Thursday, February 17, 2011Tame That Squeal! Eliminating Feedback From Your Church Sound System
Bruce Bartlett 02/17/11 02:40 PM, 1 CommentFeedback in a sound system is that annoying howling or squealing tone you hear when the microphones pick up amplified sound from the loudspeakers. Sound from the loudspeakers enters the microphones, is re-amplified, and goes around in a feedback loop. Almost instantly, the sound builds up until a loud ring occurs - usually at a single frequency. Fortunately, there are many ways to kill feedback or prevent it in the first place. Quick Fixes Before the service, on each mixer/console… View this post

Thursday, February 03, 2011Church Sound Basics: Using EQ On Your Audio Console
Joe Wisler 02/03/11 08:50 AM, 0 Comments“You know, I’ve been doing sound here at my church for about two years now, and there are a couple of things that aren’t quite clear to me. First, where’s the bass and treble control? And, what are these knobs for - the ones on the console labeled high, mid and low?” I’ve heard questions like this posed more than once by people who do sound at their churches. And they’re great questions. Remember - we’re all in this together!… View this post

Wednesday, February 02, 2011Sound Operators & Musicians, Working In Harmony
Rob Stam 02/02/11 05:32 PM, 0 CommentsOver the past several years, I’ve had the privilege of being a musical performer and worship leader, as well as a church sound engineer and technician. This has provided unique perspective from both sides of the platform; what I’ve learned on one side has helped me do better on the other side, and vice versa. Through this process, I’ve noted several problems and solutions that apply to the technical side, the creative side, and both. I’ve refined these observations and… View this post

I’ve found some wonderful old kicks and snares with a lot of personality on some old 1970s LPs. My problem is that there is some amount of cymbal or hi-hat over most… View this post

Monday, April 26, 2010Understanding Reverb 101
Craig Anderton 04/26/10 10:37 AM, 2 CommentsThis exclusive article is provided by AudioFanzine. When we hear sounds in the “real world,” they are in an acoustic space. For example, suppose you are playing acoustic guitar in your living room. You hear not only the guitar’s sound, but because the guitar generates sound waves, they bounce off walls, the ceiling, and the floor. Some of these sound waves return to your ears, which due to their travel through the air, will be somewhat delayed compared to… View this post
