About & how to update

Soundcheck is the sound-booth handbook for Branson Bible Church — how to set up a channel on the X32 and the fundamentals behind it, written for volunteers, built to read on a phone in a dim booth.

What it is

Two ways in. Read the Guide start-to-finish to learn it, or jump straight to Troubleshooting, Quick Reference, or a how-to when you're mid-setup.
Built for our room. Everything assumes a small-to-medium worship room and the full-sized Behringer X32.
Starting points, not gospel. The numbers get you 80% there fast; the room, the mic, and the player always get the final vote.

How to keep it current

The site is plain HTML — no accounts, no logins, no database. The most important thing you can do is keep the church-specific details accurate.

First job: fill in Our Setup

Our Setup is a template with blanks for BBC's patch list, channel map, scene names, DCA layout, and monitor rig. Filling it in is what turns this from a generic X32 guide into your desk's manual. Keep it updated whenever the stage or the routing changes.

Editing the content

The written source for every page lives in the project's content/ folder as Markdown files (for example content/guide.md, content/howto-set-the-gain.md). The pages under guide/, howto/, reference/, sunday/, and troubleshooting/ are built from those.

Small wording fixes can be made directly in the page's .html file.
Bigger changes should update the matching Markdown in content/ too, so the source stays the source of truth.
Design and structure — colors, fonts, components — all live in one stylesheet, assets/css/site.css. Change a color there and it updates everywhere.

How changes go live

The site is hosted on Netlify and connected to its code repository. When an edit is committed and pushed, Netlify rebuilds and publishes automatically — usually within a minute. There's no separate "publish" button.

If you're not comfortable with that workflow, hand your changes to whoever set the site up. The design and structure are locked so that content edits are safe and simple.

If you move or rename the site

The QR code at the sound position points at a fixed web address. If that address ever changes, generate a new QR code for the new address and reprint it — the old one will stop working.
