Almost six months ago we made the switch to rechargeable batteries. Next month, I’ll be doing some follow up tests to see how well the battery capacity is holding up, but for this post, I thought I’d share some thoughts on how our process has been working out. To recap, we have stopped using alkaline [...]

Real World Snapshots
Continuing the previous post on snapshots, today I’ll discuss some things that I’m doing with them every week. Real World Examples Here is my snapshot list for this past weekend. As you can see, there is a snapshot for every major event of the service. I’ll walk you through the snapshots for an example of [...]
Using The Trim Control
A few years ago I was logging a lot of hours in flight simulators. I had the idea that I would one day get my pilots license. That has been on hold for a while, but I learned one lesson that is useful in audio. Small aircraft (an likely large ones, too) have a trim [...]
Optimizing Monitors
A few weeks ago I was having a discussion about the sound quality of our monitors with our sax player. He’s a very discriminating guy who really knows sound. If he says he needs 185 cut 3 dB, he needs 185 cut at 3 dB. As we listened to his wedge, it was clear that [...]
Da-Cappo DA-12 Earset Mic
Recently we had the opportunity to test a few mics from Da-Cappo. I’ve been hearing more and more about them of late and was immediately interested in trying one out when my rep offered. We had two different models, the standard DA-12 and a shorter-boomed child’s version. Normally we use the Countryman e6 for earset [...]

Heil Drum Mic Kit Pt. 1
Two weekends ago, I picked up some new mics for our drum kit. We had been experimenting with some demos over the last few months, and I was convinced enough to place an order with my dealer. When I went to pick them up, he gave me the HDK-8 which I initially thought to be [...]
Rechargeable Battery Update
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about rechargeable batteries. Mainly because there was no new news with the Ansmann brand we had been using, and I wanted to try out the new ones for a while before giving an update. Thankfully, the wait was worth it, and this is good news. When Upper Room [...]
A Couple Useful Links & A Personal Update
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 [...]
It’s the Final Countdown
Cue up fire from my hands as I thrust them dramatically to the sky! (This is the first of a series of Arrested Development references this week–get used to it) While I couldn’t get Gob to join us today, I thought I would remind you, in case you’ve been locked in a tech booth somewhere [...]
