Bryan Chamberland Podcast Ep 72:
Building the Future of Worship
How One Rig, One Vision, and One Body Create a Movement
When Excellence Meets Calling: The Production Blueprint Behind June 7 & Beyond
Every move of God has a sound.
And right now, across Alberta, that sound is being built one conversation, one cable, one scene, and one surrendered heart at a time.
Episode 72 dives deep into the future of worship production in Alberta. Bryan sits down with Murray Emery founder of Crooks Hollow Studio to unpack the full technical blueprint behind June 7 and the growing movement of youth preparing through Production Camp — the technical and creative foundation behind what’s coming on June 7 and the future of Praise in the Park.
How to build a professional‑grade worship system without overwhelm, even if you’re still learning the gear
Most leaders think you need a full production team, a massive budget, or a studio‑level engineer to create a clean, consistent, portable worship environment.
But the truth is simpler:
With the right rig, the right workflow, and the right discipleship mindset, any church can build a system that is mobile, scalable, and excellence‑driven — without chaos, confusion, or burnout.
This episode breaks down the exact process:
• how to run in‑ears that mirror front‑of‑house
• how to record clean stems for post‑mixing
• how to prep for livestreaming
• how to build scenes that work indoors, outdoors, and across multiple churches
• how to run MIDI, lighting, and tracks from a single Mac
• how to keep everything simple enough for volunteers, but powerful enough for professionals
This is the blueprint for the next generation of worship leaders.
The conversation walks through the full setup:
• true splits for FOH and in‑ears
• Reaper as the central DAW
• MIDI‑triggered lighting, guitar tones, and slides
• portable rigs for outdoor evangelism
• scene‑based workflows for multiple churches
• SD‑card multitrack recording for documentary + post‑production
• templates that allow any worship leader to step in and serve
It’s not just about gear — it’s about building a system that disciples people into excellence.
Picture this:
A single Mac running click, tracks, MIDI, lighting, and recording.
A worship team whose in‑ears match the front‑of‑house mix so they learn to play for the room, not for themselves.
A portable rig that can move from a church to a field to a festival stage without losing quality.
Youth learning how to run sound, mix, record, and lead worship with confidence.
A documentary capturing the journey — the growth, the mistakes, the breakthroughs, the calling.
This is not just production.
This is discipleship through excellence.
This is 1 Corinthians 12:12–31 in motion — one body, many parts, one King.
If this resonates with you — if you want to learn this system, grow in worship leadership, or be part of the team shaping the sound of what God is doing in Alberta — now is the time.
It’s not just production — it’s discipleship through excellence, rooted in 1 Corinthians 12:12–31 & Ephesians 4:11-13
Yes, we want to excel. Rooted in Progress, not Perfection. We all want to be better, and we all have to start somewhere. Come as you are.

This is where the next generation of worship leaders is being built.
This is where calling meets craft.
This is where excellence becomes worship.
