STAGE PLOT → INPUT LIST → CONSOLE FILE

load·in: Build the Stage Plot Once. Load It Onto the Console.

load·in turns instrument placement into a channel list, then writes a native file your desk actually reads — so the names on your scribble strips came from your plot, not a second pass of typing at 9am load-in.

Core plot editing and local .show projects work offline once cached. No sign-in required to try it.

File safety policy

Console files are handled conservatively. Supported same-console round-trips start from the imported source and patch only the fields identified in the export preview. Unedited source data is preserved by the tested workflow, and unrecognized structures are refused. Cross-desk generation starts from a supported target template and does not imply full-setting translation. Always verify the result in the current official editor or on the target desk before show use.


Ten Console Workflows

Every workflow ships with its own export preview — the exact list of fields it writes, before you write anything to a card. Scope is not identical across desks. Check the preview for the desk in front of you.

Free: X32/M32/X-Air native scene export. Every other workflow ships with Pro. DiGiCo, S6L, and SQ don't have a dedicated page yet — their scope lives on the console support page until they do.


What Else Is in the Box

RF coordination with regional regulatory profiles — FCC, ISED, ETSI, Ofcom, BNetzA, MIC, ACMA, ANATEL, KCC, and an International band set for touring.
DAW template export — Reaper (.rpp), Ableton Live (.als), Adobe Audition (.sesx), Cubase/Nuendo (.xml), Ardour/Mixbus (.ardour).
Paperwork in ten languages. Console files stay in English, by design.
Offline operation for core plot editing and local .show projects, once the app is cached.
2D and 3D stage view.
Tech-rider import and generation — paste or upload a PDF rider, or build one from the plot.
Power summary.
Blackout theme.

One Project, Three Surfaces

IPHONE

Walk the room and place inputs as you find them — before the drummer's finished loading in.

IPAD

Lay out the full stage with your hands: drag risers, wedges, and mic stands until the plot matches the rider.

DESKTOP

Sit down for the long advance: build the channel list, generate console files, and send the paperwork.

The portable .show project works across the iOS app and the web app. Account-backed features require the applicable purchasing or licensed account.

Questions Before You Use It on a Show

What does load·in do? Build stage plots and input lists, import supported console files, create scoped console exports and DAW templates, coordinate RF, and generate technical paperwork.
Does it translate every console setting? No. Coverage differs by console and firmware. Each export preview states what is written, preserved, or unsupported. Verify every console file in the current official editor or on the target desk before show use.
Can it work offline? After the web app is cached, core plot editing and local .show projects can work offline. Purchases, accounts, sharing, and some import or export workflows require a connection.
What does it cost? Free includes up to 3 saved plots, watermarked PDF and PNG exports, CSV export, and native X32, M32, and X-Air scene export. Individual Pro is $99 one-time with no recurring charge.

Who Built It

load·in is built by a working touring FOH engineer — someone who's done the 6am call after a 400-mile drive. Support is a person, not a ticket queue: email support@goforshow.io and it reaches someone who has stood at the console you're asking about.

Stop retyping the channel list.

Build the plot, export the file, verify it in the desk's own editor.

Always open an exported console file in the official editor, or verify it on the target desk, before show use.
