Rounded Rectangle: The Lie
More technology is not the solution. In fact, there are many ad campaigns that sell the concept that digital simplifies. While that myth can be substantiated in many instances, it is by no measure a hard rule. Can digital help, enable, provide new and different tools? Absolutely. Will it make an untrained sound engineer able to make sound like a trained sound engineer? Not even close. That is comparable to upgrading computers for someone who has no concept of how to run even a basic model. We install and train on both Digital and Analog platforms.  
Both digital and analog have their place in the church, and both will be around for many, many years to come. When making a decision on buying a console be absolutely sure to contact other churches with experience on the console you are buying and compare their results and the experience of Text Box: The source of our training is just as important as the quality of the training. Consider hiring a professional speaker to preach on Sunday mornings simply because of his great voice and speaking skills. Forget the fact that he is not of your faith and is not qualified to teach from the word of God. Would you still hire him to Pastor your church? We feel it is important that a Worship Leader and fellow believer teach audio concepts in church so that the role and mission of the church is emphasized and that the subjects covered actually harmonize with the mission. It's really not about the gear, or how much you or I know. It's about transparency and accomplishing a mission. About serving those who take the stage to serve the flock. We in the A/V Ministries are servers to the servants.
