![]() ![]() Does our team need more than a single group channel, ruling out simple options like a group voice call?.Does our production team need to be spread throughout different physical spaces, where our vocal cords aren’t an option?. ![]() Here are some questions we started asking ourselves: Like everything else you do in production, take time to evaluate your needs before you jump into implementation. Clear-Com or similar professional party line systems.Mumble, or something similar (maybe Teamspeak, but I couldn’t make it work for us).Group text, or group voice call (Facebook Messenger, FaceTime, Zoom, etc.).Talking/shouting (perfectly acceptable in many scenarios!).In order from worst (and least expensive, and easiest to set up) to best (and most expensive, and most complicated to set up), I think your options are something like this (in all seriousness): Mumble is far from the best production communications system, but it’s also definitely not the worst for many scenarios. Why Mumble?īefore you keep reading and get into the technical details of setting up Mumble, make sure you take the time to evaluate your options. Good communication is key to a successful production anywhere, and with many small churches (including mine) launching or growing their live video production for streaming, I thought I’d share my own experience and the success (such as it may be) we’ve had using a great free program called Mumble to drive our audio, video, lighting, and camera directing comms for Sunday mornings. You can no longer lean over and chat with the audio guy, or yell over the music to lighting operator to make sure he hits that main preach front lighting cue. As soon as your church production crew grows beyond the bounds of a single booth, communication becomes a challenge. ![]()
