Where to you go after you've been a TD for a while? For some, it's a new career; for others, it's into a creative director mode. We talk about that, along with some ideas on leading technical people and structuring the department.

This week, we're at the Seeds Conference at Church on the Move in scenic Tulsa, OK. We couldn't visit COTM without hanging out with Andrew, so we all pilled into his office and talked about, what else, audio!​ I promised I would post a link to the '90s worship music retrospective as soon as it was available. So here it is!. (https://vimeo.com/61863110) It's part of the entire Night 2 video, so skip forward to about 9 minutes if you want to see just the funny part. Though Craig Groeschel was pretty good, too.​ Theme song:  But I Play One on TV (I'm Not a Fuzoid) by Norm Stockton (http://www.normstockton.com/) from his Tea in the Typhoon album.

Better late than never, we wrap up NAMM with our insightful commentary, hard-hitting analysis and a few coughing fits thrown in for good measure. While we did get sick, we also saw a lot of great products; here is our report.

Finding that balance is critical, and while new and shiny is fun, useful is forever.
