Best thing about this setup? Cup holders on the tech desk!

[@churchaudiolife]

I will actually probably implement this at my church. Brilliant.

[@ncollins5900]

Dont do what I did initially. Bought 2 and they didnt fit out desk :( so look at those measurements before clicking buy now :)

Thanks to all who are contributing to this Churchfront channel. I applaud your passion & excellence. Glad to be part of this church tech community. Blessings to all.

[@randomschittz9461]

You can tell they had the entire congregation help make the sound dampening panels. I love it!🤙🏼

[@BradK02]

I love this series concept. Lots of great ideas.

[@davezorn]

Love the concept of the series - main thing I didn’t like about the sound was using studio monitors (and a sub) at the desk to reference the front of house........

[@andrewlepard1217]

In general, you are absolutely correct, you always want to mix to the sound of the room. The only reason why this setup works for us is that both the monitors and sub are at a very low level. They are only there to give the extra clarity you get towards the front of the room, not really for any extra volume.

[@HairyScaryMark]

@@andrewlepard1217 I don't believe I've seen anyone use this configuration before. Is there a reason you chose not to use the same model of speaker as being used out front?

[@andrewlepard1217]

@@HairyScaryMark If we were to have the booth in a location that required significant volume from the speakers we would definitely want to match them, however since they are at such a low volume and only really there for extra detail we chose the lower cost and size over a perfect match.

[@tyloxey]

It's actually a pretty good design in a situation like theirs. If you use an SPL meter to match PA Volume and Monitor Volume at Unity you can probably get really close to an accurate picture. Even closer if you (which I'm sure they did) EQ them to get similar response.

[@legooos]

3:59 Keeping mikes and small stuff in pocket shoe organizer is a genius idea, i am stealing it.

[@marlonwalton8955]

Thanks for making this video! It’s so cool to see how this old church was transformed! I wish our church was like this

[@TroyNahrwold]

Absolutely love it Jake! Great idea featuring different churches and their setups. I can't wait to see more of them. And you know I'm on the waiting list for the course. If I wasn't first I your list, it's just because I was a little late seeing the video.

[@taylorgillespie8960]

It wasn't mentioned but I wanted to mention it/ask. The FOH monitor speakers you had setup would need to be time delayed to your PA. I assume when the integrator that set them up did that, but I just wanted to point out to anybody who was going to try that for themselves, you need to time delay your monitor speakers. The distance from the speakers to FOH is your distance and the formula is distance divided by the speed of sound (343m/s) for the delay time.

[@worshipgalstocks7517]

I really like the cup holders on the side of table! Great idea!!! lol

[@romualdkinimo1004]

great content, plenty of ideas for our church and crisp video quality. Be Blessed

[@churchaudiolife]

If you are ever in Winnipeg, MB, Canada. Come on over to Church of the Rock. We do a TV broadcast across Canada. We're in an old wire factory, have fairly good tech. But we often stretch it out to make it last as long as possible. Still rocking an M7CL at FOH.

I really enjoy this format! Make more of that. It helps a lot :D

[@chadjensen2153]

I love the idea of this new series! Keep 'em coming :)

[@jonathankim7641]

Would love to have a walk-through on how a church that has to set-up and tear-down every week can do so efficiently. What kind of gear is best suited for that kind of environment, not just instruments but storage/rollers/anything & everything that allows for high quality but ease of setup. Thanks!

[@wessills6963]

As would I. We are a small mobile church, and have streamed line a lot of things. I would like to see how others do it for new ideas.

[@AmericanEpitaph]

That would be amazing! My church meets on a college campus so it's a process every week! We have a good system, but it's basically a bunch of stuff that's been slapped together and streamlined as much as possible. Always room for improvement

[@AaliyahJay]

As a musician and music technology graduate I can only dream about having similar setups in my church. Most churches in the 🇬🇧 have barely any funds for praise and worship I long for the day I don’t have to bring my own equipment (personal mixers etc) every Sunday.

[@airsoftsniperandnerf]

If your ever in CA come out to life community Church in Roseville. You won't be disappointed with our setup.

[@djspecialpaul]

A nice neat church - like this :)

The projector is an Epson Pro L1750 with an ultra-short throw gooseneck lens

Wow, thank you SO MUCH for uploading a video like this. It is extremely helpful and inspiring. Please continue to post more.

[@joshkaspian]

May you please do a tour of their new campus

[@tincusilviugabriel4925]

Great stuff. One thing i want to say, i noticed that the speakers are not at the same level as the other equipments, and thats a thing that i noticed in many churches.... seems that there is not much interest in finding the right speakers for your room specifications... and that's a pitty, because the speakers are, in my opinion, very very important. Of course, in the moment you start to search for professional and dedicated solution, you need to have the top dollar.

[@Robert_cooks]

Hey Jake, Could you come visit Plum Creek Church down in Castle Rock. There is an amazing tech program there. There's even an RGBW wall!

[@WestValleyChurch]

so, we are trying to put together a similar look for our stage.(except smaller a 9ft by 16ft screen) our plan is to use it as a remote service location and then use it for a second campus set up. however, our projector budget is $3500 to $4000. The Epson projector mentioned here is $33K. We were looking at the one you mentioned in an earlier video, but everyone tells us we won't get a good picture. We've got about 5ft or 8ft of room behind the screen. Any ideas?

[@victorpark2656]

hi can ask some questions? how can you project from behind the screen? is there any options to change in projector? and Is it one set of project? It seems like attached some gear for mirroring. I would like to find project but I can not find on the list? can you explain about it? thanks!

[@JohnnyS.]

Man my church needs a projector upgrade and new speakers. I volunteer for the audio but after getting new 4k TV mounted on the walls pointing to the audience makes the main projector look bad but the church barely gives us budget for things

[@PaDamTuts]

@@lovejoymonton369 They don't need two separate X32 racks for what they are doing. They have subs in front of their stage. Behringer mixer gear is not the greatest, but they had to use that because of two X32 racks in the front.

[@kevinmcd112]

12:05 You can get your band to sit in the green room? Do you pay them with food or something ... or is that where you have the coffee?

[@andyxprophet]

Make it comfortable. Our green room has the best couches in the whole building.

[@kevinmcd112]

Dude, we have a leather couch, a couple of chairs, two mini-fridges, granola bars, a single-serve coffee maker, a restroom, a recording studio, the best mints in North America AND the service piped into the room and it still takes an act of Congress to get the band in there. Instead, they all sit in the entry where the cafe is and they're so loud, they can be heard in the service. I'm sure I shush them at least 5 or 7 times a month. (We have two services each Sunday.) I blame the twins. I think I'll start reminding them there's a recording studio back there!

@@wessills6963 try doing some research before throwing random numbers out there for what things cost. Most of that equipment was very budget friendly. I guarantee the projector is not $20,000.

[@fccymm]

Most interested in an explanation of the drum setup. I see Addictive Drums is running on a MacBook in the booth. Are you running Pearl E-Pro Live drums, then midi back the computer? If so, how are you getting the midi back there? Tried doing that here over cat5.

[@LighthouseChurch5280]

Family Christian Centre we run addictive drums on a Mac near the drums. Then near the x32 we have another Mac. They are both connected to a hidden WiFi and the x32 Mac screenshares with the drum Mac which give our sound tech full control of the addictive drums Mac.

[@fccymm]

@@LighthouseChurch5280 Thanks for the quick reply. That's a pretty slick setup. I've been planning a similar setup, but with ATV aDrums running alongside StevenSlate5. The Pearl E-Pro would save a lot of money, but I'm not sure I'd be able to convince my drummers on the feel (especially the cymbals).

[@LighthouseChurch5280]

Family Christian Centre yeah, we basically just told our drummers “the cymbals won’t be 100% natural, but we’ll never tell you to play softer.” Sometimes it’s a give and take. In our new building we are building a drum cage with live cymbals, but silent drum heads for Addictive drums. So that we get the best of both worlds.

[@JoshSamaroo]

Hey man, so my church is now going into a projector and screen and our budget is below $2000US, I was wondering if a 10.5ftX18ft screen from carl's place teamed with the Viewsonic PG800HD Projector (5000 Lumens) would be good, REALLY hope you reply - From Trinidad 🇹🇹

Going to church nowadays looks like your going to a rock concert. Do churches really need to go to this extreme?

[@AmericanEpitaph]

"how cool would it be to have lights on our worship team?" "Nah, that's not in the bible and God would be mad". Churches have changed because the generations have changed, not because we've sold out. Good luck getting a gaggle of millennials to enjoy standing in a pew with the old red hymnal, singing along to an organ. Different isn't a synonym for bad, I wish more people could understand that.

[@baaelectronics]

Being an LD for my church, I have learned that church lighting is always about the spirit of worship, setting the mood and atmosphere to whatever the song is. LDs who make a traditions service look like a heavy rock concert probably need to rethink their choices. Yeah, it’s still a way to appeal to the millennials and I sometimes use the “rock concert” vibe for our children’s ministry because it’s fun but in every circumstance, lighting always compliments the worship by setting the mood and looking cool at the same time. It’s still serving God with your own talents and think about this: would you be more “in the zone” worshipping in a room with indigo accents and slowly rotating gobos or a room lit by daylight fluorescent tubes? Also, *you’re

[@patrickchapman2563]

We, as the Church, need to do anything short of sin to win people to Christ. If that means attracting the young generation with lights, screens, modern worship music, social media.. we need to be doing that. Paul said it best in 1 Corinthians 9 when he talked about different ways he used to win people. We should be doing that. "Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings."
