Appendix 1 SuperLimitBreak Technical Rider

\underline{Band members:}

Name Role
Joe Drums & AV Tech
Allan Synth, Bass & AV Tech
Lyle Lead Guitar
Matt Rhythm Guitar
Choco Vocals

Input list

SuperLimitBreak can run their performance in two different configurations. In one configuration the cubase machine provides the full mix to the desk, in the other the cubase machine provides separate audio stems to the desk.

These setups are normally chosen between based on the experience of the sound engineer and technical constraints that may appear throughout the setup process.

\underline{Cubase full mix:} (5 x XLR)

No Type Role
2 XLR Stereo Mix
1 XLR Backup Acoustic Guitar 1 DI
1 XLR Backup Acoustic Guitar 2 DI
1 XLR Backup Microphone

\underline{Cubase stems:} (16 x XLR)

No Type Role
2 XLR Stereo Drum Mix
2 XLR Stereo Guitar 1 Mix
2 XLR Stereo Guitar 2 Mix
2 XLR Stereo Vocal Mix
2 XLR Stereo Synth Mix
1 XLR Stereo Bass Guitar Mix
2 XLR Stereo Backing Audio Mix
1 XLR Backup Acoustic Guitar 1 DI
1 XLR Backup Acoustic Guitar 2 DI
1 XLR Backup Microphone

In both cases a set of acoustic DIs and a backup microphone will be required. In the event of a tech failure during the set, Allan and/or Joe will be required to reboot the equipment on stage. To make this process as seamless as possible, Lyle & Matt will play some acoustic songs to cover the time. This is the purpose of the 2 DIs and backup microphone that by-passes our entire tech stack.

Performance Requirements

Backline

  • 1x 20amps of uk single phase stage power on a mains plug strip (pure sine not modified square wave)
  • 2x Guitar DI box

Frontline

\underline{Monitoring:}

SuperLimitBreak use their own in-ear-monitoring system and do not require foldback monitors. However a talk to stage system to allow the sound engineer and the band to converse would aid during the setup process.

\underline{PA system:}

SuperLimitBreak can provide their own PA system provided the audience size is minimal (<120 people).

For larger audiences the venue is expected to either provide (or rent at their own expense) a PA system that matches or exceeds the following specs.

  • Minimum of a 3-way system (high,low & subs)
  • Can provide 96dB(spl) at the centre of the audience. Reasonable steps should be taken to ensure an even coverage across venue with minimal harmonic and phase distortion.
  • For larger rooms and audiences, delay fills will be necessary. Please ask for details on this if assistance is required to configure this system.
  • Appropriate hardware for tuning the PA should be provided (e.g. Graphic Eq with a minimum of 31 bands, adjustable delay boxes for each delay fill).
  • Ability to record the FOH mix is desirable. Bonus points for discrete channels.

SuperLimitBreak can provide consultation on selecting and configuring an acceptable system.

Staging

SuperLimitBreak require a minimum of 6m x 3m (width x depth) of stage space. This is due to the lighting rigs used during the performance.

Lighting

SuperLimitBreak have enough lighting to run a performance, however venues are welcome to add to this if able to. A desirable feature would be to have an engineer controlled hazer that could be monitored during the performance for appropriate smoke volume.

It is important for venues to note however that two projection surfaces are used during the show. These should be kept as clear as possible from any incident light sources and can limit the placement of stage lighting.
