[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 43201, member: 162"] Re: Getting the gig. Where did it all start? Tim - your troll is showing again. The concert pro audio industry is barely 50 years old, and many of the top companies around are less than 30 years old - everybody started somewhere. As Tim M said, clients use contractors who can do the gig well. If that's a hard working smaller company willing to do what it takes to make the gig happen, then so be it. I have two personal friends who started two different sound companies in the last 20 years from scratch and have built their businesses to $million+ inventories and who have more work than they can handle. I've seen more than a few businesses that start with $3 million dollars and end up with $0 because money and "political connections" aren't enough to sustain a company through screwed up gigs. I'm sorry your 100KW DAS aero self powered line array hasn't brought you the level of success you hoped for. [/QUOTE]
