97. Practice Makes Perfect

In Episode 97, James and Gary discuss an important part of live sound, practice. The little things we take note of, listen for, and learn along the way add up and result in a smoother and better service. The hosts also discuss incorporating tools like virtual soundcheck that allow you to practice without a band and EQ apps to help you discover tones and develop your ears. The Church Sound Podcast is sponsored by DiGiCo and Electro-Voice.
