Dangit! I knew i should’ve hung around for a little while. I started to watch the live Friday but had to run to work and didn’t figure you would get to me, let alone we would be the first one 😂 So yeah it always seems quiet too me but if i push any more volume it’ll start to distort and sounds like the atem can’t handle it. The grand is real, it’s like a 5’ baby grand and i had no idea how to mic it when we got it nor did i have anything. So it’s just two 57s spread out to grab it all. I’ve been wanting to add a shot of the piano and the drums to help add some more dynamics to the stream we did testing and it looks amazing but haven’t been able to justify the cost over other things in the room yet. The thing in the air is our truss, it’s massive and you can’t seem it on that week but it has a cross in the front that lights up and then all of our stage lights are on it. We have rgb washes over the congregation, and we typically run the house lights at 40% that week i think was a little lower as we had a new light tech learning! We keep the vocals spread out partly because we have so much stage space (it’s 85’ wide and 30’ deep) but the lower stage is a lot smaller we typically only put two - three vocalist down there otherwise it gets crowded. And our sermon series is called the playbook so the bumper is all football which as a southern church gets everyone excited lol Thank you both for some awesome feedback! I’m going to definitely work on getting the volume up. And we’re working on adding some more front light on the vocals on top.
1:27:09 - have you or anyone had discussions with players who dangle? The loose IEM dangling on a generally nice shirt or whatnot. It is bothersome to me - and is an appearance thing. They should have it in, of course, but I want to come up with a way to nicely ask they tuck the dangle into a shirt or sweater layer versus a dangle. yes, toms spread too far on that one.
1:37:10 reverb item you mentioned. Reverb level - should it ever surpass "the space"? Meaning not to use 4 second tail in a 100 person room. The reverb here is what I have heard in stadium concerts (ie. Passion in Atlanta) but likely their room is smaller. Thoughts on over-saturation of verb? I backed off using as much the last year and might want to lean in and add more soon again. .... widescreen during preach feels like it is when the cam ops all went to eat breakfast and get coffee while the message is spoken. Gotta get active with shots in that segment too.
2:12:00 - That has an 80s-mix vibe using modern equipment. Softening it with something like a plugin such as soothe-2 (in a DAW) would be nice. Since it is dLive, they might be using an exciter in the mix and do have overheads and snare are a bit hot. Feels like their singers are all centered in the mix and not spread out (ie. you would place them per-song using snapshots or snippets). Looking forward to some dLive myself - I'm hitting up the AES show in NYC for the A&H dLive certification course next month with Mike Bangs (who also helped design it).
great video!
34:48 the led wall shaped like a cross looks amazing! ❤
Wooooo! Go Harmony
The MS Shot Camera is Nikon D5600 and the other WS and side angle is the Canons
Big budget livestream reviews lol. Good stuff.
