Once again thanks for helping me out. ]]> Worship Service Players Saxguitar http://www.tdpri.com/forum/worship-service-players/186173-help-i-need-help-figuring-out-song.html http://www.tdpri.com/forum/worship-service-players/179325-my-church-rig.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:52:42 GMT When I was playing in the church band I used a blonde Gibson ES175, simple pedal board with compressor, chorus & digital delay, and ran it into a Lab Series L7. That church ended up having to close down due to real estate issues and when we moved on to another it was standard, old school pipe organist & choir music. I miss the modern P&W music though. ]]> Worship Service Players Telesavalis http://www.tdpri.com/forum/worship-service-players/179325-my-church-rig.html http://www.tdpri.com/forum/worship-service-players/180196-not-sure-where-belongs-but-church.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:34:14 GMT In the church I play in the "stage" volume is kept at a minimum. We have a lead guitar player a rhythm guitar player, a drummer, a keyboard, a bass and two vocalists. lead guitar has his amp right next to him facing him and runs it through a Line out to the house. Rhythm guitar player has his amp behind him facing to the side (away from the congregation) and mic'ed. The drummer uses electronic Roland V-Series drums running straight to the house (through a stereo DI) and has his own monitor. The keyboard player goes straight into the house (through a stereo DI) and has her own monitor. The bass player plays back next to the drummer and has his bass amp angled and facing him and runs it into the house via Line out. The vocalists use in ear monitors.

Because of the Roland V-Drums we can keep the "stage" volume down to a real minimum. If your drummer doesn't have electronic drums nothing you do will decrease the instrument volumes until you cage the drummer in plexiglass. ]]> Worship Service Players danerada http://www.tdpri.com/forum/worship-service-players/180196-not-sure-where-belongs-but-church.html http://www.tdpri.com/forum/worship-service-players/186268-i-wish-sombody-woulda-told-me.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:40:51 GMT Some of my favourite singers are below mediocre. So why do I like them? Because they have flavor.

The worst kinds of singers I know are the ones with excellent technique and no identity. I'd rather hear John Lee Hooker cough into a microphone than listen to Celine Dion wannabe's warble perfectly in tune for an hour.

Figure out what makes your voice just a tiny bit different than everyone else's...and push it in that direction. ]]> Worship Service Players GoldieLocks http://www.tdpri.com/forum/worship-service-players/186268-i-wish-sombody-woulda-told-me.html http://www.tdpri.com/forum/worship-service-players/136050-%93most-amusing-embarrassing-experience-p-w%94.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:33:01 GMT I had my first "oops" moment a few weeks ago. I was supposed to vamp the first 4 bars of a song while a vocalist warmed the crowd up a little bit. About the 4th time around I totally forgot what the heck I was playing. I am sure the look on my face was pretty humorous for the congregation. Thankfully our leader noticed my blunder and jumped in with a bass line which helped me to remember what the heck I was playing. ]]> Worship Service Players dale_c http://www.tdpri.com/forum/worship-service-players/136050-%93most-amusing-embarrassing-experience-p-w%94.html
