HOW TO WRITE A RIDER ?

Posted: Sat Feb 16, 2008 9:40 am

Guys,
I do mostly engeneering job at my own studio and other studios at Buenos Aires, Argentina. Ocationally, I work mixing FOH for some people that likes the way I work. The matter is that all that work is made in my home country where I know what to ask, where and how to ask it. The next year I will probably be on tour with a Tango Company in China, USA and UK. So, althought I've already made some riders here, I would like some advice on how to make my rider to Sound Companies in other countrys. Also, Do you have a Sample Rider?

Shows will take place mostly in theatres ( 1000-2000 people) the band is a Quintet (Piano, DoubleBass, Elek GTR, Violin, Bandoneon) and there will be Tango Dancers on Stage.

Any advice will be of great help.
Thank you in advance.

P.S.: I would like to post the Rider I already have but I don't know how. Any comments?

It's just text, isn't it? Include it in a "Code" or "List" box in a normal post, unless it's really huge.

Here is my sample raider.

(Following this text there is a scheme of the scenario)

(Then the list of channels ith their source, what is inserted in the channel, the type of boom and the mic)

I would appreciate some critics

Thank you
