The vocalists (and awesome EQ) were giving me goosebumps

Bro this is so cool. It’s like being in a mix of a frat house living room and a pristine chemistry lab.

Room sounds huge ! And the board mix is great as well.

I knew it was a matter of time before we got to Max 😄 his gear is so sick! I’m not a professional engineer but I know a thing or two; this video showed me I really don’t know shit 😂

That heavy smoking is triggering me so hard 🤣

Great Studio - the cigarette and drink makes me nervous. Or is it the Jägermeister Sign 😂

Hey Chris, You're doing an amazing work on helping churches across the country improve their sound mixes while not tampering too much with the existing systems. I myself am a worship leader in our church and I wanted to know if you could give some tips on areas of improvement in our church mix if I shared the link of the live stream with you. That would be of great help

my eyes! those drum heads it hurts!

I’m in Texas if I was able to send you a copy of our current scene would you be able to work on it and send me a corrected version so that I could have a base line

Can you do a video on the how to fix lost of control of the outputs on a X32 we just moved into our new church and the guy who set up the system did something wrong to the routing that I can’t figure out and it’s killing the quality of my house and my live stream

Just tuned in from UK for a listen to your band setup Mick. This the journey Im on as just formed my first band a year back, not too shabby for a pensioner lol. Always been solo. This is activity has led me to the A&H mixer, so good to see how this all comes together for you. Tight band. Enjoyed. Also enjoyed the sound engineering linkage here.

Equipment taken and stolen could very well mean 2 different things. Anyway, great job getting them together.

Very helpful. I am in the midst of purchasing tix for colorado now. I was going to do presale or enhanced experience but I think i will just wait for 2 day open. what you described is my feeling about beyonce concert at sofi in 2023 and i paid $290 plus extras like buffet dinner $75 and of course the special silver outfit lol. i described it as a reverb or echo plus i was not happy with the seats i got for that amount. seat selection and sound are very important. THANKS!

You def should get your own Discord server. Also very happy to hear about your Patreon plans.

nice'

The band being upstairs is so stupid to me … how do they see? Lol

God Algo send this channel🎉🎉

I’ve seen several of these now, and great job on all! It floors me how few churches have someone that can do this well. Guess there just aren’t enough audio nerds like us. Haha The kindness of those folks was a beautiful thing. And yeah, be kind. Negativity just takes so much energy. It’s draining. Great work Chris, and thanks for sharing!

this is awesome

ok so for those who just want the bands or one band out of the group that played tonight... 18.05 Servants 1.21.00 Sabotage 2:15:30 Carpool Kamikaze 3.13.00 May They Rest

no WING?

first act is definitely a vibe. rad.

I follow your channel regularly and enjoy the Mixer Meltdown series. I love your content. I am a FOH sound engineer at my church in Canada, and they use the same A&H Sq-5 mixer. I am fairly comfortable with it now since I have been regularly mixing for them over 1 year now, but watching this video is helping me learn more ins and outs about the board that I didn't know. Keep it up!

It's kinda funny how the church that jerked you around so much got in contact after your video went online. On one hand you feel for them since they obviously are dealing with some major internal problems. But on the other hand they did waste large chunks of your time.

Chris, do you charge hourly for these jobs or is a flat fee for the day? I have to imagine it'd have to be hourly, since you have no idea what you're walking into.

Is it possible for a FOH person to ever wear hearing protection and still do their job?

That keyboard tone is sublime.

Chris, you've hit some gold with this concept.

this is a great concept

I had that desk and I hated it too many pages and sub pages. I replaced it with a soundcraft si40 what a difference soundcraft boards are easy to use and have so much processing power.

"The Appalachian mountain rnage on top of this tom" 😂😂😂

Great content btw. Loved it man

You're awesome! I have a few questions for you: 1- As an audio tech myself who is trying to get to do the same job you're doing in another state. I have done it for a few churches but can't seem to be able to get the word out enough. what do you do to get your name out there for churches to call you and ask you to fix their mix other than the youtube channel? 2- On the x32 and m32 specifically, but generally on most consoles, I like to have the master fader for LR be at 0 and adjust everything accordingly, why do you have it low? I feel like it doesn't push the consoles enough to get the full push from everything? I may not be able to explain it quiet well, but I hope you're understood what I am trying to ask. Thanks, keep doing what you're doing. You're patient and awesome!

I love how you narrate your videos absolutely hilarious 🤣 and bless you for fixing peoples mixes

This was a tough room. Lots of ringing and sound resonating all over the place.

Why can't you go back to Dingbats? Maybe you can start a sound company and do music shows at your local football stadium for big bands. Glad to see you're in good spirits. I hate getting fired.

4:50 I'm running the latest Wing Compact software (v3.0.5) and I can't for the life of me figure out how to switch all channels to alt at once. What I found was faster though, going into Setup -> Audio, under Input Select there's a Main/Alt switch (that doesn't work) and an input select view. Click the view and drag your finger across the channels you want to switch inputs for. Saves a lot of time when you have a lot of inputs to handle.

The frist and only time I saw Metallica was year ago in 2003 at the metrodome during the summer santium tour the opening acts that Metallica had with them were mudvayne limp bizkit Linkin park and one band that wasn’t even their was the def tones my big bro and I were on the floor in the frist row the show was Sunday July 27 th 2003 we were in seats 1 a and 2 a I couldn’twalk all the way down to the frist row because their were way to many steps so my big bro exchanged the 2 floor seats for 2 seats in the second section but the sound was bad 😊

I absolutely loved the dbz intro. You are so awesome man, I bet we would be very good friends if we've met before :P

Drums is So much bleed in room acoustics

He said, "What the hell..."😂

Wow... did I ever grin when you went to the board audio. They sound great!

I guess I’m curious to learn about how do you record all of this? I really do like your work and after just recently discovering the channel, I felt compelled to get in the section and let you know how much I appreciate you creating this and doing this kind of stuff. Gives me an opportunity to learn a lot more insight

was the mic smash dude the one that wanted to intern with you?

got to love a dadager....

bro, you just made the case for a Mac. Hardstyle.

It’s the endless guitar noodling in the background for me

We need you at my church 😂

This Mixdown Meltdown videos are really good, I do have a question though, did the rest of the churches not use effects (like reverb and delay) in-house and in-stream because they didn't need it, know about it? I mean Transformation Church's sound (EP3) was "record ready", you could release that commercially, while the rest you could hear that "it's a livestream".
