How our two synchronized worship bands work

[jonvideo]

Interesting. Nice work.- I am wondering what is the advantage of synchronizing them? Is it to avoid bleed over in to the other worship room if the music is off by a minute or so? What problem does this solve? If one pianist or vocalist doesn't show up on a Sunday, can you pipe the others playing/singing to the other band? Have you ever done that?

@jonvideo Thanks for the questions as to why it is synchronized.

Our problem with the two locations (a second room directly below our main auditorium), the sound and vibration of music bleeding through the floor/ceiling gives us issues. The only way for the sound not to give problems is to play simultaneously with the same harmonic structure happening.  We didnt have another room option with enough seating.

@bryankeithnelson Forgot to mention, yes...we reguarly have musicians play at two places at once by piping them down. For example, if a player gets sick after a rehearsal — or if there's a special add-on instrument.
