Welcome to Audio Connections!

by | Audio, Audio Connections, Editorial, Production

I would like to personally welcome everyone to Worship Facility’s Audio Connections, a new monthly email newsletter dedicated to Church Audio. Our goal is to provide helpful content designed to maximize the impact of your audio ministry. We’ll be digging into every aspect and challenge related to your presentation; team culture, training, best practices, live mix versus stream mix philosophies, managing expectations with Sr. leadership, and much more. And of course GEAR! 

Having worked in church audio for over 25 years, I want to be a reliable trustworthy resource for you. In my earliest years there was very little access to good information, outside of simple trial and error. Today we are bombarded with information overload and it can be overwhelming. 

I am grateful to fill the role of editor and curator. It is my honor to walk with you, providing wisdom, cutting through the white noise and providing real tangible solutions, applicable to churches of all sizes and styles. I’ll be sharing much of the wisdom I’ve acquired, but Audio Connections is for you. So please email me your questions and topics that are relevant to your situation. I can almost guarantee someone else is seeking similar answers. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Sunday’s coming. Make it great and ‘don’t forget to listen’.

Blessings!

Ron Cochran

My Love-Hate Relationship with the De-esser

I don’t remember ever using a de-esser in the early days of my recording career. Sure, there were a few clever engineers who would side-chain a compressor to tame certain frequency ranges, but that was rare and not always used on vocals. If a vocal was harsh or overly...
