The channel list, built for real gigs.
Stop fighting with Excel sheets on your phone. Gigbuddy turns your channel list into a live workspace where stageplots, patching, and picking lists actually talk to each other.
Stop chasing "Patch_v4_FINAL.pdf".
Replace scattered emails and chat threads with a single shared plan that updates instantly for FOH, Monitors, and the stage crew.
Traditional channel list
- Static PDFs and Excel sheets with outdated patch notes.
- Versions flying around in email chains and WhatsApp groups.
- No connection between the stageplot, input list, and what needs to be prepped.
- Manual copy/pasting every time the band updates their rider.
- Manually counting mic stands and subsnakes to build picking lists.
Gigbuddy
- Stageplot and input list update instantly for everyone.
- One shared link. See exactly who is looking at or editing the patch.
- Everything is connected. Drop a mic on the plot, it's in your inventory.
- Built for speed. Ripple editing, groups, and festival patch tools.
- Picking list generates automatically. Prep the gig in half the time.
Tools that actually speed up your prep.
Start by dropping stageboxes on the plot, then route your inputs. Our deep database of mics, stands, and DIs means you stop typing "SM58" and start actually planning the gig.
- Drag-and-drop stageplot items that actually link to your database.
- Paste straight from an Excel sheet to import a patch in seconds.
- Templates let you clone a standard drum kit or full input setup instantly.
- Ripple routing and multi-edit tools designed for FOH/Monitor splits.
- Festival mode: overlay patches for multiple bands and plan changeovers.
Collaborate without the chaos.
Send a link to the touring engineer to let them review the patch or update their own plot. You see exactly what changed, and the local crew gets the update immediately.
- Real-time sync. FOH updates a channel name, monitors sees it instantly.
- Presence indicators mean no more overwriting each other's work.
- Give the stage crew view-only access on their phones during load-in.
- You decide who has access to edit the gig.
- Share a public link so the touring engineer always has the latest spec.
Outputs that make sense on a dark stage.
Whether you need a clean printout for the stagebox or a festival overview to survive a 15-minute changeover, we've got you covered.
