The Single-Mic Technique: An “Old-Fashioned” Approach That’s Surprisingly Effective
Bruce Bartlett
05/16/13 04:08 PM,
What goes around comes around. From the 1920s through the 1940s, PA systems for music often used only a single microphone. Band members would gather closely around this mic, balancing their sound by moving toward or away from the mic. Radio broadcasts and recordings often used one mic as well. And over the past several years, this “old-fashioned” technique is making a comeback. Many bluegrass and folk bands use the one-mic method with surprisingly good results, typically using a large…

Church Sound: Keeping The Workspace Organized Is A Big Key To Success
Gary Zandstra
05/13/13 03:07 PM,
Having the luxury of visiting and mixing in many different church sound booths I’ve seen almost everything, from an 8-channel powered mixer sitting (precariously, I might add) on a chair to a fully loaded DiGiCo mixing board/workstation in a 20- by 40-foot decked-out production booth However, the most indelible impression that sticks with me about each and every booth that I have been in is the organization—or the lack thereof. Mama always said. “Cleanliness is next to Godliness.’ I don’t…
