For all of the audio techs out there..

Audio director Bradley D. Meyer examines some important, yet often overlooked facets of landing a job in sound design in this article from Designing Sound.

"Perhaps the easiest thing to overlook when thinking about how to stay in your job is yourself. Staying healthy and trying to do things that make you feel happy or fulfilled can be crucial to making you want to stay in such a kooky industry." #SoundDesign

WIRELESS MICS AND THE FCC:

On Thursday, July 13th, the Federal Communications Commission will hold its July Open Meeting, and is considering a new proceeding in response to petitions filed by Shure and Sennheiser. This new proceeding would propose permitting certain qualifying professional theatre, music, performing arts organizations, and similar organizations to obtain Part 74 licenses to operate wireless mics based on the applicant’s demonstrated need and requisite professional ability to operate in the bands, even if they routinely use fewer than 50 wireless microphones.

Recently, Microsoft sent out a statement to the FCC in which they "recommended that the Commission not propose to permit an expanded class of wireless microphone users to block wireless broadband operations in White Spaces channels.”

Theatre Communications Group, in addition to many others in our industry, believes that it is in the best public interest for the FCC to allow the proceeding to move forward and not cave to Microsoft. The resulting discussion could quite possibly result in a solution that satisfies all parties.

Spread the word if you agree that the FCC should move forward with this proceeding!
