"We put the click in the main mix. Helps the congregation stay in time." Man, I love you and your wit

Jake, Kaylee, Ashton and the rest of the team, Thank you for your willingness to share this video. The transparency is very much appreciated and need for some us out there leading a team.

I liked the drummer recovery at 7:42 when he lost control of his stick but caught it and didn’t miss a beat!

Made my morning when you said the click helps the congregation stay on time 😂😂😂😂 glad you did this video though, i like to see stuff like this keep it up.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Goodness of God ❤️ Thank you Jake Kaylee and team for sharing this! What's really encouraging for me is that our rehearsals are getting very close to what you have here based COMPLETELY on Jake's teachings and WLS. Thank you and God Bless you guys! :-)

This makes me appreciate my church's worship team and everyone else who puts this together so much.

This was an awesome rehearsal. I've gotten out of habit of going to other church's and being inspired by their leadership. i need to fix this and this video is what i needed today.

Love this Jake! Keep your heart for God and stay faithful my brother in Christ! You are impacting the Kingdom. Thank you and your wife. Love her as Christ loved the Church. You are blessed. Prayers for you and your ministries.

Hey Jake, Huge fan of your videos. Great to see all of the technology and various softwares you reference in your video tutorials being put to use in a real-live rehearsal/Sunday morning situation. It certainly makes mastery and usage of the technology look more attainable when you give us this raw footage of it, and also illustrates the many points you have made about the benefits of Ableton Live. Appreciate you and your ministry, Jake. Praying for the Lord to continue using you to equip worship leaders!

Jake is so hilarious. I love your heart and disposition to things. As we strive for the best possible, there's a need to be real where you are and excellent, diligently work towards what you see. Welldone!

Merci pour ce que vous apportez à de nombreuses églises locales à travers le monde par votre service. Blessings from France.

Oh glory! hallelujahs! what a beautiful ministry, I do not have this structure yet, but we are grateful to God for all that he has done to us, congratulations!

Love it Jake, keep up the fantastic effort.

Wow, that build of the two of you in miracles singing "his life is flowing through my veins" gave me the chills. You nailed it!!

Thanks for sharing this rehearsal. I play in a small church's worship band and have enjoyed the fellowship as we play together, but there are times when the stress levels get high as the clock ticks down. I've only been playing for a little over a year but it has helped me grow. Our worship service isn't so elaborate, so I commend you and your team for making it happen. It's also good how you and your wife lead it together. Your kids are hilarious, as most are at that age. I'm impressed that you apparently have to set up and set down each week. Our church used to be that way, so hopefully at some point you will be able to find a place as your own.

Great! Would love to see more of these!

Good stuff, Jake! We actually just did 'Goodness of God' for the first time at our rehearsal tonight. That song is incredibly good. I think it's the best song on that album, at least it's my personal favorite. Excited to do it on Sunday.

This a great opportunity to look forward to Grace Day tomorrow. This is How I Fight My Battles was in my head this morning while working out. Great alignment.

This is really cool! You guys have helped me so much with the automation of my church bless this channel!

Hallelujah!!! Glory to God in the highest..

Love the song Miracles!

You are a Blessing to all of us.. we learn a lot from You, love from India🇮🇳

Love it 🥰 thanks for sharing. It could help me a lot with my worship rehearsal.

Great 👍 Enjoyed your captions 😀 Wonderful family 👍

Nice video. Even the little mistakes are fun to watch (glad you left those in the video). Very good sound quality. Just a tip: the drums could be a little bit louder. Overall quality of video and lights are great as well. Congrats for your hard work, Jake, Ashton and friends. GOD bless you all!!

Great job, thank you for sharing!

It's cool to see more people getting involved, not sure if it was a lack of personnel or what, but it's nice to see more bodies on stage. Sounds good!

I love your lighting! Simple and looks great!

Great to see how others do rehearsals

This worship rehearsal video is amazing... good to learn from hehe...

Your kids giggling at the mic was very cute! It is so good to be able to get them to experience all this art that we do so early on in their lives.

I know drummers who have played drums for 12 years and aren't as good as that drummer. Pure gold, hold on with both hands

My church in Philippines is in farflung area, we use Multitracks to synchronize well. I enjoy your team sounds, light to propresenter lyrics. I found some similarity also . Thanks for the transparency and subtitles. hahaha

Cool to see behind the scenes. I drum for a church in FL and we also use Ableton to supplement. The drummers run it from the kit. We've yet to go fully automated w/ Ableton cuing lighting/lyrics changes. We still have volunteers handling that. Great sound/visual from such a small crew! Very nice

One of my favorites! Love Gige!

“Anyone can be Leeland if you drop the key five steps” 😂 I hear you man!!

Sounds awesome man!!

I'm not sure which I'm enjoying more, worshiping with you or being entertained by the Mystery Science Theater style textual commentary!

click in the mix i love it !

Found it! Got to start wearing my glasses!!!!!

Excited for that $500 template video!

thank you for sharing this! loved when your kids came to join in assuming this is Sunday morning before service, is this your only practice together? or do you have a separate place to practice sometime during the week? your team seems pretty well prepared so wondering how you get everyone on the same page if you don't have rehearsal before Sunday morning

thanks for sharing!

great mix. your wife has a great voice.

This is great!

I enjoyed the ol' drop-and-save by the drummer at 7:40. He did great by laughing it off too, because that's what you gotta do when that happens! He's got a great sense of dynamics too, especially being that young. Stays true to the song and really plays for the music. Keep it up drummer!

Nice

I found myself joining you in worship! Its very reassuring to see that you also have all those technical issues before service. If I may add my two cents to your mix: I would add a little highs (or air) to your female lead or switch to a brighter mic for her. Also, on the first song, if you add in some delay effect to her lead, it will add a lot of energy to the song.

Reverb sounds great

pretty good sound, sounding pretty tight

Very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing. In my opinion, this mix has the same issue that my own church has. I call it the ‘karaoke mix’ where the vocalist is so much louder than the band that it sounds like singing to a backing track instead of being in the mix. My preference is to drop it about 3db so the band’s a more cohesive whole. It’s particularly noticeable with the female vocal because it cuts through so easily. She does have a great voice though. Thanks again. 🙂

The subtitles are hilarious 😂. Thanks for your transparency, Jake, and sharing what your rehearsals look like! I’m always running into that problem of the MD mic picking up all kinds of noise in the bands’ IEMs. Have you guys figured out a way to try work around that?

I really would like to see the video of live playing of these songs in the actual worship service...just a thought though.

I Love this video! Awesome work! What kind of drum gear and audio gear do y'all use? Audio being sound board, main speakers, etc. Drum gear being Kit, snare, cymbals, etc. Thanks for all you do for the worship community!

I yelled "YES!" when they finally came to fix the projector alignment. My OCD was going off. 😂

Tip 2: not sure what it sounds like in house and I’m not sure the capabilities of your mixer is but making sure secondary/harmony singers are more along the lines of blending with the audience. I understand it probably sounds fuller and balanced within itself but it’s more important to have the congregation prominently hear the lead vocalist. If your mixer can change for each song to adjust to who the lead vocalist is that’d be best otherwise training the sound person to raise the following song’s lead vocalist up and once the song starts turn down the previous lead vocalist(s)’ mic. It can be difficult but it’ll help making it sound balanced with the congregation.

This is nice

Hey Jake, my church is also a tear down & setup again church. Would you do a video of how you setup the lights and sound system in this video? thanks!

Hey man I really enjoyed the video.....what is the programs you are using...man I wish I knew all this..I'm about to start a worship band. And hopefully have a church evolve from it.

We need that click stuff at our church. I'm new at drumming and I'm our church drummer. No pressure, lol. Would help out immensely.

Tip: main vocals turn down the ratio a little so when she backs away it’ll sound natural. It’ll also help with making the vocals not sound like a brick wall which it currently does.

I would love it if you would share a video with tips for making rehearsal more effective, efficient, and most importantly, more Christ-centered. Thanks!

Sat here and typed an astonished response to your 3:30 strategy of putting click in main mix. Then i unpaused haha

Thanks brother.. :)

Wowwww!!!

Where can we order an Ashton?

Thanks for sharing. As a live sound engineer, it's just my opinion but.... I would suggest, bringing the keys down a pinch, bass guitar up, kick up (need to feel the beat in your chest), snare up a pinch (not much), clear the Guitar up a pinch ... just not hearing your playing clearly.

Nobody is sharing the worst moments in worship ministry with these funny comments, please keep doing this!

Love the video and the commentary. My main concern with running something like Ableton and backing tracks is that (to me it seems) it makes worship into more performance worship over spontaneous spirit lead worship. What are your thoughts?

How's the set up of lights and design? Looks nice I wish I could make our church like that!

Great Video!!! One question though...How much for an Ashton of my own?

Great idea to do the whole run through. For the click, is it always that fast of a “click” even on slow songs or is it just a setting change? BTW-mix is solid... thanks for all the tips

Jake, I like the way your guitar sounds. What kind of strings do you use and what gauge? Love the video, thanks!

Way maker was tight!

What equipment should my church purchase to get a high quality stream like this..I have an X32 already. Any other recommendations?

Please jake can we get more of this type of video?

Mix is pretty good. Really needs more snare once the full band is going.

How much weekly prep time goes into setting up all of your midi queues, set lists, etc in ableton?

Am I listening to a mono mix from this in my headphones?

I really enjoyed watching this... Any chance you will be willing to FaceTime and chat maybe mess around with my mixing board at church?

Love the jokes - also does anybody else find themselves dancing to the click or is it just me lol

Call me old school, but if I don’t have a lead guitarist, I don’t use one. And can I have some more click in the mix please?

Great video with fantastic technology but IMHO vocals are pitchy - possibly due to insufficient reference pitch (keys and or guitar) in the hearback. The vocal line could be added into the guide track. Sorry to be super critical.

In the spirit of constructive feedback, vocals may want to focus on intonation. Also, harmonies had a tendency to “wander.” Of course, this could be a KZfaq thing... I notice the same things in my church’s uploads. Cheers, and thanks for sharing.

I like how this mix sounds, only one thing: The drummers mixing is a little bit quiet, I'm not really getting enough snare in the mix, kick toms and cymbals sound good, just the snare is a bit quiet.

Hey Jake are you guys panning the click&guide track at all in your ears to here them better or is it just mixed in with everything left and right?

The Mix. the snare is sometime missing. especially the chorus session.

hey bro, what phone app did you use in controlling talkback?

You play at a 100 member church and already have a full band, especially a drummer??

Jake: In the video we see the lyrics BEHIND the singers - but - I'm assuming you are feeding the lyrics behind the congregation as well so that your team can see the words. None of you made any mistakes on the words (that I could hear) until the kids came on stage - which was cool by the way (start 'em young!)

I need to get an ashton is the link to buy one in the worship ministry toolkit....lol

We have frequently trouble with projection

Great to see some raw footage of rehearsal at another church! Love the little comments too hahaha, totally my kind of humour. Mixwise, I'd love more instrumental in general, kick and snare especially in the drums, more bass, Little more keys too. Think acoustic is sitting just about right (wish it was not as piezo-y though..)

I don’t know how you guys do down beat every 8 counts with the click. I find it’s easier to get lost counting to 8, then to just 4.

🔥🔥🔥

Got a kick out of the commentary. This was helpful in seeing your rehearsal in action, so thanks! First song you asked about I think is "ok"..not my favorite. Parts of it seem less congregationally "friendly" for singing.

hello jake, are all your teams hearing the same monitor mix??

Where is the link below Jake???

Could I add such a great drummer to the order of an Ashton?

There’s no electric guitar player. 🤔🤔🤔
