There are two types of pastors in this world: 1️⃣ The ones who trust the sound tech. 2️⃣ …and the ones who gotta “make sure it’s on.” You know exactly who I’m talking about. They walk up to the pulpit, look at the mic like it’s possessed, and hit you with that tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-Like they’re trying to send Morse code to heaven. Meanwhile, you’re in the booth, watching the channel meter clearly bouncing, whispering to yourself: “Yes, Pastor. It’s been on since Genesis.” Then they go: “Hello? Hello?”(Feedback screams)“Okay, now it’s working.” And the whole worship team turns around to see if you’re okay.You’re not. ⚡ Sound tech translation: The mic worked fine. The faith did not. 💬 Drop your favorite pastor mic moment below 👇Bonus points if you’ve ever seen one blow into the mic like it’s a Nintendo cartridge. — Nate

I just learned something fascinating about the band 10cc. For their song I’m Not in Love, they used a unique technique where each fader on the mixing board controlled a single pitched note. By moving the faders, they could play chords and create an ethereal, choir-like backing track. Such a creative way to turn the mixing board into a virtual instrument!
