Gain

Crunchy, flattened peaks that stay ugly even if the fader is pulled down.

Gain

The useful signal is weak, then hiss becomes obvious when the channel is turned up later.

EQ

Low thumps and room rumble clear up when the high-pass filter is applied.

EQ

A voice becomes sharp and tiring when upper-mid presence is pushed too far.

EQ

The vocal or worship bus feels cloudy, thick and hard to understand even though it is loud enough.

Dynamics

Soft and loud phrases become easier to follow, but too much control can flatten expression.

Dynamics

The vocal is loud and forward but flat, squeezed and tiring with breath and room noise pulled up.

Dynamics

Noise disappears between phrases, but a bad threshold chops consonants and word endings.

Feedback

A narrow tone grows quickly, like a warning before full feedback.

Livestream

The stream gets loud but smaller, flatter and tiring when the limiter is pushed.

Livestream

The stream is clean but disconnected, like close mics with no room or congregation around them.

Livestream

Speech and worship feel distant, washy and hard to understand because room mics dominate.

Livestream

The mix balance is usable, but everything feels low compared with normal online content.

Livestream

The stream breaks up on loud worship moments even when FOH sounds fine.

S and T sounds jump forward sharply until de-essing controls them.
