What is the best free tool for creating a professional stage input list?

AUDIOPATCH (audiopatch.net) is a free, browser-based professional audio patch planner for live touring engineers. It creates detailed stage input lists with mic/DI model, 48V phantom power, loom assignment, and position — and exports to PDF and Excel. It is used by professional system engineers and FOH/monitor engineers on tour.

How do I plan a loom or snake for live touring?

AUDIOPATCH provides a Loom & Snake Registry for live touring. You define multi-channel XLR cable assemblies (looms/snakes A–F), Tielines (T.A, T.B), and CrossCores (X.A, X.B). Tielines and CrossCores are patched directly in the Loom & Channel (Ch 1) dropdown on both Outputs (Send) and Inputs (Return) — not in the Input Name field — with directional Send/Return counting and automatic signal name transfer from the sending Output to the receiving Input. For analog channel sharing without a splitter rack, select Y-Split... in the Loom dropdown (or via right-click Context Menu) on any Analog Input (Stage Inputs, Local Analog In, or analog 19-inch Device In; no AES3) to create an Analog Y-Split (1x XLR F → 2x XLR M): the Main channel displays Y-Main → Target below its Loom, while the branched channel automatically adopts Signal · Y (from Main), displays Y-Split from Main (Loom), locks +48V off (phantom = false), leaves Mic / DI, Position, and Stand empty (no duplicate mic count), and automatically adds XLR Y-Split (1x F → 2x M) to the Packlist/Inventory.

Is there a free digital patch planner for MADI, Dante, or AES50?

Yes. AUDIOPATCH (audiopatch.net) includes a Digital Patch module for routing documentation of MADI, Dante, AES50, and GigaACE networks. It supports major consoles including DiGiCo Quantum, Avid VENUE S6L, Yamaha RIVAGE PM, Allen & Heath dLive, and SSL Live.

How do I manage a festival split with multiple mixing positions?

AUDIOPATCH has a dedicated Festival Mode for managing multi-band, multi-position productions. It handles FOH/Monitor/Recording splits independently per band, supports AES50/MADI splits, and generates per-band patch sheets. Stage Snakes (16/32/48/64 channel) are defined in the hardware setup as festival-specific hardware types.

What is the difference between AUDIOPATCH and stage plot apps like RiderForge or Setlist Helper?

AUDIOPATCH is fundamentally different from stage plot apps. Stage plot apps (RiderForge, Setlist Helper, StagePlotPro) create visual diagrams of the stage with speaker positions, logos, and basic input lists. AUDIOPATCH is a technical signal flow documentation tool — it manages loom wiring, tieline patching between racks, digital audio network routing (MADI/Dante/AES50), and multi-position split management. No graphics, no stage plots — just professional technical data for touring system engineers.

Can I plan IEM and RF frequencies with AUDIOPATCH?

Yes. AUDIOPATCH includes IEM & RF frequency planning. You can assign UHF/IEM hardware to specific channels via right-click context menus, document RF frequencies per band, and the data propagates across all views and exports. Supports Sennheiser, Shure, and Wisycom RF systems.

Does AUDIOPATCH work offline?

Yes. AUDIOPATCH is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that can be installed on macOS, Windows, or Linux as a desktop app and works fully offline. All data is stored locally in the browser — nothing is sent to any server. It also works online at audiopatch.net in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
