What separates a good mix from a great mix? And what does it take to deliver a consistent front-of-house experience night after night on one of Christian music's biggest tours?

In this episode of The Tech Arts Podcast, we go behind the scenes with Daniel Ellis, Front of House Engineer for We The Kingdom, as we step into his world at a live tour stop. Daniel shares his approach to mixing FOH, why vocals remain the most important element in the mix, how he balances simplicity with technology, and the practical techniques he uses to keep a show sounding great whether he's mixing in a church, theater, arena, or stadium.
