In this insightful episode of The Church Sound Podcast, we explore the spiritual and technical impact of a small but powerful tool: the PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) button. Guided by the thought-provoking question, “Are you mixing by faith… or by taste?”, we examine how intentional listening can elevate both your mix and your ministry. The PFL button isn’t just a function—it’s your tasting spoon, allowing you to isolate and examine each sound source before it becomes part of the whole experience.
As churches continue to train volunteers and build strong audio teams, understanding tools like PFL becomes essential. This episode walks through five deeply practical and philosophical perspectives on how PFL helps engineers build trust in what they hear, shape clean and clear mixes, and respond confidently in live worship environments. By learning how to hear before you mix, you move from reacting to leading—from guessing to guiding.
This conversation challenges you to think differently about your role, your training process, and your stewardship of sound. Whether you're a ministry veteran or a newly appointed volunteer, this episode will stretch your perspective and sharpen your approach. Mixing sound in church is more than a task—it’s an offering. Let’s make it intentional.
