[QUOTE="Tim Duffin, post: 43640, member: 400"] Re: Getting the gig. Where did it all start? I have since moved on to a real industry. I'm sorry I don't have time to indulge the forum members with tales of minutia related to the sound business. If I was still doing sound, I would probably care more. I did notice, however, that all of the name calling and crying that took place in the other forum which was directed at me actually got me more gigs based me "being that guy" from the forums who "stood up to all those [expletive deleted]." At my last full time AV gig, I came upon an understanding of the true nature of the tour/high end AV industry. It was simply my intent to share it with people who are not trapped in a self-reinforcing mass delusion that they can rise to the top of the world just by "working hard" or doing some other nonsense found in 'get rich quick' books. The sound business contains a duality that assists in the elucidation of the lives of the people participating in it. Some use it to feel special, some use it to get laid, some use it to fulfill some emotional attachment to the touring culture or to fill a hole in ones otherwise irrelevant life. The sound industry is not and has never been an appurtenance of any economic model from a purely dollars and sense standpoint. This self reinforcing histrionic existence makes it impossible for people doing sound to entirely separate their emotional needs from the business (or should I say obsession) they continue to seek within the sound industry. nevertheless, good luck displacing Clair Bros by "working hard" 8)~8-)~:cool: [/QUOTE]
