Sitting here listening to Starfield's first couple albums. These guys are quite a treat. Are there more bands out there in this style?

The morning sets (on rhythm electric) went really well today:
Endless Light (Hillsong)
Guardian (Worship Central)
Christ Is Enough (Hillsong)
Wide As The Sky (Matt Redman)
I've not long got home from Thrive (our evening coffee-shop-style service) which was really packed tonight - doing a series on marriage seemed to boost the numbers! It was just me on acoustic guitar and vocals:
Undivided (Elevation)
'Til I See You (Hillsong)

Hi all first time posting in this thread. I started playing at our church a year or so ago and have really gotten much more comfortable with everyone on the worship team and I'm really enjoying this opportunity to serve. My family ad I attended the church for several years before anyone even knew I played bass. Right now I'm using a Carvin XB75 a GK400rb and a hartke 215 with a sansamp bddi a tc delay and some compression, old alesis unit and everything is starting to come together nicely. Today's set list was:
Break every chain
This is the day
I will praise you
Victors crown
Victors crown was awesome today and the pastor had us go back up at the end of the service to play while people prayed and enjoyed some more free worship at the end. I'll be off next weekend and back up the week after. God bless you all and have a great week.

Another busy week! Sunday night was final practice before next Saturdays studio recording of our Divas song. Which by the way went much better this time although we went through the song a few times and I played it regular with the PentaBuzz, but a little more simple and finally she had to make a comment about not getting her way and then I stated when she was showing our regular guitarist her slightly off stutter strum that she favors (That sounds good actually). I stated that I brought my ThunderBass 6 to do her part she wanted up in a higher register with some reverb and a touch of distortion and she seemed pleased. The percussionist kept nodding approval as they were cross teaching her part which I don't think she will end up doing. It was an exercise in trying to please someone that is maybe not so pleaseable and still make things work and sound good.
Tomorrow(Monda , ok tonight) is rehearsal for Wednesday service at Calvary and Thursday is rehearsal for Sunday Calvary which I'm excited about because they just went to 2 services so we get twice the Worship in! Saturday is the Studio.
Next week is just Wednesday service so I'll have time to work on new upcoming songs and we might do a Thursday practice for next months new songs or maybe just work on some new originals. Then next Sunday is also a baby shower we are doing about 5 worship songs at, which will probably be some old favorites that we can just jam out on and have some real fun on. Looking forward to that !
Does anyone have more than one church they play at that uses Planning Center? Lighthouse just got a Planning Center account and I'm having a hard time as in no luck switching on the phone app. I have to go into the new app through email links right now. I gotta check this out. I'm thinking about using a different email address to separate them but I know I can't download the app twice so something has to get worked out. Any wisdom on that. Both go to the same email right now.

Awesome service yesterday!

Only in rehearsal at the moment - we're working on it.
We did do a couple of songs with a guest WL last year where there were loops with a click. We managed okay, apart from one song where the drummer got confused, rushed, then settled back on the click but a beat ahead. We just rolled with it and just meant that the loops sounded 'interesting', but probably didn't sound wrong to most people unless they knew the original track.
Current experience is that it's quite hard getting everyone to lock in to the tempo but we're trying.
I have been playing with click for about 3 years now. At first I hated it with a passion. I really didn't like in-ears at all. I like to feed off the crowd energy and I feel like I can't when I have a click in my ears. Now I don’t mind it as much and it has actually helped me with my timing issues. I think it can be really helpful especially if your drummer has timing issues. I will take some time to get use to it but once you do it will become second nature. Sometime I take one out to hear the response of the people
I've been playing with IEM's and click tracks for about 2 years now. The whole setup at our church is with near-zero stage volume in mind.
Bear in mind, the click is the one non-negotiable thing that must be respected if used.
At first it was a little tough to reconcile the click and trying to lock up with some of the drummers that turn the click down. Some of them don't like it. That makes it really tough to stay on track with the click, and can lead everyone off the beat in a hurry.
After awhile I realized that my natural desire to be exactly on tempo can be aided by this click thing--it allows us to keep a wandering drummer very much in time if used correctly.
Paired with the Aviom mixers, we can dial into our ears any mix desired. That said, I now usually run the drums very low in my IEM mix, and make sure that the click is prominent--lock into the click, and the drummer is better guided into the righteous path.
Seems counter-intuitive, but it really works well. After all, when you play with a click (we also have additional composition as part of the click track--it's not just a click in isolation), there is no use in locking up with a drummer if you can't absolutely stay on the beat--you'll just be locked up in a train wreck.
What's been interesting is that these drummers start playing better as well. Seems they are now freed up from some of their stress or something.
Sometimes in rehearsal, I will also run with only one IEM in place, leaving much of the ambient mix available. When Sunday comes, I can always tell if the people are really into it if I can hear them through my IEM's--without amplification.
All the best,
Shane
I was on sound on Sunday.
Our leader is fighting a bad cold and/or flu, so she arranged for extra vocal help, and the lead went back and forth between 3 people, sometimes within a song.
These arrangements made for a very full stage (2 acoustic guitars, bass, electric guitar, keyboard player with happy left hand, e-drums, and 6 open vocal mics.
I nromally dislike that, since it amplifies any over-playing problems, and that particular keyboard player and electric guitarist sometimes clutter up the midbass at the best of times.
Long story short, I don't know if I was just in a particularly good mood, but for some reason the team sounded absolutely stellar. Ever have one of those services where everything just seems to go perfectly, against all odds?

We always use the click. Our musicians rotate among several locations. As a result, you never know who you will be playing with next. The click is the only constant week to week and really it helps keep everyone together. I dont see it as a crutch, but rather a tool to improve the sound of the band.
The click track has been used for years at one of the churches I play at; it's not a problem for the two drummers in the rotation. One of the drummer subs has some problems with it. Once you get used to it (and if the band is on the click), you won't even notice it. Get off of it, however and the WL's eyes cross...
Yup. It's awesome.
I got to sing Sunday. That was not "one of those services". Ha! My bass-playing really suffers when I try to sing. Still, it was a fun time of worship.
Yeah, I actually emailed them about that exact issue. I can't remember the exact solution, but I'll try and find the exact email and message it to you. They're pretty quick with a response, though, so you might hear back from them first if you contact them.
My home church and pretty much any church that I regularly sub at uses a click. At first I thought it was a bit of a cheat, but now I realize how valuable it is for timing purposes, especially when we do songs with weird-rhythm bass intros ("This Is Your Life" by Switchfoot, or this past weekend when we played part of Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion"). I love feeding off the energy of other players, but I've found that a click doesn't hinder that at all.
I have a personal "free" account with planning center and our church uses it too. Flat out doesn't work correctly for me. I can't log into the church and set my schedule because it kicks me over to the personal account. Never did figure it out.
I think we're going to sing How He Loves & Beneath the Waters (I Will Rise) on Wed night. I'm leading on an acoustic Martin guitar that I was blessed with, praise God. A few months ago I felt very rejected and out of place at former church; I'm now leading worship again for mid week fellowship, found a new church that I love, and I have a bass again! I may have mentioned these already.
We're meeting on the roof of a parking structure for worship. I think it will be fun to worship in open air with high temp of 82F expected for Wednesday. No chance of rain.
God bless us all.
