This Sunday was yet again another gentle reminder.. Leave your Emotions at the Door when your troubleshooting a technical issue. This is something we’ve hit before specifically here and here. Most of the time when working with Computers if something goes wrong its User Error. You hit the wrong button, or assigned the wrong task to the wrong button, or opened the wrong file, etc…It’s important when things do go wrong and your trying to figure them out, that you calm down and think logically. Train yourself to not freak out when something goes wrong. Slowly examine whats taking place. Am I hitting the right button? Do I have the correct file open? Is everything plugged in? Is this Cable bad? Does my DI need batteries or Phantom Power?
And hey.. If something does go wrong or a Loop cuts off too early or too late, is it really that big of a deal? Sure we should strive for Excellence in ALL things, so yes you should figure out why that happened and try to fix it so it doesn’t happen again. But I’m pretty sure that God is big and powerful enough that even if Live accidentally shuts down and we lose click and loops for the first service that He CAN still change Lives. Don’t lose sight of that!
