Thanks for addressing the issues we deal with every week serving our local Churches. By sharing your experience, knowledge and insight through your videos, we can make our worship experiences less stressful and more God glorifying. Love you brothers.
Priceless content. Thank you for sharing. I'm in this weird spot where I'm an Engineering Student at NC State and have a great internship at a tech company and job opportunities ahead of me, but also help lead worship at a local church in Cary. Whenever I watch your guitar tutorials it touches my heart and makes me want to serve God that way. It's hard to decide if I need to chose one or the other, or if I can do both. Thank you for all you do.
Matthew Parker bro just wanna let you know I’m in the same boat. I’m studying electrical engineering and am interning at a great company but my heart isn’t in it. I serve as worship director at my church and plan to pursue ministry after college. I encourage you to follow your passion man! Seek first the kingdom and all else will be added to you!
Cole Kellam thanks for sharing man! I'm glad to hear you're pursuing what God has put on your heart! For me, I know that I could reach the lost in the workplace as well, and also, with all that money, God could be planning to send out missionaries and send kids to camps and what not. So you never know. I love both.
Sunday Vlogs have always been my favorite thing on your channel, but this one was especially great. I was inspired and had fun within the same video. Thanks for that Brian!
I absolutely loved this vlog. My favorite you’ve done so far. Just going through a Sunday morning and answering little questions and showing behind the scenes was awesome! Thank you! I’ll be on the lookout for more videos like this!
Those are some good engineering tips there. Of the three good tips you talked about perhaps missed the most important one. Gain staging which is simply the very first thing engineers pay close attention to when they first set up their Console or mix. If the gains are not right then they’ll be a good chance the rest of the mixing will be slightly chaotic and definitely not able to run to its full potential. When setting up your gain staging make sure the signal coming into each channel is at its most dynamic part or loudest passage and turn your gain up just to the point where it starts to Peak and then back it off 6DB so that you have a little headroom for unexpected dynamic signals. Back in the days when I first learned this craft there was no such thing as digital so we would gain stage everything to 0 DB and if we had a little bit of extra peaking it just made for a nice tape saturation sound anyway however in the digital world, Peaking equals distortion and digital clipping which is something nobody wants to hear so make sure you have a little safety margin there! This gain staging should be done with each and every new channel going into the console and make sure the faders on the board arent compensating for too hot or too low gain structure which is the way many people tend to run their boards. I see it all the time and even get told well it sounds OK but that does not make it right. It’s like having low air in your car tires, yeah you can still drive it but it’s definitely not going to perform the way it should and you’ll wear stuff out. Good fundamentaly solid habits make for better results every time. Check your gains people👌
Totally agreed in the Delay and verb sends separately controlled. I don understand why engineers don't tend to speak it out that bosting the required frequencies to stand it out the mix is necessary in many cases. That's what they have been doing with the analogue channel strips. Espically the SSL channel strips.
I feel like only cutting frequencies came around when digital consoles came out and you could see what the eq graph looked like when eqing a channel. When I used to mix on analog consoles, you would do all kinds of crazy stuff to the eq just to make it sound good, because you were mixing with your ears not your eyes. Boost away my friends, boost away!
What drum enclosure do you guys use/Would you recommend that one or possibly a different one? Our worship center is in desperate need of containing the almighty sound that is within the drums! Love that the VLOGS are back
Btw... Thanks for all your tutorials you've helped me learn to play guitar and help lead a worship service in my church here in Winston Salem, NC. I would love to come see you guys and worship with you.. Maybe soon!
Our church looks pretty old and sad and me as a teenager is trying my best to get the church to modernize a bit. I think that the church will attract more people to come to the services. But the problem is the old people and their tradition and how they want it as it has always been. How do you recommend me to get my ideas through? (sorry for my shitty English, I´m from Sweden)
Thanks for the great vlog! I sent Dave an email but haven’t gotten a response yet... I’ll just give him the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps his email blew up with requests and he hasn’t been able to respond yet.
Dave does not mess around. But being honest - we shot the intro part (where I asked him to share) before the first service, but ran out of time. So we filmed the tips after the first service.
This is great my church just have a keyboard and a guitar. But I'm hoping one day we could get some more equipment. Nun of the instrument belong directly to the church.
Must say thanks for all those Guitar lesson. I played the guitar in church. need a piano player now. All are my My personal equipment. You Guys are doing a great job. I live in Guyana South America.Only English speaking country in the south america
200hz??? That’s a lot! I was expecting like 100 Hz. 200 hz is the fundamental on vocals, electric guitar, piano, and acoustic guitar. Are you sure about that number?
Hi ! Do you have a proper way to setup the volu;e between the Mixtender app and the wireless in ears in order to get a good full sound in our in ears ? Thx
