How to Record Church Worship

In church, worship is most often led in front of the sanctuary. Most churches, both big and small, use a portable sound system which is controlled by a mixing board. Mixing console boards take audio from multiple sound-producing sources, allow you to change the levels and characteristics of a sound and then mixes them down to one output sound. Whether you are recording a sermon or worship songs, they can all be done with any recording device.
