Whose got the map?

December 8, 2007

Just wanted to update my 1 blog reader (thanks Maxdaddy!) on the general direction I plan on taking this blog. As previously mentioned, it’s my goal to put together a booklet that I can give to volunteers (and distribute nationally) to help train those who want to start volunteering with the production team at their church or ministry. My recent post on GAIN is a perfect example of this. But I want to stress that the posts in no way reflect what order the final chapters will be published. This is particularly noticeable since I anticipate my next posting will be something along the lines of an introduction to the mixing console, which really ought to come first in a booklet before going into the details on one of the knobs of said console.

So my next posts will likely be:

  • Introduction to the mixing console
  • Things a person should know about being the sound guy
  • A look at faders (channels and master output controls)
  • Or something entirely different. It all depends on what I feel like writing when I dedicate the time to start writing.

I just had an idea…for those of you just tuning in, I’ll make a new “Table of Contents” page with links to the individual postings in the order they ought to be read instead of the order written.

Your feedback is always welcome, did I forget anything on the Gain topic? Has this already been done before and I’m just wasting my time? Should I quit writing and stick with what I’m good at? Is this truly helpful and you can’t wait for the next installment? Inquiring mind wants to know.
