    He just shared that and more with some people in our worship ministry. The guys a genius...

    And if you think that was intense, you should hear him explain his rig!!!

    Very good ... very good. We're building acoustical amp boxes that will be installed way back stage in our new bldg at St. Simons Community Church ... and we're spending a lot of time (and money) on professional acoustical design and treatments. Hopefully that will work.

    I'd say some of my favorite times are when the band completely drops out and we just sing acapella to God. There is NOTHING like the sound of hundreds ... thousands of voices, singing in harmony.

    I really respect what he had to say - I look forward to hearing more about how this works out.

    Does Karl have a blog?

    For the Kingdom,
    Fred

    Wow! that was a lot. good stuff, it takes that kind of humility and team player attitude to keep a worship team functioning.

    Very good info, wow! "But sound (that is, the air waves traveling and colliding with your ears), is felt more than heard." "We wish to help move them, and put them in a place where it is easy and comfortable for them to worship God with abandon. Karl 2007... Great stuff!

    Thank you Karl,

    Nice rant Karl. I read this far.
    Sometimes I'm a "raw feels good" guy.
    Sometimes I'm a "clean feels good" guy.
    I don't know if I knew why this was but your words gave me some clarity into it. Thanx.

    It would be really great to have a running blog commentary on how this plays out. I am definitely interested in hearing more about this!

    We currently run 6-8 different in-ear mixes on a Sunday morning for between 7 and 10 different musicians, depending on the team. This usually ends up in vocalists sharing a mix, drummer/bassist sharing a mix, etc. This fall we are moving 4 of those mixes to Aviom's so that our rhythm players - drums, bass, piano, guitar - will have their own dedicated mixes and full control over them.

    The sound/noise issue is something that we're trying to figure out as we go into stage re-modeling mode and I'm interested to see how you guys figure all this stuff out!
