There are several EQ tips that you can use to get better sound at church.

Most of them involve things like using a high pass filter, notching filters to get rid of feedback, and cutting frequencies instead of boosting them. (How many times have you heard that!?)

However, there are a few specific tips that can really sweeten your sound – and they don't seem that important at first. In fact, some of them seem counterintuitive!

In this post you'll discover:

1. The one EQ filter that makes drums sound better
2. How to make the bass guitar sound great in the mix (hint: it’s not about the lows)
3. EQ tips just for backup vocals

OK, let's get to it!

Live streaming is becoming less of a technical novelty and more a requirement for many churches – something that makes a lot of sense.

Monitor Requirements for Musicians & Sound Techs
 
Needs for musicians and vocalists will vary slightly from those using in-ear monitors for live sound mixing (like the monitor mix engineer).
 
Musicians and sound techs alike will benefit from a good fit and accurate sound reproduction, but an audio engineer will likely want extra noise isolation for more defined monitoring. And musicians may prefer more or less stage noise bleed through their monitors.
