[QUOTE="Brent Handy, post: 109547, member: 2097"] Re: Making the next step in the PA biz... Let's hear your thoughts Look, if I am managing the tech for the tour and mixing the show, I am going to advance the gig and verify the promoter has provided what we specified, or we don't do the show. I call and verify the provider's reputation. This is a small industry and it is easy to make or break your reputation. Plain and simple. I was never a gear snob per se. All I wanted to do was get off of the plane/bus, do my thing, and not have problems/failures. If the venue can get by with old 850s, fine. Just make sure they work and aren't loaded with Peavey drivers (yes, that happened to me). If I need a line array, I will go through my list of preferences. The important thing is the performance and everything required to make that performance good for all parties involved. Sure, the right people are important. Nobody is disputing that. But promoters want the cheapest provider, not the best sounding or staffed. I have never seen a tech rider with names of people on it. [/QUOTE]
