Introduction
We record sermons and other messages for archival purposes and transmission to those who cannot attend or have to occasionally miss.
Recording Sermons
- Plug the headphones into the headphone icon in the dark output pane in the top right corner of the soundboard
- Turn on the sound computer (the emachines PC on the left)
- Remove the USB dongle from the bottom of the blue wireless mouse and plug it in one of the USB port on the front of the PC
- If the PC launches a web page, go ahead and close it
- Click the Reaper (x64) icon on the Desktop to launch the recording software
- Click Insert>Insert track from template>FBC Recording
- If you have a mic that is unmuted, have someone speak into the mic

- You should also hear the vocals in the headphones
- Once the speaker is ready to begin the recording, click the red, circular Record button toward the bottom left of the screen
- You should see soundwaves scrolling across the largest pane in the top right of the screen
- Once the sermon is over, click the Record button again
