Developing a Consistent Mix Across Your Volunteer Team
Consistency is key to creating a welcoming worship environment. One of the most critical positions is that of the mix position. It can be even harder if you have a rotation of volunteers and/or even professionals at the helm. But how do we create consistency here and do it well week to week? In this session we’ll discuss how to: Establish your “sound”, create a consistent show file template that is approachable for all, how to keep things organized, establish a workflow that clearly defines the sandbox for an engineer to work from and create a safe space to perform virtual soundcheck.
TUESDAY, 4:15pm - 5:15pm
Workflow at Monitors
Success at monitors can be elusive. Creating multiple unique mixes for everyone on stage can be a challenge, so having a plan is important. We’ll look at ways to prepare before ever sitting behind the console, what to accomplish during sound check, and then delivering what the band and vocals need during the service.
WEDNESDAY, 11:15am - 12:15pm
