Your church sound system doesn’t have to overwhelm you

Whether you’re a worship leader or a sound volunteer at church, the sound system doesn’t have to be a source of frustration.

It CAN work properly at every rehearsal and every service.

Even the most novice volunteer can learn to run it well when you have it set up correctly.

We’ve all had that service where nothing goes right with the sound system.

Someone’s mic doesn’t work.

There’s a buzz that suddenly appears out of nowhere.

Or the mixes from week to week are totally inconsistent.

It’s a huge distraction from preparing for the service when the sound system doesn’t behave the way it should.

But it doesn’t have to be that way

You can learn to set up your sound system in a way that’s reliable, easy to use, and simple for training new volunteers.

You can learn to mix well (and teach your team to do the same) even if you’ve never had professional training.

You can set up your broadcast mix so that it’s a great representation of what it’s like there in-person… without spending tens of thousands of dollars on equipment.

I used to struggle to get the music to sound good, and I felt unprepared, like I didn’t really know what I was doing.

After going through Worship Sound Wisdom University courses, I found that I was better at preparing and understood the musical elements better.

I had a better idea of how compression worked, how compression could be used to affect tone, as well as the other tools at my disposal.

Here's what others are saying about Worship Sound Wisdom University:

The material that I’ve learned through the Worship Sound Wisdom Broadcast Mixing course has been exceedingly practical, and everything I’ve implemented from it has made a noticeable difference.

I especially appreciate James’ emphasis on the spiritual dimension of what we are doing, and his encouraging way of presenting things.

- Cliff, St. Petersburg, Florida

I’ve actually teared up watching my church worship knowing that a mix I created helped get them there, and the sound wasn’t a distraction.

James is extremely helpful, and you’ll feel like he’s not only a teacher, but a trusted partner with your church that is invested in improving the worship experience. He always goes above and beyond with help, advice, and feedback.
