Future gear, fancy drummin', loops, lists, & gritty rappin'

Bob Kauflin has a helpful song list on the second coming
and another on the resurrection.

If you use loops in your worship band Kyle Campos of Our Rising Sound can produce them for you. For example, check out his band playing God Of This City live. You can also get lots of loops from his site for whatever you want to donate.

You want to see amazingly sychronized highly flammable, yet curiously effeminent mock sword fighting drummers? You got it!

And finally, I gotta get me one of these...

I particularly like the Creative Difference Engine & Decade Selector.

Don’t Call Me Shurely*

Shure produce an excellent free e-zine aimed specifically at church sound guys/tech teams Shure Notes for House Of Worship. The latest issue has a round table discussion with some top sound engineers. If you do a monitor mix before you do the house mix they give you compelling reasons why you should stop doing it! (Update - thanks to Alastair and Mat for pointing out the main article contradicts this advice! Shurely shome mishtake! What's happening Shure?!!)

check out the round table discussion here.

WorshipGod08 Seminars pt.3

*Spot the film reference? Leave me a comment. The first correct answer will recieve a Blank Microsoft Word Document! Write your own letter, list, poem, anything!

Hey...I've got a good idea...

Only a few weeks ago I was reflecting that in 20 plus years of performing, I've never seen a broken Shure SM58 microphone. I've seen 'em bent, bashed, rusted and smelling of meat (don't ask) but they still work. So this film of a lunatic from Shure Inc. getting a famous blues guitarist to drive a bus over their mikes is only mildly surprising.




If you enjoyed this why not watch them drop mikes from a seven story building or bury one in soil for a year?

You Got Noticed

Not only is Mark Altrogge a masterful & prolific songwriter, but he is also a genius at notices. Watch him big up the tech team, and destroy Bob Kauflin's reputation in a single blow.

(BTW - shout out to the GCN PA team. The best tech guys this side of the resurrection).
