Gary Zandstra 08/14/12 11:14 AM,Often times, it’s only through the critique of others that we are able to see the deficiencies in our systems, which is why I’m often called to visit clients services “in action.” In the hopes that you may find some of follows below is an excerpt from the recommendations I made to a church client following a visit to their Sunday morning service. The most prevalent issue throughout the sound check was that while the band sounded great, it took… View this story

Kent Margraves 08/09/12 10:28 AM,This article is provided by Sennheiser. Have you ever seen an artist remove one earphone on stage? Why is that? One common reason is that they “can’t hear” or are uncomfortable with their mix when wearing both earphones. They are certainly comfortable with their raw/open ear(s), as they’ve been using them reliably for a long time! But if the monitor mix is really needed and is suitably delivered to the earphones, they should wear them. One good way to… View this story

Steve Harvey & Dave Lewty 08/03/12 04:59 PM,For any church that offers a contemporary service involving a praise ensemble, and even those presenting more traditional services that involve a substantial choir, it may be necessary to provide monitoring for the musicians and singers so that they may hear themselves and their colleagues. Assuming that the sound system supports more than simple voice reinforcement and includes sufficient microphones, amplification, loudspeakers and a mixing console, how can a church engineer provide monitoring without substantial financial outlay? For those unable… View this story

Mark Frink 07/14/12 01:41 PM,Though there are other conventions, it is generally agreed that the kick drum goes into the first channel of the console, and for time immemorial, inordinate efforts have gone into tediously adjusting it. Sound check never really starts until after this first input has been tweaked to satisfaction. The kick drum is the cornerstone of rock. It puts the pop in pop music and is the one input that holds it all together. It’s the heartbeat of rock and roll.… View this story

Mike Sessler 07/12/12 09:55 AM,This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. A few weeks ago I was having a discussion about the sound quality of our monitors with our sax player. He’s a very discriminating guy who really knows sound. If he says he needs 185 cut 3 dB, he needs 185 cut 3 dB. As we listened to his wedge, it was clear that the sound he was putting out of his horn was not being faithfully reproduced by the wedge. I knew… View this story

Greg Stone 07/10/12 11:16 AM,I’ve often joked that my funeral ceremony will include a small monitor wedge next to the casket, with a sign on my chest that reads “I’d like a little more of me in the monitor.” It’s a way of finding humor in a comment that sound mixers hear all too often. On a more serious note, watch out! Trying to accommodate “more of me” can quickly provoke an endless string of errors that can turn the strongest mix master into… View this story

Karl Winkler 07/03/12 03:08 PM,After a few years away, recently I’ve returned to working with live sound in the field, at the request of a classical musician friend who talked me into it for a series of concerts with his contemporary group. We’re talking a modern version of classical music style – think Steve Reich and Nathan Davis – using traditional instruments combined with electronics in a variety of ways. Some of it has effects, some of it has pre-recorded material that the musicians… View this story
