This article is provided by Behind The Mixer. How do you decide upon a stage setup? That’s the question recently posed to me by a reader. It’s a simple question that leads to a simple, yet lengthy response. Setting up a stage is more than just placing gear and placing people, it’s all about… ...consistency.

This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. Maybe this never happens at your church, but at ours, we regularly have people on stage being interviewed. Sometimes they are telling their story, sometimes they are talking about or announcing a new ministry, other times they are reporting on an event or outreach we had. The one thing all these people have in common is that they are not used to being in front of people, nor do they really know how…

It has been over a decade since Sade took their infectious R&B on tour. But because the band has earned a loyal multinational following with hits spanning twenty-six years, Sade is among the rare acts that could still pack an arena based solely on its laurels. But Sade has not rested. The band’s recently released Soldier of Love debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and has since gone on to earn two Grammy nominations and multi-platinum status…

This article is provided by Bartlett Microphones. Some time ago I decided I wanted to find out how the location of a microphone near a banjo affects the tone quality you hear. To make these tests scientific as well as subjective, I measured the spectrum of the banjo in several different mic locations. The spectrum of a musical instrument is its output vs. frequency. It affects the tonal balance or timbre. It is the relative levels of the fundamental…

A serious illness or injury involving hospitalization, often a frightening experience for children, is typically compounded by boredom and isolation from days or weeks of life in an institutional setting. It’s now widely recognized that combating these psychological side-effects of in-patient care can boost patient morale and improve outcomes. With that in mind, Ryan Seacrest — American Idol host, radio personality, and TV producer — established the Ryan Seacrest Foundation (RSF) to enhance the quality of life for seriously ill…

This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. The first Wednesday of this month marked the sixth Night of Worship we’ve had at Coast Hills since I started there. Most importantly, it was the first one that I really didn’t have anything to do. That was kind of a weird feeling, but it was a good one. Normally, I’ve mixed FOH for those events, but I wanted to give Isaiah a shot. Just as I suspected, he knocked it out of…
