I don’t have experience with that particular app but I do use Planning Center’s Music Stand app every week for this very purpose. If your church uses planning center services for planning their worship services, it is a monthly add-on ($2, $5, or $10 depending on how many volunteers you have set...

Small team this morning. No bass. Just myself on acoustic (Martin D18 -> Korg Pitch Black -> Radial J48) and vocals, and two other vocalists. I really like the dynamic change going from a full band with backing tracks one week to stripped down arrangements the next. I think it helps remind...

Another vote for fretless!

1999 Fender American Hot Rod Precision Bass. Passive. Volume, volume, tone. An absolute workhorse.

Thank you for sharing this! Graceland is one of my all-time favorite albums.

My 1999 Hot Rod P has been my #1 since I bought it back around 2007. This one looks great with that natural finish. GLWTS!

Sounds like a toxic culture that values “excellence” over pastoral care of its volunteers. Not a culture I’d want to be a part of.

Hartke has a special place in my heart because of that ad and my subsequent phone conversation with Larry. I miss my HA5000 but I’ll pick up another Hartke one day.

Enjoy the trip and time with your family!

Acoustic (me), bass, keys, and cajon this week. Rehearsal was a little rough this evening but everything will be fine on Sunday. (And even if it’s not, that’s alright!) Setlist: This Is Amazing Grace (Phil Wickham) In Christ Alone (Shane and Shane) O Lord My Rock and My Redeemer (Sovereign...

Looks like it’s going to be a great Sunday! Love the setlist, by the way. Indelible Grace Music has always put out such great music.

So cool! I remember about 15–20 years ago, Hartke put out ads with a number for Larry Hartke and encouraged people to cal. Super nice guy. We had a short conversation about gear and what sort of music I played. Thinking about that makes me want to go buy some Hartke gear again!

Nice! I spent two years on staff at a church in Corbin and I’ve got a lot of extended family in Somerset.

I once had an ongoing issue with a set of Shure SE215’s that would get this buzzing sound on one side every week. I did lots of troubleshooting and finally realized that the buzzing was only happening when I sang so it had to be some sort of resonance issues. Ear wax was definitely the culprit.

For me, the way a set of IEMs fit and knowing how to create a good monitor mix is a lot more important than number of drivers or even “quality” of IEMs. (Quotes around quality because it turns into quite a subjective term when talking about preferences in sound profiles.)
