1. Aqua has obviously stopped going to Mass on a regular basis or is still attending an extremely conservative service. The Catholics in the US are generally as down with praise music as the evangelicals, you just won’t hear their pieces on the radio…

LD has obviously not ever set foot in a baptist or evangelical church if he thinks Catholics are "generally as down with praise music."

You are aware that I was the praise leader for a Baptist Church until October 2020?

I also spend 2 weeks every four years presenting and demonstrating at the Catholic “National Pastoral Musicians Conference” and I have established a group of Pastoral Musicians and Worship Leaders that meet quarterly to discuss challenges and solutions that they have in their particular parishes or churches? I also work closely with the DC Diocese music leaders.

I might express opinions on matters that I only have a passing knowledge of, but this isn’t one of them…

Then hey, maybe speaking for others is kind of a dick move! I'm not an "every Sunday" kind of churchgoer, but you name a Catholic church in the DC area, chances are very high I've been there due to my uncle.

Zero percent of them ever featured a drummer or guitarist on a stage. Precisely zero. That's not to say it's the same the world over, but there's still a significant difference in music between Catholic and some Protestant churches.

Yeah, but at least y'all got purty churches....

Drum kits? No, but there are ways around that, and pastoral musicians have been working their way around that obstacle.

Neat. That's still not at all the norm like you were suggesting.

Guitars were huge in Catholic services, especially back in the days of the hippies.

More than passing knowledge, we were still using Latin when I was an altar boy.

2. Most music ministers have no idea why they are using a click track, they are generally just doing it because the bigger churches are… And members of the band complain about not being able to hear each other… They can help some musicians in that regard, but that’s not really why they are being used at the bigger churches. At a bigger church it can be one of two reasons. 1) STEM Tracks. 2) Video synchronization…

STEM sucks. Don't care for canned anything in a live performance.

WTF is a click? A metronome for the ear?

To quote my son the drummer, I don't need no steenkin' click. I am the click!

What is “the click”?

The “click” is a digital metronome that musicians listen to while recording to ensure their rhythm is exactly in time with the tempo. A simple and now nearly ubiquitous part of the recording process, it has had a profound effect on the music we listen to.

He ain't too shabby...If he wanted, he could be a first-call guy in Austin.

Amazingly enough, I've got a five year-old granddaughter that can keep time better than most adult musicians. I don't think she'll be a pianist, although she's been taking lessons since she was four, but I think she has her mother's ear.

My daughter has ears like a bat.

True story...She was home from college one Christmas and walked through the family room munching a sandwich. I was watching a Boston Pops Christmas concert on the tv. Never slowing her stride, she said between bites, "The second clarinet is flat", as she walked out of the room. The wife and I looked at each other, and I turned the volume up.

I'll be durned. She was right...

That's rad. My family pretty much doesn't do music. My parents, anyway. My uncle's always been decent with a piano. I can keep from embarrassing myself on a guitar these days but that's it.

[Jolly]

Oh, I've lost what little bit I had. Can't hardly play a radio without static. Wife plays piano and autoharp (can pick one a bit), son primarily is a drummer, but can play bass, guitar and a bit of piano. Daughter is a flutist and plays guitar and piano.

Nephew will be here Saturday. He plays primarily a steel guitar, but also plays dobro, flattop guitar, jazz guitar, banjo and mandolin.

The musical talent in the family comes from my wife's daddy's side. Some are so-so, some are decent and a few are good. Probably a half-dozen of them have worked in Nashville over the years, from houseband stuff to sidemen with acts like James Monroe, Loretta Lynn and the Dixie Chicks.

Funny how that stuff runs in families...

Thanks 89. You saved me from asking the same question. LOL

It doesn't have much effect on the music I listen to. I'm pretty sure Miles Davis didn't use one when he recorded Kind of Blue.

Fucking computers.

If they truly did that, I'd be there every Sunday. But it'd have to be with Gladys.
