Worship Tech Tour - Deer Creek Church

For this second episode of Worship Tech Tour, Jake and I visit Deer Creek Church to take a look at their pretty incredible tech setup. As a midsized church, it is pretty incredible to see how much tech they have implemented, with Dante, Live streaming, Ableton, and more. Deer Creek is no mega church - so you may rethink what is possible for a church with only a mid-sized congregation and two services.

A solid video but here are a few quick fact checks:
* Allen&Heath ME-1 personal mixers are 40 channel not 48
* The SQ mixers are fantastic but you do need a separate $800 IO card to enable Dante for each mixer
* The Black Magic switch (ATEM Television Studio HD) cannot record. They have a HyperDeck Studio Mini Ultra HD recorder sharing the same rack space to do the recording to SD cards

Yoo.. this is the best video series as it helps many of us worship leaders in a vast amount of knowledge. I am always eagerly waiting for another episode.

[Reyfox]

Interesting for sure. Way above (in price and usage) what we need here in Poland. But it shows me what is out there and how others are handling sound and video.

Thanks for sharing.

Good information and a nice setup. The SQ consoles are excellent - glad to see them using them. If others are in the market, consider the SQ line!

Great video man. Thank you for providing value to the church worship ministry!

Great stuff Jake, thank you for taking the initiative to be a resource for so many of us and exposing us to other churches and how they operate. Kudos!

[hudson_]

We need more of these churches in the UK and England!

[frankkimathi]

Many lessons from this series. Thank you guys

[MYGOChurch]

Hey guys, great video! We have some similar setups at our place and you did a great job explaining all of the techy stuff in an engaging way. Keep up the good work. What you're doing is invaluable for smaller churches.

[NichWoodruff]

I would love to see more conversation about the livestream setup.

Jake, btw, audinate has a series of videos that train you on Dante. It’s super easy to just sit through and learn. Check it out!

That church has a better sound system than most clubs I know 😂

[wilrobbins]

Aaron was taking about having to use a bunch of DI boxes with his old interface to get to XLR. Most audio Interfaces have balanced 1/4” connections (TRS). A simple TRS to XLR adapter/snake would have worked. The only real benefit of going unbalanced 1/4” (TS) to a DI box to XLR is having access to a ground lift on the DI box, if you have ground issues. Just thought it was interesting he was trying to use a bunch of DIs. Also this might have contributed to the sucky sound quality. Hope this information helps someone. Fantastic video by the way!

Dudes...this video series is the best. Thank you. Keep up the great work!

Amazing series, learned so much from this video alone. We are exactly at that point in our church (in Europe, Switzerland :D) where we want to start streaming etc. So this is a perfect point of reference for us.

[tonyarky]

watching these kind of videos makes me want to be a . . . . i dont know the word haha but I feel like I want to be a . . the one who do stuffs like these. set up the stage, the audio like that.
thank you for these series

[cmdcreativity]

I'm really loving this series - great job! 🙌🏻 If you are ever in Southern California you should definitely check out Friends Church in Yorba Linda! I can give you some contacts if this would ever be a possibility. Thanks! 😁

[phileoness]

Super helpful! I’m looking at nearly the exact same audio and live stream setup. It was nice to see how it might look
