That is called being “a worship pastor.” I was not very comfortable with that title, for reasons I can get into another time. I went through a trend of having the musicians play with a supplemental backing of pre-recorded music during church. The intent was to fill out our rather small lineup and provide a “bigger sound.” Feels like Spinal Tap just typing it out. Well, I myself would create these “backing tracks” on my computer at home—playing extra guitar parts, programming in extra drums, adding transition effects, adding the occasional frizzy keyboard arp part. I would usually wake up between 4 and 5 AM to put the finishing touches on the “backing track.” I put the team through a lot to make this work — and from where I now stand, it feels misguided and selfish.
