Why Your Church Livestream Sounds Awful

[@loanan-m1w]

Hey! I am an audio engineer who specializes in church audio, and I get contracted out to not only install new equipment, but also to fix mixes, train volunteers, etc. Good tips! Something to note: please be careful with EQ, compressors, noise gates. They can be helpful, but they can quickly become part of the problem. WIth EQ, please only subtract in a live setting. Also with Compression, it can really tighten up and make your mix blend, but it can also flatten everything out or even distort. Also, the separate mix is a good shout! However, most modern digital soundboards are able to do this entirely onboard, without the need for a second physical board. It's more work for the sound engineer, but it's absolutely doable!

This is a very helpful comment! I can confirm, we've had people in my church look at our setup and our board that are much more knowledgeable than me and their fixes were right on par with this comment. EQ's more so "taking out bad frequencies" rather than trying manipulate the signal entirely, and we have a Behringer wing x32 for a board which can do the separate mix for the livestream entirely on the same board that runs audio for everything. Very good advice and thank you for the comment. -David

This helps though we are barely starting to livestream but maybe if yall could make a video about a deceng setup maybe we could try to do and change stuff so it can sound better thanks
