As we are slowly starting to emerge from Zoom meetings and unplanned downtime, let's recall the last time we were together in person—celebrating the practitioners of our craft! In this, our yearly "Meet the Winners" issue, we are introduced to some new faces and catch up with veteran mixers who were honored for their work at the CAS Awards ceremony in February. Read about their backgrounds, the projects they're being honored for, as well as what they've been doing during the pandemic. Also, read about former CAS Board member, Secretary, Treasurer, educator, production sound mixer, former co-editor and contributor of this magazine, and all-around cool guy, Peter Damski CAS—the recipient of the first CAS Service Recognition Award. Fresh on her path to make a difference in the sound community, this year's CAS Student Recognition Award winner, Bo Pang, is interviewed by Peter Kelsey CAS, and our Outstanding Product winners also get to shine some insight into their excellent developments. Additionally, the online version of the Quarterly contains bonus coverage of this year's NAMM TEC Awards, provided by Peter Kelsey CAS. In addition to the awards coverage, and relative to aspects of the current situation, Karol Urban CAS MPSE provides insight into how some in the audio post world have adjusted their workflows to accommodate projects and deadlines in her article "Post-Mixing During COVID-19." On the production side, Adam Howell CAS shares some excellent (and crazy!) insight into capturing sound on reality and competition programs in his article "Mixing & Organizing Large- Scale Reality Shows." Taking us down memory lane, Whitney Worthen gives us the history of the first audience sweetening device, the Laff Box, in her article "The Laugh Track: Revolutionizing TV Sound." As always, be sure to read about the happenings of your fellow members in the "Been There Done That" and "The Lighter Side" sections. I encourage you to check the "Collaborators" section to meet the people behind the words, as the CAS Quarterly is produced as a service to our members and relies on their voluntary nature. If you're interested in contributing or have an idea for an article, let us know (Associate and Student members, this means you, too!). Email us at CASQuarterly@CinemaAudioSociety.org. Also, know that we greatly appreciate, and want, your feedback and suggestions—so send them in! Remember, our sponsors are professionals like you who understand the business and the needs of our industry. We encourage your commitment to them. On a personal note, I can't express enough gratitude to those who are tending to the health and well-being of others, those researching to develop a vaccine, and those placing themselves in an unknown arena to help keep us moving along safely.
