1. Keynote speaker Tony Hooper: “Capturing “The God” Sound” – Auditorium

When a group of people in one room are in perfect unity and all hearts are focused on singing and worshiping Jesus, the volume goes up considerably. For those who have been privileged to hear or capture it, it’s a sound like no other. Now, it’s not just about the volume. There’s something interesting about the sound of unity. It sounds and feels as if God suddenly enters the room and inhabits it.  One might describe it as, “The hair on my body stood up,” another might say, “I felt so heavy, like I couldn’t stand up,” and still another, “Did you hear that sound? It’s like the angels were singing.” It’s rare air and impossible to fabricate.  In pursuit of this, many churches and record companies have tracked a record with professional musicians and added audience noise etc. but those recordings as well done as they are, don’t have, “The God” sound. In this session, let’s explore both the logistics and intangibles that will help us capture “The God” sound in our worship.

2. Sound Reinforcement with Sean Shallenberger of Electro-Voice – Upstairs

1:45PM                 Vendor Visit

1. Mixing Audio with Mike Smith of Goldsmith – Auditorium

2. Keynote speaker Tony Hooper: “All Aboard To The Throne Room” – Upstairs

Everyone wants to get to the next level, but most aren’t willing to pay the price. Not as if you could buy it in the first place, but for musicians, tech people, and the singers, you can have the best gear in the world but not sound inviting to a congregation on Sunday Morning. The skill combined with the technology will produce a better sounding worship service for sure, but still there’s a level of dedication required to take a congregation into “The Throne Room.” God will use whoever and whatever He chooses when He chooses, but there will be many hours of personal and group rehearsing and preparing for thereto be a truly professional quality. Now, imagine combining professional quality with individual lives that are equally sold out to God and offer their best spiritual worship each and every service and then you get a sound can’t be defined or replicated by others.
