If your question was geared towards me we used to have some really knowledgable guys around and for a short six month period we had a amazing sound team and visual team. We had a group of people who were well trained but as you probably know people die and move away and you loss contact. The older team of people running sound before I started on praise team was amazing but after I started playing the soundmen slowly drifted away from our church and went to different staes for business reasons. We used to have the retired pastors son in law do sound and he had perfect pitch and had a great sense of balance and how the mix should sound. He could mix like there was no tomorrow but he took a job at a college teaching a doctorate class in piano studies( I think?). In our congregation every youth plays a instrument or sings so we have a abundance of musical talent but the problem is that most of the youth don't want to learn the sound board, most don't even like playing on the praise team (they must be crazy). We have been trying to rope some new people in to learn and since the first post the mix has gotten better maybe it has to do with the temperature changes, all I know is that the for the past few weeks it been amazing how much the PT sound has changed, hopefully it continues to get better. As long as the PT directors husband is up on the board I know we are in good hands, hopefully some of the other members of the church and including myself can learn a little from him so no matter who is up there it sounds good. Even the music director has been impressed with the PT in the past few weeks, he has said it has never sounded so balanced. Thank God finally we are sounding good.
