Reminder To All Wireless Microphone Users

Reminder To All Wireless Microphone Users: "

The Federal Communications Commission handed down a ruling in 2009 that has become very costly to users of wireless microphones. The ruling states that the 700 MHz frequency band [698-806 MHz] will be partitioned so that commercial wireless services and personal wireless devices (iphone, blackberrys, etc) can have their place in the airwaves. This affects all wireless microphones that currently operate in that 700 MHz band. In short, after June 12, 2010, those wireless microphones can no longer be used. Doing so will constitute illegal usage of the 700 MHz band.

Vaya Con Dios, Gretchen

New City Fellowship says, "so long, for now" today to one of its strongest and most consistent vocalists. Gretchen Striebeck will married later this week to Kent White and leaving Chattanooga for Nashville, TN.


Gretchen can always be counted on for those "goosebump" moments, not just because of her voice but because she's one of the one of those rare vocalists who knows exactly what room they are in at the moment they're singing. If a singer has a high confidence level, and can hit the notes, then they are able to improvise without appearing to. They can hear the sound of the PA in the room, they can hear the size of the room, and they can make those subtle adjustments that are little noticed by the audience. It also means I get to play around with digital delay. I often am accused, (and accuse myself actually) of overusing this effect, but what a soundguy is able to do (with the right singer, and the right song)is actually extend the length of the notes the singer might be holding, or can sometimes accentuate certain key words of the lyrics by causing them to repeat, or slap back. A really good singer can play off this effect as well. It's all in the timing.

Anyway, Gretchen, it's been fun. As we say in the music business- "see you down the road." Thanks for the music. The Lord bless you and Kent.

Here's the song New City will remember you for, and of course, you saved the best take for last. Typical Singer.

You Do Know How To Use THIS Mixer, Right?

You Do Know How To Use THIS Mixer, Right?: "

Imagine walking into the sound booth and seeing a different mixer.  Imagine you have a stage full of musicians ready to practice and there is no manual, no "the abc mixer for dummies" booklet, oh, and this board has channel buttons that light up when you mute them - the opposite of the regular mixer you use.  What do you do?
