MattSound / Services / CH 05 · Church Consulting

Audio that serves the room and the message.

System audits, signal-flow documentation, operator training, and workflow rebuilds. The goal isn't a more impressive rig — it's a Sunday morning where the audio disappears into the service.

A — Scope

Everything that touches Sunday's signal chain.

Most churches don't need a new console. They need documented workflow, operators who know why the settings are what they are, and a system that behaves the same way every week.

  • System AuditWalk the room, audit the patch, analyze the tuning, and review the current mix process.
  • Signal Flow DocumentationPatch sheets, I/O maps, routing diagrams — documented so any operator can pick up the system.
  • Show File ConstructionConsole template built for your inputs, band, and service structure. VCA/DCA routing, snapshots, FX.
  • Operator TrainingHands-on training for your volunteer and staff mixers. Not a lecture — real service rehearsals.
  • Workflow RebuildPre-service, during-service, and post-service procedures. Checklists, handoff practices, backup plans.
  • Broadcast IntegrationIndependent broadcast mix workflow, loudness targets, and stream delivery setup.
B — Engagement types

From a one-hour review to a full rebuild.

Start small if you're not sure what you need. Most engagements begin with a remote audit — an hour of screen-share covering your show file, room, and workflow — and grow from there based on what's actually broken.

TYPE 01

Remote Audit

One-hour screen share reviewing your show file, routing, and workflow. Documented follow-up with findings and priorities. Fixed fee.

TYPE 02

On-Site Assessment

Day on-site: room audit, system tuning review, operator observation during service. Written report with recommendations. DFW region direct travel.

TYPE 03

Multi-Week Rebuild

Show file construction, documentation, operator training, and service shadowing across several weeks. Scoped per-project.

TYPE 04

Ongoing Retainer

Monthly retainer for ongoing support — your audio team has someone on call for troubleshooting, new-element integration, and continued training.

C — What you walk away with

Documents, templates, and trained operators.

The difference between consulting that sticks and consulting that evaporates is documentation. Every engagement ships with artifacts you can hand to the next operator, the next week, the next year.

  • Patch & Routing DocsPDF reference showing every input, every routing path, every output.
  • Console Show FileLoaded, tested, and saved to your drive with notes on what each snapshot does.
  • Pre-Service ChecklistLaminated, in the booth. What to check, in what order, before sound check starts.
  • Operator Training VideoWalkthrough recording of your specific system so new volunteers can self-onboard.
