For Studios & Engineers
A Real Inventory for Gear That Never Leaves the Studio
Keep studio equipment, serials, purchase records, locations, and working signal chains organized and documented.
Fixed gear still needs a real record.
Microphones, preamps, outboard gear, monitors, instruments kept in-house. Because it doesn't travel to a gig every week, it's easy to assume it doesn't need the same discipline as touring gear. It's usually the most valuable equipment in the building, and the least documented.
Catalog by serial, not by shelf.
Every mic, preamp, and piece of outboard gear gets a record with serial number, purchase information, and condition: the documentation an insurer actually asks for, ready before you need it.
Document recurring signal chains.
A go-to vocal chain, a drum room setup, a mix bus configuration: document them as Rigs so a setup can be recreated exactly, whether that's for a returning client or a different engineer covering a session.
Track service and calibration history.
Tube changes, alignments, repairs: keep them on the equipment's gear history instead of a sticky note near the rack.
FAQ
Studios & engineers, answered.
Can studios use RigVault?
Yes. Studios can use the same inventory model to document instruments, microphones, amplifiers, processors, racks, accessories, and other physical equipment, along with identifying, purchase, maintenance, and organizational information.
Can I document a recurring signal chain or session setup?
Yes. A Rig captures a working configuration (a vocal chain, a drum room setup, a mix bus routing) so it can be recreated precisely later.
Is this useful if my gear never leaves the studio?
Yes. Loadouts are for gear that travels, but inventory, insurance documentation, and gear history are just as useful for equipment that stays in one room.
Give your rack the paper trail it deserves.
Start with the piece of gear you'd have the hardest time replacing.
