Well, it’s Miscellaneous Wednesday, so I thought I’d share a few things with you that I’ve found useful. First of all, I saw a Tweet last week from @Macs In Church that was a link to a pretty interesting site if you work with video at all: Zach Poff Software. Zach Poff is a New York [...]

Technological Worship: Style or Substance
OK, I admit it. I crowdsourced this blog topic. The last few months have been really draining, and I’ve been running low on ideas (actually, I have tons of ideas, but they’re all half-baked). So, I turned to the Twitterverse for some suggestions. Today’s topic is courtesy of Mark (@soulfisher), one of our volunteer lighting [...]
Drum Condo Update
Since many people have been asking, I finally did get around to snapping some more pictures, including the inside. I also took some SPL readings to confirm what I suspected. First, hard data. I walked inside the condo and had Joe play at his normal volume. We got readings around 116-118 dB SPL, C-weighted, fast. [...]
The Drum Condo–Does it Work?
Well, now that the site is back up and moving at something close to normal speed, we’ll get back to the drum condo series. First, in answer to the above question, the short answer is yes! To some extent, that’s the best I’ve got, as I’ve not yet had time to get any actual readings [...]
The Drum Condo in Pictures

Project Design Goals
Attenuate drum volume significantly (meaning >20 dB SPL; >30 would be even better).
Modular construction so it could be taken apart easily and moved [...]
The Drum Condo
Fresh on the heels of our drum mic’ing webinar, I thought I would post some details of our now famous “Drum Condo.” Perhaps ‘now famous’ is a slight overstatement; still, I’ve talked enough about it that I thought it merited a post. If you’ve read this blog for more than a month, you know that [...]
First Service In The New Space
Well, we made it. After a long few weeks, March 15 came upon us and we found ourselves having our first service in the new worship space. Aside from a few technical glitches (including our Aviom patching randomizing during soundcheck–more on that later…), the gatherings came together really, really well. Feedback from the community has [...]
Line Checkin’
The line check. It’s one of those things that most sound guys know they should do, or at least would like to have time to do, but often fail to get around to actually doing. Getting a line check done before the band arrives has saved me on several occasions. Not getting it done has [...]
