Outline for Urban Worship Symposium Tech Clinic

Tech Clinic Outline

How do we achieve consistency and excellence in our worship?

1) Worship Committee
2) Talent pool
3) constant and stable tech enviroment

What does a "constant and stable tech environment" bring to the worship?

1) A stress-free environment for the talent pool
a. things happen when they are supposed to happen
b. nothing bad happens
2) creative freedom and spontaneity
a. spontaneity should not be defined as "changing microphones because one didn't work"
b. creative freedom is born out of comfort and confidence
c. musical performance is affected and changes with the environment
d. pastor can wake up on Sunday and add a slideshow to the sermon

What are the tools that we use on a regular basis to create this "stable tech environment"?

-most churches could afford this tool
- live demo

2) Yamaha M7CL
- why we chose to go digital
- the pros and cons

3) Splitter system and stage boxes

4) Aviom system
