Share this with a church sound tech you know who wants to make a difference!

You know that feeling when you walk into a sanctuary and you can feel the presence of God? Then the music starts and it sounds so good that you're up on your feet, hands lifted and you can't help but sing along? There's nothing like it!

Delivering a worship environment where the congregation is engaged in the service, inspired to study the Word, and excited about coming back next week is no small task.

What most people don't realize is that, behind the scenes, every experienced sound operator is on the lookout to prevent the slightest distraction – like feedback, a harsh mix, missed mic cues, hums, buzzes, or RF dropouts.

Experienced sound techs make that look easy.

But expecting the same level of excellence from someone new to the tech ministry is asking too much.

The reality is that sound techs don’t typically land on your doorstop pre-trained.

Your sound techs need to be educated – immersed – in audio basics focused on the specific topics that will equip them to serve the role you have entrusted them to with confidence and excellence.

Would You Like Our Help With That?

I'll show your team how to achieve consistent sound quality while eliminating those potential distractions so that your congregation can enter into worship more deeply.
I'll unveil to your techs – maybe for the first time ever – that their primary goal is for their audience to hear exactly what they need to hear, at the moment they need to hear it, and not know how it happened.
I'll teach your techs in record time what they MUST know to operate their sound system the right way, so you can invest more time focused on creating great worship experiences.
The course will develop an unshakeable confidence in your techs for operating the gear, and that will lead to a renewed passion and drive for the ministry.
Your team can study on their own schedule, in the comfort of their own home, office or church tech booth.

"The Church Sound Boot Camp is all about helping church techs grow in their role of communicating God's Word through the technical gifts He has given them."

The CSBC course was created by Curt Taipale, contributing author to Yamaha’s “Guide to Sound Systems for Worship”, author of “The Heart of Technical Excellence”, recording engineer for several of the early Integrity! Hosanna projects, founder of ChurchSoundcheck, and church Audio Director and Technical Director for over 15 years.

"CSBC should be the foundational training for any church sound person."

"Do it. Do it. Do it!!!"

"I attended even after 20 years in the audio industry (and as a teacher of audio basics myself) and I picked up sooooo much. Absolutely worth it."

Gordon Moore

President, Lectrosonics (retired)

"Thank you for the class."

"And for answering all my questions so patiently. And for making this platform possible. God is truly using your talents you use for His glory."

"The best platform out there..."

"The Church Sound Boot Camp is the best platform out there for a well rounded Church Audio Tech, no matter their experience level."

Confidence

The Church Sound Boot Camp is a proven, time-tested online course that can quickly transform your sound team recruits from simply being fader watchers to confident, take-charge sound operators.

After educating well over 6,262 students, I've discovered that the sound issues that most churches deal with have less to do with equipment and more to do with a need to educate and train the sound operators.

We explain things in a simple and encouraging way that removes the intimidation that some folks have about the gear and bolsters them with confidence.

Scott Singleton

Tech Volunteer

"I was 'that guy' (intimidated by the gear) before I attended CSBC."

“Now I am confident in the booth. Worth every penny my church spent to send me and then some!”

Tim & Lorrie Cook

Tech Volunteers

St Paul Lutheran Church | New Braunfels, TX

"Many thanks for the outstanding class."

“As a rookie, I received a good foundation to build on, while my wife, who is a 25-year veteran of broadcast television, got a lot of reassurance that what she is doing is correct. I look forward to future opportunities to learn.”

"I'm blown away by the sound."

“I took his course last year and it was awesome. I tried one of his miking techniques for recording acoustic guitars and I'm blown away by the sound.”

Your audio world will change in ways you can't yet imagine.

Here's a peek inside the course.

Check out these short excerpts from the class. You will find that our presentations are highly practical, filled with techniques that you can apply today in your own work, brought home by firsthand stories of success (and a few hard-won failures as well). If you enjoy what you discovered here, just imagine how much you will benefit when you join us for the full course!

Study on your own schedule, in the comfort of your own home, office or church tech booth.

No Experience Required

We specialize in educating aspiring techs not only HOW to improve the sound, but also WHY they are taking each step. More experienced audio techs rediscover techniques they forgot, and even relearn concepts they needed a refresher on. Everyone benefits.

"Highly Recommended!"

"Curt Taipale is the Mr. Miyagi of the audio world." "Wax on .... wax off .... paint the fence, Danielson.”

“Everyone needs a firm understanding of the basics ... how sound works, how sound equipment works ... the basics build the foundation for advancement."

"Even if you feel like you have a grip on the basics, you will learn something from this course and gain ideas on how to do what you do even better."

Dan Miller

Tech Volunteer

"Been through the class multiple times."

“It's worth it! Been through the class multiple times and each time I learned something. You keep your materials so you can always go back and reference them. I highly recommend it!”

Brian McConnell

Tech Volunteer

"I've been several times and always learn."

“This is an amazing class. Curt will help your techs no matter what size church. This is absolutely worth the time and costs. I've been several times and always learn.”

Team Building

Many CSBC Grads have told us that taking the course alongside several of their fellow team members turned out to be an amazing team building process.

Not only did they get to know each other better through the experience, but having everyone study the course together helped to ensure that they were all "on the same page" in regards to their knowledge of the audio gear.

"I can't imagine an AV team without his help."

“22 years ago I was a nervous but willing volunteer to rebuild the AV ministry of our small portachurch. The CSC email group kept me on the straight and narrow, and I brought as many volunteers as I could to CSBC. Curt's the real deal. I can't imagine a volunteer AV team without his help.” ... "Highly recommended. All of our sound techs have been through the course."

Jeff Klein

Lead Tech Volunteer

Faith Baptist Church | Glen Burnie, MD

"Great meeting of the minds with many of our peers ..."

“I took 4 of my sound techs to an in-person Church Sound Boot Camp course a few years ago (Balt-DC area). Great course and teacher, great meeting of the minds with many of our peers, and everyone learned new things (including us older farts that have been doing this for 20-30 years and more.)" 😉

Bob Blair

Production Technician

Allen Event Center | Allen, TX

"A great way to boost novice volunteers."

“I have taken Curt Taipale's class twice, and brought other novice volunteers with me. And it is a very awesome way to boost them. And a good refresher."

Knowledge of Instructor

During my 40-year career in pro audio I've experienced it from every perspective – Audio Director and Technical Director in three churches, professional musician, recording engineer, live sound engineer, AV integrator, and as a consultant designing AVL systems and room acoustics.

That diverse background allows me to view each of my student's need for knowledge from a broad range of perspectives so that I focus on the very insight they need as an individual.

"You can trust what he teaches to be accurate."

“It would be hard to find anything better than the Church Sound Boot Camp. Curt is an excellent teacher, and you can trust what he teaches to be accurate.”

Jim Crosby

Owner at 3 Monkey Productions | Florence, SC

"Worth every penny ... no matter what level you are!"

“I started my sound career around 40 years ago with the original cassette tape version of CSBC. Just about wore those tapes out, but I learned a lot. Worth every penny if you put it to use! No matter what level you are!”

Jonathan Mark Bagwill

Pastor

Apostolics of Fairbanks, Alaska

"Curt is an extremely knowledgeable instructor."

“My team is doing this right now. We are learning an incredible amount. I fully suggest it. Curt is an extremely knowledgeable instructor ... you won't regret it.”

I love hearing these stories from our students.

The topics are arranged according to signal flow.

The course outline follows the signal flow of a sound system, and that is intentional. What I hope to impress on you is how all the components of a sound system are arranged, and why. So that when (not if) the system stops working – usually ten minutes before the downbeat of a service – you will naturally think through the source of the problem logically and quickly get it resolved.
