Unless it's necessary I don't like to change things in the monitor mix. Occasionally when the band was running on the ragged edge of feedback during rehearsal I'll pull the master's down 1-2dB knowing that musicians play louder during service than rehearsal to stave off feedback. From my experience, the difference is not noticeable and therefore doesn't affect the performance of the musicians I couldn’t agree more, Randy.

In our case, once the monitors are set at pre-service rehearsal I don't want them changed without a discussion. Radical changes to my monitor feed during a set is a great way to cause a train-wreck.

Whining always goes up the chain of command, never down. He needs to pass his whining to the choir director for doing a shabby job. Whining always goes up the chain of command, never down.

(diet coke raised high) Thanks for bringing us your perspective. I will say that I, in the past, on occasion, have looked to you all and wondered, "why can't I hear the guitar in the monitor?" But I know how demanding the whole process is and what a great thing it is when all comes together during that perfect worship set. Here’s to you….sound guys! (diet coke raised high)

I remember that joke too. I also remember someone saying that there's gotta be an anus in the body of Christ. Did I just say that? Yep I just did. Wow Britt!

Bad sound is as painful as bad singing. Anyone who questions the contribution of techies reminds me of that joke where different bodyparts argued who was most important...we all know what part won that argument!

I grew up running tech things, starting with the "teleprompters" where we displayed the lyrics to the songs we sang, later running the video switcher, and later running sound. At one point I switched to the band side of things. Having the tech experience helped me along the way to know how to better get things done. The time I've spent leading worship has been experience that I feel I could not do without. So getting back to running sound this past Sunday, I very much felt like I was part of the worship leading experience. And even thinking back to when I ran words as a kid, I feel like that position is a part of it too! I had the opportunity to run sound at our college group this past Sunday.
