SUMMARY:Soldering for Beginners
DESCRIPTION:Soldering for Beginners Webinar\n\n\n\nSoldering is one of the most useful skills a sound technician can have. It can seem daunting at first\, but it is surprisingly easy once you know-how. It can help you understand your equipment and signal flow better\, save you money\, and there’s nothing quite like whipping out a soldering iron and saving a gig to silence the doubters. \n\nThis webinar will cover the basics of soldering and we will be making and soldering an XLR Cable. The webinar is taught by Christina Milinusic and will be assisted by Barbara Adams. \nApril 18 at 3 PM PST/6 PM EST \nRegistration is limited to 60 people. \nRegister Here\nYou need to gather the following materials and review this Soldering PDF CMilinusic_SoundGirls_SolderingXLR(1) \nTo make an XLR cable you need\nStandard 3 wire analog cable.\nThe configuration of this balanced cable is signal (+)\, signal (-)\, and shielded common (ground). The (+) wire carries the in-phase signal and the (-) wire carries the inverted signal. This balanced cable has good noise rejection because the noise is always in-phase. This means once the cable is plugged in the (in-phase) noise will be subtracted out. The recommended maximum length of an XLR is 100 feet (30 meters). \nXLR Connectors (Plug-Socket) \n  \n\n \n2 XLR Connectors (Both Plug and Socket) \n\n  \nTools needed \n\nSoldering Iron\,\nSolder\nWire strippers and flush cutters.\nPanavise ‘helping hand’\,\nNeedle Nose Pliers\, a utility tool (Leatherman)\nSolder Sucker or Solder Wick\n\nSee PDF for pictures \nCMilinusic_SoundGirls_SolderingXLR(1) \n

SUMMARY:Anti Racism Discussion Group – August 9th at NOON PST
DESCRIPTION:Anti Racism Discussion Group\nSeveral of our members have asked that we start a discussion group on Anti-Racism Work.\nWe are forming a monthly discussion group\, where we will study on our own a video\, essay\, book\, etc. and then meet to discuss what we have learned and how we can apply it to creating a more inclusive industry.\nFor our first discussion we will watch\nIbram X. Kendi’s Lecture on How to be an Antiracist\, at UC Berkeley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxa43H8m034\nWe will discuss key questions from the How to Be an Anti-Racist Book Club  \nAnd explore and share our experiences within the industry. \nIf you want to read the book we encourage you to do so. You can order How to Be An Anti Racist directly from the publisher here or from your favorite Independent Bookseller. Consider ordering books from a black-owned bookstore find one here. \nThis discussion group will be in a safe space and we are working on rules to keep all members safe. We will be sending these out with the Zoom Link. \nAugust 9th at NOON-2 PM PST – 3 to 5 PM EST.\nThis discussion is planned for 2 hours.\nRegister here\n\nWhy Anti-Racist work?\nUsing an anti-racist intersectional frame\nAn anti-racist intersectional frame recognizes all the different ways people and communities experience racism with respect to their identities. An anti-racist frame also recognizes that racism both in the United States & abroad is grounded in and motivated by anti-Black racism. Therefore\, an anti-racist intersectional frame provides a conceptual tool to examine institutional and systemic oppression that Black\, Indigenous & People of Colour (BIPOC) face because of both their race and identities while providing a guiding approach for working with and in communities and systems to create a more just and equitable society. \nHow does anti-racist work intersect with sexism and misogyny in the music industry? Intersectional theory asserts that people are often disadvantaged by multiple sources of oppression: their race\, class\, gender identity\, sexual orientation\, religion\, and other identity markers. \nAn anti-racist intersectional frame is an action-orientated frame. It critiques society’s structure and its treatment of people and communities while providing a guiding approach for how to work towards a more just and equitable society. \n\nDefinitions\nCentral to using a frame is developing a shared language. The following breaks down individual concepts as a means to better understand what an anti-racist intersectional frame entails. \nAnti-racism is the active process of identifying and challenging racism\, by changing systems\, organizational structures\, policies and practices\, and attitudes to redistribute power in an equitable manner. \nAnti-Black Racism is any attitude\, behavior\, practice\, or policy that explicitly or implicitly reflects the belief that Black people are inferior to another racial group. Anti-Black racism is reflected in interpersonal\, institutional\, and systemic levels of racism and is a function of white supremacy \nA racist idea is any concept that regards one racial group as inferior or superior to another racial group in any way. \nIntersectionality is a concept and frame coined by Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989\, to describe the ways in which race\, class\, gender\, and other aspects of our identity “intersect” overlap and interact with one another\, informing the way in which individuals simultaneously experience oppression and privilege in their daily lives interpersonally and systemically. Intersectionality promotes the idea that aspects of our identity do not work in a silo. Intersectionality\, then\, provides a basis for understanding how these individual identity markers work with one another. \n\nResources on Anti-Racist Work and Intersectionality\nHOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST \nBLACK LIVES MATTER \nKimberlé Crenshaw: What is Intersectionality? \nIntersectionality Matters: A Conversation with Kimberlé Crenshaw \nSoundGirls Anti-Racist Resources

Since then\, Michelle has traveled the world mixing FOH for some of the most recognizable names in music including Indigo Girls\, Jewel\, Gwen Stefani\, Janet Jackson\, Melissa Etheridge\, Goo Goo Dolls\, Styx and many more.  In 2015 Michelle was inducted in Full Sail University’s Hall of Fame and in 2019 Michelle created and launched Mixing Music Live an online video course for live sound and mixing.  She is an active mentor and coach to those seeking a career in Live Sound and Music Production and has been a frequent speaker on industry and university panels and conferences.  Michelle is Co-Founder of soundgirls.org and she continues to be a full time touring sound engineer\, most recently on tour mixing Elvis Costello up until the current pandemic. \nKarrie has spent the last 30 years as the monitor engineer for Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder. Karrie started out doing sound for punk bands in Los Angeles in 1986 under the tutelage of Dave Rat of Rat Sound\, where she spent twenty years helping to establish the company. She was able to gain an immense amount of hands-on experience and technical knowledge at Rat\, which eventually led to her becoming the monitor engineer for The Red Hot Chili Peppers from 1990-2000. She first met and started working with Pearl Jam who opened for RHCP on their 1991-1992 Blood Sugar Sex Magic Tour. She has worked with Sonic Youth\, Fugazi\, and Neil Young.

Koz also exposed Melissa to other Jazz\, Blues\, Pop\, and Funk artists (Al Jarreau\, David Sanborn\, Tower of Power\, Keb Mo\, Sheila E.\, James Ingram\, and Boney James) that expanded her career. \nWorking in a smaller market is intimate\, personable\, and constantly shifting gears.  You wear a lotta different hats to get the job done. A positive attitude and a strong work ethic go a long way. It’s kept Melissa busy the past 25 years and taken her all over the world. \nTana Douglas is acknowledged as rock’n’roll’s first female roadie.
