Dave Rat 09/08/11 08:20 AM,To accomplish anything in life, we, as humanly creatures, must utilize an assortment of resources to accomplish any given task. For example, going to a store to purchase something involves brain time in making the decision to venture out, “wear and tear” on our vehicle, and the depletion of our finances – all are expenditures of resources. Even something as simple as watching TV, in which our visual and auditory perceptions are held captive or distracted, can be viewed from… View this story

Bruce Bartlett 08/18/11 02:01 PM, 1 CommentThe sound check is critical – if well done, it gives the band confidence in you so they can relax and just play. And when you give the band the monitor mixes they need, they perform better. In this process, first you do a line check. Are all the mics and DIs connected to the right inputs and working okay? Then you do a sound check: set the levels, EQ and mix, with the goal of everything will sounding great… View this story

Kent Morris 08/12/11 08:01 AM, 2 CommentsDenominational and theological differences between churches are as weak as sewing thread in comparison to the divisive question of drums in a worship service. Where some congregations see a method of regulating tempo and establishing new musical styles, others envision a source of noise and an infiltration of secular values. Should churches incorporate percussion instruments into their musical compositions? If so, how should appropriate use be determined, and by whom? Is an acoustic drum set superior to an electronic one?… View this story

Sully 08/10/11 12:49 PM, 0 CommentsSixty minutes ago I was wearing bunny slippers and watching Mexican soap operas with my robe open. Then the phone rang. Now I’m dressed and making small talk with management at 40,000 feet on a Gulfstream G150. In 120 minutes or so I’ll start mixing a show absolutely cold in front of 60,000 people at the Houston Rodeo. A mere 360 minutes after that I’ll be back in my robe in Nashville with or without the bunny slippers. As the… View this story

Old Soundman 08/09/11 04:03 PM, 3 CommentsDear Old Soundman: I’ve been asked to be the “sound dude” (or “concert operations manager” as I prefer to call it)... That’s kind of funny, but also kind of silly. Don’t get me wrong, when I was a young pup like you, titles meant a lot to me too. ...for a local band, since once upon a time I was a “roadie” for the likes of Brooks & Dunn, Randy Travis, Sammy Kershaw and others. Hey, what’s Randy Travis really… View this story

Keith May 07/06/11 09:23 AM, 0 CommentsThe past 50 years have witnessed the birth of rock, punk, ska, hip hop, electronica, emo and so many other genres of music, that one has to be either obsessive compulsive (or in college) to distinguish between them all. During this same period, there have been countless refinements and enhancements in the technology, that allow us to record, play and appreciate music. Despite all the sonic and stylistic changes that music has undergone since the 1950s, the most common vehicle… View this story
