SERVICE
Please be in your serving location 10 minutes before the service, no exceptions.
Follow along service order and be prepared for transitions.
Analyze the quality of your mix constantly. Is your mix clear? Does it have energy?
Aim for a level about 85dB for worship (settings on the metre: Slow, C weighted). This aim can easily need to increase if the congregation is overpowering the mix. Don't be afraid! If the mix is good, people need to hear those leading! As we go to 2 services, there will be less bodies, and this level may need to be less.
