How to Play Split Track Dvds in Easy Worship 7

Either use the balance control on your computer or on your PA system. If testing on a computer please use headphones so you cn be sure to hear the right and left channels distinctly. The left earphone should be playing the vocals and band with the band only in the right. On your computer's internal audio balance button or slider, move it left to right and hear the results. If you hearing vocals in both earphones or there's no change to the sound then your computer is outputting audio to mono.

If you are inputting your computer into your church PA system there are a couple of ways of doing this. Firstly you could connect the 3.5 mm headphone output of your computer via a standard stereo cable into an input of the mixing desk, sound system or amp that has a left/right pan or balance control and simply adjust as you wish.Alternatively you could get a splitter cable that still goes from your headphone output but now splits into two inputs on your mixing desk. Then use the volume inputs or faders on the desk to balance the level of the vocal. The other option is to use the internal left/right balance control on your computers own software volume mixer. This should be within the audio settings on the control panel on a PC and within system preferences on a Mac. Alternatively if you can't find your computer's balance settings you could use a media player that has separate left/right balance controls. How do the on screen lyrics work? The lyrics are basically a movie that runs in time with the music and automatically changes in synch with the song. We've improved them from our original worship backing band DVD with an even crisper high definition font and adjusted the timing so each new lyric screen comes in well before you need to sing the words.

The split tracks are mixed as a standard stereo file with the full band and vocals on one side and just the band without vocals on the other.You change the volume of the vocals on your actual computers left/right internal volume balance – not on Windows Media Player/ITunes etc. (Just like the balance control on a standard stereo system).

To do this go into: Control Panel, select Sound/Audio icon (probably the icon is a speaker but it depends on your particular system).Click into it and look for Speakers/Headphones (you might have other icons such as digital ouput device, microphone settings etc).Again click on speakers and headphones and if you are in windows you probably have a tab called levels. That should bring up either left/right speaker balance sliders or a general slider with speakers with a button called balance next to it. Then you should have a variety of sliders depending on system, marked L,R,C, Sub etc.

Play the track and adjust the left/right sliders to taste.

If you have problems with the left and right channel volume levels on a PC where everything seems to be playing at the same level in each channel your Windows PC may be set to play in mono or that a Windows update has installed an audio enhancement which is affecting the channel volume levels. To fix this, make sure that all audio enhancements are disabled, as some of these disable stereo playback. Here are instructions on doing this: http://technicallyeasy.net/2010/09/how-to-disable-audio-enhancements-windows-7/

Finally, in the sound control panel is a "Configure" button, which will allow you to test your audio setup and check that you are playing back in stereo. Select the "Playback" tab if it's not already chosen. Select your headphones. Click the "Configure" button, which pulls up the Speaker Setup dialog box. Click "Stereo" from the "Audio Channels" menu. Please confirm that you have used this button and that you can hear the output in stereo.

Similarly, you may need to turn off the "Effects" option.

In terms of which speakers the sound will then come out of. If you are just coming out of your computer into a home stereo then yes, it will come out of one speaker. If you are going into a church PA system then that will allow you to mix in mono and have sound coming out of both speakers.

Mac Users:

Select System Preferences/Sound/ Output.  Use the Balance Bar to adjust vocals.  Full Right mutes vocals completely.
