[QUOTE="Jordan Wolf, post: 33082, member: 316"] Re: Looking for an input template. I should note that I don't always use every column, but I leave it the same regardless. When you are using multiple subsnakes, it's nice to see what's connected to each one. For example, there may be a subsnake for the drumkit and another snake for the backline. This works out great when in a festival or BOTB situation where you are constantly moving stuff around and repatching. Umm...I don't know what you mean by "being marked", but "pocket" refers to a stage or floor pocket - it's more of a theater/install thing. Instead of (or, more commonly, in addition to) subsnakes, many permanent venues have stage floors with built-in pockets that contain various jacks and AC power. These usually go back to a patchbay of some sort (I prefer XLR) and can then be routed to whatever channel on the console FOH desires. My input list allows me to ensure that festivals, variety shows, or BOTB situations to go more smoothly - combined with some know-how and organization. I split my stage in half, creating a SL section and a SR section (some people zone them out further, I choose not to unless I have experienced hands). Then, each half gets the same breakouts - subsnakes, DIs, mics, etc. - and each piece is labeled individually ("Mic 1 SL). Then, even if I just check the Input List, I can visualize where on deck a particular instrument should be. It should come as no surprise that a Stage Plot is also a good thing to have. A lot of the time, stage plots are oriented for the band, but I find that unless they are used the thinking in stage orientation, they get confused and things end up backwards. I also didn't make the space any certain shape...I just let them draw their own layout and talk it over with them before the gig. [/QUOTE]
