Re: Recording Services
Digging,
If you have had a problem with distsortion when recording to CD's you might want to consider that when you are recording a digital signal the signal has to be a lot less than when recording analog. You may have been used to having a VU meter at + dbs but with digital you probably need to be around minus 10-12 db's to avoid distortion.
One of the things every preachers mic needs that doesn't cost a lot but many smaller churches do not have is a compressor on that channel. Even better a compressor, limiter, and gate. A compressor can be had for $100-$100 bucks and a compressor / gate for not much more. It will keep the level more equal and smooth out the contrast between when a preacher is speaking quietly and then screaming as many Pentecostal ones do. It will also limit him from distorting as badly when he is loud.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
