I have been listening to the new Crowder Album ALOT recently. It’s one of my favorite albums this year so far. I knew at first listen that people would either love or hate it. One of the reasons people may not like it, is because it is heavily programmed. My next thought was, “Why are people afraid of Electronic music and why has church friendly music been confined to Chris Tomlin, Phil Wickham and Hillsong’s musical taste? Why must Worship Music sound like a certain thing to become acceptable? I remember when no one did “My Glorious” until Chris Tomlin did it, and then it suddenly became a Worship Song. So in that train of thought I began to think about Dance music and what Worship Music could learn from Dance music. This isn’t a critique of worship music for the sake of being critical but a look at a few things worship music could adapt and learn from Dance Music. Enjoy!

Even as I write this I am cringing. At the very least 30% of all the questions I get about using loops are “Can I use loops without In-Ears?” Whenever anyone talks about what it takes to use loops they mention the absolute need for in-ears. The problem with this is that there are tons of worship leaders that really want to start using loops but don’t have the budget to buy in-ears. They’ve got a mac and garageband but no In-ears. So can they use loops? Again the safest and easiest answer to the questions is no, you can’t use loops without in-ears but the question needs to be fully answered. Yes you can use loops with out in-ears ( I cringe…) but keep in mind Attempt at your own risk!
