TEAM FEEDBACK : I asked some of those who attended the training what stood out the most to them and what they could implement this coming Sunday … Here are some of their responses .
JD Broussard , our worship leader for the North Venue said , “ My biggest takeaway from the Allen & Heath training was that the better I understand the gear and the sound desk , the better I can serve our church and the service . One thing I learned specifically to Allen & Heath was how to quickly navigate to channel settings , reset those settings with a few shortcut commands , and even copy certain properties and paste them to other channels in my mix . This Sunday I plan on utilizing and implementing the option to save a specific EQ for one of our acoustic guitars in our user library for future use when that specific player returns to the stage later in the month .”
Jacob Cooley , one of our guitar players and worship leaders who is also beginning to work the sound desk said , “ My biggest takeaway : The simplicity of the Allen & Heath board allows anyone with a relatively small amount of training to add value in a live band or broadcasting setting . The thing I learned most from the training is the ability for saving presets for a consistent user and listener ’ s experience seems endless . What can I implement this Sunday ? I will set parameters for my guitar and save them to an unused channel for recall the next time I play . I also wanted to speak on the continuity of the different boards . I was able to train on the dLive board and then work our broadcasting board ( Avantis ) with no assistance at all . That was really exciting actually .”
Overall , this was a huge undertaking . Two install companies , six audio consoles , four venues , all upgraded . Being one tech director , it ’ s so helpful to have all of the equipment matching from room to room . Thank you to Allen & Heath for the brilliant design !
