Chris Huff 02/07/13 05:51 PM,This article is provided by Behind The Mixer. The front of the church sanctuary is where all eyes are focused. It’s the place where the pastor presents the Word of God. It’s the place where the congregation is lead to worship in song. It’s the place where people kneel at the cross. It’s the place of most importance. I believe it’s important to note the use of the word “stage” before going on. The room is the sanctuary. The… View this story

Gary Zandstra 02/06/13 06:22 PM,With the plethora of new (and affordable) digital mixers on the market, it’s easy to be overwhelmed with features, options and pricing. So how do you determine the right board for your situation? I use the same criteria as purchasing an analog console with just a few additional twists. When purchasing an analog console, there are five primary aspects that I suggest looking at. (Well, six if you include price.) 1) Quality. I’m a big fan of “touching and feeling”… View this story

Mike Sessler 02/05/13 01:59 PM,This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. I’ve been having quite a few discussions of late as to what separates great technical artists from, well, less great ones. More specifically, the discussions have focused on the reasons it’s hard to train people to be great tech artists, and why it takes so long. You see, it’s not enough to simply know how to use the gear. In most cases, that’s the easy part. No, the real challenge is to know… View this story

Brian Gowing 02/01/13 10:25 AM,This article is provided by Gowing Associates. You’ve read all the stories about losing your valuable data on a computer. Maybe you’ve experienced a loss of data. Whatever the reason, you’ve been convinced that backing up your data is the best possible protection against data loss. You’ve set up a scheduled backup either locally on an external drive/CD/DVD or you’re using one of the many online backup services. You keep multiple versions of the most important files and you… View this story

Mike Sessler 01/30/13 05:37 PM,This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) sounds like a highly abstract concept. But it’s really not. It’s also something that churches—sadly—tend to miss out on. TCO is simply a calculation of what a particular product or service is going to cost you during it’s life. It has become popular in automotive circles, with some manufacturers boasting about the fact that while their car might cost a little more to buy, it will cost less… View this story

Gary Zandstra 01/25/13 09:01 AM,A colleague of mine recently shared a term that took me by surprise. The term was “fader rider,” which my colleague had given to one of his sound operators. He went on to describe a particular operator that would show up and run the sound board only using faders. It didn’t matter what the board was set up for, this person would just use what was there and if something was not patched or the monitors were not right, too… View this story

Charlie Moore 01/24/13 08:04 AM,Having been directly involved in the professional side of audio for a long time, I’ve worked with countless church sound systems from just about every perspective: church member; sound operator/mixer; selling and installing design-build systems; and bidding, selling and installing consultant-designed systems. What I’ve found is that regardless of the quality of a given system, they all share one huge variable: the users. So often, problems can be traced directly to the people using the system, the “talkers” behind the… View this story

Vance Breshears 01/18/13 06:37 PM,“Hi, my name is Bob. I’m with “xyz” church and we’re designing a new worship center,” says a voice on the other end of the phone. “The architect told us it’s time to get a sound guy involved, so I’m calling you.” “Oh no,” I think, “this is the first sign of trouble.” After talking with him to get initial information about the scope of the project, we get to the heart of the problem: “Most of the building design… View this story

Mike Sessler 01/15/13 12:25 PM,This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. After sorting our input lists, stage cabling and custom boxes, the next step to optimizing our stage is not really on the stage at all. For me, the final phase is getting an optimized baseline show file for each position. In this post, we’ll be discussing audio files (in the digital world), but much of the concepts apply to lighting, presentation and video as well. The Baseline Show File When I refer to… View this story

Al Keltz 01/10/13 02:01 PM,Unbalanced signal lines are characterized by the fact that the cable and connectors use only two conductors, a center conductor surrounded by a shield. Examples of unbalanced wiring are found in tip-sleeve 1/4-inch guitar cords or the cables used with many CD players and tape decks that terminate with RCA phono-type connectors. In an unbalanced configuration, the shield surrounds a single center conductor. (Figure 1, below) The shield stays at a constant ground potential (as it is connected to ground… View this story
