Being "The Sound Guy" for weddings can be fun and easy or it can be extreme ridiculous. This Wedding, on Saturday, had it's fair share of non-communication issues, like not having a order of service, but it was by far one of the easiest ones I have ever done. There was only one Acoustic guitar, two female vocalist, and some walk-in music on a CD. The funny thing was they only wanted tracks 1,2,5,8,9, & 10. We used the CD players program button, so we wouldn't have to stare at the timer all day long. This feature sure does work nicely. We didn't have to fade down the music... and then skip tracks... and then fade up the music.



Burke Rea, one of the NewCov Production guys, came along to help out and learn the ropes so he could jump into the mix to be one of the "The Sound Guys" for weddings at NewCov. It's too bad this was an easy Wedding for him to see. It sure would have been nice for him to see us having three or four CD's to change out. Remembering to only play the first 32 seconds on track 4. Then place the next CD in QUICKLY and then play track 7 for 1 min and 17 secs and start the fade as Pastor Speaks. And then play video slide show on powerpoint computer or DVD player. Don't forget to mute the mics at communion.... and....and....don't forget too!!! If you have done sound enough times for weddings, then you know this is true and it does happen!



It was great having Burke come and hang out today. He was a lot of help. Even though learning sound from me can't be all that good. I really enjoy having him on the team and I look forward to seeing him continue to grow in his Faith with the Lord, and in the tech ministry here at NewCov. He's a hard worker, wants to learn more every Sunday, bright, an excellent leader, and fun to be around. He beings a lot to this team. Thanks Burke. You The Man.
