I’ve been reading a bunch of books on sales and marketing lately and one book that is really sticking out for me is Selling the Invisible by Harry Beckwith. Selling a services is a hard game and recording time, technical services, mixing etc is hyper competitive and this read WILL help anyone selling the intangible. This book would have done me well several years ago but will do me justice for the future.

I’m looking to invest in a mobile acoustic measurement software and am looking for opinions.

I’ve been playing with the Spectrafoo Demo and I must say it’s very impressive
http://mhsecure.com/metric_halo/products/software/spectrafoo.html and it’s very competitively priced. The Main thing appealing to me about foo is the “Transfer Function Measurement System” I became familiar with while using a SIM system… This to me is the most valuable feature.

There has been talks of 12 channel consoles being made so designs are moving from paper to cad… I’ve been dreaming up a new design of side panel that can lay flay or be stood upright using a support. The idea is to put them on an island in either upright or flat positions. The faders would be flat in the mix position, and angled in the upright position. The back interconnect would be all edacs.

A few years ago I made another Sub-Kick. I used all Yamaha Parts… so I guess it’s a Yamaha Sub Kick
