Prepare the next show before the van reaches the loading dock. PlotCue Advance turns one master stage setup into a venue-specific show advance. It keeps the venue contact, day schedule, technical limits, patch sheet, packing counts, change decisions, and open questions in one local workspace. SEE WHAT IS READY TO SEND Add the venue contact, load-in, soundcheck, and show times. A six-part readiness checklist shows exactly what is confirmed and what still needs attention. The percentage reaches 100% only when the required venue facts, input patch, conflicts, and questions are resolved. BUILD A PATCH SHEET FROM REAL INPUTS Every patch row comes from an audio source you entered. Review channel, source, connector, capture method, and performer-perspective stage zone. PlotCue never creates a microphone, DI, or channel just because an instrument icon exists on the diagram. PACK FOR THIS SHOW PlotCue derives cable, DI box, mic stand, wedge monitor, and power-drop counts from the venue variant. Use the pack list as a practical check before departure. ADAPT ONE MASTER TO EACH VENUE Record stage size, available inputs, monitor mixes, power drops, supplied backline, access notes, and venue questions. Resolve capacity conflicts while preserving the original tour master. Compare the variant with the master to keep removals, substitutions, and channel changes visible. SEND A COMPLETE ADVANCE PACKET Preview a PDF with the schedule and contact, readiness, patch sheet, packing list, adapted stage diagram, input list, revision decisions, and unanswered questions. Confirmed questions leave the open-question page without deleting the underlying venue facts. BUILD THE STAGE PLOT Place performers, instruments, microphones, DIs, monitors, power, risers, and custom items. Add explicit sources and keep technical details tied to the visual stage. Start with Quick Setup or an empty stage. TRY THE CORE WORKFLOW Create a stage plot, preview the rider, and export the first standard PDF free. PlotCue Pro weekly and yearly subscriptions unlock unlimited saved plots, clean PDF exports, and JSON backup tools. Live localized prices and renewal terms appear before purchase. Restore Purchases is available in Settings and on the paywall. LOCAL AND ACCOUNT-FREE Show advances stay on your device unless you choose to export or share them. No band account or cloud workspace is required. Terms of Use: https://smartaitomation.com/termsplotcueapp.html
