Session Description
This session is designed to help understand the nuances of sound, EQ, loudness and how to communicate this information to your techs and musicians. One of the barriers to great sound in your church is how technical staff, vocalist and musicians communicate with each other. Come hear Nathan, a sound engineer and technical director for Centre Street Church in Calgary, one of Canada’s largest churches, as he shares tips on how artists and techs can communicate more effectively with a common goal in mind.
