with quantities, notes and who brings what.
Lighting & production
Fixtures, LED walls, truss, haze and the rest of the show around the band.
Hospitality & crew
Dressing rooms, catering and the crew the venue needs to contact.
Technical conditions
What is required, what is preferred and what you won't accept, in plain words.
Venue-ready PDF
One branded file, in six languages, in metres or feet.
