Editor’s Note:
A Little Loopy

made a little mistake in the

September issue of Worship Leader. After receiving our copy of the printed issue we realized there was a

review of a certain tech product, but it was called the wrong thing. And we even gave you the wrong picture while directing you to the wrong website. Basically, we messed this one up.

The product is actually called Loops in Worship where there are downloadable audio loops for you to grab and resources to help you learn how to create or use said loops in your services of worship (they are actually in this issue as one of our Editor’s Picks). Their website is loopsinworship.com.

Now, on a completely different topic, we recently have come across a resource called Worship Loops. That one is visual in nature and looks to mostly contain video backgrounds for your worship services.

So here it is: we mixed loopsinworship.
com with worshiploops.com. Hopefully
you will offer a little understanding in
this case. Either way, we hope we didn’t
create too much confusion.

Important Truth
egarding Robb Redman’s article
“The Mediation of Christ in Wor-
ship” being front and center in
the recent issue, thank you, thank
you, thank you! I can’t tell you
how encouraged I am to see the contem-
porary worship conversation moving in
this direction. This is, IMHO, the most
important truth for worship leaders and
all Christians to understand if we are go-
ing to see a renewal of true worship in
the Church today.

Gratefully,

Below Middle C Response ecordings tend to be tenor-driven because the high voice is powerful and energetic (and male, because the high female voice is currently out of fashion). From Sinatra to

We

Pavarotti to Steve Green to Chris Tomlin, that’s how it is. So if it’s high, crank it down—usually one-and-a-half-to-two steps will do (three steps if your lead singer is female). Unfortunately, some worship leaders are under tremendous pressure to do everything CD style, CD pitch. But that’s OK—the lead singer is free to run and dance and sing his high F#, and we are free to rumble along an octave down. The secret to being happy with a song is not worrying too much about how it sounds.
