Reggae Band Stage Plot Template for Live Roots Shows

What this template covers

This reggae band stage plot template is built around the instrument that actually carries the song: the bass. The bass cab sits deep and wide on stage right for a full low end, the guitarist works a clean skank rig on stage left, and the keys player runs a two tier rig, one keyboard for the organ bubble and one for piano stabs, positioned center stage behind the singer where roots bands usually put their keys.

The one drop lives in the pocket between kick and bass, so keep the kick mic and the bass DI on adjacent channels for an engineer riding the low end together. A wide stereo spread on the two tier keys rig also gives the organ bubble room to sit apart from the bass instead of fighting it for the same frequencies.

The input list derives a full kit, one mic'd guitar cab, a DI'd bass guitar, four keys channels from the two tier rig, and two vocal mics for the lead singer and a harmony vocal from the keys player.

How to use it

Open the template and resize it for your real stage. If your band runs a single keyboard instead of a two tier rig, swap that icon and the channel count will follow. Rename channels and reposition wedges to match your band.
