Going on tour and need a rider that actually delivers? In this solo episode, Lu breaks down how to plan, pack, and execute reliable live sound on a world tour. Learn why your tech rider is a blueprint, not a wishlist, how to prioritize monitors and IEMs so the artist always hears a clear mix, and how to design sensible substitutions and backups for real-world venues. We cover FOH and monitor workflows, Dante-based recording to Nuendo Live for virtual soundchecks, adding crowd ambience mics to in-ears, carrying your own talkback, RTA mic, DI boxes, and the checklists that keep a team on time. We also get into mindset: punctuality, preparation, and owning mistakes. If you want fewer surprises and better shows, this is your playbook.What you’ll learnHow to write a rider that venues can actually fulfillFOH and monitor roles when the artist runs IEMsSensible substitutions for consoles and wireless systemsWhy UPS power and gear redundancy save showsUsing Dante Virtual Soundcard and Nuendo Live for multitrack recordingVirtual soundcheck to build mixes before the band arrivesAmbience mic placement for more natural in-earsPacking the essentials: talkback, RTA, DI, cables, backups, show filesWhy organization and accountability beat “more gear” every timeSUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBEJoin the ‘Mixing Music Podcast’ Discord!HIRE DEE KEIHIRE LUHIRE JAMESFind Dee Kei and Lu on Social Media:Instagram: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLu @JamesParrishMixesTwitter: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuThe Mixing Music Podcast is sponsored by Izotope, Antares (Auto Tune), Sweetwater, Plugin Boutique, Lauten Audio, Filepass, & CanvaThe Mixing Music Podcast is a video and audio series on the art of music production and post-production.
