Talkback

• This refers to any microphone used to communicate exclusively to production or in the in-ears of the worship team. It never goes to the house mix. The music director communications all direction through the talkback mic. Often times we’ll have additional talkback mics on the platform for use by drummers, the front of house engineer or backstage.

Set / Setlist

• This refers to any and all songs we are playing in any given service.

Response Time

Welcome Beat / Host Segment

• This is the part of the service where the band plays an instrumental progression behind the host who is typically giving announcements and leading our congregation in tithes & offerings.
