Great video! But just to clerarify. For the audio output..it`s either a direct box or a interface?

[@GromloSlomlo]

Great video

[@fromstudiotostage]

Thank you!

[@emanuelrodriguez4369]

How are you able to plug the midi pad and the midi interface? I have only 2 USB C ports on the MacBook pro

[@babyloniastudio5352]

You have enough ports then - use one port for the midi pad, one for the interface. But I would recommend getting a hub for more port inputs

[@tanaman7111]

Okay so I'm running backing tracks through interface (Scarlett Focusrite 2i2) and have one output with click + reference/cues for drummer, and then one output with backtracks for FOH. For some reason I am getting bleed of the click in output with backtracks for FOH, which should not be getting anything. Any work around for this?

[@EricLThomp75]

Did you figure it out?

[@renodigitalservice]

I never could related with his tutorials! Not for me

[@fromstudiotostage]

yeah he sucks

[@joyfultrails]

How about just relying on the unique gifting and creativity God has given each of us… And follow the leading of the Holy Spirit instead of being worship karaoke. I honestly believe that millennials ruined church for so many people because they turned it into a production, a stage show.
