When thinking about a stripped down worship set, it’s important to remember that stripped down doesn\u2019t mean less engaging. Do things like change strum patterns and rhythms to keep your congregation engaged and be extra dynamic! Simply playing or not playing is one of the biggest things you can do to contribute to the dynamic of your set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Use Pads to Back Up Your Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pads are your friend! A simple pad in the background will help provide a platform for you to use when flowing from song to song. Silence can be distracting for your congregation and the pad fills the space. Feel free to check out Prime Pads<\/a> on LoopCommunity.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Keep Your Band in Mind<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When setlist planning, keep your band in mind so you can select the right instruments and tracks to use in the set. You can still use tracks in this style of worship if you select the right instruments. 4. Be Intentional with Your Song Selection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Be strategic and intentional when selecting songs. Make sure you choose arrangements that make sense for a stripped down worship set. We have different versions and track types on Loop Community<\/a> for many of our songs. By choosing the right track to play behind the band, you can eliminate distractions and enhance your sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We hope these tips help the next time you plan an acoustic worship set!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog-assets.loopcommunity.com\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-08-at-7.53.29-AM-1024x436.png\")

For example, you may want to mute the drum track in the song, but using some percussion and synth tracks may really fill out the sound of the band, while not ruining the acoustic fee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
