An afternoon in GT...

It was close to 3pm (yesterday afternoon) when AndrewC asked if i was available to visit GT (Glad Tidings) to have a look at their system, since he was planning to go there to setup the room EQ for them. At first i told him that i wasnt available - that i had work to do. But work never ends anyway... and this opportunity doesnt just come. And i recalled what Silas told me earlier in the week to seize any opportunity given - be exposed & be smart! (Yeah... in case some of u dont already know, i'm like "katak di bawah tempurung" - the "katak" is me and the "tempurung" is the 4 corners of my workstation. *shy*) With this reminder, i immediately told Andrew that i could make it. It'll only be about an hour or so anyway... :)

And so... i was there with Andrew and I was then introduced to Danny who is a fulltime in GT doing sound. They did the sound check, etc, and there i was taking pictures here and there and "trying" to learn whatever i can... actually am just observing, but one thing's for sure... i love to see how neat the hall is - both behind the sound booth and on the stage. I was looking around... and telling myself... we need to get our butt working and tidy up the church and some other systems!

Well... we did some things together in the worship team... and that was a start! Thanks AndrewC for your time and efforts. Things are slowly coming together - in placed and more systematic. You can read and view some pictures here & here & here. Thanks DanLion for keeping us up-to-date in your blog. :)

Below are the pictures of GT - may it be a motivation to us as church and as crew (Yes! LRM crew - i know u guys are reading this. hehe...)

Can you see how neat their cables were labeled? That was AndrewC's pro-team's work. That's what i call quality & professionalism!
Also... no cables lying on the floor... no cables tangled here n there...
Thanks AndrewC for inviting me over... :)

machine needs man to operate...

so, no matter how advanced a machine is, a man is much more superior...

thus, SEs are VIPs...

hehe...

indeed, thank God for AndrewC

GT video control is on the same table (the middle section - where u can see a TV). If i'm not wrong, they have 3 cameras as well.

Sheela, u're right. We've improved so much compared to the earlier years of having canggih manggih system, but no human to operate... so yes, Jo, u're right about that too! :)
