F R O M T H E E D I T O R When my son was in middle school, he attended a baseball camp put on by one of the universities here in Nashville. The head coach, who was no stranger to the College World Series, would give an insightful and encouraging speech at the start of each day. One morning, he came out in a thick ski jacket, winter gloves, and hat—as if he was ready to hit the slopes. Mind you, it was probably 99 degrees at eight in the morning. So, while the parents and kids in attendance were thinking maybe Coach should have detoured his walk toward the psych ward at the university 's hospital instead of the ballfield, his message of the day was clear; sometimes you have to adjust. On the ballfield, you don't know what the weather will be like, so you may have to adjust. You may have a muscle or joint that hurts, so you have to adjust. A batter may be more prone to this type of hit, so you have to adjust to make the play. In our world as sound mixers, we have all had to adjust over the past couple of months. For many, it has been a very challenging time. Yet, to keep things moving, we don't throw in the towel when things change, we adjust—just as the coach said. Here at the CAS, we've adjusted our Summer Event Series approach and our CAS Awards timeline. Now, with our continuing need for adjustments, you'll see some of your CAS Quarterly issues arrive in your mailbox at different times than in the past. Our hope is that we can provide informative and enjoyable content even as our awards season shifts. On that note, we have some articles that focus on making adjustments. Whitney Worthen discusses how COVID has changed the way live sports broadcasts are mixed and Patrick Spain CAS talks about remote music and score mixing during COVID. Devendra Cleary CAS continues his discussion from the Summer issue on how COVID has changed production mixing— focusing on VOG systems and gear disinfecting. Our coverage of the Mix Sound for Film & TV event also includes recaps of panels on other COVID- related topics. On the non-COVID front, Daniel Vasquez Velez CAS writes about the value of production sound effects in the mix while Tod Maitland CAS shares 30 years of insight and techniques for production mixing musicals—a master class in its own right. Also, production mixer Griffin Richardson CAS is interviewed by Adam Howell CAS in this issue's "Meet the Mixer" column. Finally, be sure to read about the happenings of your fellow members in the "Been There Done That" and "The Lighter Side" sections. I'd like to thank all of our contributors for volunteering their time to share their insights with us. Also, know that our sponsors are professionals like you who understand the business and the needs of our industry—even during these really crazy times. We encourage your commitment to them.
