A First Of Hopefully Many - Interview with Filmmaker Lionell A. Hilliard II

A First Of Hopefully Many - Interview with Filmmaker Lionell A. Hilliard II

Man, it took forever to nail this interview down! We both have hectic schedules, but after numerous tries we were able to sit down and have a great chat. My usual episodes rarely last more than 20 minutes. I kept trying to cut this one short to save the rest for future talks, yet this conversation lasted over 2 hours! This is a must listen for anyone thinking about getting into the business of making art for the big and small screen. Lionell's credits include: The Arsenio Hall Show (First Run,) Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, Sister Sister, and many many more! Ladies, Gentlemen, and non-conforming individuals, may I introduce to some and present to others, Lionell A. Hilliard II!

Episode 14 - DANTE implementation first thoughts

Episode 14 - DANTE implementation first thoughts

Man, 2 Sundays ago was a trip! We were very undermanned to the point that in between the normal 4 songs we do, I unplugged my mic from the stage box and tapped it at the mixer! I then used a headphone extension cable to get around easy while I was triggering music slides, Tithe and Offering slides, as well as the scriptures for the Pastor preaching that morning! It was a trip, but it was made so much easier by us implementing DANTE and having an automated livestream mix via Logic Pro! Between that and some automations I have for in-house, I was able to trigger slides and know that audio was good to go. Teasing a great interview for the upcoming episode!!!

Episode 9: Quick Cut of a live service using Loop Community Prime App

Episode 9: Quick Cut of a live service using Loop Community Prime App

I had to run service all by myself, so I decided to use Loop Community's Stems to make sure everyone was on the same track. It worked so well, I plan to create my own stems for future services. Unfortunately, this particular Sunday, I was only able to capture about 8 min of the total service, but I will put that up for you guys for your enjoyment.
