Technical Pre-Production

We’re with you every step of the way.

From the day your album mix is finished to your first show.
We handle all the technical preproduction for your live performances.

Turning Vision into Reality

Our pre-production process begins with extensive discussions to understand your desires and specific needs. We talk to each musician to get a clear understanding of their requirements and work with production to define the scope of the tour, taking into account budget and freight limitations.

From there, we design a complete performance system, including each musician’s station, gear integration, cabling, and transportation logistics. We also design the network for MIDI and system communication, ensuring seamless integration with lighting and video.

Once approved, we move forward with budgeting, building schedules, and planning technical and musical rehearsals.

We handle the full build process—creating custom racks, controllers, cabling, and preparing everything for transportation in flight cases or Pelican cases.

We program sessions, including stems and samples, and ensure all gear is fully programmed and integrated.

If you need additional crew members, such as operators or video engineers, we can provide them as well.

Finally, we conduct technical and musical rehearsals, train your crew and operators on the new setup, and accompany you for the first few concerts or the rest of the tour, ensuring everything runs smoothly from start to finish.

System Design

Need a great rig for your show?

At Custom Live Rigs, we’ve spent 15 years fine-tuning our craft in system design and rack building, so your live show can shine.

Built Around Your Performance

Every artist has unique needs, and every show demands a setup that works without compromise.

Our process begins with understanding your vision—working closely with musicians, production teams, and engineers to design a performance system that fits your workflow seamlessly. Whether your setup is computerless or relies on a multi-computer redundant network, whether you need simple backing tracks or an intricate multimedia live effects rig, we cover every possible configuration.

We carefully select and integrate the right gear, ensuring your system blends new and existing equipment into a road-ready, efficient, and rock-solid rig. Whether it’s a fully custom build or one of our pre-designed solutions, our systems are engineered for power, reliability, and fast, hassle-free setup.

Once the design is finalized, budgeted, and approved, we move into the build phase—handling precise cabling, hardware integration, and rigorous testing to ensure every component performs flawlessly.

From there, we deliver your rig in the optimal transportation setup, whether it’s a Pelican case, flight rack, or custom touring solution, and provide your crew with the training they need to operate it with confidence. So when it’s time to perform, you know your rig is ready to run flawlessly, night after night.

MIDI / OSC / Network Design

Total Control, Intelligent Connectivity

From MIDI and OSC to network-based control, we design systems that keep your performance tightly connected across all elements
keyboards, effects, lighting, video, and playback.

Bringing Everything Together

A modern live show demands precise communication between instruments, playback systems, effects, lighting, and video. We design and configure keyboard setups, program changes, effects triggering, and scene automation for FOH, lighting desks, and video servers, ensuring every element of your show responds exactly as needed.

Our expertise covers network-based MIDI and OSC, enabling real-time control across multiple computers and show elements. We integrate MIDI-to-DMX, MIDI-to-ArtNet, and OSC-based communication with lighting and video systems, creating a direct and reliable bridge between music, visuals, and automation.

Beyond traditional setups, we incorporate NFC tags to MIDI, networked control surfaces, and sensor-based triggers(motion, touch, and proximity) to expand creative possibilities. Every system is designed with detailed schematics, structured signal routing, and precision cabling, ensuring stability, efficiency, and reliability in any live setting.

Live Video Systems

Unlocking New Creative Possibilities

We specialize in media server setup, playback synchronization, and real-time video processing,
giving you the flexibility to explore new creative possibilities on stage.

Designed for Performance

A live show demands accuracy, and video is no exception. We build media server setups, playback synchronization systems, and real-time processing tools that ensure every visual cue happens exactly when and how it should. Our systems are designed for tight integration with lighting, playback, and automation, giving you full control over every frame.

Using vvvv, Stage Designer, and Resolume Arena, we enable real-time video manipulation, looping, chopping, resampling, and generative effects, making visuals an active part of the performance. With MIDI, OSC, and timecode integration, video elements respond dynamically to your show’s timing and interactions.

From compact club setups to arena-scale productions, we design video systems that are efficient, reliable, and built for touring. Whether you need networked video control, show automation, or custom playback solutions, we provide systems that deliver—night after night.
