JESUS CHRIST died for us on a cross for our sins. 3 days after his death he resurrected and was, is, and will be The LIVING GOD. Repent from your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior in a prayer and also ask for the HOLY SPIRIT to come into you in that same prayer as well and have FAITH in JESUS CHRIST. You could come to Jesus Christ as you are, but once you accept Him, you have to become new, change, and be born again, and also turn away from your wicked ways. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. God Bless You. The Bible is the true word of God. Please read the Bible and you will see Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Praise only be to GOD. Give your life to CHRIST. JESUS CHRIST IS COMING SOON FOR HIS CHURCH.
Rule #1 for the EQ nobs: set them during sound test and don't touch them during live performance unless you have preplanned settings at certain cue points. If no one ever did a sound test the default is normal.
Speaker placement is also VERY overlooked in smaller churches, makes such a different when you understand how sound travels, vertical and horizontal coverage, and the size of your room.

The biggest mistake in my church is that they complain about the bad audio quality even though they have good speakers but someone for some reason thought it was a good idea to set the speakers facing to the ceiling and it sounds horrible
I agree just leave it. Also the biggest issue I’m hearing here is that there is more than one designated sound guy and they’re letting people with no knowledge behind the board. That as bad as putting someone on keys in front of the Church that’s never played. If someone wants to be behind the board they are gonna need to study and show themselves approved.
I fixed a sound once where the volunteer "chief" was simply boosting bass on the preacher vox and we were getting pops feed back etc.. terrible.. I fixed it in seconds, he ignored it and did it again... and thennn I got blamed for interfering... we need a lot of PATIENCE when leading with people in general... (making a long story short)
They had someone come to my church (not sure if they were paid or just doing a favor) and actually had the sound as close to perfect as I'd ever heard. It only took an hour or two into service and 2 or 3 people fiddling with the board who had no clue whatsoever what any of those knobs do to ruin it again!
@@nuthinbutlove that's where you need a piece of tape with a line drawn on it to mark the settings (or write them down in a notebook or word document).
Hahaha! Thanks for your post! That's why I always say that there are Four types of people. He Knows Not and He Knows He Knows Not - Teach him. He Knows but Knows Not he Knows - He is Asleep, Awaken him. He Knows and He Knows that he Knows - He is Wise, Follow him. The fourth and the most Dangerous! He Knows Not and He Knows Not that he Knows Not!!! - Please Avoid Him.
'cause ya know, sometime our brother doesn't want to listen, their eagles not allowed them 😢😢. So please pray for all brothers who taking sound mixing or anything else in church
wow I have a mixer just like that but a little bigger. I know very little about mixing, equalizers, mids,highs,lows… I got really frustrated after trying to get the right crisp, bright vocal sound. But after an hour of twisting & turnin & pushing every knob on the board, I gave up😪 And you’re absolutely right. If you have no frickin clue what ur doing, “just leave it.” Haha. The greatest advice I’ve come across so far 😅
Not everyone is a good choice to do sound. If you have no idea what eq does or general sound knowledge, or bad ears for what good sound sounds like or compression does, this position needs teaching. Not everyones wants t I rn into doing sound. You are providing an important part of the service. Be teachable. I have been doing sound and video for a long time. This video hit a lot of important ideals.
Use your ears and not your eyes would be my first advice. Also make sure to research about low and high cut and eq settings as a starting point. Then when you think you know what you’re doing experiment from there.
Lol, I've worked in service and people will send back mixers as faulty claiming "only the left channel works". You get the desk out of the box and you see all the knobs, including the pan knobs, turned all the way to the left. And then you're like "yeeee, we're dealing with a professional here".
that green nobs can adjust sound frequenzy green on the top is for "high" high tones like z zimbals 3500 hertz to 20k hertz in the middle they called it "mid" it produce vocals sound, and the green on the bottom can adjust the volume of the bass they call it "low" its for adjusting low mid hi that can produce my voice in the microphone, instruments, and music from the mp3 or phone laptop, going to mixer and transfer to speakers.
The best thing we ever did was to get a digital console (XR18). I dial in the presets, and all others have to do is handle levels. Sounds good every week.
Volunteers ? Lol my church had assigned members, some on payroll. If you didn’t know the basics you’re done😂 I had to learn basics and that got me my own permanent seat
@@ChurchCinematics I used to work in a music shop, it was generally always the church musicians who play for God (free) that were buying all the boutique gear! 🤣
funny story. i work at a camp with a theater venue for kids to showcase their talents. they have a nice ass soundboard, some very nice mics and nice speakers. only problem is NONE of them know how to operate that stuff nor set it up. There's always a problem with the mics giving so much feedback from small movements. I'm actually gonna ask if I could just go to the booth myself just to see whats going on, because im like 99% sure they're using the gain knob as volume and prob has every EQ effect raised high
Some church volunteers are not professionals like you. Their main goal is to serve God. Help them, educate them if you can. They're volunteers, meaning they don't get paid.
@simcax6087 what's important is the willingness and the availability to serve. The knowledge can be acquired through other volunteers like you by teaching those who need to learn. God bless.
@@simcax6087 I think the main issue is that a lot of small churches don't have enough volunteers. So you just get picked to do sound stuff and they give you a little background information. I remember the first month I did SE, it was like fire. But if you are open to criticism and are passionate to make the sound better. You will learn every possible way.
The biggest problem I’ve experienced is not understanding that you need to turn mic gain up. It’s generally a half to a third of the level it should be.
I do know what they are …. And that is exactly what i do… Tone knob (low pass filter) on the guitar, E on the gain stage 1 Tone knob in gain stage 2 Eq for the reverb, eq for the delay And 5 knob eq on the amp 1 and 5 knob eq on amp two… And all i do it turn them till they sound good… and depending of the venue they will end up in a different place…. And you tell me… it would sound better if i just leave the amp how they are if i otherwisely just push and cut where my ears want to
There are some ppl that have a constant volume voice. Meaning you can play with the eq knobs. Other ppl are all over the place, in that case, leave the eq knobs alone.
I don’t add any be it as I don’t understand why I’m adding or taking away. I always get a professional to come set compression on our presnous board tho. It’s the only thing I like to add for our mix. To reduce the harshness if we get in to the -12 db range or a little higher
was on the road played keys in bands for years, and unfortunately too many sound men, it seemed were more concerned about how the knobs and faders Looled, rather than the what it sounded like
Is Amplifier ko Laptop ya phone se connect karke recording kar sakte hai? Ya kisi aur type ka amplifier hota hai please recording kaise karein us par video bana dein
Another common mistake I've seen in churches is that they'll mistake "bass", for "too loud" and turn the bottom end way down. Many, more traditional congregations will have a pianist as the lead, or maybe an acoustic guitar. That person will be highly regarded and the sound person will have them too high in the mix. Other instruments or singers will be mixed nearly out and the sound is awful. The perception is that it's too loud because of all the clangy midrange, but if they would warm it up with a bit more low frequency, it sounds less abrasive. Lots of smaller congregations with few people serving, and someone with little experience, or a bad ear, or just stubborn can make everyone's experience a bad one. Now if you go and approach the sound person be prepared for hurt feelings. Sometimes I think it would be easier with no PA system, or just the vocals coming through the PA. A decent musician should be able to balance their volume with the rest of the band.
This is very bad advice. If you don't know what a knob does LEAVE IT LIKE YOU FOUND IT! Unless you are willing to play with it during sound check and see what difference it makes, and return it to where you found it, unless you can improve it. In most of the small churches I have helped at, (many of them over 30 years of church tech work), the channel eq tends to be set like it is to reduce feedback from bad system design, or make low quality or headset mics sound decent. If someone who knows nothing about the system starts resetting them to Unity, you may all of a sudden get horrible feedback from a bunch of sources, or nasty plosives from the pastor during the sermon, or bucket based sound from the headset mic. I know even if I have to sneak into the sound booth when no one is looking when I am visiting a church, I am usually able to reduce that constant feedback whine from the podium mic, and make the pastor's mic sound 10 times better with a few knob tweaks, and hopefully no one ever touches the eq again, but this advice destroys all that tuning, and is like setting the Main system graphic EQ, or System Processor back to Unity settings, and destroy the system tune. Now, if the system is set up properly, with a system eq and good crossover settings etc, high pass filters on the mics, than you should be able to zero out the channel strip eq and be good, and on the bigger churches I ran, I set up the system processor so that most channels got zeroed for every service, because you had different mics or different users in each channel each service, but the headset mic channel EQ was left service to service, because it was set up for the specific voice and mic combination, and we had one pack dedicated to the Head Pastor, and the Countryman needs very specific EQ, so it didn't get touched. But all the handheld stuff was zeroed as a matter of practice for every event, and then tuned in as needed for the specific users. But I was able to train everyone on the team, and was there for most services anyway lol But in the scenarios you are talking about, I can almost guarantee you that the same mics are left plugged in the same channels week to week, and no one is going to be adjusting for individual voices, and the chances they have a system eq or processor are very slim, so the channel strip eq is the only thing dealing with feedback frequencies or mic tuning, and thus should NOT be touched unless you already know what you are doing, and can get it back as good as it was, or better.
"They just don't know what any of these knobs do" Say that again! How can you have a job and not have a clue how to do it? What's more, if you know you don't know what those knobs are why not spend a little time playing with them until you're familiar enough to adjust it for the better? 😒
So I run my churches audio interface and I am the only one who toutches it, the guy before me was Proally in his 50-60’s and I’m only 15 so I reset everything and as church goes on I change it if needed, I’ve been doing it for about a year now so everything is set hoş it needs to be and I may make a few adjustments here and there but there is no order to my board because everything is different
Will changing the settings on this board remove feedback? I’m trying to help a very small church, now my church to figure out feedback issues that are very distracting…. It’s like a buzz
If there’s a buzz, you need to figure out which channel the buzz is coming from. Buzzing is different from feedback. There’s probably a cable that is deteriorating. Try finding out which channel is creating the buzz and then see if you can swap the cable. If that doesn’t help, Google “how to fix ground noise”
@@toni4jesus2if it's a buzz even when there is no sound going through the system, it's probably a ground loop or bad cable. Figure out what channels it's on, and then try unplugging whatever is plugged into the snake on that channel. If it doesn't go away, try unplugging the snake from the board. If it still doesn't go away, it may be something wrong in the board. If it's in the snake, maybe switch to a different snake channel. If it goes away when you unplug a mic cable from the snake, try swapping out the mic cable. If it's still there, it may be in the microphone or DI the mic cable is plugged into. If it's coming from a bass amp or keyboard or something, try flipping the ground lift switch on the DI, or try putting a DI in that has a ground lift switch. And it may be coming from an amp or something and you may not be able to make it go away without replacing it or doing something more major. If you have feedback, as in a squeal when someone is talking into a mic, then the eq can help with that, you can turn down the frequency of the feedback, but don't reset all the eq knobs like this video says, unless you know how to set eq, because there may be a reason why they are where they are, such as stopping bad feedback! Lol
Don’t reset what you don’t know!!!!! Just don’t touch. Someone has been fighting with an untreated room. No eq and you might as well turn the system off
I am curious too. I have over 50 years being around audio, and video, and would love a deeper dive than this short vignette. You wetted our appetite. Now time for the main course. Share the knowledge, or at least link a knowledge base to learn from. Rather than what is done incorrectly. Teach us the correct way. Talk about sound treatment, Real Time Analysis, Microphone placement, and much much more. House of worship is a cool place to learn, and grow, and serve the Lord too. I know, I've done, and have a new church, and will do more. I want to learn the Vista lighting system too. So much happening in the live Venue front of house, and back of house AV. You have a golden opportunity to shine. Just saying. Your move now.
@@ChurchCinematics Well someone should. House of worship is a cool place to be. Many videos do exist. Probably I would have linked a few good Mixer how toos with your video so people can check out at least the basics. Cheers.
Learn if you don't know , if not Google it and study audio . Or your church will sound terrible. Volunteers are in need of training .it is not that hard. And their is rules.
People don’t want just advice they wanted knowledgeable advice. Okay , if they don’t know what these nobs do then make this a knowledgable video for them . Instead of telling them to put the frequencies knob to zero , help them learn . They adjust those knobs to produce the best possible sound acc to their ears and knowledge .
Nah biggest mistake is not knowing the gain knob from the fader. They put the fader on +10 and assume that is “max volume.” Then the audio is both quiet and distorted from the fader amp when the gain knob isn’t set correctly. That and 31 band EQs - nobody needs those things.
