It's clean and effective!

Yes - church funds are a precious resource that can be used in the community far more effectively than stroking the egos of tech directors lusting for toys. Bravo to them for prioritizing the right things.

how i wish i get some of your old machine for studio production in Ghana to train children

The Grove was mobile for 7 years. Some of those mobile components are still in use both in our auditorium and our youth group space. The team has done a great job honoring my request to be frugal as we are a family that has just moved into our first permanent home. Dustin Sams, XP The Grove Church.

how do you tune?

If I'm not mistaken, there are manufacturer options too for lithium rechargeable batteries too. We switched over and now we don't worry about mics or packs dying midway through our third service.

2x4 boxes filled with rock wool insulation and then just wrap with something that matches your venue's interior design used to be a very inexpensive and effective way to go, but rock wool has really gone up - but I still think it's the most cost effective way to go. Oh yeah, wrap in fire retardant fabric - it costs more but is worth it. You don't want a repeat of the station nightclub fire in your church!

@terencechang233 For the wireless units themselves: Sennheiser G4 units. For the monitors: some of the band are running JH Audio custom IEMS and others are running the universal Shure 215's.

Being a drummer it’s the feel of hitting the drum head it’s just a preference between different drummers

If the triggers fail, you can still switch to the mic easily.

He's most likely using the triggers for gates not actual samples. You still need the sample audio to trigger the gates nonetheless so the option will still be there :)

Yes sir. We grabbed lunch after this shoot

They use the x32 backstage as an In-ear monitor mixer to have complete and separate EQ and compression settings and control of their mixes. This also allows them to not have to use any of the outputs from the Midas (FOH mixer) for IEMS. EQ and compression that sounds good for IEM mixes might not sound best for FOH applications. They are also using Waves at FOH and don't want to have vocal tuning effects in a vocalists in-ear monitors while they're singing, as this creates a phasing effect in the singer's IEMS.

@@Churchfront Wow! This isn't exactly a minimalist setup then.

@@Churchfront By outputs you mean Auxes right?

@@Churchfront Would a set up that uses wedges instead of IEMs remove the necessity of another mixer asides the FOH?

No answer? What are you seeing tuning reference?

I'm not 100% sure, but the pedal may have been a digital delay. I am curious to its reason and function, too.

That was just a spare pedal that a guitarist had set down on the mixer. No function.

No reason or function. Just a resting place for a pedal that a guitarist removed from their board.

hahaha! Reach out to us at worshipministryschool.com and we can help you know things!

X32 - 32 outputs. He said 2 mono. so he COULD do 16 stereo. But he has 14 stereo and 2 mono.

@@jscottbradshaw I was under the impression that it could only do a total of 40 ins and a total of 16 xlr plus 6 aux outs...what am i missing here in setting this up?

Nevermind figured it out after looking in to the user outs page

Depends on the area and system, I’ve done shows where the system was perfect, it rained and the change in humidity made it to where we had to retune to get rid of some unwanted frequencies all in the matter of a few days. Sure not everyone needs to or wants to do it but I won’t harsh a dude for staying on top of it. It doesn’t cost anything but time if you know what you are doing and do it yourself.

Compared to many other 2000+ member churches, this is definitely a low budget setup. Having an experienced and knowledgable TD like Kyle definitely helps make it all work and sound/look the best it possibly can with already existing equipment (note the handmade acoustic treatment and the 10+ year old x32 mixer).

@@Churchfront a church I volunteered at had maybe 300 people on any given day. They had a 32channel analog yamaha mixer. I showed the audio team how to mix through the 4 group busses so as to export virtual "stems" through an audio interface so could balance an alternative mix for the livestream feed via vmix. I have pictures. I ran it through Presonus Studio ONE for live mix monitoring and DSP then into vMix which was too clunky for audio. I used NDI vst plugin to send audio to vMix from studio one master channel. When I left, they ditched S1 and mixed audio stems with vMix. It worked alright but there was lots of improvements I didn't get a chance to make. we had 3 birddog PTZ cameras. I never liked the image quality that came out of them. Not good in low light. They would occasionally zoom/tilt randomly and suddenly frame stuttering started to happen one day and we could never solve it. For the same low budget, we could have had some blackmagic studio cams hooked up with SDI. That would have been good. I live more remotely now so I am churchless. Is what it is.

You mean why are they both ridiculously good looking?

Or is it, they look ridiculously good? Twilight zone…..

@@Churchfront I'm looking at El Tigre and Magnum over here.

It's a requirement for Churches today. It's all in the show. If you have the right lighting and sound then you have WORSHIP. Without it God is not there.
