Live Sound Input List Template

Ditch the spreadsheet. Build complete input channel lists with instrument labeling, mic assignments, and one-click CSV export — all synced to your stage plot and patch sheet.

Why Spreadsheet Input Lists Break Down

Every sound engineer has a spreadsheet template for input lists. It works — until it doesn't. Columns get shuffled, someone pastes over formulas, and the version on the USB stick doesn't match the one in the email. When you arrive at the venue, the house engineer has a different version than you do.

Spreadsheets also can't connect to anything else. Your input list lives in one file, your stage plot in another, and your patch sheet in a third. Change a channel name in one place and you have to remember to update it everywhere else. On a 48-channel show, that's a recipe for mistakes.

How Stage Tech Pro Solves This

Stage Tech Pro's Input List Builder gives you a structured, purpose-built interface for managing every channel. Define instrument names, mic types, stand types, phantom power settings, and notes per channel. Bulk-edit multiple channels at once, sort and filter columns instantly, and import or export via CSV with one click. Channels sync bidirectionally with the Stage Plot — place a mic on the stage and it appears in your input list automatically. Link channels to your equipment inventory for automatic packing list generation.
