There's a lot going on in the world of church audio and it's not all good.  Chris and Brian talk with Richard Gaspard, the House of Worship Market Manager about what he, and PreSonus are doing to help.  They also talk about the night and day difference between the first PreSonus digital console and what they offer today.
