Dante: So
how did you get into distribution of the SonicCore products?
GaryB: I
love the Scope products and use them every day running a small home
studio. I began selling them because I just happened to run into the one
shop that really knew about computers and music and I saw that this was
the only product that allowed me to function like a real studio, as much
in or out of the box as I chose. It was, and is, the only real-time
system available other than ProTools, and for my purposes Scope was more
useful. Nobody in my area had even seen such a product, and since
I worked in a music store, I wanted to help spread the word.
Helping the company that made my favorite audio product only made sense.
Dante: So
what are some of the challenges selling a product as unique as Scope?
GaryB:
Sometimes people can be short-sighted in their purchases. Often they
will spend a lot more on a bunch of little things that sort of fill an
actual need and then buy a bunch more little things, rather than just
spending the proper amount on something that can be more cost-effective
in the long run and always fills the need. Some would rather have
toys than tools.
Dante: So
have you known any big names that can endorse the Scope brand?
GaryB:
Hans Zimmer & Lisa Gerrard used Scope in the soundtrack to 'Gladiator'
as nominated for 'best sound' at the
Grammy awards. In fact, Hans put it in a nutshell in Sound
On Sound magazine when he described
Scope as 'his secret weapon which nobody seemed to know about'.
