Those of you that follow me on Twitter may have heard that we finally have approval to update our FOH/Monitor system. I’ve been talking about bits and pieces of it over the last few months, so I thought I’d write up the entire plan. If this doesn’t get too long, I’ll get into the why. [...]

Configuring the SD-8 Surface
Today I spent some time adapting my Digico SD-8 show configuration for our SD-8 demo this weekend. When we buy one, we’ll be buying the 37 channel version (made up of three 12-channel fader banks plus a master). For the demo, they could only get me a 25 fader version (missing the left fader bank). [...]
Upcoming Webinar: Mixing
Good news! We’re going to be running our June webinar in June! Dave, Jason and I will be talking this month about Sonic Space, Layers in a Mix, and Creating the Right Blend. This will be a lot of fun for me as I’ll be getting to talk with two guys who really know mixing [...]
Our Newest Addition: Church Tech Weekly
I am really excited to announce the latest addition to the Church Tech Arts empire: A weekly podcast entitled Church Tech Weekly (OK, maybe empire is overstating things a bit, perhaps network is a better descriptor). I’ve been wanting to do this for some time, but hadn’t hit on the right format to make it both [...]
Love Languages for Techies
This post was originally published last week over at the Church Production Magazine blog. After some traffic analysis, I decided to post it here as well in case you missed it. If you’ve been around the church for any length of time, you have no doubt heard about Love Languages. Dr. Gary Chapman wrote a [...]
The Coolest Thing I Saw at InfoComm
If my blog layout had subtitles, it would be, “And why Aviom A-16II is now irrelevant.” Longtime readers of this blog will know that I’ve been a fan of the RSS M-48 personal mixing system since it was announced over a year ago. It sounds fantastic, has a ton of flexibility in signal routing, includes [...]
700 MHz: The End is Here
In case you’ve spent the last few years hiding in a faraday cage, you are probably aware that the FCC has sold off the 700 MHz spectrum (from 698 MHz-806MHz), analog TV has come to an end and wireless mics are no longer allowed in the 700 MHz band as of June 12. As in [...]
Love Languages for Techies
The other day I wrote a post over at Church Production Magazine about the Five Love Languages for Techies. You may have heard about the regular Five Love Languages, but we techies are wired a bit different, and thus have our own. You may be surprised when you learn your love language. Chances are, it [...]
SoCal Area CTDRT Meet Up June 28
Back in March, nearly 20 TDs from all over SoCal gathered at Coast Hills to meet, laugh and hang out. We had a great time. In fact, it was such a good time that we’ve decided to do it again. On June 28, we will once again come together, this time at Rancho Community Church [...]
DPA 4099G Guitar Mic
And we’re back at it with some more DPA mics; this time the 4099G guitar mic. The 4099 is based on the same basic capsule as the 4098H choir mics and the SMK4081. The 4099, however, comes in a shock mounted, flexible boom that attaches to a very clever guitar body mount. One end of [...]
