Broadcast audio.
Live recording.

An online listener is not sharing the same acoustic environment as the congregation or concert audience. The broadcast mix needs its own balance, rather than being treated as an automatic copy of the room mix.

MRD plans the audio path with the video and streaming teams: which sources are available, where the mix is made, and how the finished program is handed off. The production scope identifies the people and systems responsible for each stage.

Broadcast mixing

A dedicated musical and spoken-word balance for the online audience.

Finishing, where required

Final tonal refinement and program-level consistency, with a separate engineer when the scope calls for that attention.

Listening checks

A monitoring plan that can include consumer playback devices and the actual stream return, not only the local feed.

Multitrack recording captures discrete sources for an agreed later use. Before the event, we discuss the inputs to record, required formats, signal handoffs, and who will receive the material.

A recording package is not the same as a finished release. Editing, remixing, mastering, synchronization, and any re-upload or distribution requirements must be separately confirmed rather than presumed to be included.

MRD's broadcast audio work connects with the people responsible for cameras, picture switching, encoding, and distribution. Those responsibilities need to be specified in the complete production plan.

At Alfred Street's Easter 2026 production, CVW Events delivered video under subcontract to MRD. The case study keeps that video credit distinct from MRD's audio, monitoring, recording, and backline responsibilities.
