Frequently Asked Questions

Why don't you just train Churches?
Helping Churches is more than just training to me. It's a ministry born out of the love I have for my wife, Liz, and my desire to see her dream fulfilled. I also train individuals and businesses, which helps me continue offering Churches completely free training. Most importantly, it gives me an opportunity to share the love of Christ, not by preaching, but by letting my actions speak louder than words.
Is your training for Churches really 100% free?
Yes! All online training for Churches is 100% free in loving memory of my wife, Liz. There are no fees or hidden charges. For in-person training requiring travel beyond a 50-mile radius, Churches are responsible only for my travel expenses, never the training itself. Expenses include mileage at $0.76 per mile, any tolls, $30 for meals during travel, and hotel accommodations for trips exceeding 500 miles. Once I arrive, lodging and meal expenses can be waived if someone from your congregation provides room and board.
Is your Church training any different then your paid training?
No! Churches receive the exact same professional training as my paying clients, but Churches pay absolutely nothing.
What mixers do you provide training for?
I specialize in Behringer X32, Midas M32, and Behringer WING digital mixers. I also provide training on analog mixing consoles.
Do I need experience operating a sound system?
Absolutely not! Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced engineer, I'll work with you at your current skill level.
Can you help improve our Church's livestream audio?
Absolutely! I can help you understand routing, EQ, compression, and mixing techniques to improve the sound your online audience hears.
Do we need to purchase new equipment before training?
Not at all! My goal is to help you get the best possible sound from the equipment you already own.
Can multiple volunteers participate in training?
Absolutely! In fact, I encourage everyone involved with your Church's sound system or Band to join the same Zoom call. This allows everyone to learn together, ask questions, and work as a team.
What software do I need for online training?
You'll need Zoom and the appropriate mixer editing software installed on your computer. If you don't know what you need, please contact me and I will guide you through it.
Do you offer private one-on-one training?
Yes! I offer personalized Zoom training focused on your experience, equipment, questions, and specific audio challenges.
How much does professional training cost?
A one-hour recorded Zoom consultation is $100. My comprehensive X32/M32 and WING Digital Mixing Course is $400.
Are your Zoom training sessions recorded?
Yes! Your private training sessions are recorded so you can review everything we covered whenever you need a refresher.
What payment methods do you accept?
I currently accept Zelle as my only payment method for professional training and consultations.
What is Mixing on Mondays?
It's a free, live Zoom meeting held on the first and third Monday of each month at 7 PM Eastern, where we discuss digital mixing and answer your questions.
Do you really offer free Gospel music recording?
Yes, provided you have your own original music or you obtained the necessary permissions or licenses. I will not record copyrighted material without proper authorization.
How can I help carry on Liz's dream?
If I've trained you, I invite you to prayerfully consider helping Churches in your own community. I'll be here to support you every step of the way including sitting in on your Zoom calls. Please click here for more information on how you can get involved.
