Today we're going to talk about transformation and how to really focus and align your business to this idea of experience. To do that, we brought on Cristin Thompson who is currently the Vice President of Sales Enablement and Customer Engagement at QSC. You always want to make sure you've captured what was said, what was written, or what was conveyed. Now, do we need the faster horse? Or do we need to build a car? That all comes back to what your strategy is for your company or organization. Whether to take the advice of your customers really depends on what type of business you're running and where you're wanting to go. Crispin's Background 1:00Where he goes when starting these initiatives 5:22Deciphering when to know that your way is better than what the customer thinks they want 7:25Why aren't companies able to turn feedback into action? 11:11Final thoughts 16:29“If you're thinking more about an outcome driven type exercise, meaning ‘I wanna help people get faster from point A to point B,' I don't necessarily care about the means of locomotion, that frees you up to interpret that as ‘Oh they're saying faster horse, but guess what. This brand new thing I'm thinking about is gonna help us close that gap. It's gonna change everything, and we're gonna have to help them get there.'” 8:24www.linkedin.com/in/crispinthompson/

Zweieinhalb Jahre ist es her, dass der Chef von q.beyond Jürgen Hermann zuletzt bei echtgeld.tv zu Gast war. Damals hieß die Gesellschaft noch QSC und hatte sich nach dem Verkauf ihrer Netz-Sparte eine ambitionierte Wachstumsstrategie als „Digitalisierer für den Mittelstand“ verordnet. Nach der erfolgreichen Fokussierung auf das Cloud- und SAP-Geschäft will q.beyond den Umsatz bis 2025 auf bis zu 300 Mio. Euro verdoppeln. Tobias Kramer und Christian W. Röhl haken nach, wie das gelingen soll, wann das Unternehmen nachhaltig profitabel wird und was q.beyond von anderen deutschen IT-Aktien wie Bechtle, Cancom oder Datagroup abhebt.

Recorded February 11, 2022 QSC divides into two divisions, focusing on their pro audio products and burgeoning control and AV transport lines respectively. Is this a good move? Time will tell, but they certainly have the metrics to show what website visitors are looking for. Oddly enough, after this announcement, QSC held an event where they announced products in both lines. It was… weird. Then we dive into AV replacement cycles, refresh cycles, life expectancy— whatever you prefer to call it. Do we set arbitrary schedules of 5, 7, 10 years or tie AV refresh projects to capital projects and building renovations. Marc tries to forecast 20 years out, Jamie had a plan that all went out the window, Larry bases his plans on PC replacements, Justin doesn't have a budget, and Chris wants to upgrade everything when the first item dies. Finally, we celebrate the little widgets, tchotchkes, adapters, converters, and odds & ends that keep our AV systems running. These products are truly the glue that holds the industry together.

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyzuT8UsUDI[/embedyt] The chapter may be 130 years old this year, but it's always found success through embracing change and meeting members' current needs, and the biggest need today is education and workforce development. With this podcast, we're sharing valuable ideas across state lines. Hear how: A committed board and a dedicated staffer boosted the chapter's education program to include an entire menu of offerings, from an expanded brick-and-mortar apprenticeship program and online options to programs through technical schools and even helping member companies build their own in-house programs. These efforts not only have resulted in more workers for the trades but more members and more revenue for the chapter! The chapter currently has more than 130 people in the PHCC Educational Foundation's Fast Track to Service Plumbing program … and is determined to have 800 throughout the state! Its safety recognition program – R.O.P.E.S. – has taken off and even has led to contracts to build policy and procedure manuals for member companies. There's so much more, including what advice our guests would give their 20-year-old selves, favorite reads (including The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive, a find from QSC), and goals for the year (to include winning another college football championship!). You'll find inspiration in every minute … and even see a surprise guest!

Happy Veteran's Day! To celebrate and honor our veterans today, we are having a special Veteran's Day episode. We sat down with two incredible veterans who were in town for the recent Infocomm Conference. Listen in to see how they served their country, then went on to have successful careers in the A/V industry. Joe Atanacio served with the U.S. Air Force, working with a lot of great talent on several different USO tours. After leaving the Air Force, he continued to work with incredible acts like the Blue Man Group and Cirque du Soleil. Ray Biba is a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps. Ray has had a long and successful career since leaving the Marines, even starting his own rep firm at one point. He now currently works at QSC as the Director of Systems Sales for the U.S. West and Florida territories.

This month's topic is “Time for Change,” which we interpreted as “how do we think of classroom AV systems in 2021 as opposed to the same systems in 2019?”  The technology hasn't really changed, but the tasks in those classrooms most certainly have changed, which means we now select the technology differently. But before we get into all that, we cover some recent news from QSC—or at least leaked from QSC via Rave—about how they're responding to on-going supply chain shortages.  Rather than continuously delay orders, QSC is apparently telling their industry partners (but not necessarily their end-user customers) that some product lines simply will not be available for the foreseeable future.  It's an interesting tact to be sure, and Jamie and Rachel are especially appreciative of it.  Rachel also highly recommends an article by a colleague on communicating with customers during a crisis (linked below). Then we discuss what a classroom system should look like in 2021 or 2022.  Sure, the general technologies are the same as we've been recommending for years, but now what was once considered an optional add-on is a critical component that is absolutely required for day-to-day teaching and learning.  Additionally, “classrooms” clearly extend beyond the four walls of the physical room, so other technology items that were previously considered to be core components can be removed as they no longer easily tie into the new model of mixed hybrid and hyflex learning.

Kristin is an entrepreneur, running an all-female entertainment company out of Orlando, FL. She's also an incredible DJ and brings her infectious energy to the latest episode of the Sound Connections podcast! Like many DJ companies, Kristin started out working gigs by herself. But her energetic hosting skills and her music mixing talent soon meant her schedule was completely booked. That led to her having to find other DJs to train, and soon Our DJ Rocks would become known as the #1 all-female DJ company in Orlando – rocking between 800 - 1,000 events annually. Kristin is now one of the most sought-after female DJs and entrepreneurs in the country and is also an author, speaker, and educator for the events industry. Kristin is also a big believer in the quality of QSC products and has become a featured DJ with QSC, producing content with other top talents from across the country. In this episode, we dive into Kristin's favorite bands, her eclectic collection of first albums, and her first-ever concert (NKOTB fans will be happy!). We also learn about Kristin's early time building Our DJ Rocks, and its sister company Photobooth Rocks, the devastating impacts of COVID on her industry, and how she was able to keep everything together and position her companies to succeed as weddings and live events return.

Recorded July 2, 2021 Biamp buys Neets and presumably looks to get into the larger ecosystem of AV control.  And that raises some interesting questions about control systems.  Aside from the big two, Crestron and Extron (AMX no longer counts), we're seeing a ever-increasing number of smaller companies introducing solid control options, often at a significant savings.   We've tried a few from Atlona, QSC, and others and they show real promise.  Also, what's the deal with these ePTZ cameras?  Are they worth it?  Spoiler: for the most part, yes.   Articles and links from the show: https://neets.io https://www.biamp.com/company/press-releases/press-release-detail/biamp-acquires-neets-a-s https://www.avinteractive.com/news/business/biamp-broadens-control-range-neets-acquisition-22-06-2021/ https://www.ravepubs.com/biamp-control-system-manufacturer/

ANNOUNCMENTS Quarantine Song Challenge-  We have had several submissions for the Quarantine Song Challenge and there has been a ton of talent represented! Due to time availability and the decreasing number of submissions, I believe it's a good time to bring it to a close. So, the final day for entering the QSC will be this Friday, May 22nd. The voting will begin the following Monday on the live stream as we all listen one last time to all the submissions and vote on them together. (There will also be offline voting available for those that missed the stream, but it will all take place on the YouTube Channel. The winner will be announced on the live stream Thursday, May 28th.  EAR TO THE GROUND  First up, in today's ear to the ground we're going to cover the IR packs being released by the guys over at Worship Tutorials.  One common problem you run into when playing an acoustic live as a DI source is the horrible representation of sound that the DI produces. The fact is, even an $11,000 guitar will sound like trash when pitted against the dreadful DI input. In order to combat this, the team over at the Worship Tutorials channel have come up with some IR (Impulse Response) Packs to help alleviate the woes of the sound guy and allow for an acoustic guitar to really shine on stage again. Here is a sound example of a Martin D-35 with the IR in action. The first portion is the D-35 mic'd up with an Earthworks S-R25, the second portion is the straight DI source, and the last portion is being ran through the S-R25 IR. The next portion we're going to listen to is the Holy Grail IR Pack.      This portion of audio is the channel owners beautiful McPherson Camrielle being played through the Line 6 Helix as a Direct Out, and as he's playing he is turning the Holy Grail IR on and off using the on board footswitch.  The first portion of audio we're hearing is with the IR off (dry direct out), the next portion is with the IR enabled, The guitars pickup is an LR BAGSS Anthem SL. This Acoustic IR pack captures the incredible tone of Brian McPherson® Camrielle. These IR's can be used in any hardware or app that accepts .wav IR files and allow you to get the sound of a world class mic'd acoustic guitar direct. Included in your download are multiple acoustic pickup options to accommodate a wide range of acoustic guitars and pickups. These are meant to make your acoustic guitar sound incredible. They are not designed to make an electric guitar sound like an acoustic. IMPORTANT NOTES 1. INTENDED FOR USE WITH ACOUSTIC GUITARS: Our acoustic IR's are intended to be used with acoustic guitars. They are not meant to make an electric guitar sound like an acoustic guitar. 2. CROSS PLATFORM: These .WAV impulse responses can be used in any hardware or application that supports IR's. This includes products by Line 6 (Helix, HX Stomp, HX Effects, etc), Kemper, Axe-FX, etc. 3. EXPERIMENT: We've included multiple options in this IR pack (more details below). The best idea is just to start experimenting with your guitar and find the IR or combinations of IR's that sound the best. Our recommendation is to first find the pickup type that fits your guitar best (see the pickup options section), and then experiment with different mic options for that pickup type.   3 FREE PLUGS  1- Lagrange by Ursa DSP - Lagrange is a unique stereo delay system producing other worldly echoes using granular techniques, where each grain is from a different point in the delay buffer: Use basic settings to create immersive stereo imagery with clean early reflections to give instruments a clear place in the mix. Use the feedback control to transform your sounds into droning evolving soundscapes. Shorten the delay time to create unusual metallic chorus effects. 2 - Glitch Machines Hysteresis -  Hysteresis features a delay effect with stutter, lowpass filter and modulation effects thrown into the feedback signal path. The input signal first goes through a delay line on each stereo channel, but instead of sending the output directly back into the delay line, the resulting signal is sent to a stutter processor, then to a lowpass filter and finally to another delay line on the opposite channel which is modulated for creating chorus type effects. The output of the second delay line is then routed back to the first one on the original channel. The stutter effect can be used to generate reverse delays, noisy pitch-shifting or raw granulation. The lowpass filter has an internal LFO to make the cutoff frequency oscillate, and the modulation processor can act as a subtle chorus or noisy modulator depending on the range of the modulation rate. 3 - Metric Halo Thump -   Thump is a unique audio processor that allows you to synthesize low frequency audio to add low end to a track or generate another sound entirely. Thump looks at the pitch and dynamics of its audio input and uses this information to control its oscillators. You can add low end to drums, augment a bass or even create synthetic drones. Thump is ideal for beefing up a kick drum, add low end to percussive tracks, re-create classic drum synth sounds, and more. You can use Thump's envelope driven, percussive sub-harmonic synth for the following things (among others): Build low-octave support for bass drum, tom, snare, and other percussive tracks Create kettle drum sounds from regular drum tracks Re-create the sounds of classic drum synths like the TR-808   Main Thought   The Creative's Worst Enemy As a creative you have infinite potential. You think differently than others, you troubleshoot and find ways around common ordinary problems that leave others seemingly paralyzed. Your stress levels are scientifically proven to be lower than the average person, and let's face it, you're a whole lot cooler than most people you know. Although there are many more positive traits attributed to all you wonderfully creative folk out there, we need to get real for a moment. There are some elephants in the room that we need to address, and we need to talk about it together, because I need to hear this as much as I need to say this.  Criticism-Lack of Confidence Look even with all the awesomeness that just oozes from us, there are some things we need to work on. For instance, most of us are very prone to have our feelings hurt easily when someone offers us criticism. This is due in part to the fact that creatives are more emotionally driven than the average person, and even if the vociferous vituperation (also know as hate) is unfounded or blatantly inaccurate, we have a tendency to allow it to ruin the rest of our day. Now, out of all the issues I am addressing today I chose to tackle this one first because it's the hardest one to deal with, and I feel like if you leave this one sided conversation before I'm finished, you at least need to hear this before you go. (BTW please don't leave) So, if you find yourself in an inner battle between what you believe about yourself versus what your accuser is saying, here are some things that we need to keep in mind. First off, consider the source. Is this a trusted friend that is trying to genuinely help you by pointing out something that you need to improve upon to become a better version of you? Sometimes, this is in fact the case, and we need to see this as a positive. If someone close to you has stepped out on that limb, knowing your proclivity to be easily offended, that means that they care enough about you to risk offending you to help open your eyes to an oversight on your behalf.  Conversely, if the criticism is coming from a complete stranger, or someone who knowingly doesn't care for you. Then, as hard as it is to do sometimes, simply push it out of your mind and realize that their words do not dictate your worth. You have to have enough confidence to be aware of your strengths, enough humility to know your weaknesses, and enough grit to pull your shoulders back, raise your head up, and calmly move on. Do not let it anger you. The old saying is, he who angers you, controls you. And you can't change a persons point of view who has not taken the time to know you in the first place.  However, supposing that what ever was said rings true and resonates. Then turn that negative moment, and the energy that it produces toward the problem and not the person. You can fix the problem if you own it, but if you allow that negativity to build a nest in your head, it's only going to breed more uncertainty. Yet again, confidence, humility, and grit. Whew, okay on to less sensitive topic. Procrastination The next thing I'd like to discuss is procrastination. I was going to talk about this first, but I figured I'd put it off for a bit. (chuckles to self) Perhaps one of the most widely used excuses made by creatives is a lack of time to be creative. I see it all the time in the various forums and Facebook groups I'm a part of, and believe me I get it. I mean who wouldn't want to have all the time in the world to sing, write, produce, mix, and everything else that makes us feel like we're actually accomplishing something. Most of us, myself included, have full time jobs, families to tend to, and a million other people that always seem to need just a little bit of our time. It's hard to fit in anything remotely creative when so many are pulling us in another direction. I mean, there is nothing creative about washing dishes and folding laundry. However, when the time arises, and we find ourselves without any other distractions. It is so easy to be lured down the paths of project folder clean ups, free plug ins, the latest gear review, or heaven forbid the cute kitty videos. There is an innate desire within us to use this time wisely, but whether it is fear that keeps us from creating or our lack of direction, somehow more times than most we finds ourselves wandering off the path to check emails or post our new shiny piece of gear we haven't used in a month.  The answer to procrastination isn't a simple one either, but here are some tips to help. Poor organization can lead to procrastination. Organized people successfully overcome it because they use prioritized To-Do Lists and create effective schedules. These tools help you to organize your tasks by priority and deadline. Even if you're organized, you can still feel overwhelmed by a task. Perhaps you have doubts about your ability and a fear of failing, so you put it off and seek comfort in doing work that you know that you're capable of completing. The truth is some people fear success as much as failure. They think that success will lead to being swamped with requests to take on more tasks. Surprisingly, perfectionists are often procrastinators. Often, they'd rather avoid doing a task that they don't feel they have the skills to do, rather than do it imperfectly. Another major cause of procrastination is poor decision-making. If you can't decide what to do, you'll likely put off taking action in case you do the wrong thing.  Procrastination is a habit – a deeply ingrained pattern of behavior. This means that you probably can't break it overnight. Habits only stop being habits when you avoid practicing them. So here some strategies to give yourself the best possible chance of succeeding. Forgive yourself for procrastinating in the past - This will help you feel more positive about yourself and reduce the likelihood of procrastination in the future. Commit to the task - Focus on doing, not avoiding. Write down the tasks that you need to complete, and specify a time for doing them. This will help you to proactively tackle your work. Promise yourself a reward - If you complete a difficult task on time, reward yourself with a treat, such as a slice of cake or a coffee from your favorite coffee shop. And make sure you notice how good it feels to finish things! Be accountable - Find someone to check in on your progress, or tell a group your a part of about the project you're starting. This will give you incentive to get it done, knowing that others know about it. Act as you go - Tackle tasks as soon as they arise, rather than letting them build up over another day. Rephrase your internal dialog - Change the phrases "need to" and "have to," for example, to "I choose to." This implies that you own a project, and can make you feel more in control of your workload. Minimize distractions - Turn off your email and social media, and avoid sitting anywhere near a television while you work! Do the Worst, First - Get those tasks that you loathe out of the way early. This will give you the rest of the day to concentrate on work that you find more enjoyable. Now, for the keen mind that picked up on the underlying theme here. These two problems feed into one another, and both in some way stem from fear. Whether it is fear of failure or fear of the unfulfilled, at the heart of most of our unfinished tasks is an underlying fear that even when the task is completed it won't be good enough. Maybe you feel like I do at times, that when I finally finish the task, I will let myself down with its lack of perfection. Yet, the answer to becoming better at anything in life is to strive for perfection. In other words, do more of what you're not doing now because you're to afraid you'll come up short.  The only way to get better at something is to do it over and over, until you learn what to do and what not to do.  If you were to ask a hundred famous inventors, artists, or creatives (people like Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford, Leonardo Davinci, etc.) what did you do to get from point "A" to point "B"? Everyone one of them would tell you by making a lot of mistakes and completing (keyword) hours worth of work on something that others told me was frivolous. The fact is, that sometimes what's holding you back is the thought that something is holding you back, and sometimes we just need to get out of our own way.
