This annual event is held in a hotel conference room in Orlando, Florida. There is a good deal of music with the COG conventions. There is typically a full band, 6 praise team mikes plus a solo mike, a wireless mike for the podium and a couple of other mikes for vocals. The sermons need to be recorded to CD for copying and sale usually when the service is over.

I had set up a starter mix session with the inputs that I expected to need and the necessary in/out assignments. I had done some general presets as far as monitor levels that I expected to  be requested. Set-up and the whole outing went a lot more smoothly than the first gig. I had set a second set of outputs for my record output and done the channel assignments so that I was ready to record. I also had taken a small Yahama mixer to handle the input/output interface with the CD recorder. Everything worked pretty much as planned and the event went without a hitch.

I will be putting up a gallery that will include a couple of pictures of the setup at the convention as well as some other gigs.
