He has not come back yet so I'm thinking about just teaching myself the rest by looking at youtube videos and reading articles about sound boards because I cant wait on him anymore. This Wednesday I was helping in the sound booth during the high school service and its this rule that states during the high school service only high scholl students can run tech and my friend Cameron (he goes to Union Grove) and I ran tech and something had went wrong with the microphones. They were fading out and nobody knew what was wrong so they(the adult tech people) told us to leave the booth so they could fix the problem and they could not fix it and they came to me and Cameron to see if we knew and I said "Maybe. Let me try to fix it" and it literally to me like 2 seconds to fix the problem -_- and everyone was looking stupid lol it was SO FUNNY Mrs. Vessell xD  I felt really good that night because I proved to them that they didn't know more than me just because they were older.

This week my mentor Mr. Mike still wasn't here so I'm hoping he will come back next week so I can learn more about the soundboard. This week I ran tech for the kids church again and I did lights sound and staging and I didn't get to learn the sound board. :(

Second blog of febuary

This week I didntearn anything because my mentors Mr. Mike could be at church because His wife cant walk for some reason and the doctors don't know what's wrong with her, so I don't think he'll be back anytime soon. Instead of learn ing about the sound board I did kids church like I used to do and I took pictures of it so I'm going to try to get on my moms laptop and upload them so u can see.

First blog of February

This week my church decided to get a new sound board, when I just started getting used to the old one yay! (I said sarcastically) Its a little different and a little more complex but I think I can handle it. My mentor Mr. Mike had told me not to worry because he is going to help me get familiar with it. This Wednesday I learned how to mute and adjust the gain of the microphone. The gain of the microphone measures the distance of it like if the microphone is far away from the speaker the gain needs to be turned up and if the microphone is really close to the speaker the gain has to be low or else the speaker will make that really loud screeching sound.  So yea that is all I learned for this week so far.

I went to church this past Wednesday and I learned how to operate on the different channels of the sound board and how to adjust the performers' headphones if they need the music louder or turned down. Its funny how I was writing this blog when u asked me about it so I really just told u the same thing twice lol.

Blog for 1/12 - 1/18

I went to church this pass Wednesday and I learned a decent amount of stuff on the sound board for the first time. I learned how to connect the computer to it and turn the volume up or down by using the soundboard. Not that exciting but I want to learn things one by one because I can remember things better that way instead of cramming my brain with all of it at once.

Blog for 1/6 - 1/10

This week I have talked the tech manager and he is willing to teach me how to work the sound board! I'm really looking forward to it.
