Here is the audio from last week’s mixing webinar with Dave, Jason & myself. This was a particularly fun webinar with lots of great information. We talk about getting the low end right, stereo and imaging and even aux-feeding your hi-hat. Yup, you’ll have to listen to make sense of that one! As always, you [...]

Night of Worship
This week we held a Night of Worship at Coast Hills. To say it was a big event would be an understatement. One could argue (and someone did point out) that we probably made it more of a production than it needed to be, but hey, that’s part of the fun. We had a big [...]
Help Us Help You
This is a follow-up to my previous post, Surviving VBS. It’s an open letter to Children’s Ministries, Student Ministries and any other ministry that needs to interact with their technical and production departments. I’m a big movie fan, and I really liked the film, Jerry Maguire. The language was rather coarse, but the story line [...]
Surviving VBS
Last week was VBS for us (though we call is SVBS). As it was my first SVBS since coming to Coast Hills, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect (aside from a ton of really amped up kids screaming their cheers). I had some initial meetings with the kid’s ministries staff to talk about the [...]
Mixing Webinar Part 2, Take 2
After last night’s technical difficulties, we’re going to give this another shot. We keep trying to find ways to improve the experience, and make it less time consuming to produce; sometimes it doesn’t work. Last night we were met with blocks in the firewall (I tried it from the office as our upload speed is [...]

Three Tips for Improving Your Mix This Week
I’m the Technical Director of a good-sized church. As such, I oversee all technical aspects of the weekend services; sound, lighting, video, presentation and even some stage design and set up. In my current role, my time is split between all those disciplines. But at the end of the day, my passion is sound. So [...]
Wireless IEM Shootout Pt. 3
UPDATE 7/10/2010: It was pointed out on Twitter that there were some channel polarity issues with the audio samples. Though I’m still trying to figure out exactly what happened (and I will test and figure it out on Monday), it does in fact seem that the polarity of the original audio samples posted here were [...]
What’s With the Tip Jar
This post has been about 4 months in waiting. Not because I’ve struggled with writing it, but because I’ve been trying to convince myself I should. Today I was once again listening to my podcast mentor, Leo Laporte, who talked about his tip jar. I realized that while I am someone who just loves to [...]
