Dave, do the pastors actually move the stand? They aren't supposed to do that. They can raise and lower it, but they shouldn't be picking it up and moving it.

As far as closeness goes, I'd make sure to pull out enough so that the mic is only about 1/5 the width of the screen. Then adjust from there.

The one thing that is hardest to judge is where the pastor is going to move the mic for the prophecy. It might help if the pastors are told to keep the stand in the same spot and just raise and lower the mic. It's also hard to judge the framing of a head and shoulders shot when you only have the mic as a reference, not to mention that people come in different sizes.

Andy, we definitely had some issues with both headset mics while we adjusted back from "youth drama mode" to Sunday's normal sound. Unfortunately, the headset mics will never sound as full as the handheld, but I think they definitely did improve as the morning went on. It wasn't just your ears.

Dave, I had noticed that it seemed like Braden and Mark's voices through the headset mics were a bit "tinny" compared to, say Josh's voice when Josh used the handheld. To my untrained ear, it sounded like the highs were too prominent.

But by the end of the sermon, either I had gotten used to it, or Mark's voice was EQed better and sounded "fuller."

Could just be me :P

Dave,
Thanks for running this blog. I was just listening to a teaching you did at one of the Worship Conferences and heard you mention this site. This is super helpful to me and I look forward to being able to pass things on to our sound team. I also look forward to learning from you at WorshipGod this year!

Tyler, I'd only wait if you are confident it's in the process of happening. I wouldn't want you to wait very long. If the camera director says he's ready, that's your green light to put it up.

Dave,
Just to double check, about the camera 4 shot of the ministry mic, where only the person's head was in the frame, as the House Director should I wait until the shot is correctly framed to take it live next time?

I thought the day went amazingly smoothly.

I think I saw the shading change on a shot on the screen at least once, that was about it for glitches.
