Lesson 04

Live stream sound

The stream is its own room with its own mix, and it is usually the largest room a church has. Most teams still run it as a by-product of the front-of-house balance.

This is how to give it a mix of its own without doubling the size of your team.

Before you ask

This lesson,in detail.

We only have one desk. Is this still useful?

Yes. Most of it is about what you send where, not about buying a second desk.

Do I need to be the sound person?

No, but you will understand what you are asking of them — which is most of the job of leading them.

Which desk do you teach on?

Ours, then the principles that move to yours. Every desk does the same few things in a different order.

Is video covered?

No. This is sound. Picture is somebody else's three days.
