What is remote livestream mixing?
A professional audio engineer mixes your church’s livestream live, over the internet, while your service happens. Your soundboard sends every channel to a computer at your church. Your engineer connects to it and mixes worship and the sermon in real time, and the finished mix goes out on your YouTube or Facebook stream.
What do we need to get started?
Most churches already have what they need: a soundboard and a computer. If extra equipment is needed, we will let you know prior to any kind of investment.
How fast can we start?
Most churches are set up within 1 week.
Does remote mixing work for small churches?
Yes. There is a universal standard for audio, whether you are under 100 people or over 1,000. Most churches already have what they need: a soundboard and a computer. You don’t need new gear, new volunteers or audio experience.
Does it work for multisite churches?
Yes. Whether you’re a small church or a growing multi-campus ministry, we have a package that fits. You get a dedicated engineer for the service time you select. We don’t mix multiple services at one time.
Why does our livestream sound muddy or thin when the room sounds great?
In the sanctuary, drums, amps and the congregation fill the air. Online, people only hear what the board sends. Your sound tech mixes for the room and can’t hear the stream while the band plays twenty feet away. And phones and car speakers expose everything: a mix that sounds fine in the booth falls apart on small speakers, where most people listen.
Some of this you can fix yourself. Start with our 5 livestream mix fixes for churches.
Do you mix the sermon too, or just the music?
Both. Your engineer mixes worship and the sermon live, channel by channel, from start to finish.
Do you handle church live sound too, or just the livestream?
Just the livestream. Your team keeps running live sound in the room; your engineer mixes the broadcast audio that goes online. If you want help with the room, our on-site visits cover system tuning and training.
Do we have to pay for you to travel to our church to do this?
Our process is fully remote. If you are happy with our livestream services and you want to fly us out for your house mix & training, we would love to do so.
What kind of knowledge or training do we need to kick off the process?
You don’t need any kind of specialized knowledge to work with us. We have a streamlined, remote process that already takes into account the elements that must be handled locally.
What if I don’t have someone to run my broadcast week to week?
We offer both remote, real-time mixing, as well as providing you a system that you run on your own with training. If you don’t want remote mixing, and you don’t have someone to run your broadcast mix locally, then we have options and guidance for you.
Is this something we have to pay for forever, or do we own it for life?
Most churches start with weekly mixing. If you later want to run it yourselves, we train your team and hand it over.
What does it cost?
It depends on how long your service runs. You’ll get exact pricing on your call, before you commit to anything.
For comparison, a staff audio engineer runs $45,000–$80,000 a year and a freelance mixer $150–$600 a week. Weekly mixing with us costs less than a freelancer.
Is there a contract or a setup fee?
Your choice: month-to-month with a one-time setup, or a 6-month agreement with no setup fee. We’ll go over both on your call.
What happens if our internet drops during service?
Your mix runs on your church’s computer, so it keeps going on its last settings. Your engineer reconnects the moment you’re back online.

How do churches choose a remote mixing service?
Start by hearing your own worship team mixed, not a sample reel. Then ask four things. Does a dedicated engineer mix live during your service? Does it work with the soundboard and computer you already have? Who answers when something breaks during service? Can you go month to month?
Our guide walks through it step by step: How to choose church remote mixing.
What makes Emperor Audio different from other remote mixing companies?
Your engineer mixes only your service. A dedicated engineer mixes it live, start to finish. We don’t mix multiple services at one time. Our leads check quality and handle tech support across churches, so your engineer’s attention stays on your service.
