Which brings up a point, Cue. You have asked about audits for OMD host on several occasions. Since it's obvious that OMD hosts are kind of sort of mostly hopefully left alone by SC, my perception is that you would like to do it only to be listed on SC's site. Is that right?
First, for clarification, I would like to state that you and I use certain terms differently. While you use the term OMD (Original Manufacturer Discs) to mean you are only using original discs that were made by the actual manufacturer (I hope I have stated that correctly), I use the term ODB (Only Disc Based) or DB to mean that I am only using discs at my show (some of those discs were originally downloads which I purchased form SBI and DT, and I had to convert (media shift) them to CDG). The bottom line is, no matter which term you choose to use, you and I are both running a Disc Based show, and thus, there is no 1:1 ratio to be proven, because we are 1:None. You might argue the point that I am not completely 1:None, since I admit to having some downloaded files converted to CDG (so therefore, those files would be on a 1:1 ratio); however, we are both 1:None with regard to SC content... AND THAT IS ALL SC CARES ABOUT with regard to their audits.
That being said, the answer to your question (and I did not take it as a personal knock) is YES!!!
Since I am (by far) NOT a Salesman, I could use any advantage in finding a show for me to host (when my regular work-schedule allows for it). I have stated this in several of my earlier posts. Since SC has spread some kind of notification out there to (some) Venues, suggesting that if they want to find a "Legitimate KJ," they should check their (SC) website for a listing, I would like my name to be on that list. Using Chris Avis as an example, I am no different than Chris (other than the fact that he is a PC based KJ (I just can't bring myself to say PCB
), and I am a DB KJ). We both are using "Legitimate Libraries." He had a gig handed to him on a silver platter, because some Venue, a Venue which Chris had never approached or left his calling card, saw his name listed in SC's website, and they were looking for a "Legitimate KJ." I would like that same silver platter handed to me some time, and having my name out there could POSSIBLY present some of those opportunities. *** Footnote ***
Please note, that my usage of the words "Legitimate KJ" and Legitimate Libraries" is meant only as a reference in regard to SC's stated/defined standards. It is NOT MEANT to mean that anyone else here is not a Legitimate KJ.
