Incredible Church AVL with NO Production Director

[@Revdrum]

You know AV is going to be fire when the production team looks like they work at Sam Ash

[@lancebeiler4670]

that awkward moment when one of the acoustic guitars is more than our yearly gear budget 😳

[@lancebeiler4670]

lol no hate by the way, love this tech tour!!! Thanks for all you guys do 👍

[@mannyfresh1545]

You should do a "best of" or "DIY" storage and organization. Showcase some of the best ideas of stage, back stage and room storage from various churches you've visited. Getting clean organized is the first battle before talking upgrades or improvement and every church can take that task on with the smallest budget.

[@prettysimplemusic]

Great Video Tour! Also, thanks for the shoutout @5:14 ☀💚✅ #PrettySimple IYKYK 😂

[@Bashanganyi]

his eyes lit up when he started talking his guitars 🤣 Everyone has their favourite gear

[@expresateaudiovisual]

AMAZING !

[@emmaerick5444]

I like the advancements in church today, We are learning alot to implement in our churches in Africa here too

[@peterfareri8640]

Why in the world would a church in America spend one cent on gear when there is so much h poverty there. You are a fraud. Shame on you.

[@dpixvid]

Yes or no questions to cam ops! Oh yeah!!! Director/TD oh yeah!

[@sfcnetworkministries]

4:53 / 27:27 time stamp can you tell me where i can purchase this talk back pv5

[@lovefirst6157]

Thanks for these videos

[@zacharymonroe94]

One piece of gear I need to know, where'd did the guy with blue hair get his shirt? I need one.

[@scs216]

There's no Ambient channel on the in-ear mix stations. How can the worship leader "lead" if he can't hear the people he's leading in worship?

[@soundxajay]

❤ cool 😎 setup Jack

[@lmars]

S/O to Armando Fullwood my favorite audio engineer hands down!

[@Dinobottenbley]

I can see how someone with an outside perspective would see this as leadership that wanted to be rockstars and used the church as their medium… Dude did an interview in front of a promo shot of himself…

[@julioybarra6863]

Exactly!!

[@Zact29]

🤣🤣🤌🤌 hermano, haga algo con su vida, y deje de estar opinando sobre los demás, el que no hace, siempre va a criticar al que hace, deje de estar jugando apex y más bien haga algo de propósito en su vida

[@Pastor_RogerSherwood]

@@Zact29jajajaja en otras palabras, no haga lo que acaba de hacer.

[@cantseefuji]

I'd love to know what cameras were used for the worship night recording!

[@denzelandshanelle]

solid presentation

[@epicdude999]

C3500 at Soul Survivor Watford, great mixer! also use ME1 and d&b audio speakers/amps

[@OCDrummer74]

Question… what is specific setup for that worship leader mic to switch to a band talkback mic? I noted the Radial pedal though unsure what model, and how does it get routed to work?

[@nifem]

He has a JR1-M remote switch controlling a Relay Xo. Since they're using wireless mics, a normal talkback switch would be impractical as you would have to route audio from the receiver to the TB switch and back again. Instead, the Relay Xo lives by the stagebox/receiver and is remotely controlled by the JR1-M, just requiring a single XLR cable.

[@OrcasBlade]

What was that thing for the mic? Is it called Optigate? I have a problem with mine catching all the room sound in my in ears.. I promise I am gain staged right lol!

[@RACineFilmagensFotos]

I miss about informations what cameras were used and how many at the recording worship night.

[@Jordan-Munoz]

Hi Brad!! :)

[@wcontr4]

Which Hazer did they use for the "Awake the Should in me" song - great overall effects, and great sound.

[@kalipac773]

Is there a reason we did not talk about the cameras ? I believe you only showed the drum booth camera and the 6ks in the Media Lab, I don’t think I missed it. You jumped straight to JP.

[@iamjord]

how do you send video signal over long distance from pro presenter computer? and not only using HDMI cables

[@djcj95]

Usually SDI, or NDI over your network. NDI can take some config and possibly a dedicated VLAN to work reliably.

[@iamjord]

thanks @@djcj95

[@steve01010]

The blackmagic decklink duo card is popular for getting out of a presentation computer to SDI.

[@svgabe]

You can send SDI over fiber if you need really long distances.

[@CalebOlshefsky]

Hey we basically convert to SDI and then back to HDMI at the projector. Blackmagic has a bunch of relatively affordable converters.

[@joaldesonribeiro]

Which talkback microphone sensor device?

[@tonvinhchua473]

Hello brothers and sisters in the love of Jesus! The church where I just finished building is currently lacking 30,000 USD. Please pray for the pastors and brothers.

[@robin_miller_music]

With such a great set-up overall, why are you guys running a FoH mix to livestream with a few extra channels boosted, and not full mix capability??

[@briansgood2go]

@churchfront I am curious about the Optogate PB-05 that was shown briefly in this video. My church band leader using a mic to talk to the band and singers in-ears but refuses to use a foot switch mute for his mic because of his guitar foot pedals. I think the Optogate would be perfect for him. Which version would you recommend and do you have a link to purchase one. Thanks!

[@isaacsitiakalaabwenje]

Can I be considered to serve With the team for that Job that you've just talked about I can migrate to Churchfront to grow with the church's technical Departiment

[@jeremyontheconsole]

Personally think it would be nice to put the church information in the description. I see a personal IG but not the church. all love

[@spectrefate]

Aww yes. Just like Jesus did it.

[@heyDarren]

Can someone point me to way to create that MD talk back / foot control setup?

[@steve01010]

For his backup MD mic with the foot switch, they're using a Radial JR-1M that is most likely remotely controlling the Radial RelayXO. When you push down the on the JR-1M, the relay XO routes the mic to a different output. It's a cool idea, but if it's the leader mic, it might be a little disorienting for people to see someone speak into the same mic they were using to sing, but not hear what he's saying. Probably great for emergencies, but not for regular use.

[@heyDarren]

that's super helpful@@steve01010, thanks!

[@tobby917]

I’m still trying to wrap my head around why taking the inputs 1 to 1 on broadcast don’t work? They have a gigaace card that’s being sent to the broadcast mixer. So once FOH gain structure is correct broadcast should be smooth sailing. I wouldn’t want a mix from FOH mix and then add everything else. Just seems backward to me. My church does it with Midas consoles. FOH controls gain and its a split from the stage box to go to broadcast where they have digital trim and both mixes are clean.

[@stephenevans2518]

I think the idea is that the broadcast is fed via tie lines straight after the preamps, so if they change which input is used for a specific channel on the FOH mixer then this would not affect the broadcast, whereas by physically patching, you can change the input on stage while the mix rack input remains the same

[@prophetdawitdebebe4408]

Wowwwwwwwwww

[@FernandoFaundez]

My question is how they get money for have those equipment? Is like a project from the city hall? 😮

[@Churchfront]

Haha no it’s donors who give to the church

[@emmaerick5444]

And how do the donors recognize these churches, the other important question would be Do they donate to churches in Africa too, i feel these advancements could reach Eastern Africa

[@Churchfront]

The donors attend theses churches. The big picture is the United States has a monopoly on the money supply and wealth creation. That’s why the church has so much money from donors. Africa needs to adopt a Bitcoin standard and in a few decades you’ll have cool tech like this.

[@ItunuJoe]

Not really tho. African churches have a large number of donors too. The priority on tech and production is only lower than other things.

[@mikeinthetruth]

​​@@ItunuJoe I think it's more of an American thing. The churches in the African countries are not really into all that. Some are but not most. Not that there is anything wrong with it.

[@danielho5635]

It's a great setup. I like how everything is organized. Love: hanging XLR, toolbox, Allen & Heath gear, push-to-talk private channel, separate sound mixing FOH vs broadcast, room acoustic treatment, drum shield Suggestions: 1. DO NOT use a subwoofer unless you put it RIGHT NEXT to the FOH speakers (yes, flying sub) Most people think a subwoofer can be placed "anywhere" in the room. NO! NO! NO! To keep a cohesive sound, the subs must be next to the rest of the FOH speakers. 2. Adam speakers for broadcast mixing. The problem is that ribbon tweeters are very fast and any polypropylene(plastic)/kevlar or non-paper mid-range driver is TOO SLOW. I suggest looking at a JBL reference monitor 3. FOH speakers. I have not heard these speakers (DB Audio?) personally. They may perform perfectly fine. The key is the tweeter dispersion pattern. Are there hot/dead spots in the sanctuary? There probably is if you are using front-fill speakers. And unless time-aligned with a dbx DriveRack, muddies up the FOH sound. I would consider a JBL VRX932LA-1 line array, JBL Cinema speakers, or AE series. EAW also makes great gear and admittedly the best church sound system I have ever heard was an EAW setup. If possible, instead of using a L-R FOH speaker setup, I'd try to use a single "disco ball" setup: since all FOH sound comes from one place, the sound will be incredibly cohesive and time-aligned no matter where you are in the room. Also sound mixing would be easier because the engineer will be more in-line with the speakers. And if done properly, you can eliminate the front fill speakers. 4. FOH Audio Mixing Booth. Is the sound there accurate enough to mix? If I had to guess by the layout in the video the audio is in a little dead zone between the two FOH speakers and you mainly have to mix in the box. 5. Camera Platform. The problem with this setup is that any body movement by the camera operator might cause movement of the tripod and visible shake in the camera. I suggest you mod the platform in this way -- decouple the camera/tripod from the platform. Where the camera tripod would touch the platform, and drill 3 holes about 6 inches in diameter. Build a small platform w/ 2x4 pieces of wood to support JUST the camera tripod and weigh down the legs w/ concrete hollow tile blocks. In this way, the camera operator can move freely w/o moving the camera (accidentally). I built a platform for my church and did this and took it a step further -- the wooden support legs for the camera tripod go from the floor, through the platform, and another 3 feet up to support a table. The table supports the camera tripod (now with retracted legs). 6. McPherson Guitar. IMHO, they make the best acoustic guitars in the world. My favorite combo is a Sitka Spruce or Engelmann Spruce top with Indian Rosewood back and sides. The problem with koa (also known as Hawaiian mahogany) is that the bass isn't as extended and the harmonics tend to be dissonant. Koa looks awesome of course. Good job. Keep on improving.

Tats and blue hair. This dude is a diva, not a worship leader.

[@Jordan-Munoz]

He's actually a great guy with a huge heart and awesome testimony! :)

[@beansinspector8536]

How can you be a Christian judging someone by how they look or dress instead of trying to look at who they are. Take the spec from your own eye before you look into others.

[@m3morgan]

Not a diva at all. A man of God. He and his wife are excellent to serve with. If we were judged by our appearance, I'd be in trouble.
