I Mixed a Church's Worship Set in 50 Minutes (Before & After)

Full, unedited-style mix-through of a real church worship set (New Hope Church, Eunice, Louisiana) recorded on an Allen & Heath dLive over a 96kHz Dante network. Drums to vocals, left to right, with a brand-new vocal chain I now start from scratch every time. Stick around for the before/after at the end. First video with the new Shure SM4 — only a light compressor and gain on the mic, no EQ.
