Our Church Technology *Updated*

I'm revamping this post, as I wrote this when we were still worshipping in the gym. Moving into the sanctuary changed a few things.

Everything geared for the volunteer.

FOH console - Innovason SY80. www.innovason.com
Outboard gear - 2 Lexicon MPX 1
HBB Burnit CD Recorder
Tascam CD player
Raxxess Ipod Dock
Marantz Hard Disc Record
(sounds simple, right? KISS)

FOH Line -
4 EAW Line arrays, loaded with KF730 and 730SB (subwoofers)
6 mote SB600 subs.
Front fill and delay ring speakers.

Projection System -
PC running songshowplus. Powerpoint is a "no-no" for worship. The earlier versions of Songshow had a very weak AVI playback engine, but version 7 totally revamped those problems, and we are exclusively using SSP. No more MediaShout.

Stage systems -
Aviom system
Band members use headphones.
Vocals use a vocal mix, feeding wedge line (LA 212's)

Lighting System -
GrandMA Ultralight console -
ETC Dimmers,
100+ conventional ETC source 4 fixtures (19 degree lekos and par cans)
12 Martin 600NT wash fixtures.

Recording -
We multitrack our seasonal programs using (2) Mackie SDR's.

For scoring/charting, I use Finale 2007

I run a Mac Pro Tower with Protools, Finale, Final cut express, and imovie. Protools is used for studio recording, and remixing multitrack projects. Finale for scoring, and mostly imovie for video editing.

The worship ministry runs with MAC's in a PC world. I use a MacBook Pro, and a Mac Pro. My Technical Director uses a new iMac 20" and a MacBook Pro. My assistant uses a 20" iMac.
