To everyone asking what headphones I use: I use the Direct Sound EX29.

[@jeffreycapiendo7007]

This one I just wanted to ask after I watched for almost 27mins I went to the comment section

[@shaniel045]

My left ear 👼🤗🎵😇 My right ear 💀

[@chrishammillaudio]

All the more reason I needed to fix it!

[@martinvannostrand8488]

“This delay is so long, it took Jesus less time to rise from the dead” lol I knew your channel would be right up my alley

[@thatguitarguy97]

The lead singer is amazing and your mix just brings out her voice amazing episode. I love how this series episodes are never the same. It’s showing so many different issues and ways to fix them.

[@chrishammillaudio]

Sabrina’s voice was incredible to mix. That woman knows how to use her gift. Thanks! These are the most challenging things I’ve ever done in audio. I go into these places blind. Different musicians at different skill levels with different instruments and different rooms to mix in. Glad you like the series.

[@frooxe]

Love all the Mixdown Meltdown episodes! So fun and well executed.

[@jakebdrums]

Man, you’re a valuable asset to the kingdom. Thank you for being a vessel. Praying for you and this channel

[@chrishammillaudio]

So far so good. Love making these videos.

[@Yaksonator]

Reverb on bass? Been playing for 22 years and that’s a new one to me.

[@chrishammillaudio]

Yeah. Shut that down quick lol.

[@memphiskash]

church musicians love reverb. speaking from experience

[@d2ccio]

It would be so hard for me to not clown that guy LOL

[@itsmesandman]

unless you are doing some solo shit on bass

[@grzesiekkkkkeu]

I love how you switch to direct audio when you put the headphones on, makes you really immersed in the experience

[@ulizesrivera3874]

How do u switch audio in house and stream audio?

[@AudioSen]

@@ulizesrivera3874 He plugged his external hard drive into the mixer and recorded the sound check. And later, when he was editing his video, he used the recorded audio track when he put on his headphones

[@shaniel045]

Those subs were rocking that place

[@pukashells6215]

Sadly Qsc stopped making that series 🥲 I have one and boy are they loud

[@DrummerJohn]

Wow, after you dialed in the mix and the worship team warmed up, I had an out of body experience! The drum mix with the Zildjian A’s, kick and snare was perfect. The musicianship was heavenly. Trying not to curse is a real struggle and I bet everyone in that church has a that issue. That’s why we need Jesus lol! Love you work sir.

[@chrishammillaudio]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, this band kicked ass.

[@Pianomiano]

Huge fan of this series! The before/after shown at 43:55 is absolutely night and day.

[@SlipknotSam33]

The musicians were really great, they deserve their good mix! Thanks, and I can't wait for the next episode!

[@roelbakker8923]

Workflow seemed so nice on this one. Makes a huge difference to have musicians on the podium who know their stuff and are cooperative

[@chrishammillaudio]

A band that knows their gear and how to play it properly always makes easier mixes.

[@danieldavila8841]

Seeing you help churches with their sound is awesome. Love the videos.

[@mauriziowill6531]

Only thing i hate about these videos is how long i have to wait to watch them...im not even a sound engineer and absolutely love watching and learning these...awesome!

[@Syonico]

as a digital music producer, i have so much respect for live audio engineers, your work never goes unnoticed to the trained eye! o7

[@chrishammillaudio]

🫡

[@mikeyar11]

This lady lead singer can sing!!!! You bought out the vocals and they sound amazing!

[@sternreport]

I'm not religious and also not really into audio engineering but I love these videos!

[@chrishammillaudio]

Glad you love them!

[@brunohermes1]

dude watching these videos make me want to try to learn proper sound egninnering, messing with sound is interesting and also fun. keep it up man!

[@chrishammillaudio]

It’s a lot of fun. Different rooms present different challenges.

[@brunohermes1]

ye, watching the past two episodes gives a sort of good idea of how different places might have wildly different audio problems wich i find really interesting beacause theres alot of things that can be causing the problem or that can cause it-

[@titusrhodes]

I'm not a sound guy, but I come for the commentary

[@surreal9558]

2:05 that keyboard tone right off the bat is beautiful. Wish I could recreate those chords in my DAW, goodness

[@ryanl.4296]

I am so happy I have found these videos, they have encouraged me as the guitarist in my churches praise band to help try and improve our sound balance and live stream. We are a small church with a small older congregation made up of mostly people in their mid to late 70's. We operate solely with volunteer help, so the simpler the better. Our current sound-tech is dedicated, but wears hearing aids and struggles to hear feedback. We only have an old analog mixer (definitely not a nice X32), a 10 year old PC, but a really good camera(lol xD), but we make it work and get by. Still with this setup I know we have not maxed out our potential. I love all the little tips and how you explain why you are making the changes in the mix you are, I use these videos as reference before practice. I may not be able to be to fix it as well as you and it may never get truly fixed, but I am definitely going to try my hardest! Thank you, this mix sounds fantastic!

[@chrishammillaudio]

Keep at it!

[@S14M07]

on easter is wild, i love this guy

[@chrishammillaudio]

🤘

[@riverrevivalchristiancenter]

This proves that church budgets should include the fulltime employment of a proffessional Sound Engineer beside spending tons on equipment.... Job welldone

[@brandonmrgichmusic6236]

I'm an aspiring audio engineer and musician. Found your channel today. There something super satisfying about the before and after of the mixes I've seen from you. Subscribed!

[@chrishammillaudio]

Welcome!

[@realifejon]

This is the best series on youtube!!! The channel is skyrocketing!!

[@BillyW012]

Been to this church and know Pastor Hector and some of the worship team members! They are awesome people and have such a huge heart for the Lord! Well done!

[@chrishammillaudio]

These guys were amazing musicians and even more amazing people.

[@nathanksimpson]

Praying God will bless you for your heart to help his churches. ⛪ 🙏

[@chrishammillaudio]

I’ve been fortunate to have published 3 episodes with 3 more on the way.

[@JoshSingsBW]

Does this even qualify as a Mixdown Meltdown?😭🔥 It sounds too good for it to be a meltdown 😭😭

[@chrishammillaudio]

The before definitely was qualified as a meltdown. Didn’t need to do much to make it pop!

[@JoshSingsBW]

@@chrishammillaudio nonetheless you did a great job on it

[@wendaled]

absolutely absolutely absolutely going to be delving into the nuances of mixdowns because of this series, absolutely sick man

[@chrishammillaudio]

Glad I started a rabbit hole for you.

[@wendaled]

also love the audio switch when u put the headphones on pls keep doin it

[@gideonmwita9859]

Wow! DAY AND NIGHT difference. Absolutely great work and this series definitely is fantastic to watch

[@chrishammillaudio]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@gamerm4tthew]

I love this series

[@hullian1113]

It sounds like they’re playing shoegaze with the piano from ‘Halcyon and On and On’. Frankly, I’d go to this church.

[@jeffreyjazz6459]

clicked immediately lol happy easter, audio and Jesus has risen!

[@creativeroom365]

Beautiful church

[@jeffreycapiendo7007]

what a sound! it helps a lot with the drum shield and all of them are on their IEMs, it sounds like they are inside the studio also, instead of having loud backlines for the guitar, bass, and keys

[@chrishammillaudio]

Every instrument essentially being direct sans drums has its benefits.

[@antwicurtis789]

Loving this series. Thank you Chris for sharing.

[@ckjjclan]

Good stuff… enjoying this series.

[@luigra123]

Wow man…! Amazing! Great job! God bless you

[@JuniorOliveira-lp4fo]

Absolutely love these videos! Keep'em coming! So much to learn from these!

[@detttrestinger8214]

Great work! Just thought I could mention this since not many people seem to notice this. You can press the CH 1-8 and CH 9-16 to get all 16 channels across the 16 faders at the same time. Works with all the Green fader layer buttons.

[@chrishammillaudio]

I didn’t know that

[@JacksonVne]

This is really helpful and entertaining. Thanks!

[@MARYODEEJAY]

Wow. That band sounds absolutely amazing 👏

[@NorthLaker]

[@memphiskash]

this series has been great and everyone across the board has been extremely talented, but holy fuck this band is so good. they sound amazing

[@chrishammillaudio]

My job is so much easier with a band that knows what they’re doing. This band was a genuine pleasure.

[@BobJones-bh9qz]

Wow the band sounds great! They aren’t lying when they say it all starts with good sources

[@djkevinbanger]

Sounds very good

[@farmingwithjustdoit]

[@dillonr7372]

Ngl the instruments sounded so clean at the end when the entire band was playing. Those guitars sounded ✨dreamy✨ and and that snare on the drum😍🔥

[@reesgonzales]

love the series!!

[@firstname_lastname3507]

these are so sick, even not knowing much about live audio i find these very interning as a musician

[@matthewguzman7107]

This series is amazing! Keep it up

[@patrickqueres]

Greetings from Brazil! You're doing a great job helping with these mixes and I'm glad to see it! I've helped many cases like this here, especially with this increase in the transmission of cults post C19.

[@faafetainunu2579]

Excellent job Chris

[@TheNewt]

Awesome video, keep it up!

[@zulazuam3310]

I came from Malaysia. I really like watching your videos. Many of my friends in Malaysia like your video

[@Zildjian242]

I can’t express how much I like these videos. Not a sound guy but just a normal drummer. I’ve always respected sound guys but watching it in this POV makes me appreciate it more, it’s also an art and underappreciated to the audience and even the bands at times. This group is incredibly talented as well

[@BAdams138]

Chris, thanks again for another wonderful teaching video, for us viewers. PP7 is a beast, but it tends to crash. Another great job!

[@ifeanyinelson6043]

I love your levels. Very clean

[@JordyBaines]

Really enjoying this series Chris!

[@kylemyers8415]

Really loving this series! Its so great to hear you help these churches sound their absolute best as a team :) You have a great ear for a mix and an excellent understanding of how to make these individual churches' sounds come out through their worship teams.

[@chrishammillaudio]

Appreciate it 🤘

[@manuellacruz1439]

I love this kind of vids. Thanks for taking the time to record audio n video! Manuel from Peru 🇵🇪!

[@Newberntrains]
