Church Audio Training. I'm the author of several audio production guides including "Audio Essentials for Church Sound." This guide navigates you, step-by-step, through the detailed work of audio production; from working on the stage, to working with equipment, to creating a solid audio mix. Best of all, the guide is easy to understand, easy to apply, and enables you to meet the expectations placed on you by the musicians, the church staff, and the congregation.I conduct in-person training sessions which, much like my Audio Essentials guide, take you from working on the stage, to performing the sound check, to mixing during the service and dealing with common problems. If you'd like to learn more about speaking engagements, or the guide, check out www.behindthemixer.com to learn more.Life as a Church Audio Tech / Audio EngineeringI started BehindtheMixer.com because I discovered a world of church audio techs who never had any formal training and/or found available training material too hard to understand. As a church tech myself, who once struggled through the same frustrations regarding training, I decided it was time for a change. Behindthemixer.com covers important topics for anyone involved with church audio production, from the audio engineers to even the musicians and sometimes even the pastors. Topics not only include detailed technical articles, but also include heart issues which much be considered in the realm of church audio production. My OutlookIf I could, I'd spend a year visiting churches around the world and talking with the audio techs about their job. My two greatest joys, when it comes to live church audio engineering, are 1) watching a congregation fully engaged in worship and 2) watching a skilled audio tech do their job so well that no one notices. "All eyes forward," as the saying goes.
