You sit down at the console.
The compressor stares back.
You see the knobs and buttons...
Threshold, ratio, attack, release, makeup gain.
You kind of know what they do.
Sort of...
You've watched a YouTube video or two. You've tweaked settings until something sounded "different" and called it good.
But if you're being honest, you're still guessing.
The vocal doesn't quite sit. The kick doesn't hit the way it does on the records you love. The mix sounds okay, but it never feels finished.
And the worst part is you know you should know this by now. You've been running sound for a while. You care about it. You want Sunday to sound good because what happens on that stage matters.
But week after week, you walk out of the booth wishing it had landed better, wondering if anyone could tell, wondering if you're the only one who notices.
Here's the truth. It's not your fault.
Nobody sat you down and taught you this.
Maybe you're a volunteer (or close to it), serving on Sunday between a real job and a real life, learning by feel because that's all you've had access to.
You're not behind. You just haven't had the right training yet.
That changes on Friday.
Here's what most church audio techs get wrong about compression:
A lot of church sound guys think about compression entirely backwards.
They think it's about making things louder or "bigger", when it's really about adding control, consistency, and presence and shaping the sound exactly how you want.
Other church techs think you have to have special plugins or even analog outboard gear to get truly great sounding compression.
Spoiler alert... you don't.
The compressors that are built into your console are great... if you actually know how to use them. You can get that "magic" CLA-76 vocal sound on your Behringer or Allen & Heath console, and we'll show you exactly how.
Finally, we've seen a lot of church techs get frustrated trying to learn compression so they either just give up or settle for "good enough".
But... compression isn't hard, as long as you have the right method.
Let's go from guessing at compression...
To mixing with intention.

This Month's Workshop
Compression:
Beginner to Advanced.
Live(streamed) Workshop
Friday May 29, 12pm ET • 90+ minutes • Live + Q&A.
Most live sound training (especially about compression) either skims the surface or buries you in audio theory that doesn't translate to a Sunday morning service.
The Compression Workshop isn't either of those.
We start with what compression actually is, walk through every knob and what it does, then go step-by-step through how to dial it in on the exact channels you mix every week. Vocals, drums, bass, acoustic, keys.
Beginner to advanced, in one focused live session, with real-time Q&A so you can ask the questions you've been sitting on for years.

"Amazing courses!"
"Took my mixes to the next level!"
"This community is incredible!"
The resources and courses in Central have been so helpful for our church! It's great getting to know a community who are all working to get better at what we do!
Paul D ● Oakbrook Church
I've gotten so much out of the monthly workshops on Central. Asking questions and getting answers in real time makes it easy to go into Sunday with a plan to improve.
Aaron E. ● The Well Christian Church
You guys bring a ton of clarity to things that are easily misunderstood. I highly recommend this program to anyone, from the newbie all the way to the sound guy who's been at if for years!
Jesse H ● Greenville Church Of God
These courses make it all SO simple! Johnny and Matt teach in a style that's easy to understand and fun to engage with. It's awesome how easy it makes it to train new team members too!
Robert P. ● Overcome Church
Real Talk:
Let's address the
elephant in the room.
You're probably tired of subscriptions
We get it. Everyone has those monthly charges on their credit card.
Here's our take.
We didn't want to create another library of random training videos.
We want to create step by step training that gets you better and better results every time you mix.
That's why we're constantly adding content to Central.
We're committing to giving you the tools, training, resources, and community you need to grow (and keep growing) as a church sound tech.
We're adding new content every month.
That's what makes Central so valuable for you.
It's not a "one and done" training. It's constant growth. It's training for your team. It's a community that comes alongside you and grows with you.
We think you're going to love it.
That's why we've priced it as low as we possibly can to make it as accessible to as many people as possible.
And if it's not for you? We've got you covered.
You can cancel your membership in about 30 seconds, right from inside your account. No phone calls, no "are you sure?" hoops, no guilt trips. If a month goes by and you didn't use it, cancel. We'll part as friends and you can come back anytime.
And, annual membership have a 30-day "Sunday Mix Guarantee".
Try it for a month. If you didn't apply something from Central to your Sunday mix in those 30 days, email us and we'll refund every dollar. No questions asked.
This month's compression workshop alone is the kind of training people pay $200+ for in pro audio circles.
Even if that's the only thing you ever use Central for, you came out ahead.
But it won't be the only thing. Once you're in, you'll see why hundreds of church audio techs have already joined Central.

Meet Johnny & Matt
Johnny and Matt have over 30 years of combined experience in church audio. We started Worship Sound Guy back in 2016 to help church audio techs learn how to mix better every Sunday.
We serve in churches every Sunday, and have also mixed for major artists like Leeland, Crowder, Aaron Keyes, Maverick City Music and more.
We built WSG Central because the resources out there were either too surface-level to actually help, or written for pro studio engineers and didn't translate to a Sunday morning service with a volunteer team. Central is everything we wish we'd had when we started. Beginner to advanced, step-by-step training built for the realities of church audio.
If you're reading this, you care about Sunday. You want your mix to serve the worship well. That's exactly who Central is built for, and that's exactly who's going to walk out of Friday's workshop a noticeably better mixer.

FAQ's
Do I have to attend the workshop live on Friday?
Nope. The full replay drops into your Central account by Saturday morning and lives there forever. Watch on your schedule. Join before Friday at noon ET to attend live and ask Johnny your questions in real time. Join after, and you'll still get the replay, but the live Q&A is the part you can't get back.
Will this work for my church?
Yes. Our training is console-agnostic, so the framework works whether you're on an X32, M32, SQ, Avantis, Wing, or something else entirely. On top of that, we include presets and show files for most popular digital mixers, plus console-specific training for the most common ones.
Can my whole team attend the workshop?
Yes, with a team plan. You get up to 5 logins, and all 5 can attend the live workshop (and watch the replay anytime). Most tech directors find the replay flexibility actually makes team training easier than scheduling everyone for noon Friday.
How does the team plan login system work?
Each team member gets their own login and progress tracking under your account. As team members rotate (which happens in every church), you reassign logins to new volunteers anytime. The training stays with your team, not with the individual person.
How do I access everything?
The second you join, you get instant access to the Central platform with every course, every workshop replay, the community, the presets, the multitracks, and the resource library. The live Compression Workshop link will be in your dashboard, and you'll get a reminder email before we go live.
What if I'm a complete beginner?
You're in the right place. Friday's workshop starts at the absolute foundation and builds from there. Most members are intermediate or beginners. You'll fit right in.
What if I'm advanced?
The advanced section (parallel compression, multi-band, mix-bus compression strategies) will give you techniques most pro engineers don't share publicly. There's something here even for seasoned mixers.
Will this work with my console?
Yes. Our core training is console-agnostic, the fundamentals work on any mixer. On top of that, we include presets and show files for most popular digital consoles (X32, M32, SQ, Wing, and more), so you get both the principles and the plug-and-play shortcuts. We also have console specific training on a growing library of consoles so if you want to learn how to use a specific console, you can do that too.
Can I really cancel anytime?
Yes. From inside your account, takes about 30 seconds, no phone calls, no hoops.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
On annual plans, yes. 30-day Sunday Mix Guarantee, no questions asked, email us and we'll refund.
When do the bonuses go away?
Friday May 29 at 12pm ET sharp. After that, the live workshop is over and the mix review bonus is gone. The workshop replay stays in Central forever, but the bonuses are this week only.
How can I reach you?
Hit the chat button on our site or email us anytime. We actually read and respond to every message.
Here's how to get started.
Pick your plan and join Central. Choose monthly or annual, individual or team, and you'll get instant access to the full platform.

Worship Sound Guy Central Includes:
Friday at noon ET.
Don't mix another Sunday
without a plan.
Here's the deal. Sunday is coming whether you're ready or not.
You can keep walking into the booth hoping the mix lands, or you can show up Friday, learn our compression method live, and walk in knowing exactly what every compressor is doing and why.
One Friday. 90 minutes. The difference between guessing and serving.
And there's a replay included if you can't make it live.
Join Central now to lock in your seat, get the cheat sheet, and unlock the entire training library, community, and every monthly workshop after this one. If it's not for you, cancel monthly anytime, or use the 30-day Sunday Mix Guarantee on annual. Either way, there's nothing to lose.
See you Friday!
