My name is Chris. I am an audio engineer and photographer based out of New Jersey. My primary audio work is in live sound at a local music venue as well as home studio recordings.
The content you will see on this channel is mostly audio related, but I will sometimes show other aspects of my life.
Because I’m not an obsessed fan that worships everything a band does. The sound and mix of the album is amazing, but the songs sound like they’re trying to be mainstream rock instead of metal.
Glad to see you well, no job is worth giving up every ounce of energy and time. Good to hear you'll be contuing the vids at least for now, as i must say they've been invaluable to me, and your answering some of the comments i have gave me the confidence to continue getting into live sound, i've now mixed a musical with wireless headsets and i'm about to mix a choir! Stay well
I live less than 100 miles from this church. If they need some maintenance in the future and you’re unable to fly all the way out, I’m more than willing to help. ETA: I’m the FoH engineer at the Backyard Bar, Stage, and Grill, and freelance with a few bands on the road.
Middle managers get pleasure out of sucking the souls about their underlings. I swear they have a secret room in their house full of soul crystals of all the former employees.
As someone whose employer is rapidly shifting to standard corporate mindset and strategies, I'm looking to get out sooner rather than later. You'll never meet their expectations as they are designed to increase in perpetuity. Push someone to the breaking point, fire them, replace them with someone cheaper who doesn't know yet, maximize profit. Rinse/repeat. Glad you got out in time and best of luck!
Glad to see you back Chris. I know a few people that have suffered with mid management burnout and it can destroy people. Glad you are out of it and happier. Looking forward to the church mix down videos. They are some of my favourite vids on YT. Missed em. Even watched a couple of them again in your absence. lol
Welcome back! You were missed this past month. Any interest in doing sound for bands at other venues? If so, think about what you would want to charge and DM me or add it as a service on your fiver page.
You don't owe your subscribers anything, as we are not paying you, so ease up on your self. Its nice that you care but don't worry about us. Thanks for posting.
You’re technically right, but you guys dedicate time to watch and engage with me so I owe you all at the very least an explanation as to why I’ve been absent.
@@chrishammillaudio Good point, thanks for the update. As to your Patron page you could run different price points for different services, the lowest tier, could be just a monthly token of our appreciation. Just a thought, love the Mustang, is it a 2010?
I can definitely do a $5 “thanks for being awesome” tier with names of all patrons in the video description. The Mustang is a 2008 GT Deluxe. Bought it with 35k miles and one previous owner. Garage kept.
I’m not a fan of the new S650s. I don’t like the huge screens and Ford locked the ECU so you can’t modify and tune. The previous S550s (15-23) are the newest I’d go, but I prefer the old school look of my gen despite not being as fast as newer versions.
Good to have you back Chris. Patreon sounds like a great idea, how about offering guys the chance to come into the booth with you at Dingbatz for an evening? Sure a lot of folk would love that. Best wishes for the future.
That’s a great idea, but anyone can buy a ticket to any show I work and hang out. I guess if I put this in a bracket that is the same admission price that could work and I’d just cover admission at the door.
It’s insane how bad real estate companies treat photographers and videographers. I worked for a guy selling houses for a bit and holy shit do they undervalue what we do! They make like $20+k off of one sale but apparently only have a $500 marketing budget? Ya ok lol
The company I worked for - you see their commercials all the time. They own just about every big name in commercial real estate and just bought a big company for 3D tours. I was well paid - six figure salary. That salary came at a very high mental cost and inappropriate ways the company treated employees.
Dealing with realtors is easy. I always can upsell them on drone images and floor plans. Theyre mostly cheap but quality always demands a higher price especially when I show them my portfolio.
Just wondered the other day, why I haven't seen a video from you for while and checked the channel if I missed something. And now you're uploading this. Nice to hear you're in a good place!
I just happened onto this video. Thank you for it. We are having a big problem with our church’s livestream also. I’m not sure if it’s the same problem and the same fixes would help us. The issue: The worship team mix in the house is great. We have a dedicated channel from the audio mixer to the livestream, which is supposed to mirror the house. It does not. The stream is so…off balance that we are not going to include the singing on the stream anymore until we can get it fixed. Any suggestions? Please 😢
