This is a wonderful explanation of the process! Everyone sounds great. A few things to note: 1. Love the multi-coloured foam wind screens on the mics so you know who has what mic channel. Secondly, the wind screens are terrific at controlling plosive sounds (particularly "p" and "b"). 2. I realize most people like, or are trained, to sing directly into the main axis of the mic; however.... there is the very real issue of a person's face being covered and much of it not seen by congregants and cameras. Thoughts on that? 3. Last and most important: most sound techs I've heard have no musical inclination at all. Time and time again, they either don't listen to music at all in their spare time (particularly on the church's sound system), nor do they have any idea how their "instrument" works. They know how to press buttons and navigate layers of a digital console, but don't understand or practice what you are explaining about EQ, compression, gating, etc., and it's impact on the sound--particularly in reverberant rooms. Have you trained others on " mixing musicality"? Keep this kind of thing coming, especially additional instruments in the mix! Thank you!

Hey Henry-thanks for watching! 1) The multi color screens can be a bit obnoxious, but they are a huge help 80’ away. And they do help control the plosives. 2) Agreed on seeing the singers face. There is a balance for close micing and seeing the mouth of the person talking or singing. That is a area I haven’t started to work on yet. In a big room by its self, it’s not a big deal, but in smaller rooms or on camera, it sure is noticed. 3) We call them fader jockeys. And that is what I did when I was a DJ. In this type of work, the sound people will make or break the performance. I wish I could help more people learn this, but at the same time what you are hearing from me is 24 years of learning. I teach classes and work with sound techs all of the time. What I have learned is if they are a status quo type of person, they will never accelerate in there craft. The next several videos will highlight our choir and orchestra. I’m very excited!!

@@audiobuff I'm excited too! Our church regularly has choir and orchestra now that the COVID-era is essentially done.

@@audiobuff - A. Listen to you using big words…. “Plosives”. Destin would be proud. 2. I watch every service livestream these days and I appreciate some who cover their faces with the mic. D. Sorry I’m so late to respond to your video by way of the customary comment. This reply is my way of becoming a “status quo” closet commenter. Well done as always my fine friend.
