201 Audio Mixing

Description

Waves' LV-1 Classic console brings the power and flexibility of the LV-1 system into an all-in-one mixer format. This description covers the basics of setting up a mix session, including custom layer creation, input channel organization, and working with a worship band's tracks. It explores mixing techniques applicable to both live and streamed church services, focusing on drums, vocals, and overall mix structure.

Setting Up Your LV-1 Classic Session

The LV-1 Classic allows for easy creation of custom layers, helping you organize your mix efficiently. For this session, inputs are arranged across multiple custom fader layers:
  • Layer 1: Drums and bass
  • Layer 2: Keys, tracks, and guitars
  • Layer 3: Vocals and vocal effects
  • Layer 4: DCAs
  • Layer 5: Groups, effects, and quick-access controls

This layout provides quick access to essential controls during live mixing, streamlining your workflow whether you're in a physical venue or managing a livestream.

Working with Worship Band Tracks

Using tracks from Red Rocks Worship, this session demonstrates mixing techniques for a typical worship band setup. With about 36 inputs, including some stereo channels, it's a manageable yet comprehensive example of a church production scenario. The mix focuses on balancing various elements to create a cohesive sound that translates well both in-room and over a stream.

Mixing Drums and Building Your Sound

The description dives into drum mixing as a starting point. This approach helps establish the foundation of your mix, setting the stage for other instruments and vocals. By focusing on drums first, you can create a solid rhythmic base that supports the rest of the worship team, ensuring a powerful and engaging sound for both live and online audiences.
