150. The Sound Check Lie

In Episode 150, the hosts discuss the differences between sound check and the finished mix. What happens when a service starts and your mix doesn’t match the sound check? How to fix your process leading up to services, things to look out for along the way, and more. The Church Sound Podcast is sponsored by DiGiCo and Shure.
