Above are our band's Mic List/Tech Spec, Monitor Mix and Stage Plan.

It is important to prepare a Tech Spec/input list for a gig so that the sound engineer can gain an understanding of how many instruments there will be and what cables will be used to plug them in. Likewise, it is important for a band to know what they want in a monitor mix to save time at the venue. Saving time on that gives more time for the band to soundcheck/line check and get a better sound for the audience which creates a better performance.

A stage plan is very important for a band as they can plan their choreography around where everyone is. They can also get an idea of where they can move around and which musicians they will be next to so that they can communicate with them more.
