Jon Wolske replied to John Hawkins's discussion 'zero db?...' in the group PA (Engineer's Corner)"Not in the case where you will encounter people who are new to something. It is best to be as complete and include the 'Why' with the 'What', that way you leave no misconceptions or assumptions.

Cory Zipperle replied to John Hawkins's discussion 'zero db?...' in the group PA (Engineer's Corner)"Oops, I forgot the part about "once you have your mix set, use only the faders and auxes to tweak".
Oh well. Your method is sound, but assumes that the user knows how to use PFL and that their board even has PFL and meters that work.…"
Jon Wolske replied to John Hawkins's discussion 'zero db?...' in the group PA (Engineer's Corner)"Funny, because you didn't mention watching the meters at all.. in fact, you advised to run the mix with the gains....

Mike Fleming replied to John Hawkins's discussion 'FOH mix of tracks...' in the group PA (Engineer's Corner)"Is your FOH in stereo? If so, run the backing tracks in stereo also, you can get a really nice mix because some keyboard patches like piano and pads (strings) blend really well when in stereo. BIG difference from running in mono. Note that you will…"

Jon Wolske replied to John Hawkins's discussion 'zero db?...' in the group PA (Engineer's Corner)"You should not mix with the Gains (which is what is described here by putting the faders at unity and drawing up the gains so that the instrument/mic is roughly where it needs to be in the mix...)

Junjie replied to John Hawkins's discussion 'a question for worship pastors....taking a break'"I for one find using clicks a stressful experience.

anyone else use clicktracks for worship?
Posted on August 4, 2009 at 8:46pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
Just wanted to know if anyone else uses clicktracks (stereo tracks with a click in one channel and music augmentation in the other). I have been using them with our praise team for about a year and they are fantastic. Anybody else use them? Just wanted to know...
