Advice for the New Sound Guy

November 16th, 2005 by Steve Parker | Posted in Production | 10 Comments »

Hello, My name is Steve Parker (known as Steve-O by most of the people around me at The Rock here in Fort Collins, CO) Travis asked me to put together some thoughts about sound, relationships with the band, equipment, spirituality, production aspects, etc. This article is written towards those who, like me, are relatively new to the whole idea of sound for worship. I’ve been at it for about a year now with The Rock, and this article includes a lot of the knowledge I have gained in that time regarding the ministry. The subject is absolutely huge, and there are many different perspectives and opinions out there, so here’s my two cents. But one thing I know for sure: this ministry is a lot more than moving faders and turning knobs. So here goes.

Preparing for worship

2 Corinthians 12:7-10:

So to keep me from being too elated by the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he […]
