Thanks YoyoBen for your reply. This is complex, at least for me. I write good music but I have to realize that I'm not very good at cabling things together ! ;-(
If I may, here's the context. I am about to be invited to present/ "spatialize" LIVE a few of my works in front of an audience. We - the agent and I, agreed that my works would be presented in 5.1. I think it's a very good call because my works emphasize a lot on the Spatial elements of the music. My works are very immersive. I mix in binaural and meant to be listened to with headphones.
We don't know exactly as of today in which venues I will present my music. That means I can't get in touch with the Head Technician. Don't know the Hall size. And they will vary from gig to gig.

I need to remix my works in 5.1 in Logic Pro (v.11). I did the conversion of my works from stereo to Surround and started remixing. From what I'm seeing, everything is going fine (I wish no surprises...)
When my remixes will be done, I have all these "?????" for the next steps, and can't seem to formulate my questions clearly enough to receive good answers ! The Logic Pro user manual seems to come close but I don't quite get it.
Can I give it a shot here ? I'll go.
A) I don't have the budget to purchase a 6x6 sound card yet. So I presume everything will come out directly from a MacBook Pro. I also own a Mac mini. That's where I do all my work. I save and backup everything on a few HDs. I presume I would bring my MacBook Pro and HD to the gigs. Is that about right ?
1- The hall technicians need a "technical rider". I don't know what to write...
2- In which format, and how do I save my new 5.1 remixes in Logic Pro ? I have set up all the outputs/speakers in Logic.
3- Can I take for granted that my remixes will sound pretty close in a LIVE situation compared to my Headphones mix (AudioTechnica ATH Mx50) ?
4- Once my new 5.1 mixes are saved, what system must I tell the Tech guys to get for me ? I know it's a 5.1 but what exactly does that comprise if we are talking about a hall, not a living room ?
5- How do I hook up my MacBook Pro into that 5.1 system to have the music played ? I read that it can be done from a MacBook Pro port into the 5.1 system with HDMI... ?
Ouffff... !
Thanks so much for your patience and dedication to helping others make better music.
