Guide To Church Sound System Design

By Claudine Hodges


Registration is only the capture of only acoustic music, mixing allows to take shape for purely electroacoustic music, that is to say, who has existence and which is taking shape that 'at the end of mix (it is the same for film and audiovisual works). Besides this issue has generated in 1980s a number of reflections, some rock bands being unable to produce the same on SCENE1 (church sound system design).

On set, working with it (or them) boom operator (boom operator), it ensures the proper sounds recording dialogues or lyrics, trying to avoid as much as possible all the noise and controlling levels 'check in; it handles playback, provides, moreover, the mounting of only ambient sounds necessary (that is to say, outside of time saved location). This profession has evolved over the technical advances of cinema. At the beginning of talkies, there was the reign of omnipotence of soundengineer on set with his Fisher pole, then the movie came out of tray to go and shoot in natural settings. The chief sounds operator also uses multitrack hard disk recorders (genus Cantar) or memory cards.

Technologically similar to microphones used in studio, the microphones for sounds systems meet the different signals to recipient. The consoles have a concert dedicated to large number of entries provided for microphones, advanced EQ sections, a large number of auxiliary buses, especially for consoles dedicated to returns. DJ oriented consoles have little input - and most stereo, simple adjustments, a smaller footprint, and for a long correction "RIAA" for turntables. In Public Address, the console is reduced to a minimum and sometimes integrated directly into amplifier.

He often fills the director function because, beyond editing, mixing, clean sounds, it is often a real work of art director requested. These are the same functions as in radio, with the added bonus of professional relationships with people in image. This involves micro investment in harmony with the captured image, and a sharper focus with the image planes reports.

The former is common in Hi-Fi world. The second solution is preferred sounds as it allows greater flexibility (it is easier to correct the settings of an active filter, higher numerical reason that components a passive filter). But above all, the powers involved are the cost, weight and size of components of passive filter capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of watts would cause problems.

Some big soundengineers can become producers (in), that is to say, interested in production. The soundengineer music is professional contact with artists fully committed to their art. It should at least know apprehend artistic situations sometimes delicate and crucial. Traditionally, the producer advises musicians on song structure, the way it should play them, the expected effect once a recorded song.

The so-called limiters "peaks" protect against the first risk, limiters "RMS" against the second. The two may be combined. Some manufacturers offer more advanced devices capable of estimating in real time the heating of coil and the cone excursion and will kick in at closer to its limits.

Before sounds recording session, its preparation are done under the engineer's instructions: arrangement of orchestra, choice of microphones, headphones network installation for musicians. At sounds recording, the soundengineer checks that sounds recordings do not saturate by adjusting the setting best mic preamps and assumes good musical scale. A sounds recording may be said live when all the musicians recorded simultaneously or in successive layers (overdub (first rhythm tracks recorded with a (reference click the Tempo) and other sections: strings, brass, choirs, and solo instruments (in) dubbing instruments and finally solo singer. These records can done bit by bit ((en) punching-in and punch-out)
