In Episode 99, James and Gary take a step back and discuss how to find and implement an overall vision for a mix. Vision isn’t always about loudness, it’s more about feel: how do we want people to receive the message and how do we match the overall tone of the service? It can vary depending on the day so it’s important before touching faders to think about the type of service, song selections, worship leaders insight, and the overall environment and message being shared.

In Episode 98, James and Gary discuss gates and triggers — what they are and how to use them. They come in handy as tools that help not only control how much sound is being let in, but when. For example, if we’re using multiple microphones, we don’t always want every sound being picked up — enter gates and triggers that let us set parameters so the system knows when we don’t want sound, when we do, and how much.

In Episode 96, James and Gary discuss effects, often termed “FX” for short. It’s important to remember that with great power comes great responsibility — particularly when it comes to the application of effects in the mix. The hosts share their observation that the two effects the majority of mix engineers deploy most frequently are reverb and delay, and why that’s the case.

It all starts with building positive communication and thinking about not only what is said, but how it’s said.

In Episode 93, James and Gary discuss four pillars of a great mix: a great sounding source, capturing the source the right way, level balance and gain structure, and using high and low-pass filtering. Essentially if you start with clean sound, capture it the right way, balance the levels and then make small cuts to fit it all together, a quality result will follow. The co-hosts focus on how to do just that. The Church Sound Podcast is sponsored by DiGiCo and Electro-Voice.

In Episode 92, co-hosts James and Gary discuss the foundation of great audio. A solid base starts with the setup. System design, where the loudspeakers are located and where they’re pointed. System tuning, taking those loudspeakers and applying EQ and delay so they all work together. Finally the console setup, having a clear detailed map so you increase efficiency and make it easy for others to step up and run the show if you’re not there.

In Episode 90, the hosts focus on a critical pillar of audio: gain structure and balancing. They discuss how to prepare for a service so you don’t have to make gain adjustments during the worship service — it can throw off everything. They also share strategies and preferences when diving into a mix, including where they like to start. And don’t suffer from “console fog” — it’s important to get out from behind the desk to get a new perspective on the mix. The Church Sound Podcast is sponsored by DiGiCo and Electro-Voice.

They talk about ways to set up before an event and tips to make sure we don’t miss a beat during a live performance, and they also discuss reference tracks, how to know what to reference, how to use them to save time or prepare for any given service, and they wrap up the conversation with a daunting question: Where is worship music heading?
