With youth and children, this can be very helpful indeed. When singing Southern Gospel Music as a group or choir, it is common for people to follow the pitch of the singing group as a whole.

For a standard stereo music player, find the balance control which is set in the center so the left and right stereo speakers play the audio output at the same level.

This is what it means to have a music mix as a split track.

In a Southern Gospel music rehearsal situation, the balance control can stay in the center or be moved toward the vocal side so that learning the song will become much easier.

For using Southern Gospel Music split track CDs in a children's church situation and youth music ministry, a small amount of the original recorded vocals can be allowed to come through the speakers or stage monitors which will enhance the live performance.

The other use of Southern Gospel Accompaniment Music split tracks is if your church sound system has an audio mixing board in the auditorium and sanctuary. A mixing console, mixer or audio board has individual input channels to connect microphones, instruments and other audio sources. Each channel of the sound mixer can be individually raised and lowered to mix the sound to be balanced to the ear. These individual channels are then controlled by a master left and right volume control.

Also, many mixing boards have stereo control channels with standard audio connectors (such as "RCA" inputs found on common stereo equipment). A "balance control" knob that works as a "pan control" knob allows controlling the audio level of the left or right output of the stereo channels.

Insert the left and right output of a CD player into individual mixer board channels. For simplicity, let's say channel 1 is left line while channel 2 is for the right line. On a mixing board that outputs a stereo signal, on each mixing board channel you will find a knob that is labeled "pan". This pan control is usually set in the center and moves left to right. This moves the sound in that channel to be more to the left speaker or more in the right speaker.

Move the pan control for channel 1 and rotate it completely to the left. Take the pan control for channel 2 and move it completely to the right. Set both Channel one and Channel 2 slider volume controls (known as the "faders") to equal levels. You will now hear a standard stereo playback.

In order to have the music instruments play equally on the left and right speakers without the recorded vocals for Southern Gospel Accompaniment tracks singing, move that pan control back to the center. Move the recorded Southern Gospel vocal part (the slider volume control) down to zero. You should now have only the instruments playing back through both speakers of your church sound system.

If your mixing board at church or fellowship hall has a vocal monitor output connected to the sound system, you have another option. Send some of the recorded vocal track side into the monitor speakers for the Gospel vocalist and Southern Gospel singers to use as a reference.
