Thump

Spent a good portion of the day/evening tinkering with the new Mackie 18" subwoofer at the church. I think it sounds phenomenal. This evening, Stacey, J-mo, Eric, and I went up there to see what we though of it... All of us agreed that even at mid-volume levels, the sound from something as simple as a CD playing even sounded much clearer. "The muddiness is gone!" Eric said. It was also amazing to feel the thump of the kick pedal in the room. Not deafening. Not muddy. You could just feel it.

Woohoo! There's something so powerful about music when you can feel it. That sensation and the newfound clarity will hopefully translate into a much better musical experience on Sunday mornings.

We've got a pretty powerful set of songs for Sunday morning, so arrival of the sub is quite timely. The youth are participating in a D-now weekend, and the bulk of the service is dedicated to their experience. Consequently, I picked songs I thought would be applicable to that theme. Now that there will actually be low frequencies driving the song, I'm more pumped about it than ever.

Ahh...anticipation.
