[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 133594, member: 67"] Re: New to the Soundcraft Expression 3 My personal take is that it's the sound person's job to turn down or mute inputs that aren't in use. Will gates work? Sort of, but if your pianist is doing underscore music while speaking is going on (offering appeal, testimony, etc) it's possible that the gate threshold will sufficiently high that the piano will be "choppy" as the gate opens a closes. For this task I'd really just use the piano channel(s) fader or on/off switch. It seems like the piano is VERY hot if you have to turn it down when not is use. We can explore that later... As for compression of the pastor's mic, the answer is yes. Mind you, if he hears it and doesn't like it (been there, done that) you'll end up removing it unless you can convince him that his "noise" is not "joyful". As for effects, if you are streaming or recording the services I'd use a touch of reverb on singers and some of the instruments. You don't need a lot, just enough to tell you've got it dialed in (use headphones to set the blend, if you do it "in the room" you'll have waaaaay too much). Corner stages suck, but you've already learned that.... [/QUOTE]
