Church Sound: Getting Great-Sounding Sermon Podcasts
Mike Sessler
04/09/13 09:48 AM,
This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. I listen to a lot of podcasts. Several hours a week, I’m at the gym working out (which is why I’m so buff), listening to a podcast. One thing that drives me nuts is having to constantly adjust the volume on my iPhone because the level of the podcast is all over the place. I used to listen to a lot of sermons from other churches; some large churches that you would have…

More To Carry: Gig Savers Come In Many Forms
Craig Leerman
04/01/13 06:19 PM,
Recently, I detailed a checklist of “everyday carry” (EDC) tools that stagehands should always have on hand at every gig (see it here). It met with such a positive response that I’m going to share additional tools that invariable make me more efficient, and the job a bit easier. While this might seem like a lot to lug around, I’ve found these items to be well worth the added weight and hassle. To simplify transportation, I break them up into…

Gary Gand
02/05/13 05:42 AM,

My goal is to inform and educate the less-experienced sound people that I work with on a regular basis from my spot at stage right in front of my guitar amp, behind my 36-pound pedal board, in my seven-piece blues, rock, soul – and whatever…
