Just like our big brothers and sisters in the publishing industry, the editorial crew responsible for Shure Notes for Houses of Worship spends a fair amount of time planning the editorial calendar for the year, then revising it periodically to take advantage of breaking news or special opportunities. Since the earliest days of its existence, our charter has been clear: to provide a broad range of audio fundamentals with an emphasis on tips and tricks that any church crew can use and apply.
We constantly ask ourselves: How are we doing? We evaluate every issue’s performance by looking at circulation figures, open rates and article metrics. But to make sure that we stay focused, we also survey subscribers like you every year.
This year’s responses were overwhelming and overwhelmingly positive. Better still, you gave us editorial recommendations that you’ll see in future issues.
98% find Shure Notes useful
79% think the articles are just about the right length
44% pass Shure Notes on to associates
Recording – Studio and Live
Microphones – Basics, Applications and Techniques
In-Ear Personal Monitors
In the months ahead – in fact, right in this issue – you’ll be seeing these suggestions come to life. For those of you who were hoping for a Danish language version or New Zealand content, we’re sorry that we won’t be able to help you out. Yet.
Remember, too, that you can access literally dozens of past issues of Shure Notes by visiting our Archive page. There you’ll find useful information on a wide spectrum of pro audio topics, along with engineer tips, artist profiles and lots more.
Thanks for reading. Thanks for responding. And thanks for your continued support.
