Since breaking into the music scene in 2002, Juno Award-winning composer/producer Ian Nieman has created an array of hits and remixes for the likes of Mariah Carey, LeAnn Rimes, Nelly Furtado and Jason Derulo - all with the help of his API equipment.

This article is provided by Church Audio Video. Acoustical treatment is something that most studio engineers are quite familiar with. However, many church audio technicians have only a passing understanding of the subject. So, rather than telling you what treatment you need for your space, here’s a primer on different types of acoustical treatment.

When first starting out in audio, a newcomer will hear terms that may seem like a whole new language. These terms are very common to hear in arenas, union halls, theatres, and similar venues. While not so common in clubs, even there you can hear some of these terms used by the seasoned veterans of the business. This would be particularly true of clubs that work with regional and national touring acts. You can expect to hear experienced production people…

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. The email included this statement: “Most of the time we just show up to church and spend a lot of time just trying to…

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…

From a technical standpoint, the useful life expectancy of the mixing console you purchase this week is six to ten years at best. Its growing repair costs coupled with improvements in console design will warrant purchasing a replacement unit within that time frame. It’s also likely that your need for inputs and outputs will have grown beyond the capacity of that console, so it will be time for a change anyway. There are over 40 manufacturers of consoles. Finding the…
