Awesome video, I will defiantly be looking to introduce something similar into my church, especially since the mac mini is such a steal!

[@john-marcedwards9221]

love it!

[@joelwolski]

I need more thumbs! This is great. I must not have been paying attention for the last decade (couple decades?), but this is new to me and I think it's awesome. I would love to be able to do this at my church, but they are very averse to change. Swapping out the 40 year old mic cables was a challenge. So glad I found your channel.

[@RylandRussell]

Awe thanks Joel! Change is hard, hope my channel encourages you. 👍🏻

[@philcoffman197]

Ryland, this is an awesome build. Solid work.

[@RylandRussell]

Thanks Phil! Really appreciate the comment.

[@user-ze5hq8pg8n]

Wow you explain very good, good work an thanks for the tips... I see you from Mexico City

[@prettysimplemusic]

Wait… how am I just seeing this!!! 👀👀👀🤯🤯🤯 You briefly mentioned her setup in another video but broooo!!!!

[@RylandRussell]

The algorithm finally brought you the goods 😀 Ravenscroft hasn’t been working well for me though. Odd polyphony issues. I’ll have to pick your brain.

[@CBSalem]

Ryland, I am assuming the monitor is a "touch" monitor?

[@RylandRussell]

Nope, just a normal monitor. Mac minis don't play well with touch screens. So we have a mouse and keyboard as well.

[@claytonchisum6237]

WAIT!! What? We don't have a piano on stage? I can't even...

[@robsharp2941]

What sizes are the monitors? Are running all of that on the same Mac Mini?

[@RylandRussell]

Pretty sure they are 17”

[@RylandRussell]

And yes off the one Mac mini.

[@robsharp2941]

@@RylandRussell I love the fact that it’s all concealed. Never seen anyone be able to pull that off. Are the monitors actually set down below a little? It’s a little tough to tell in the video, but feels like the player has to sit higher in order to view the screens. Easy adjustment for most keys players, but I could see some pianists having a challenge getting adjusted.
