Solomon’s Porch is a Christian church tattracting a large population of young Hong Kong families each week. With a combined attendance of 400 across three services each Sunday, it offers contemporary worship, with a band that includes acoustic guitar, keyboard, drums, bass, singers and sometimes an electric guitar.
Seeking a suitable in-ear monitoring system, Associate Pastor of Worship and Youth Nate Chung learned about the myMix personal monitoring and mixing system from a fellow church in Singapore. ‘It was really important to us to find a system where the monitor mix wouldn’t bleed into the main house speakers, so we took a recommendation from a larger church in Singapore that was already using the system and installed myMix after moving into our new building,’ he says. ‘We haven’t looked back – myMix allows us to do exactly what we want.’
For Chung, the customisability of the myMix system was a major selling point: ‘I like that the interface allows me to adjust things like tone, effects and panning for each channel,’ he explains. ‘This is extremely helpful because it makes my personal mix sound even better, plus I can make it sound exactly how I want. This feature of the system was very attractive for us.’
While a tap of the Record button captures selected audio channels in multitrack, myMix can also be placed in Play Along mode, allowing two local inputs to be mixed with recorded tracks – greatly assisting the church’s rehearsals.
‘myMix makes the worship band rehearsals easier because we don’t have to take extra time to adjust our floor monitor mix,’ Chung says. ‘This makes it run much smoother for everyone.’
With six units in use, Chung has found myMix’s functionality a key factor – especially for first-time users. Unlike other interfaces on the market, the myMix feature one single knob, making it simple for anyone to be mixing and recording without delay. ‘It is very intuitive,’ he confirms. ‘I can have first-time users up and running within minutes because it’s just that easy to operate.’
