Church Goer or Profiteer? | MxU Podcast 179
This is episode 179 of the MxU Podcast! Jeff and Spencer are joined this week by Toby Walters and Blake Hodges from ChurchGear. They talk everything from the "joys" of running to enneagrams and history lessons. We did discover that Spencer and Blake are more alike than you might think... at least on paper. On a more serious note, the guys discuss whether or not the companies churches work with are really looking out for their best interests. Is your church just another business opportunity for them?

Awesome video man! I have a question. What was that choir effect from 2:26 timestamp to 2:28 because it was her voice but around that timestamp it sounded like a choir made out of her voice but what was that effect. I hope to hear back from you! Thank you!
Listen in context💯
Thank you
You better like old people..lol, but bringing both worship music genres together is a blessing.
Super practical advice from a veteran. Love it!
I love that desk. I looked at it for a very long time. I ended up with the Allen & Heath GL2400. I also love my console but if I had one regret... Le sigh... I absolutely work the way this video shows. Hybrid mixing is the best for me. I know I'm old school and I came from the world of mixing live music on an analog desk but it works for me

I realize this may be time consuming in a training video, but how about ACTUALLY running a channel with an input (via DAW) and APPLYING an effects to demonstrate how it works and sounds. In addition, an audio engineer and/or their team will have to spend an entire day to apply and play with even the basics of effects send/returns for various instruments and vocals. I would spend two days. ;)
Hey Henry! This video serves as an overview of what effects look like on the Allen & Heath dLive series of consoles. For mixing videos, like you're referring to, we have another course being released in the next few weeks. Stay tuned here for those videos! We also have hundreds of mixing videos on the MxU platform. You can sign up for free here: getmxu.com/ Thanks for the comment!
@@mxurocks Thank you! I would still take a day or two to get my ears wrapped around what the effects are like. Our church has an Avantis, and the display is very similar. :)
@@henryvanweeren7233 Hey Henry! We actually have an entire course on the Allen & Heath Avantis that you can find at this link: app.getmxu.com/playlists/08234120 We also have a course on Basic Effects which uses the Avantis. You can find that here: app.getmxu.com/playlists/686b7277
My issue is beards. Our pastor went full Calvin with his and rustle is a big issue 😆Any time he nods or shakes his head the beard gets caught if it's too close. Any tips for dealing with this? Currently we run it around outside his beard but I see a lot of people with it right against their skin through the beard.

In the black church it seems to be almost backwards. Pushing on the upper limits is needed and matches the energy.
gotta get me that UFX card...
We just upgraded to dLive and these videos are going to be great resources to give to our volunteers! Thank you.
Williams Deborah Johnson Karen Young Jeffrey
thank you so so much for this
I'm no expert but I do advise my team to keep it somwhere between cathedral and rock concert...ultimately worship needs to be loud enough for folks in the sanctuary to sing along comfortably while also not being a distraction to their neighbors. 😅 I also believe that the volume level in the space should somewhat be gauged on how full the sanctuary is from one service to the next. More bodies = more freedom to crank up the Mains a bit more IMO. Great topic guys thanks!
Just get into the subject matter, please.
Spencer's statement at 49:22 is perhaps the key statement of the whole podcast.

I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in the sense that I enjoy the impact of loud music but like most concerts are just uncomfortable.
We used to have a Wings Ect. here in Springfield, IL. I actually like Dominos Pizza wings too. Garlic Parm! 🍗 My wife loves her Franks Hot sauce.
Wings Etc. is our new favorite lunch spot. Dominos is an interesting take 👀

How do we submit a mix to be reviewed? Would love the feedback. Broadcast mix is FOH mix with a limiter for loudness on the stream. Avid S6L with waves soundgrid. We have a 2nd S6l for monitors exclusively.
Hey Chad! Feel free to submit your service to support@getmxu.com with a link to the audio or video and some brief info about your setup. Thanks so much! We look forward to reviewing it.
We typically have another worship song after the message. Folks ears have been adjusted to a lower level for a speaking voice, so for the song after the message, my DCA's are not at full volume yet. I slowly ramp the volume and by the chorus it's pretty full.
Hot sauce should not be isolated to one type. Get variety - just like music, hot sauce has variety.
Our church has a Worship Leader who "wants thump from the subs and to feel the low-end". Thing is, the drums are un-shielded and so we have to mix above the drum kit. I tend to be a little lower level than another mixer at my church and yet I think it works but I have turned things up and I get the "mix was good" from those few who want more. This doesn't necessarily consider the wants of others in the congregation. However ... we just had Seventh Day Slumber come through and play a concert at our church Friday night and we saw 115 dB on the meter (I think he may NOT have done Slow A but that same WL said he saw 115). Some little kids in the room were fine with it. So, I don't know what to think lately :)
For drummers with 10 years experience, asking to play quieter is temporary. Some just ignore fully - usually because they have never used control much before and their FoH has fixed it in the mix so their loud drums are covered by a louder band. The bleed of snare, cymbals and such into the vocal mics will end up as a timing wash in the online feed due to uncaged drummer. And no, smaller churches are NOT replacing drums with plugins. They are just throwing out the band into the feed as-is. Many smaller churches don't know how to do virtual sound check or know how to record their tracks.

Great discussion! Just coming out of the other end of a loudness issue at my church. We're load in load out so we do our best to utilise a drum screen, and have recently added a roof to kill the drums a little more which has helped. However, the venue is an acoustic nightmare so a lot of the issue was actually the reflection of the room. People perceived it to be loud, however what they were hearing was a harshness in the high mid range from vocals, guitars and keys. The moment we dialed that stuff down, everyone was a lot more happy and in fact we could push it back up to around 90dBa very comfortably and we're now getting comments from the congregation saying how they can finally worship again without getting distracted. Now that's a huge win! I'm very thankful MKL mentioned the Fletcher Munson curve because it puts proof to what we've just actioned, so it's definitely something I will be reading up on and teaching to my techs moving forward. SIde not on drums... getting an acoustic drum kit tuned, mic'd, EQ'd and processed to a point that sounds good take a lot of time, effort, knowledge and skill which frankly a lot of churches don't have. I'm also a drummer and traditionally hated electronic kits, however I have changed my mind and do think it's worth investing in a good one that sounds and feels good because it serves a less experienced team a lot better IMO.
yessir MKL in the building
Replay!! Good discussion.
Insightful! Thanks B
Dude, they didn't understand you ;) I understood what you meant and I understand the question, I was very interested in the answer but I didn't get it. I think you are the one who can answer that question.
This what I’ve looking fore
Thanks for easy explanation of complicated task. Good job.
I don't think I would want anything to do with those mixer since they got a "Gay Knob" 2:28 😂
WHAT MIXER DOES THE FOH MIXER USE SIR?
NICE,,, PERFECT
Yes of course it's been wonderful. God bless you in all
drum kick is in stereo?
No, kick in and kick out. (Separate parts of the kick drum,each mono inputs)
I appreciated the review. This guy makes some good points. Would love to hear from the perspective of a pro mixer and not church beginners though.
Man, analogue desks sound so nice
Just curious, how are you mixing from a recording and not actually a live setting? Can I record our worship team and then do the mixing without actually having them there?
This is called “virtual soundcheck”. If you google your console and the words “virtual sound check” you’ll probably find some videos that actually cover the process on your console. In general, the process is this: record the raw, multi-track audio to some sort of DAW. Each instrument goes to its own track. Then use your DAW to replay the recording back. The mixer receives each instrument as its own input and then passes the audio through the channel processing. This is what allows you to mix without the band. A lot of digital consoles allow this. Which mixer do you have?
