An online technical rider for DJs and live acts
A rider sent as a PDF starts going out of date the moment you send it. One that lives at a link is correct for every venue that already has it — including the one that booked you months ago.
The attachment problem
Most riders travel as a file. That file gets forwarded, saved to a desktop, and re-sent by someone who is not you. By the time it reaches the technician setting up the booth, nobody can tell whether it is current.
Worse, a file written as free text has to be interpreted. "2 CDJs and a mixer" is technically satisfied by the oldest hardware in the building.
How StageLink handles it
- Pick from a catalogue. Media players, mixers, controllers, turntables, monitors, microphones, effects, interfaces and booth accessories — real brands and models, searchable.
- Group into setups. A club night and a festival slot often need different monitoring. Name them separately in one document instead of maintaining two files.
- Add notes where it matters. Equipment names stay untranslated, because a venue reads model numbers. Only your notes are localized.
- Share one link. It sits inside your press kit and on your public page, and it prints cleanly when a booker wants a file to forward.
Discontinued equipment stays in the catalogue rather than being deleted, so a rider written last year keeps rendering exactly as it was written.
What it costs
Nothing. The rider is part of the press kit and is included on every plan, free included. See what belongs in a rider if you are writing yours for the first time.
Who this is for
- DJs playing club and festival dates who are asked for a rider by every venue.
- Live electronic acts with a setup that does not fit a standard booth.
- Anyone who has arrived to gear they did not ask for and could not point at a document.
Can I still write in equipment that is not in the catalogue?
Yes. Anything not listed goes in as a free-text line, so you are never blocked by our list being incomplete.
I already have a rider as text. Do I retype it?
No. Existing text is parsed against the catalogue and offered as a suggestion you review before anything is saved — a rider is a document a venue acts on, so nothing is written automatically.
Can a venue print it?
Yes. The press kit has a print view that produces a clean PDF, which is what a booker forwards internally.
Included on every plan.
