Re: PA System
Which things are the inputs?, (so many things are plugged into others it's hard to tell which inputs you mean, sorry).
At least the PA vindicated me some. When mom and I started playing together, her on organ and me on piano, I couldn't hear anything out the left monitor for the piano, so I barely could be with her as in staying with her in time. Then Susan and I did the praise songs, and at first all I could hear was her voice out the mike. Then all of a sudden, the monitor crackled and then the keyboard BLASTED really loudly out of the monitor. I don't know what it did with the left speaker, as I'm behind it, but it got really loud!
Then mom came across the stage while I was still playing with Susan, (and told me that she had no organ. The organ had just quit. This sounded similar to last week (when I wasn't there), when Susan's keyboard just quit and then restarted. Sure enough, Mom tried to play the organ and had almost no sound (organ's external speaker I guess was helping). Russ, the preacher ran back and turned up sound, and we could hear the organ a little. Then there was more crackling and all of a sudden the organ blasted the congregation with sound. Bizzarrre. Susan (who was done playing), raced back to the board and turned mom's organ down. It was so weird.
Then when Russ started preaching, I was sitting at the board writing stuff down that I had scribbled all over the directions taped to the board table. And then all of a sudden, there was this weird pop sound that made me jump up, then a distinct humming that got louder and ended in crackle. Susan flew back to the board, and I told her I didn't touch ANYTHING (because she was still upset about my panic attack reaction earlier), and she said, "I believe you... which one is mike 1" and I showed her and she adjusted it to stop the crackle.
But something is clearly wrong...I just have no clue what. :(
