Does anyone have any standard tech riders for a QHCF line-up (3 gtrs, violin, double bass) + vocals for venues/festivals supplying sound?
I came up with these, but I feel like I'm missing something:
Stage Requirements:
Soundboard with at least 8 discrete channels, separate controls for monitors, and appropriate power amps for the venue and monitoring system
Two (2) stage monitors, right and left
Five (5) XLR direct lines with quality direct boxes for instruments. The Soiree musicians usually bring their own DI boxes/devices with XLR DI outs, but venue must have back-ups.
Two (2) Shure SM-58 vocal microphones with on/off switches with boom stands
Three (3) folding chairs
Yes, I intentionally omitted the reference to the bowl full for green M&M's backstage!

Plus I find the sound of SM58s to be a little harsh sounding, I know they are nearly indestructible but really there are way better mics for vocal.

• Two (2) Shure SM-58 or equivalent vocal microphones with on/off switches and windscreens, mounted on boom stands
