Chris: *focusing on the mixer* The Children running around: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Bad cable management only triggers me when it's worse than mine lol. I try to keep our stages clean, but it's an uphill fight that often ends in me hanging my head in shame.
Lol relatable. Same it only bugs me if it's visible or careless. If it's a big cord spaghetti because that's the only place where it makes sense to be like that, (like behind the wall near the drumkit in this situation since it's totally hidden) doesn't bug me at all.
@@djjazzyjeff1232 it bothers me from a logistical perspective. Cable spaghetti adds just a little extra frustration to teardown later, and I wish I had more willpower when setting up to deal with it properly. Doesn't bother me during a show though.
True - I was thought that ‘rolled up extra length of cable is okay at the stage box. Not at the instrument/mic. That said, I’m still finding a good way to have even a clean and organized look at all cable positions 😉
Kudos to you, brother! You handled the cable situation pretty well. I've been doing sound engineering for about two years now, and when I see this kind of cable management, I just unplug everything and start from scratch. I've been learning a lot from you, brother. Thank you for the video.
Starting from scratch is the way to go. TEST EVERY CABLE! Also, a way to semi-permanently fix it because it will be bad within two months again. I use a lot of screws and pipe hangers. I will cover it with wire covers where people will walk.
also, keep excess cable in loops next to the instrument not at the stagebox. You avoid mess and with a routing map you can manage issue in few secs. Pretesting cables is crucial too
I hate when other people are playing during a soundcheck. Like come on wait your turn and be respectful to your time. I understand you are getting just levels but man it bugs me lol great stuff man. I will keep watching every video you put out. Love the content bro🤘🏻
I think they were just jamming out too much and lost in the music they were playing. When the whole band was sound checking it took chris like 5 times to get them to stop they were having so much fun playing lol.:P
I’ve been to my fair share of Haitian churches with bad sound setups and stumbled across your series and wondered what a Haitian church would sound like if they had your help. Well here we are! Thank you Sir!
As soon as you switched to the headphone/board/stream audio ... I was like yep, 100% they need a couple of room mics! That room does SO much extra for the sound, it's really a great sounding room!
"Just be kind and good things will happen." I'm not religious either, but that sounds like words to live by that everyone can agree with, believer or not!
Absolutely love this series, for someone who isn’t an audio engineer/ official sound guy it’s definitely helping me out a lot with learning my way with getting a good mix behind the board, having good cable management & having a good sound for a service
I literally learned how to run sound from this series. I’m a lighting designer, but wanted to get into sound. I ran my first sound show a few months ago.
I like doing these jobs. I have one coming up Thursday. Don't know what I'm walking in to but that's the fun part. Getting them all set to go is satisfying.
I'm loving this series. It was recommended by TH-cam. I know nothing about sound engineering apart from the very basic I learned when messing around in FL Studio years ago but this is fascinating.
im glad that even when you're not religious, God can still use you this much. I wish this service could serve also to you to find God. thanks for your good work
Cable management is extremely important. I have several different standard lengths of XLR cables and only use the length I need so I don't have a ton of cables being knotted all over the stage. I have each XLR labeled with colored labels on each end, color coded for length, and serialized so I can match one end to another without having to trace the whole cable. I also have a list at the snakes/wall plates/preamps/etc. with a preamp scheme. I have a small orchestra and large choir with front singers on Sunday the potential to mic up a full orchestra. I need to be able to lay out and take up mics and cables quickly.
@@MarcTelesha I certainly would if I had a consistent configuration, though the installed components are custom made. If I need to coil, I'm careful to keep coils from EM fields and from generating EM fields unnecessarily.
I love this series so much honestly watching it just knowing that im not the only sound engineer fixing a churches mess Oh god no talkback already stressing me out massively
I've really been loving this series of videos! Great work! I've learned some things. I'm a drummer and sound engineer/DJ and one piece of advice I give about drums is that you can literally make any drum kit sound decent with the right tuning and muffling. Even a cheap low-end beginner kit...but cymbals, no. I always suggest going hard and spending money on good quality cymbals over a higher end kit. If you only have the money to spend on one of those I suggest getting better cymbals. Makes a HUGE difference. Anyway, I hope you continue to make these videos!
Excellent work. Great patience. You are right a room mic would be nice for live stream. I been doing house of worship audio for over 40 years and can appreciate how tough it is to get a good mix with thrown together gear and less than professional musicians. Well done sir!
I love the "Super Size Me" vibe you have going now Also love how (super relatable as a church musician with a bad sound man) the guitarist knows whats up. Dude prolly gets told he is the problem a majority of the time and just doesn't want to feel paranoid
God is going to bless you ever so abundantly for the work you do my friend. Thank you for your awesome video. And all the knowledge you give us through them.
I appreaciate your honesty and great work helping out those in need. People who follow the teachings of Jesus are very understanding of the fact that being kind and humble will further what they love doing most which is coming together and having a wonderful time singing and preaching. So to you Chris thank you for recognizing this and being the gentleman that you are by helping with your amazing skills those who need it most. Take care keep up the great videos
from what I see, I can tell that you like what you do and you do it with love, personally I am confused with how much knowledge you have about these digital mixers in all your videos I felt your calmness and professionalism, I think you given something special to help those in need. I want as many videos as possible from you with what you do, maybe I can learn something from the crumbs that fall from your table. You make my day more beautiful by watching the way you explain. Thank you
I've been in church for the bulk of my life and have served as a sound guy. You may or may not understand how huge the need for audio help exists in most, if not all, small to medium-sized churches. You are a genuine God-send! I pray you once again (if you're not) begin to seek Jesus Christ, not necessarily religion or church. As a member of the church at large-Thank you!
It can be a pet peeve when it comes to cable management. It happens a lot in some venues. But I feel like this is amazing to watch! Sound mixing in general is something I would love to do! Right now I'm a singer and a DJ but I do want to run sound too one day!
45:54 may I Know ..why Every Headphone or in ear Monitor sounds Mono Quality ..how to achieve a Stereo experience for Ear monitor ? Or such A recorded "In Ear Mix ".or Streamed Service .. I watched on TH-cam have Stereo Quality 🙏🏻?
Hey Chris Nice for work man! You've said in your videos that you are not affiliated to any particular church or anything but let me tell you man God is using you to help a lot of people through your work! Keep it up and God bless you!!!!
Whether a divine being is using me to help people out is up for a discussion I have no interest in participating in. I’m just helping out people who are kind and asked for it.
@@chrishammillaudio This is really cool to see! I have the same mindset. And this has prompted me to see if I can contribute in a similar fashion with my own knowledge and skills. I appreciate ya.
The video quality on this one is insane! Is that the DJI Osmo pocket? Amazing. Nice work as always. You do what they need to improve their sound a lot in less than one day and you don't judge their system at all bc you know how hard it for them to do it without the audio knowledge . Keep pushing dude!
A better management should make everyone's life easier. When I do setups like this, usually, a distro with multi core cable(containing 12 XLR cables in a thick cable)is used. Plugs that connect distro to stage box(a midas DL251) have marked numbers, corresponding to distro's port 1 to 12. So just have routing and clock set, remembering something such as 1 to 12 input on DL251(or other stage box) corresponds to input 1 to 12 on sound desk, 13 to some value corresponds to another distro's corresponding ports.
I'm just now starting a job as a "janitor" in my biggest local church, a part of the job is being the sound guy. I have never used a big mixer like this before and it's hard but fun to learn, wich I have always wanted to do. What I'm trying to get to is how crazy it is to be able to come to a completely new church and make everything sound great and make it simple for people like me to do their job. Sooo much knowledge and computing power in your brain
A big part of it is knowing your tools. ;) Always read the manual of any board you are planning to be using regularly, and spend some time practising using it and getting to know how it fully functions. And if you're touring diferant venues, learning the diferent most common bords is kind of a must (but this is generally something picked up over time, through experiance working diferent places, rather than learning a bunch of boards back to back to back). ;)
Seeing those spaghetti cables all tangled up is like seeing gordon ramsay finding 2 years expired food in the fridge.🤣 Kudos to you.🙌 Love your videos man, keep it up. From New Zealand
Ahhhh did you fix the Cablemanagement before you left them? Mad respect dude for fixing the Sound without fixing the Cables and Patching first.... and while those kids are running around screaming haha very focused and professional!
Great job man! I wish I had that kind of confidence to go and dig through other people's setups. I know my church's rig and my home rig 😂. Day and night🌙 .
Heck yeah! These videos never disappoint. I gotta ask though, was it uncomfortable using the console at that position? I also love the addition of the GoPro filming the screen of the console. (Just could be tilted a little bit so it's a little easier to read)
I’ve become a fan of this channel my friend. This band has some “What a mighty God we serveeeeeee!” Vibes 😂😂😂 cheers my man. I hope I can sleep after seeing that cable management👋🏼
Very nice series. It would be interesting to try and fix church mixes in which they do not use Behringer x32, it will be very informative, for me at least, to see how you can mix on old analog mixers, or on different digital mixers from Soundcraft, Allen & Heath, Presonus, and the list goes on, if they reach out to you with this kind of tech. God bless you!
That cable management gave me a flashback to my gig as a substitute sound tech. My first time helping set up a professional rig. Any tips for keeping track of the cables? I was given a list of the assigned channels, but soon after I plugged in the cables on an empty stage, the band leader started asking "what's this cable for? My brain went "location not found" lol.
That’s literally the next video in this series 😂 I’m going to revisit the 5 churches I’ve visited and see if their streams are where I left them or they are back to being distorted messes.
This is awesome! We did two X32 producer boards (wish we did the standard X32), one dedicated for our stream and this setup with the bus for mains is a great idea! Wonder if we should of done so rather than 2 X32s as we run low on human resources at our church, me being the drummer and other guy that knows sound being the bass.
Thanks for the superfast response...hey do you have a link for the livestream episode you mixed??? I didn't see it on TH-cam. Great job by the way...I'm learning streaming from you...I need some more hardware but this helps me understand the process. Johnny
What VW do you have that's got a stick shift? THAT's AWESOME! oh SQUIRREL lol and yeah as always my OCD is more than tingling I think it fell off! LOL Great video as always! oh and man. ONE F($#$(#$ING CABLE TO KILL ALL THAT SPAGHETTI! sorry.. Capps, but yeah. one digital box, and one CAT6e Heavy shielded, and bam... no more mess.(plus MUCH shorter XLRs from the box obviously holy cow) can you imagine? Get those offering plates a shakin'! 😂
Hello Chris. Thank you for your video. I have been having a hard time video a hard drive that can plug and record directly from the x32. Could you please recommend the one that you are using to plug and record the Mx from the usb output
Thanks for showing. Beside this worse cable management the background noise of all the people would drive me crazy. You want to listen to something and from every edge someone is making noise. The guitarist while you are setting up the drums, the keyboard while making question about the microphones . This kids and the people talking the whole time.. no discripline. So the cable management seams no wonder.
That mix turned out really well! Have you considered adding reverb to this mixes? They sound pretty dry, I know you know that some effect would really elevate it
Have you ever brought an iPad/router and perhaps the Sonnect Sound Bullet to help you figure out analog patching without all the walking around? I mean, unless you appreciate the steps to help with your health .. but hey!
I don’t know why so many people are commenting about a router and an iPad. Other than my physical position on the floor to mix fog there was no point in needing one. I went up/down the stairs twice. Not a big deal.
i hate it so much, that i love it. I am taking my first plane ride to philly soon and every tells me angelos?.."i woulda been like...nevermind just plug in ur crap an leave me alone"
Yo Chris , really appreciate your vids. I need some advice , I do sound for this church in my area but they cant afford a Digital Mixer at the moment. The current mixer they are using is a Analague Behringer Eurodesk mixer that sounds terrible. What wouold you suggest I do cause they audio that goes into OBS sounds bad but the audio on FOH sound decent compared to the FOH. Greetings from South Africa.
Not worse than under my desk lol. I tried several times to keep it neat. I always get longer cables instead of short. Problem is i have lots of PC cables and tons of exteranal instrument racks...and the area is so small to keep sliding my desk out.. first to go around the monitors first and not trip over a wire.
You don’t cover a speaker with a blanket, but what it does is help absorb sound and isolate the kick drum further from the rest of the kit. It also helps reduce bleed from the kick into the other microphones.
I love how these are recorded and edited like its a reality tv show.
Chris: *focusing on the mixer*
The Children running around: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
So true.
I could only focus on the wires o.o
Bad cable management only triggers me when it's worse than mine lol. I try to keep our stages clean, but it's an uphill fight that often ends in me hanging my head in shame.

Yup. Let me back in tomorrow morning right after services are over. I'll pull out every wire, roll it neatly, and start from scratch.
Starting from scratch is the way to go. TEST EVERY CABLE! Also, a way to semi-permanently fix it because it will be bad within two months again. I use a lot of screws and pipe hangers. I will cover it with wire covers where people will walk.

I think a lot of church bands don’t really know how to sound check. We get comfy with the same set up week after week so we don’t go thru the process.

Could you not just put a reverb on the main fader to approximate the room for the stream, in the meantime?
@@chrishammillaudio what room mics do you recommend?
@@djjazzyjeff1232 There is reverb on the instruments that need reverb.

Wonder if we should of done so rather than 2 X32s as we run low on human resources at our church, me being the drummer and other guy that knows sound being the bass.
It’s always good to have a separate stream and FOH console.
Thanks for the superfast response...hey do you have a link for the livestream episode you mixed??? I didn't see it on TH-cam. Great job by the way...I'm learning streaming from you...I need some more hardware but this helps me understand the process. Johnny
This episode was filmed sometime in April so it might be available on the church's TH-cam page.
sounded great in the end
What VW do you have that's got a stick shift? THAT's AWESOME! oh SQUIRREL lol and yeah as always my OCD is more than tingling I think it fell off! LOL Great video as always! oh and man. ONE F($#$(#$ING CABLE TO KILL ALL THAT SPAGHETTI! sorry.. Capps, but yeah. one digital box, and one CAT6e Heavy shielded, and bam... no more mess.(plus MUCH shorter XLRs from the box obviously holy cow) can you imagine? Get those offering plates a shakin'! 😂

@@chrishammillaudio Yeah I just figured that out I guess I could have just done some research. lol looks like a very nice ride. Cheers!
thanks for the new vids one of the best
Hello Chris. Thank you for your video. I have been having a hard time video a hard drive that can plug and record directly from the x32. Could you please recommend the one that you are using to plug and record the Mx from the usb output
Any usb flash drive formatted to fat 32 up to 64GB will work.
Google must've recommended this because I'm Haitian myself, and y'all were working with a Haitian church. LOL
"It's been raining all week"
Me: "What do you mean? It's always sunny in Philadelphia..."
You are quick brother
Thanks for showing. Beside this worse cable management the background noise of all the people would drive me crazy. You want to listen to something and from every edge someone is making noise. The guitarist while you are setting up the drums, the keyboard while making question about the microphones . This kids and the people talking the whole time..
no discripline. So the cable management seams no wonder.
I laughed when you called the choir mics gang vocals. It's true, but also kind of funny.
Always called them gang vocals.
@@chrishammillaudio yeah, I was thinking church hardcore 🤣
I think that’d be the greatest thing I can ever see - a hardcore band praising Christ.
Honorary mention has to be made for the iconic Philadelphia International Record Label! 🎶🎶
That mix turned out really well! Have you considered adding reverb to this mixes? They sound pretty dry, I know you know that some effect would really elevate it
There’s a tiny bit but if they have room mics they will have all the reverb they’ll need.
Love that you enjoy those experiences, keep it up. God bless you for being kind too.
All I do is record and mix vocals and beats in a daw. Still i love to watch these. MOOORE
Have you ever brought an iPad/router and perhaps the Sonnect Sound Bullet to help you figure out analog patching without all the walking around? I mean, unless you appreciate the steps to help with your health .. but hey!
I don’t know why so many people are commenting about a router and an iPad. Other than my physical position on the floor to mix fog there was no point in needing one. I went up/down the stairs twice. Not a big deal.
i hate it so much, that i love it. I am taking my first plane ride to philly soon and every tells me angelos?.."i woulda been like...nevermind just plug in ur crap an leave me alone"
I thought the church I work at had bad cable management 😆
God I love the X32 though
I looooveee this series
Yo Chris , really appreciate your vids. I need some advice , I do sound for this church in my area but they cant afford a Digital Mixer at the moment. The current mixer they are using is a Analague Behringer Eurodesk mixer that sounds terrible. What wouold you suggest I do cause they audio that goes into OBS sounds bad but the audio on FOH sound decent compared to the FOH. Greetings from South Africa.
I personally use a Tascam model 24. If you can’t afford a digital console get one of those. Warm pres and it’s very easy to use.
Not worse than under my desk lol. I tried several times to keep it neat. I always get longer cables instead of short. Problem is i have lots of PC cables and tons of exteranal instrument racks...and the area is so small to keep sliding my desk out.. first to go around the monitors first and not trip over a wire.
Question: what does using a blanket to cover the kick mic and the speaker necessarily do. Clearly new to sound 😀
You don’t cover a speaker with a blanket, but what it does is help absorb sound and isolate the kick drum further from the rest of the kit. It also helps reduce bleed from the kick into the other microphones.
I'm going to have nightmares of cable management after this video!
