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…

Chris Huff
05/10/13 01:47 PM,

Much like my article on using different types of smartphones as audio sources, iPads are something you need to consider. Let’s look a how to get the audio out. The iPad uses a common 3.5 mm stereo headphone plug, so connecting via the 3.5 mm plug is the easiest route to go. The back of your mixer/console is filled…

Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre Puts On Full Production With Soundcraft & JBL
PSW Staff
05/10/13 12:39 PM,
Over the years, London based live production company ARC Sound has produced many corporate functions in the Underglobe, the events space situated beneath London’s famous Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. But since the reconstruction in wood of the original Elizabethan playhouse on the Thames South Bank, a full production set up has never been allowed, or indeed attempted, in the main theatre space itself. However, all that has now changed. To celebrate the Bard’s birthday this month, a concert audio production set-up…

Church Sound: Setting Up The Monitor Mix To Avoid A Sound Check Disaster
Michael Hill
05/09/13 03:19 PM,
Provided by Sennheiser. Ever have problems with stage volume that’s just too loud? Combating sound issues from performers who can’t hear themselves play - much less think - can be tough. How many times have you pulled down the master faders to (-) infinity at front of house, and the sound coming off the stage was still so loud you knew you were going to get a visit from the head deacon or usher before the first chorus? Or how…
