How Did I Start?

Poor Speaker System CoverageI began working with sound systems at the age of eight or nine. Mom sang in the church choir. At one of her rehearsals, a technician asked if I would help him. I hesitated, but since Mom said yes, I sat in the sound booth and adjusted the balance between vocals and instruments on the recording.

Currently, I am one of the two main engineers at our church. Among other things, I've had the opportunity to develop a major sound system replacement proposal. The biggest production I've handled was the 2002 Christmas cantata, complete with a small live drama and several videotaped drama segments.

Nice Tool—Frequency Recognition Ear Training

I found out about this handy little free download from an audio newsgroup. It looks like a 1/3 octave graphic equalizer on your screen. The program plays a tone and you are to click on the slider which corresponds with the frequency being played. More Information on Simple Feedback Trainer (SFT)
