While following my normal lunchtime ritual (reading trade magazines while eating my sandwich), something occurred to me. I was reading an article about the new EAW KF740. As I read it, I started thinking about our current PA, made up of KF 750s and 755s. It’s a system that I’ve been advocating changing since I [...]

Presenting Upgrade Projects
I had lunch with my boss (Pastor of Weekends) and Sr. Pastor this week. The purpose of the lunch was two-fold. First, I wanted to inform him of my findings as I’ve spent the last few months looking over our systems. Second, I wanted to get his feedback on which updates need to take priority [...]
Creating the Big Picture
Long-time readers of this blog know that I’m all about developing a well thought out game plan before starting any system upgrade. Perhaps it comes from my background in carpentry and construction–one would never (OK, at least one should never) undertake a new building or renovation project on without a well-developed plan. When trying to [...]
The Good Enough Principle Pt. 2
Monday, I talked about the trend toward things being “Good Enough.” It’s happening in electronics, music, TV and many other disciplines. The question before us then is this; how does this impact my work as a church TD? Now, I tend to be a bottom-line kind of guy. So for starters, I’m re-evaluating how I [...]
Setting Priorities Pt. 2

Today, we’ll pretend I’ve been here a while and talk about how I’m going to prioritize systems upgrades in a building in which every system needs to be upgraded. As I alluded to yesterday, a big part will be meeting with [...]

When a student tried to excuse his unfinished assignment by claiming there were so many other things he was trying to work on, the professor simply waved his hand and said, “Priorities, son. Priorities.” That phrase has been rattling around [...]
Thinking Ahead
I was reading Tony Morgan’s blog the other day as he was reviewing Andy Stanley’s new book, The Principle of the Path. One phrase in particular caught my mind, and it’s stuck with me ever since. It’s good advice for life to be sure; and it has particular importance for those of us charged with [...]
Quicker h.264 Rendering
I’ve said it before; when it comes to rendering, there’s no substitute for horsepower. Typically that means upgrading to a bigger computer with more processor cores running at a higher speed (and more RAM–you can never have too much RAM). The downside of that approach is that it gets expensive really fast. For example, the [...]
Buying a New Mixer Pt. 2
Picking up from where we left off yesterday in our discussion of deciding on the best mixer… Feature Set What types of new features are you looking for? More groups, VCAs, a bigger Matrix, better EQ, better metering, direct outputs, mute groups, and/or automation are all found on boards at various price points. These are [...]
