You are probably right in some meaning, but my direction would be more the sensitive type of sound technique.
That means radio studios, recording studios, etc.
I don't think I never go to parties, because most technician I know works as DJ usually, and also if they are good at the sound recording, the band takes them to tour too, which is also probably one of the hardest job in the world.
I'm not sure how it goes with ladies, carrying those huge racks, but that cannot be a problem if someone is really talented.
I just wonder that I do know female dj's, but no technicians.
Does this IATSE has an online forum? I'd like to know more.
Thanks,
