So, running sound.
........
my thoughts exactly.
This was our topic last Thursday, making sure we know how to plug everything in, turn everything on, EQ things.....and then un-EQ things, turn everything off, and unplug. Right. Got it.
Can I just say, that the thing I am probably worst at, ever, in all of time, is knowing what everything is called and how everything works in the sound world. The soundboard looks like Chinese Checkers on crack and then, all those little knobs have names. Those names mean things that are very important....and if I knew what they all meant, maybe I'd find them important too :) I have deep respect for the people that know all the in's and out's of running sound, because the Lord knows how much feedback we'd all be experiencing if I ran sound for a day :)
All I can say that I learned is this:
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." ~ 2 Corinthians 12:9

ReplyDeleteAnd just as a sound system needs power to work, to make noise, and do what it was intended to do, we also need Gods power for us to do the things we were intended to do. When a sound system has no power it is weak and can't do anything, but once power is shot into it, then it comes alive. God's power is made perfect in our weakness. Maybe I thought too much, but it makes sense in my head.. Thanks for sharing that verse Laramie!
ReplyDeleteI can offer this encouragement...
ReplyDeleteIn order to truly say that you can never possess competency in this skill, you must fully believe that your current knowledge of sound reinforcement is thorough enough to claim that nobody could teach you. Right now you simply don't know enough about it to rationally assert that you could never figure it out.
This is just like the music theory concepts that drove us insane when we learned them fresh, yet now we toss them around with nothing more than a shorthand reference and nobody feels lost in the discourse.
