lol yup

James, You are spot on brother!!! Have you secretly been at one of our services? This is EXACTLY what I experience every time I run the Live Broadcast but with your videos I have viewed and the tips I have picked up it all works out and sounds well. Is there room for improvement, always but I am pleased at what I hear and hope the Lord is also. I receive many comments from people that tell me, Hey I can tell when you are running the Live Broadcast so I feel I am doing something right!!! Probably our biggest problem since were are mixing in the same room is our headphones. We do get some FOH bleed even though they are closed back style. I am researching to find some really good noise cancelling but I know we will have to pay for them. Thanks again for your Sound Wisdom!!!!! Garry

Lots of times I walk out of the room. Get a drink, use the bathroom. Just something that'll take me out of the room for 5-10 minutes so that my ears can readjust. Then I'm hearing closer to what everyone else when they show up and complain it's too loud lol

Great tip!

I'm gonna share this with my Boss...

Great tips! Something I've found that helps is when sound checking and gain staging... always a few decibels below target for vocalists. Without fail our vocalists are about 2 to 3 db louder during service than SC or practice.

Yep.

my favorite is when someone says after practice if i could increase or decrease the volume on so & so on the monitors, good times.

Thank you bro

Thank you 👍👊

I definitely am pretty foggy in my brain at the end of a club show at 1:00 in morning. I've never asked anybody else if this happens to them so that's good to know I'm not the only one.

8:50 YES!!!!!!

Good stuff brother, I need my kick drum tho. haha

#4. Mixing in solo on headphones and you take them off and ta-da it’s artificially louder in the house mix.

What would be the best way to mix audience/congregation mics for FOH/Broadcast and the best way to mix with choir mics for FOH/Broadcast

Imo, congregation mics ie “room” mics should not be in FOH mix they are for the broadcast mix. Add to broadcast mix to taste with a high pass filter and no EQ or compression.

Choirs mics I would try to get an omnidirectional mic on each section Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass. I like to put a multiband EQ on each one and get them as loud as I can without feedback. I then compress them aggressively and add make up gain to make them sound more present or forward in mix. At FOH you adjust each section to taste and on broadcast you can really basically make them as loud and balanced as you want to taste. I would pay the most attention to Soprano section because they sing the melody. I then add Tenor Section. Lastly, I just sneak Alto and Bass in their to fill the space.

Love the video! Been doing sound for 12 years for our church and also moved into playing bass so… yes it’s all about the low end! But, what is a sound tech solo?

He’s referring to moments where everyone looks at you - a sound tech solo. For example, crazy feedback
