Hear churches we mix every week.
These are their actual Sunday livestreams, played straight from each church’s YouTube or Facebook. Nothing was fixed or remixed in post. What you hear is exactly what their viewers heard live.
The quick answers.
What churches ask us first.
Most churches pay $200 to $400 a month. Small church or large, the price works the same.
How much does it cost?
Live Sunday mixing starts at $50 per service. Most churches pay $200 to $400 a month. That’s roughly a quarter of what a local engineer typically costs.
Is there a contract?
Yes. Plans start with a 90-day term. Commit to six months and save 10%, or a full year and save 20%.
How fast can we start?
Fast. We can start your install within 24 hours of enrollment. From there, a full custom mix build usually takes about two weeks from your first recorded service to a mix you love.
Great musicians. Good gear. Still sounds rough online?
Talent and equipment don’t get you all the way. The people watching from home hear a different service than the people in the room.
Your livestream is your new front door.
Before most guests ever park in your lot, they’ve already been to your church online. If the vocals are buried or the sound is harsh, many never make it to the parking lot.

More people are watching than you think.
The math is simpler than you’d think.
Our plans run about $200 to $400 a month. That’s roughly $50 to $95 per Sunday, about what many churches spend on coffee and donuts.
If a better stream helps even one or two new families decide to visit and stay, it can cover most or all of the cost. Example for illustration, not a promise of results.
People forgive shaky video. They don’t forgive bad sound.
Hear a church just like yours.
Pick your weekly attendance and hear churches your size that we mix live. Every clip is their real Sunday stream, exactly as their viewers heard it.
Pastors and worship leaders on working with us.
“When I first saw the ads online, I honestly didn’t think a company could deliver this level of quality at that price point. But I was wrong. We’ve been with Stream Sounds for over a year now, and we couldn’t be happier.”
Joseph Cafeo, Worship Director, Oceans Unite Christian CentreOverheard on Sunday mornings
“There was a huge difference in our audio quality. I’m extremely pleased.”
Christopher L. Ervin, Greater Mount Moriah“We already got a wow compliment on the sound quality!!”
Alan Salway“Much improved over the last few months.”

Who you’ll work with
Hi, I’m Clayton.
I’ve played music since I was eleven and produced records since sixteen. I learned church audio as a tech director from 2015 to 2018, and since COVID my team and I have helped churches with their online sound full time. We work with 20–30 churches a month, across every style of worship.
I’m an audio guy, not a video guy. Let’s talk about your sound.
Meet the Stream Sounds team.
41 engineers and team leads mixing churches every Sunday, so there’s always someone ready for yours.
Everything churches ask us.
Gear, setup, Sundays, pricing. If your question isn’t here, it’s a great one for the free call.
Getting started
How fast can we start?
Fast. We can start your install within 24 hours of enrollment. From there, a full custom mix build usually takes about two weeks from your first recorded service to a mix you love.
What happens on the free call?
It’s 15 minutes and there’s no pitch deck. We listen to your current stream, ask what you’re mixing on and how your room is set up, and tell you exactly what we’d change. If we’re not a fit, we’ll tell you that too.
How do you build our mix?
We do a multitrack recording of your first service, worship and the word. Our techs build a rough mix from it, then Clayton finishes it to your taste: vocal clarity, low end, balance between band and pulpit. We also route the mix into your livestream setup. Once you approve it, your engineer is assigned.
What do you need from us each week?
Two things: send your set list and anything else we should know in Slack before Sunday, and save and reload your mixer, camera switcher and video encoder settings each service so our changes stick.
Gear and setup
What equipment do we need?
A current digital mixer, a computer at your booth and a reliable internet connection. We remotely install Splashtop for remote access and Fender Studio for mixing, then set up remote control of your mixer. Nothing to buy from us.
Which mixers do you work with?
Any digital mixer with a built-in multichannel USB audio interface or Dante, including Behringer WING and X32, Midas M32, Allen & Heath SQ and Qu, PreSonus StudioLive, Yamaha TF and DM3, Soundcraft Ui24R and Mackie DL.
We have an analog board. Will that work?
Not with remote mixing. We need every channel sent to the computer separately, which takes a digital mixer with multichannel USB or Dante. If you’re ready to go digital, we also do on-site installation and can help you pick the right console.
Does this change what we hear in the room?
No. Your in-room mix stays with your team. We mix only what goes out to the stream, which is why it can be built for headphones, phones and laptop speakers instead of a big room.
Do you handle video too?
We’re audio people. We send our mix into the video setup you already use, whether that’s a Blackmagic ATEM, a Roland switcher or a streaming computer, so your camera team keeps doing what they do.
On Sunday
Can we talk to our engineer directly?
Yes. You and your team join a shared Slack channel with your engineer and ours, and you get iMessage access to our team. You can book support sessions or mix revisions with Clayton anytime.
What if our engineer is out sick?
You’re never depending on one person. Your engineer has a whole team behind them, and your mix is saved, so someone else can step in and your stream still sounds like you.
What if our internet drops mid-service?
Then you’ve got a bigger problem than your mix. Without internet, there’s no livestream at all. A reliable wired connection at the booth is a must for any church that streams.
Do you mix midweek services and special events?
Yes. We cover most additional services, like midweek nights, Christmas, Easter and special events, at no extra charge, within reason. Just give your engineer a heads-up in Slack.
Pricing and plans
How much does it cost?
Live Sunday mixing starts at $50 per service. Most churches pay $200 to $400 a month. That’s roughly a quarter of what a local engineer typically costs.
Is there a contract?
Yes. Plans start with a 90-day term. Commit to six months and save 10%, or a full year and save 20%.
How does billing work?
Whatever works best for you. We can bill weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually.
Beyond the stream
Do you do installs and troubleshooting?
Yes. Besides live mixing, we do on-site installation and integration, troubleshooting and tech support, and audio system tuning for churches.
Make this Sunday’s stream sound like Sunday.
Book a free 15-minute call. We’ll listen to your current stream and tell you exactly what we’d change.
