• On the VSC computer, open LiveTrax
• Please refer to the  ⁠⁠Virtual Soundcheck User Guide⁠  with any questions
• Next, open Dante Controller and minimize the application but leave it running
• Dante Controller keeps a log of errors, which is helpful to refer back to if encountering an issue
• Also, if enabled at your campus, open ProdCom
• This is a live transcription of any chatter on the WL and MD talkback mics, which is helpful for communication between FOH and stage
• Everything should already be patched, so opening the app is all you have to do

• Check Announcement and Pastor mics
• If the Pastor Headset mic is being used, make sure it is placed properly near the mouth
• Watch this  MxU Headset Mic Placement  video for a visual guide on proper placement

• Test input to ensure you're receiving signal from GFX and RESI channels
• GFX will be fired by your graphics operator, and RESI will be fired by your PM

Rehearsal and Run-Through

• On your phone load Planning Center Online app (PCO)
• For your personal workflow preference; if you would like to change the channel names of Vox 1-4 to the names of the vocalists leading worship you may do so. Coordinate with your campus Worship Director for where this information is stored in PCO



Examples of different channel naming schemes
