thoughts on Sunday 8/3/08 - from Brooke

TEch - Visuals
During worship/sermon
Things were a little crazy this Sunday.  At the last minute, we decided to try out some demo software for our visual projection.  However, about 45 minutes before the start of the service, it wasn't displaying on the wall correctly.  So we had to scrap it and go high gear to getting everything back into powerpoint.  Of course, I figured out the problem about 5 seconds after the service started, but we were already a go with powerpoint.  We'll just have to give the demo another shot this Sunday.  If anyone noticed the stressed frenzy in the booth, now you know why!  

I didn't notice any visual issues during either worship or the sermon.  But I was pretty distracted from the pre-service mania, so let us know if you saw anything.  

TEch - Sound
All congregational mic cues were great this week.  Great job!  

The EQ for the headset mic somehow got out of whack between the 7/27 and 8/3 sermons.  Kudos to John for getting it worked out within the first minute or so.  TW and I did notice that the booth and the amps were on when we came in Sunday morning.  Does anyone know if someone used the sanctuary over the weekend?  And if someone fiddled with the board during that time?  John, I'm thinking maybe we should make note of the proper EQ for TMS (and anyone else who might speak for that matter) and check it prior to the service.  I know people's voices aren't going to be exactly the same every time, but it might make things easier if we can get it close and make minor adjustments instead of having to make major ones.  I'm actually thinking maybe there should be a checklist for each person in the booth on Sunday morning so we can make sure everything gets covered.  Thoughts on that?  

Everything else was smooth sailing sound-wise as far as I can remember.  Overall mix was spot on, levels during Melanie's solo were great, didn't notice any feedback issues.

Anyone else have any input?

See you all on Sunday!
