What are some good things to do when going to an audition


Trying to get some more ideas on some rules to follow when partaking in an audition.  Here are some of the initial thoughts on this:

  1. Don't Touch the equipment without permission
  2. Don't set your drink on equipment
  3. Be honest about your intentions of engaging in the audition.
  4. Its a good practice to bring a few CDs so you can listen to what you like.

Am I missing any?

Familiarize yourself with a particular song track you enjoy, and how it sounds.  

Take notes while listening to the same track on different systems, speakers.

You can start by simply noting likes and dislikes for each system you audition.

 

Show up stoned wearing sponge bob boxers. Have been known to immediately suggest in home audition....

"I always operated assuming the price tag is the price I pay."

If you're ready to buy, it's silly not to ask if they can do better, especially if it's a demo model or a trade-in.   They usually will find a way to make the sale if they know you're about to buy.
