Re: Pentecostal Soundmen

I only have two problems in my church.

1. The vocalist wont control the volume themselves. If they would all agree that on loud notes, pull the mic away and then pull it back to them we would be fine, I wouldn't spend the whole song trying to adjust them myself back and forth.

2. COMMUNICATION ! Don't send me a signal once to change something then when i dont change it enough or too much , you just get mad and say "forget it" . Tell me what you need and I will accomodate you, I need to know what you want and fix it right.

Also, Im not one of those who think I know it all, so dont feel like your going to hurt my feelings, tell me what needs to be done so we all can be happy .

Re: Pentecostal Soundmen

Scotty, can you invest in some limiters or compressors? They'll take that load off your hands.

Been there, done that. Oh and Miss singer? You might think your voice is so divine that we need to max out the sound, but our ears say a different story. Just let us handle it

Re: Pentecostal Soundmen

My big beef is with people who start the service off barely whispering so I turn them up and all of a sudden they decide to stop lip synching

My thoughts exactly. Every good sound man I have ever been around HATES it when the singers try to control they volume themselves by moving the microphone closer and further away. I was pretty surprised to read this guy wanted his to do that.

For good sound multiple compressors is a MUST. You need compressors on each of the main vocal tracks, one on the preachrs mic (probably with a gate also), and at least one for the choir mics to feed through.

Even a small church with a limited budge ought to have at least one compressor for the preachers mic and if possible one for each of the lead vocalists.

Re: Pentecostal Soundmen

At our church you could hold up a match to the speaker, and by God it would light!

The mints counter guy got in trouble for selling ear plugs along with tic tacs before service.

I can't stand screamers with the PA cranked up. I will get up and walk out of one of those places because the only think I am going to get out of the service is a headache.

I have a wide range of tolerance for bad sound but the 200 decibal sound blast is beyond that.

I will never forget about 25 years ago taking some UPC relatives to visit the home missions church just started in the town I lived in by a semi famous screaming UPC preacher. He had a small space in a strip mall with about 40 folding chairs set up. He also had a PA system with huge speakers for those 40 chairs he was no more than 10 feet from.

When he started screaming.....er....preaching I thought the skin was going to peel back from my face. Within five minutes my head was pounding but I was too polite to leave since I was one of about 20 people there.

Re: Pentecostal Soundmen

Talk about overkill!

I hated when I had to run sound for 'screamers'.

Re: Pentecostal Soundmen

I dont know about the best but I do know the worst..We have him. Hes about 80 yrs old and cant hear..Never pays attention to anything we say but Pastor doesnt want to hurt him by taking him out. He sits there and stares into space. When is it ok to say Ok, Im sorry but your just too old. We have great musicians and singers but this soundman is ruining it .
