Here at Interactive Worship Live we simply desire to be a resource to the worship leader.
 

We don’t believe that great music makes the worship experience, but we know that having great music can help your congregation enter into worship.

Our hope is that that the sound of your team would simply be enhanced by having all the extra parts to songs available… and that smaller churches running tracks would have the flexibility to lead the music as the Holy Spirit leads them… and that your musicians and singers would be able to learn songs more easily by being able to solo the parts from the recording… and that playing with click tracks and loop tracks would tighten the sound of your band… and… that you would achieve an excellent sound with even more time left to worship.

What some of our users are saying . . .
 

Rarely does a product come along for the church that truly changes everything. While there are all kinds of great things out there to enhance the experience of a service, I honestly dont know if there has been something this revolutionary since we started using projectors instead of hymnals. Ive been leading worship for 9 years and I love the process of training up new peoplebut that often means you usually have something missing in your sound. I wish I had, had this product when I first started leading worship!

At The Harbor, were blessed to have a full team of volunteer musicians from day one. While we have been blessed to start out with a great team, it is still a sparse team. Theres 1 guitar player, not 4, no one on keys, or strings, no one programming loops, one back up singer, not 3 or 4, etc The tracks provided by IWL have helped us in so many ways! Not only does it give us a professional tour quality sound every time we use it, but it has proved to be an invaluable training tool. I have been able to use it to create practice CDs by boosting the volume of individual instruments, and by pulling individual instruments completely out. This gives our musicians and singer something to listen to for learning, and something they can practice too. Its been amazing to see how much this tool has helped! In specific, my bass player has really grown and continues to improve at an exponential rate, thanks to having access to these kinds of practice tracks. Anyway, thanks for helping make our services all they can be.

Our Praise Team at Morning Star Church of Houston has really benefited by using the tracks provided by Interactive Worship Live. There was a Sunday recently where three musicians had to leave for a wedding and we had no one! We used IWL tracks to build the entire praise and worship session and even looped a section at the end for communion and ministry time and the whole service flowed great! Usually we use the tracks to fill in for horns or organ or a missing musician. I can say that Interactive Worship Live has finally given us what we need to create that full, conference-style sound that we have been working towards.

Additionally, we use the tracks provided by Interactive Worship Live to practice with individually during the week. This increases the efficiency of our time together during team rehearsals when the singers can rehearse their parts with the tracks of a CD in another room and we can solo parts for musicians to hear what to play in our band rehearsal.

As the Director of Music at Morning Star Houston, I speak for all us on the praise team when I say that utilizing the tools and tracks provided to us through Interactive Worship Live has taken our Sunday morning worship time to another level!  

Interactive Worship Live has brillantly conceived an idea to put the power of live music in every church no matter what the configuration! 

"I've been using computers onstage with Michael W. Smith for over 10 years to supplement what the band does live. With production values like his, there would be no other way to get the overall impact we're looking for.

Interactive Worship Live is essentially bringing that same concept to the modern worship realm: allowing any worship team the capacity to deliver top-notch musicianship, sonic quality and production value.

It's important to note that there's no substitute for real musicians, and that's exactly what you get with IWL's approach: real musicians at the top of their craft, coming together to help you worship!"

The first time we used Interactive Worship Live for our worship service, one of our pastors came up to me and said: John, the worship sounded great today! Did you guys do something different? I laughed, of course, and said, Yes! We've added about 10 more people to our worship team!

Getting ready for our first IWL worship experience was a learning process, but the people at IWL really helped me every step of the way to make sure my first Sunday using IWL would run smooth... and it did. I sent 4 tracks to the sound guy using the Firewire 410 and it gave me the freedom to adjust the click in my earsas well as the instruments, the bass and the background vocals. This separation of parts through the Firewire 410 gave us a lot of control.

We are a young church (2 years old) running about 80 people on average and were not Nashville where even the guy at the gas station plays an instrument. :) It's been very difficult to make 3 people sound big, until now. I recommend IWL if you are a church plant or if you are a big church that does remote work such as evangelistic outreaches on campus and the like.

Interactive Worship Live has revolutionized our corporate worship in Philadelphia. We went from one guitar and one keyboard, to the sound of a full band; from the energy of a few people in the congregation singing quietly, to a room full of people singing with all their hearts. The consistent quality of the songs offered, plus the ease of adapting the arrangements to suit our needs, makes IWL the ideal companion to any Church desiring to worship God together with a sound that matches the very best of the mega-Church bands.

I wholeheartedly recommend IWL to any Worship Leader or Pastor who wants their corporate worship times to sound and feel big, energetic, and powerful.

Concerns over the learning curve of the hardware and software can be addressed by viewing the training videos, and by the quality customer service offered by the IWL staff. A worship leader who feels too busy to deal with technology can easily recruit a student or tech-savvy volunteer to assist in the operation of the IWL system.

We love our IWL system - and will use it until our band grows to the size where we no longer need help...at which time we'll sow the whole system into a smaller-growing Church who needs it. An investment in an IWL system is an investment in high-quality, high-energy corporate worship, no matter where you live, and how small your worship team is.

Interactive Worship Live has taken our praise & worship to the next level in our church. Being a smaller church that started two years ago, people and resources have been limited for a full-scale worship team. IWL has enabled us to sound excellent and professional while at the same time not losing the spontaneity in worship. Along with the user-friendly software Ableton Live, I am able to put together seamless transitions in our worship sets using the professional musicians used in the recording the tracks. Interactive Worship Live is a must have for any size church that wants a cost effective live tracks to fill out their sound and enhance their worship experience.  

As a campus minister at the University of Texas in Austin, I can enthusiastically endorse the effectiveness of IWL in our campus meetings. We've had great music with a traditional large band before, but as anyone in campus ministry knows, students inevitably graduate and move on. IWL has been a godsend to us, in that it significantly reduces the amount of people involved in the process of creating a full and excellent sound week in and week out, as well as reducing the amount of gear necessary to pull off a full sound as well (which as anyone knows who has regularly hauled gear in the past, that's a blessing!). Additionally, using IWL has reduced our cost and expense of doing praise and worship, as the endless gear required to do a large band sound is eliminated. The software runs on a PC and not just on a Mac, so the purchase of a new $2000 laptop is thankfully not a requirement either. In short, for a campus ministry that meets on the campus itself, IWL has the made the ongoing ministry of excellent (and mobile) praise and worship a reality.  

I've got to tell you our Easter service where we used IWL tracks was really incredible! We started with a drama into "O Praise Him" (with a change of every "He is Holy" to "He is Risen"!) into "My Savior Lives"...and "At the Cross" during communion. Our Bass player was absent, but did I fret??? This product is more than just filling in any missing part, it really helps our praise team take our congregation into His presence through praise!

Interactive Worship Live has created a new dynamic in our contemporary worship experience. We already have a strong, musically gifted worship team, yet we were still lacking the fullness of the sound you hear on today's contemporary radio stations, CDs and concerts - however adding Interactive Worship tracks has helped give our worship music more fullness and professional sound.

Since beginning to use Interactive Worship Live, numerous people have commented on how well our band has sounded and how their worship experience has improved. We are still playing the same way we have always been - but by adding selected portions of the Interactive tracks to our mix, the missing pieces have filled the gaps.

Nothing can substitute for authentic worship, but Interactive Worship Live has definitely added to the energy and professionalism of our worship experience.
