Weak current College】 【improve audio people efficiency 7 habit.

You may have their own methods of work, but you will read this article proves the fact that you're willing to learn new things and have a positive attitude.

According to the business experience, efficiency habit list is from a larger list of and is considered to be part of its core. What kind of work you do and what it is, but in General, they use very broad.

Excellent organization skills

Learn how to achieve high-efficiency need developing one's personality and learning skills. It takes time to save enough experience, understand that you are in circumstances how effectively organized.

Some people seem to have only time values, priorities, and make things happen. But it's on the other hand is expanded learning (Tools). Now the PDA, iPhone, software, etc., are not limited to this, in many respects to maintain organizational has never been so simple.

At the same time, these tools require learning, updates, and constant attention. My suggestion is to avoid the "lead" to persist in using the simplest tools to get the job done. This will help avoid letting you into using tools just to use a tool, not to degenerate into gear sluts or other things!

Once you have established an effective schedule and stick to it.

Continuous learning

Like the above organization tools, audio equipment is constantly changing and increasingly complex and sophisticated.

This is a good thing, because we always want to use the best tools and the most effective way of doing things. But the drawback is that the threshold is higher and higher, so it requires us all to keep in the forefront of the latest technology.

Even if you do not follow the latest software or hardware solutions, we also need continuous learning skills. Although this concept is also suitable for toilet paper and toilet, but more importantly in our field, the art and science can create new experiences.

None of us can think of from here to the coast. I suggest that the annual agency one or two courses or seminars, trade fairs, there are many workshops and panel discussions, in particular, information exchange and AES. Then the good ol ' OJT (on-the-job training this is the "," the challenge of initials around us ... ) Has never let us down.

Ask around, here you can get work and learning things that do not know. What are you waiting for?

A positive attitude

This is a drop of universal universal truth. A negative attitude, will become the enemy of your career development, and the owner and a positive attitude, you will be able and willing to learn and clear directions and at the same time to your customers, employees and employers.

All the factors which I have referred to a person's potential career brought differences, this was perhaps the most important.

Examples of what?

To fill the copier or fax machines in the paper, don't wait for someone else to change the cartridge, when you have time to proactively repair cable, racking, replace the driver or do any other work of the "dirty." Active as the lights of the man and the end of a long day of alarm and lock the door Assembly. To be able to recognize the error and forward the "correct", and then prepare for action. I'm sure you can find many other examples of their own. Basically, you want to be recognized as a "make it happen".

Counselling

This point may not have a list of various other obvious or intuitive, but equally important, in the process, you will not be afraid to learn skills? believe you more than others but do not be afraid of others than you.

Frankly, the inevitable is young gunman eventually know more than you, you will eventually be replaced. But you don't want to let them think you're helping them get there, just like a hero? "on the contrary, many of us have their own" secret "and found others definitely" in "for ourselves.

SynAudCon founder DonDavis often say "two people meet to Exchange u.s. dollars, so now everyone is still only $ 1, two people meet to exchange ideas, and now everyone will have two ideas. "Promoting team rises rapidly growing method is to share ideas and to work to support the best people. Do not forget that the best idea is not just your own.

Tips for people doing things

This point should be obvious, but nevertheless, I think that emphasized that often enough. Tips for people doing things almost always fighting skills.

No one wants to treat people demanding the "genius", from the band we can see this from the staff we can see this, they often do not have good results. If you think that "everyone has the right but also more than me" (hob Moebius sympson referenced) you may just want to look in the mirror, and find out how to get tips for people doing things.

In General, almost everyone trying to do whatever it takes to do well. Therefore, you will help them do this?

Of course, Huajun's skills in dealing with customers is particularly important, do not forget that they paid the Bill, it wished to receive appropriate treatment. Of course, they may have some stupid idea or an unrealistic feel "it brings something special" wants to complete the task, but there is a good idea to tell them these things, give them something other than you do, not your competition.

Here's a statistic to remember-there is a general problem occurs more faithful to the supplier, this point has been corrected, and they get fair treatment, and loyal vendors there is nothing wrong with that. Think about it.

Technical skills

Yes, of course-in our industry, technical skill is required. However, your technical skills really great? if you think you have something to learn, check the second project (continuing learning) asDescribed in. We all can learn more. I learn new things have been very surprised, amazed at how it worked immediately for me. When you start this business, I was surprised that some schools to learn the basics, such as how to calculate decibels, Ohm's law, basic power supply design and through various systems of signal flow makes me different from their peers.

Part of our industry is hearsay information prevail, but real information often more rare. Lecture, seminar, occasionally contact book. Even the "old" books such as YamahaSoundReinforcementHandbook manuals are good resources. Everyone engaged in professional audio should have a really reading its contents.

Related to this is welding techniques, how to use the voltage/ohm meter, how do I resolve system problems, how to solve grounding. This is almost impossible to imagine that there are no additional skills in how to engage in the business, but you and I both know that is true.

Listening

First, even if we disagree, we must listen to people tell us. What others say is often an element of truth, which in turn, also suitable for any business.

Another type of hearing, specific to our business directly related to the sound. Even if we were hearing acuity is very good, we also need to train our mind how critical listening to, and then use that to do.

Unfortunately, we hear the voice of 99% or more of the quality is very poor. Distortion, terrible frequency imbalance, a too large to appropriate sources or genre of music, and so we can do? I always recommend to take the time to listen to the soundtrack music, listening to or playing acoustic guitar, listen to music or bluegrass band, which made our ears used real music sounds just like does not require any system (and related) distortion.

But-like doing, I asked myself, "How do I know this is acoustic sound?" this is a great question, the answer is not obvious. When you hear a real musical instrument playing, you should know that it is authentic. A real saxophone sound from an open window, a true Celtic harp, a real String Quartet.

But how do you know? with these questions will it apply to your design, build and run a sound system. We will do better.
