(Even If You've Never Touched Audio Equipment Before)
Enroll NowWhat if next Sunday, instead of hoping nothing goes wrong, you knew exactly what to do when something does?
Whether you're the volunteer who got asked because "you're good with computers," the faithful servant who's been figuring it out as you go, or the experienced tech who still feels uncertain about some aspects of church sound...
This isn't about becoming a professional audio engineer. It's about serving your church with confidence.
No more feedback during quiet prayer moments - You'll know exactly how to prevent it before it starts
Smooth transitions between speaking and worship - The pastor's mic levels, the worship leader's vocals, instrument balance - all handled seamlessly
Congregation members actually compliment the sound - Instead of wondering what went wrong, people notice how clear everything sounds
You walk up to any mixing console with confidence - Even equipment you've never seen before makes sense once you understand the fundamentals
Your pastor stops worrying about technical issues - Because you've got it handled, every single Sunday
Most audio courses teach recording studio techniques or concert sound. But church sound is different:
That's why you need training designed specifically for the church environment.
Did you make the mistake of walking too close to the sound booth last week? Congratulations - you just got drafted into the tech ministry! Maybe you're good with computers, so everyone assumes you can figure out the sound system. You want to serve, but that mixing console feels overwhelming.
You've got decades of audio experience, but these new digital consoles work differently than the analog boards you mastered. Your expertise is valuable - you just need to bridge it to modern tools.
You're tired of retraining volunteers every six months. You need a systematic way to build confidence and consistency across your entire sound team.
You're comfortable with technology and want to develop real skills while serving your church. You need clear steps and measurable progress.
This course meets you where you are.
Whether you got "volunteered" last Sunday or you're translating decades of experience to new gear, you'll find practical, church-specific training that builds on your strengths and fills in the gaps.
Curt Taipale isn't just another audio engineer who decided to teach online courses.
He's been solving church sound problems since before most of today's "experts" were even born. With 45 years in professional audio and nearly 40 years focused specifically on church sound, Curt has literally written the book on this stuff.
But here's what makes him different: Curt started as a professional musician for 12 years before switching to pro audio. He understands sound from both sides of the microphone - as a performer who needs to hear himself clearly, and as the tech making it all work.
But here's what really matters: Curt understands that church sound techs aren't trying to become professional engineers. You're servants who want to do your job well so worship can happen without distraction.
"My goal isn't to make you a pro audio expert. It's to give you the confidence and skills to serve your church excellently, week after week." - Curt Taipale
This isn't theory. It's 7 hours of practical, church-specific training broken into bite-sized modules:
Stop guessing where to place mics. Learn the simple techniques that capture great sound from vocals, acoustic guitars, drums, and piano - whether you have 2 mics or 22.
Finally understand why your wireless mics cut out and how to keep them crystal clear. Plus: if you have any wireless gear operating between 608-806 MHz, it's been illegal since 2020 - we'll explain what you need to know.
You've probably been told "never touch the EQ." We'll teach you a simple technique that takes the mystery out of equalization and helps you make vocals and instruments sound their best.
Here's Curt's bold promise: "Once you understand this concept, you'll be able to walk up to any console - even one you've never seen before - and within moments understand how to drive it." This section alone is worth the entire course.
Most church techs use compressors wrong, making their mix sound lifeless and feedback-prone. Learn how to use them correctly to smooth out your mix.
Add reverb and delay that supports the music instead of distracting from it. The goal: effects so tasteful that people have to listen deep into the mix to notice them.
When should you use an active vs. passive direct box? How long can you run cables before sound quality suffers? What's the difference between polarity and phase? Get the technical basics that help you solve real problems.
Learn why feedback happens and how to prevent it - so your monitors can actually help the musicians instead of fighting against your main speakers.
Here's what happened when real church volunteers took this course:
Scott Singleton
Tech Volunteer, First Baptist Church"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!"
Wyatt Johnson
Tech Director, FBC Topeka"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."
Tim & Lorrie Cook
Tech Volunteers, St Paul Lutheran Church"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."
Sammie Justice
Lead Tech Volunteer"After church today a husband and wife stopped by the sound booth. He said, 'I just wanted to tell you how GREAT everything sounded today! The last couple of weeks have really been taken to the next level. I even told my wife someone finally figured out how to use the board!' Thank you Curt for making this platform possible."
Even industry professionals and experienced techs learn something new:
Gordon Moore
President, Lectrosonics (retired)"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."
Eric Chancey
Production Director, Princeton Pike Church of God"CSBC should be the foundational training for any church sound person."
Here's what most churches spend on sound training:
Hiring an audio consultant for just 2-3 hours: $500-800
Sending someone to a professional audio workshop: $800-1,500
Audio engineering school courses: $2,000-5,000
Learning by trial and error: Priceless embarrassment every Sunday
Church Sound Boot Camp: $197
That's less than most churches spend on one Sunday's coffee budget. And unlike a consultant who leaves after a few hours, you get:
Lifetime access - Watch the modules as many times as you need
7 hours of focused, church-specific training - No fluff, just what you need to know
Real classroom recordings from actual churches - Not sterile studio productions
Direct access to Curt - Email, phone, even video calls for your specific questions
Exclusive community access - Join the Church Sound Class, our private online community where students, church techs, musicians, and industry pros share solutions and support each other
Mobile app included - Access your course content and community discussions anywhere with our dedicated mobile app
Group discount - $167 per person when 3+ people from your church enroll
Plus, you're covered by our 90-day guarantee...
"If by the end of 90 days you find that this course hasn't met your expectations, if you gave it your all and you can't honestly hear improvements in the sound quality of your worship services as a result of applying the techniques and principles we've shared, contact our Support Desk for a complete refund along with our genuine Thank You for giving it a solid try."
That's 90 days - not the typical 30-day guarantee. Why? Because Curt wants you to actually implement what you learn and hear the difference in your worship services.
And here's the best part: Even after you complete the course, Curt is still available. Students contact him months or even years later with questions about their specific church setup.
The Church Sound Class is our private online community that's been connecting church techs since 1997 (it started as the ChurchSoundcheck Discussion Group email list). Today, it's a thriving web-based forum where:
Plus, with our new mobile app, you can access both your course content and community discussions anywhere. Got a question during Sunday setup? Post it and get answers from people who've been there.
This isn't just training - it's ongoing support from people who understand exactly what you're dealing with.
Instead of walking up to the mixing console with that familiar knot in your stomach...
You arrive early, confident and prepared. You know exactly which settings to check, how to prevent feedback before it starts, and what to do if something unexpected happens.
The worship leader gives you a thumbs up because the monitor mix is perfect and everyone on stage can hear themselves clearly.
The pastor's sermon comes through crystal clear - no more adjusting levels mid-sentence or wondering if the congregation can hear properly.
After service, instead of hoping no one noticed the sound issues, congregation members actually compliment how great everything sounded.
You drive home feeling satisfied with how you served - not stressed about what went wrong.
This isn't a fantasy. It's what happens when you understand the fundamentals.
