technical
specification and Riders
Musicians.about.com
defines Tech-spec as a band or agent providing information to a venue
on the artist/bands equipment requirements and what equipment the
artist will be bringing. Its all down to audio interfacing.
The
tech-spec can also be a listing of the venues in-house equipment and
technical capacity.
My
personal tech spec for my next gig/open mic event is as follows:
- Audio interface x2
- Bass Guitar/Guitar
- Laptop
- System 1 Plug-out, MIDI and USB Synthesiser
- Launchpad
- Oxygen Keyboard
So
this leaves me only needing access to 4.4 audio cabling to a sound
system. Other than that my project partner and myself are quiet self
sufficient for our live work.
A
very good example of a Tech spec for a facility such as a venue or
recording studio would be The WEC studio equipment guide. I Have
attached an excerpt of this to give a fair idea of the 'load-out' of
a audio capable facility.
Riders
Although
I have not taken into account riders for my own project, it has been
known for artists to apply for extremely unusual or demanding riders
just to 'see if they could' get them.
Vice.com
created a list of 'ridiculous riders' just to give an idea of how
outrageous they can get. However they are usually demanded by well
known and established artists who have the reputation and influence
to be able to acquire them.
A
self start would have to ask for far less in order to be considered
sane.
