I should add that while I have a couple of boards available for mixing
recordings, mixing recordings on a board is something I only do under
duress.

Primary reason is the fact that when I mix on the PC I have in essence an
automated board. I can't afford to have an REAL automated board at my
disposal.

Secondary reason is that mixing on a REAL board has to be done in real time,
while mixing on a DAW can range from lots faster than real time for actual
track mixing, to near-instantaneous.

If you mix a worship service on a DAW, you can do a lot of it by sight. This
saves tons of time.

Until the first time I audition a test recording, I may have never listened
to the entire service during mixdown. Maybe just 10-20% of it. That's how
you get the whole job done in the equivalent of real time.
