Default Is the Coronavirus pandemic affecting your business?

I'm just wondering how you all are coping around the globe with the coronavirus concerns and the economic upheavals. Is it affecting your business?



I hope you all are taking prudent precautions to stay healthy.

"Home Office" here in Cologne, Germany. Just a little bit ADR and dialogue edit on headphones with my small mobile rig. But mixing schedules stay as they are

I'm only recording myself and mixing and editing for others until the new studio gets built. Everything's done online or over the phone right now so I'm good.

The rest of this week and next week of our tour has been cancelled.

No word beyond next week, but I'm expecting to be on layoff for between 2 and 4 weeks. And since all the rest of the live event production business and every other tour has cancelled, there won't be any local work either.

All of Broadway is shut down until at least April 12th. Many tours are canceled indefinitely.

Default Re: Is the Coronavirus pandemic affecting your business?

For the last few years, all of my studio work has been remote. I have actually been offered more work than my normal workload, because people are hoping I will stay home or be forced to stay home from my day job and have more time available. My day job is slightly slower than normal, but that’s typical for this time of year so I’m not sure if the virus has any effect on it.

The amount of panic and hoarding related to this is getting ridiculous. I guess it’s what we get for relying on social media as a credible source of information.

March break has been extended 2 more weeks here in Canada so I will have a couple of interns age 5 and 6 in the studio for a month...

Correction, it's 3 weeks.

Exclamation Re: Is the Coronavirus pandemic affecting your business?

We understand this is a complicated topic right now, so will try one last time before closing the thread.

Before replying to this thread...
1. Read the thread title to decide if your reply is related
2. Make sure there are no personal insults in your reply

Keep in mind that there are other more appropriate places on the internet to discuss politics and medical topics.

Thank you.

Default Re: Is the Coronavirus pandemic affecting your business?

I've been out of work for over 6 months.

Last last weekend I had my first gig since being sent home from the tour. running the in-stadium audio for a college football game. I have four more games scheduled through the end of the year, a day and a half each. And nothing else on the horizon.

I don't know when or if our tour will start back up. It will be next year if it does.

Until then I've started learning video production and am trying to get into doing rea estate video and photography.
