What's inside
Gain Staging. What gain does, reading your meters, setting gain step by step, faders and headroom, and the common mistakes.
EQ Without Fear. The frequency map, the EQ controls on your desk, the high-pass filter, cutting before you boost, finding a problem frequency and making space in the mix.
Dynamics & Effects. What a compressor does and how to set one, gates, reverb and delay, and effects that serve worship.
Printable cheat sheets. A frequency reference, and EQ, compression and gate starting points for every common source.
Each chapter ends with a "This Sunday" checklist. The chapters keep their numbers from the full guide, so it's easy to carry on when you're ready.
Kind words
“Before, our sound was very basic and under-tuned. Rikus helped us with things like proper EQ levels and gain settings. It's small changes, but it makes a big difference to the overall sound quality, especially for our in-ear setup.”
Ready for the whole Sunday?
Sanctuary Mix Essentials covers three chapters. The full guide covers fourteen, with 31 printables for the desk and a planning spreadsheet for your team.
Questions
What do I get?
Sanctuary Mix Essentials as an A4 PDF: three chapters and the cheat sheets. The pages print well on A4 or US Letter paper (choose "fit to page" when printing on Letter).
Will it work for our desk?
Yes. It teaches what every desk does and where to find it, so it works whether you mix on a large digital console, a small digital mixer or an analogue desk.
Can I share it with my team?
Sanctuary Mix Essentials is licensed to one person. Print the cheat sheets as often as your church needs for its own services. For the whole team, the Sanctuary Mix team licence covers everyone who serves in one local church.
How do I get it?
Your download link arrives by email straight after payment. It works for 7 days, and you can ask for a fresh one any time on the thank-you page.
Can we pay from outside South Africa?
Yes. Checkout is with PayFast, which takes Visa and Mastercard from anywhere. Prices are set in rand, and PayFast shows the amount in US dollars, euros, pounds or Australian dollars before you pay, so the dollar prices on this page are approximate, and your bank may add a foreign-transaction fee. South African buyers can also pay by instant EFT and other local methods.
